19th century pitch pine bookcase at Victor Mee’s sale of contents from the St. Louis Convent in Monaghan. UPDATE: THIS MADE 3,400 AT HAMMER
A once off selection of antique furniture, lighting, religious art and ecclesiastical brass will come under the hammer at Victor Mee’s live online sale of contents from the St. Louis Convent in Monaghan and other clients on May 13 and 14 at 6 pm on both days. A selection of one off pieces is led by a large 19th century six door bookcase with a realistic estimate of just €800-€1,200. A 19th century pitch pine bookcase, another very large piece, has an estimate of €600-€1,200. At the other end of the sale is a striking pair of 1970’s leather club chairs by Bart van Bekhoven (€800-€1,200). Oak refectory tables and a French gilded six branch chandelier are among the standout lots.
Pub mirrors are highly collectible and Aidan Foley will offer a number of them at his online sale next on May 12 and 13 at 6 pm on each day. A rare Watts Tyrconnell Pure Pot Still Whiskey mirror and a large Jameson Whiskey mirror lead the pack. There are concert posters of Limerick interest featuring U2 and The Pogues at The Savoy and a large selection of hotel furniture. The catalogue is online and the auction is on view until Monday at the old Cleeves Toffee factory in Limerick.
UPDATE: THE SALE BY VICTOR MEE HAS BEEN PUT BACK TO MAY 20-21.
