  • PAIR OF MIRRORS FROM CASTLE FREKE AT HEGARTY’S SALE

    One of the mirrors from Castle Freke. (Click on image to enlarge).  UPDATE: The mirrors were unsold but are under offer.

    A pair of Irish 19th century mirrors from Castle Freke in west Cork will feature at Hegarty’s auction in Bandon on September 18. They were last sold at the dispersal sale at Castle Freke in 1919. They have remained with the same family since 1919.

    The mirrors have the same makers mark, but are not an identical matching pair. They will be offered separately, as lots 99 and 100.  The gilt edge mirrors, with mask decoration and floral carving, are each estimated at 3,000-5,000.
    The auction of 250 lots features a set of Regency dining chairs, a bureau bookcase by Edwards and Roberts, a Victorian two door library bookcase and a Victorian pier mirror. There is around 20 lots of Irish and English silver and an antique glass vase with the Mary Gregory stamp.

    The mirrors were unsold. Bidding reached 2,300 and they are now likely to be sold privately.
