This is a unique example of this rare brand of Irish furniture. The centre doors conceal four well fitted drawers, themselves flanked by turned and carved columns with shamrocks in relief, mid Victorian. Auctioneers Note: The Irish State has gone to great trouble to secure a collection of notable Killarney wood furniture at Muckross House in Killarney. The writer having on occasions inspected this furniture is of the belief that this piece equals and maybe surpasses any piece within the collection of the State at Muckross and had no hesitation in coming to the conclusion that its estimate of €22'000 - €30'000 is both justified and reasonable. €22000~30000

668. A mahogany silver table in the Irish 18th century style, the shaped frieze with carved shell motif over carved cabriole legs bearing a stamp Mack & Gibton, Dublin, late Edwardian. Auctioneers Note: The partnership of the well known Mack Williams & Gibtons was established in the second and third decades of the 19th century, therefore the stamps on this table would have been of a period before Williams joined the firm, however the table bears no correspondence to that date and one must be highly suspicious of the originality of the stamping that this table bears, therefore for whatever reason this early stamp bears no relevance to the age of this particular table.. €1600~1900
