THIS WAS PURCHASED FROM AN ESTATE SALE IN SOUTHERN IRELAND, AND WAS ORIGINALLY IN THE DRAWING ROOM OF KNOCKLOFTY HOUSE

This beautiful period piece was purchased from an estate sale at Knocklofty House in Southern Ireland, Lord and Lady Donoughmore became household names in 1974 when they were kidnapped from Knocklofty House by an IRA gang and held captive for four days in an attempt to influence the British policy in relation to the Northern Irish hunger strikes before being released 4 days later in Phoenix Park. Not surprisingly, the family sold up and Knocklofty slipped back into anonymity but many items of furniture remained in situ at the mansion. 

This superb early 18th Century heavily carved Oak Mule Chest bears the initials 'T' and 'P' to the front left and right panels whilst the centre panel depicts a heraldic Lion.

Two lower drawers both of which have their original brass escutcheons, locks and brass handles and a carved mask in between. 

Typical wear to the underside of the drawers as you would expect with the age of this piece of furniture. 

Pine chamfered backed panel, fantastic quality strong 'Braked hinges', original steel lock and brass escutcheon to the centre front. 

(No key, usual age splits/joins)

In all a good solid piece of genuine period furniture.

Please enquire in regards to delivery which will be by a two man white glove team* subject to agreement on area.
