Gunning Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Gunning name in Ireland is a Gaelic Irish surname — O'Gunna in its older form, from a Gaelic personal name — found principally in County Roscommon and the broader Connacht region, the bearers of this name part of the native Irish community of the west. The Gunning families were part of the Gaelic world of Connacht, a province shaped by the great O'Connor dynasty and by the extraordinary landscape of lakes, rivers, and Atlantic coastline that defined the western counties. This Irish woven blanket features the Gunning family crest against the Irish National Tartan, for those who carry this Connacht name.

History & Heritage

The O'Gunning families of Roscommon were part of the dense Gaelic Irish population of the Connacht midlands, a region whose family names reach back to the earliest periods of Irish recorded history. Like many of the Connacht Gaelic families, the Gunnings maintained their name and identity through the upheavals of the Tudor conquest, the Connacht Plantation, and the Penal era, their name carrying across the centuries into the present. The Gunning name today is found across Ireland and in the Irish diaspora wherever Connacht families settled.

Construction

The design is part of the cloth itself: consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft and substantial feel from the premium cotton, and traditional fringed edges completing the piece in the correct manner.
