The Aesthetic Revival table.
An Aesthetic Revial oak library table from the collection of former President Mary Robinson failed to sell at Sheppards in Durrow today. The table, from Massbrook Lodge in Co. Mayo, had been estimated at 5,000-7,000. By Holland and Sons London it contains an expansive oval tooled leather top above a leaf carved frieze.
Other lots from the Robinson collection, like a Dublin George III hanging hall lantern originally from a doctor’s house on St. Stephen’s Green, easily found buyers. The lantern sold for 1,800 at hammer against and estimate of 1,500-2,500. The sale continues on November 29 with lots fro the collection of the late actress Maureen O’Hara.
