Kilternan Lodge.
There will be a two day house contents sale at Kilternan Lodge, Kilternan, Co. Dublin – home of the late Don Carroll of tobacco manufacturers Carroll Industries – on October 29 and 30 at 1 p.m. on each day. Matthews of Oldcastle will conduct a sale with 1,250 lots in total. Around 650 lots, many with reasonable estimates, will come under the hammer on day one. Born in Cork in 1927 Don Carroll, who died in 2000, was an influential figure in Irish industry and banking and served as governor of the Bank of Ireland. The house (pictured right) has been bought by the interior decorator Helen Turkington who plans to refurbish it.

Exhibitors at TEFAF New York Fall 2016 have been extremely positive about the event. The light and airy atmosphere was much appreciated by attendees of the historic building that is the Park Avenue Armoury. It was completely transformed by Dutch designer Tom Postma especially for the fair, which runs until tomorrow. The 94 world-class specialist dealers from 14 countries, showing museum-quality fine art and antiques, delivered the total “TEFAF experience.”
