{"product_id":"goldsmith-surname-irish-heraldry-woven-blanket-4665643","title":"Goldsmith Irish Heritage Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Goldsmith name in Ireland is carried by families of English origin whose most celebrated Irish connection is Oliver Goldsmith — the eighteenth-century poet, playwright, and novelist whose works include \u003cem\u003eThe Vicar of Wakefield\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eShe Stoops to Conquer\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Deserted Village\u003c\/em\u003e, one of the most enduring poems in the English language. Born at Pallas, County Longford in 1728, Goldsmith was the son of an Irish clergyman and grew up in County Westmeath, his childhood in the Irish midlands shaping the pastoral nostalgia that runs through his greatest work. This Irish woven blanket features the Goldsmith family crest against the Irish National Tartan, for those who carry this name as part of their Irish heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOliver Goldsmith’s ‘The Deserted Village’ — with its lament for the lost rural community of \u003cem\u003eSweet Auburn\u003c\/em\u003e — is often read as a poem about Ireland and its dispossessed, a meditation on the loss of the Irish rural world that resonates as deeply today as it did in the eighteenth century. Goldsmith himself was quintessentially Irish in his formation: educated at Trinity College Dublin, shaped by the landscape of the midlands, and carrying throughout his life the warmth and wit that his contemporaries found so characteristic of his Irish personality. The Goldsmith name in Ireland is inseparable from this remarkable literary legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the Goldsmith family crest and the Irish National Tartan created within the textile structure during weaving, not printed onto the surface. The design is part of the cloth itself: consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft and substantial feel, and traditional fringed edges completing the piece correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: premium cotton yarn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: woven, not printed — design integral to the textile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable sizes: 52″ × 37″, 60″ × 50″, 80″ × 60″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: traditional fringed edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: machine wash cold, tumble dry low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAt Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver a sofa, across a reading chair, or displayed on a wall in a study or family room — this blanket carries the Goldsmith name into a home where Irish literary and midland heritage is part of the household story.
