A SET OF TEN GRAINED ROSEWOOD DINING
CHAIRS,
C.1825, including a pair of armchairs, each with anthemion-scroll toprail
with brass bosses, drop-in seats and sabre legs, the
armchairs with scroll supports.
One of the chairs in this set is stamped J.P. Lynch, Limerick.
Joseph Lynch was a cabinet-maker and joiner who also worked as a furni-
ture dealer. In Limerick trade directories he is recorded as Michael Street
from 1906, but by 1914 had moved to the Columcille Factory on Bedford
Row. His stamp would indicate that the present chairs passed through his
workshop and might have been restored or even sold by him in this early
part of this century
Provenance: Sotheby’s Irish Sale 2/9/1995 sold for £13,000
