An Irish Georgian three pillar dining table is among the lots to feature at the Lynes and Lynes auction at Carrigtwohill, Co. Cork on November 26. The auction features a fine collection of antique furniture from houses including Dunkathel House in Glanmire and Castlefreke, both in Co. Cork.
The Georgian dining table (40,000-60,000) is one of a number of antique furniture lots from Dunakethel House. Another lot from the house, a rare circular butler’s tray with fittings, is estimated at 20,000-25,000. A large gilt over mantle mirror (320,000-30,000) was supplied to the house in 1837. It was made by Richard Harris, carver and gilder of Hanover St., Cork. Other lots bound to be of interest to serious collectors are a large fruitwood bookcase (40,000-60,000), a pair of Cork side tables with cross banded tops (30,000-50,000) and ten Georgian Cork dining chairs.
