Ceud Mile Fàilte!
Welcome to Celtic Dreams, the gift and jewelry site dedicated to bringing you
the best Celtic designs, both modern and traditional.
The Celts have left a distinctive artistic heritage which is alive and
well in the Gaelic parts of Britain, the "Celtic Fringe" of
Europe. Here in Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, Wales and the Isle of
Man, this artistic heritage is being developed and extended today,
bringing contemporary interpretations to traditional designs, but
also creating new and exciting pieces. Take for example our Charred
Silver collection.
Of
course this process is nothing new; it has been going on for a while!
It is no surprise that many of the leading designers in the Art
Nouveau and Arts & Crafts movements were from the "Celtic
Fringe". Charles Rennie Mackintosh, The Glasgow Girls ( Scotland )
and Archibold Knox ( Isle of Man) spring to mind. The complex &
intertwined knot work of Celtic design, often based on natural
subjects, is not that far removed from the flowing lines and
intricate design of the Art Nouveau period, also often based on
natural forms.
The
Celtic culture that produced such distinctive art is worth preserving
and studying too. So here at Celtic Dreams you will get a flavor of
the legends, language, history and culture of the Celtic Peoples of
the British Isles. It is sobering to remember the tales of heroes
such as Fingal ( Fionn MacCumhail), Cuchulainn ( "The Hound of
Ulster") and the Children of Lir , contained in the "Ulster
Cycle" and "Scottish Cycle" are the earliest European folk-lore
stories yet surviving, dating from over two and a half thousand years
ago and are the last remaining echoes of the story telling bardic
tradition of the original Europeans, the Celts, who at one time were
powerful enough to defeat Rome, occupy and sack it for a year.
As
Giàidheals ourselves, we at Celtic Dreams are intensely proud of our
heritage. We hope you enjoy it too.
