This large Killarney davenport by the renowned Irish furniture maker Arthur Jones comes up at Woolley and Wallis in Salisbury on April 10. Inlaid with shamrocks, hearts and panels illustrating Glena Cottage and Muckross Abbey it has close similarities with one illustrated in an article on the development of the davenport by Bernard Hughes in Country Life magazine in 1971. A similar piece forms part of the collection at the Ulster Museum. Arthur Jones led a distinguished Dublin firm that played a significant role in 19th-century Irish furniture design. Lot 618 is estimated at £4,000-£6,000 (€4,780-€7,170).
