This woven blanket honours that lineage through the Usher family crest and the warm tones of the Irish National Tartan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Usher Name\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the occupational name usher — a door-keeper or official who controlled access to a great hall or court — the Usher family established themselves in Dublin from the medieval period, becoming one of the significant families of the Pale. The most distinguished bearer of the name in an Irish context is James Ussher (1581–1656), Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh and one of the most learned men of his era. A scholar of extraordinary range, Ussher compiled the famous Ussher Chronology, which calculated the date of Creation as 4004 BC — a calculation that, though superseded, dominated biblical scholarship for two centuries. He was also instrumental in acquiring what became the Long Room library at Trinity College Dublin, one of the great libraries of the world. The Usher Arms at Ushers Quay in Dublin preserve the family name in the city’s landscape to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWoven Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blanket is woven on a loom, not printed.
