There is a lull in Ireland’s auction calendar for the rest of the month. But it is not entirely empty. If you really need an auction fix you will be glad to note that at Cork Auction Rooms there is a sale on Sunday, December 29 with viewing on the previous day. And a quick glance at our Next column reveals that this is not the only auction on this day. In Cork there will be around 600 lots with everything from a large vintage wooden elephant to a Victorian pitch pine church pew to a first edition of The Big Fellow by Frank O’Connor. The catalogue is online. Here is a small selection.
A Victorian pitch pine church pew is estimated at 180-250.
This vintage wooden elephant is estimated at 350-500.
A first edition of The Big Fellow by Frank O’Connor is estimated at 60-100.
A Victorian hallstand with tiled inserts is estimated at 200-300.
This vintage oak bureau bookcase is estimated at just 60-100.
