Outstanding display case of Irish gamebirds for sale!

Large display case containing various Irish gamebirds.

I’m not sure of its age but the elaborate mounting would suggest that it could be Victorian.

I am advertising it here on behalf of a subscriber to the site and bona fide offers in the region of €250 should be sent to me at collectireland@gmail.com and I will forward them.  Hurry, as this is a rare opportunity to acquire a quality taxidermy display at a very competitive price!

Dublin Book Fair – October 6th & 7th , 2012

Sorry for the late listing of this Fair – I only read about it in today’s paper! Not my fault if the organisers can’t be bothered to do a rudimentary internet search to see where they could list.

AUCTION OF IRISH PAINTINGS

287 Lots including works by William Percy French, James Humbert Craig, Maurice Canning Wilks, Gregory Moore, Kenneth Webb and Wycliffe Egginton. Plenty of value and much to choose from – time to purchase an early Christmas present? Star of the sale, for me anyway, is Lot.33. “The Ben Crom Reservoir, Upper Silent Valley” an oil on canvas by Maurice Canning Wilks which carries a paltry reserve of £1,000 – £1,500! An iconic painting which perfectly captures the meeting of the industrial revolution with nature or it could just be a picture of a dam in the mountains. Either way, it’s a steal at that price.

Lot.33. “The Ben Crom Reservoir, Upper Silent Valley” oil on canvas by Maurice Canning Wilks. Est. £1,000 – £1,500
