A lifesize metal figure of St. Patrick which is more than six feet tall will feature among the antique furniture and collectibles at Woodwards online sale in Cork on September 4. On offer are contents from Carrigrhu House, a period piece overlooking Cuskinny in Cork Harbour. The St. Patrick figure is estimated at €1,000-€1,500. It was acquired from the late Donal O’Regan, whose antique and arts shops first on Lavitts Quay and then at Fenns Quay in Cork were a mecca for collectors from right around the country. A French comtoise or longcase clock by Abbal Fils at St. Pierre-des-Cas dates to around 1850. It is estimated at €2,000-€3,000. This is one of two period house contents sales that Woodwards plan to conduct in September. A sale of contents from Millboro House, Lee Road is planned for September 25.
