A very large and fine Persian Keshan carpet very finely knotted and detailed with figures, stylised building, animals and further stylised designs etc., against a multi coloured ground with red border (signed), 3.8m x 3m CONDITION REPORT: Overall the carpet appears in good reasonable condition as it is laid out it is very slightly misshapen as you are looking at it from the front the carpet tends to come out to the left hand border at the top and is slightly out from a perfect rectangle. Some of the end tassels are away and at the top left there is a 5/6cm section which has discoloured pink. The carpet has come privately and as such has been in such. Because of the multi-coloured nature of it with the various stylised repeating patterns it is difficult to see whether there is any “real” discolouration. The carpet looks in fairly good order with some wear noted. The central section has a stylised blue triangle with red spots on it on the top right hand side of this there is a small 2cm hole which appears to have been repaired at some stage. There are other small areas of wear but generally appears to be in good general order. The pile is very thick and the carpet is very heavy requiring 2/3 people to lift it. Being super critical the left hand vertical border (slightly misshapen) appears to be darker in colour that the other three borders although the right hand border at the bottom is also quite dark. The carpet appears quite dirty from the underside.

AN IRISH GEORGE III MAHOGANY BREAKFRONT BOOKCASE, part of the original furnishings of Ely House, Dublin, the dentil moulded cornice above a four door bookcase, decorated with Gothic lancet glazing bars above fielded cupboard door base. 282cm high, 346cm wide Provenance: Collection of Fine Art Property of Dr. Thornley Stoker, Ely House, 8 Ely Place, Dublin, 8th November, 1910, lot 863 This handsome Chippendale pattern mahogany bookcase was lot 863 in one of the most spectacular house contents auctions Dublin has ever seen. Taking place in November 1910, it was that of Dr. Thornley Stoker whose fierce reputation has faded, but that of his brother Bram has only gone stratospheric thanks to his creation, “Dracula”. The sale of over 1600 lots represented a life-time of collecting. George Moore leaves a description of Sir Thornley hopping about the antique dealers in Grafton Street ‘Like an old magpie’ prying out spoons and forks. Moore, unsuccessfully, tries to persuade the grumpy old doctor to back Hugh Lanes project for a Modern Art Gallery in Dublin. Moore, a neighbour frequently visits Dr Stoker and well knows his fine collection housed in his palazzo, Ely House, but can’t resist retelling Dublin cynicism as to its genesis. “Up and down Liffey Street, lately, on the trail of a Sheraton sideboard and Naylor has been asked to keep it till an appendices should turn up; the Chinese Chippendale mirror over the drawing-room chimney piece originated in an unsuccessful operation for cancer; the Aubusson carpet in the back-drawing room represents a hernia; the Renaissance bronze on the landing a set of gall-stones; the Ming Cloisonné a floating kidney; the Buhl cabinet his opinion on an enlarged liver; and Lady Stokers jewels a series of small operations performed over a number of years”. Moore declares the collection will never be sold in his lifetime but on his death, there will be a great auction. This bookcase, filled with part of Dr. Stoker’s china collection is given a full-page illustration and is described as ‘Chippendale’. A bookcase of similar design, with the addition of a broken triangular pediment, c.1766, is illustrated in Gilbert, ‘The Life and Works of Thomas Chippendale’ (1978), p.41
