Grattan Irish Heritage Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Grattan name in Ireland is an Anglo-Irish surname associated above all with one of the most celebrated figures in Irish parliamentary history: Henry Grattan, the brilliant Dublin barrister and orator whose eloquence in the Irish Parliament won a period of legislative independence for Ireland between 1782 and 1800 — the era known as Grattan’s Parliament. Born in Dublin in 1746, Grattan was the defining voice of the Protestant patriot tradition in eighteenth-century Ireland, arguing passionately for Irish constitutional rights within the framework of the British connection. His name became synonymous with Irish parliamentary liberty. This Irish woven blanket features the Grattan family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring a name of singular importance in the Irish political tradition.

History & Heritage

The Grattan family were part of the Anglo-Irish professional and legal community of Dublin, and Henry Grattan’s parliamentary career spanning decades made the name Grattan one of the most recognisable in all of eighteenth-century Ireland. His opposition to the Act of Union in 1800 — which he regarded as the destruction of Irish constitutional identity — and his subsequent career in the Westminster Parliament continued to make him a figure of enormous respect across Irish political life. The Grattan name carries this extraordinary legacy.

Construction

This blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the Grattan family crest and the Irish National Tartan integrated into 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.
