One bottle of Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1945 from the cellars of Faringdon House, Oxfordshire. Top shoulder, exceptional for a wine this age. This bottle has been stored for over half a century in the cellars at Faringdon. Critic reviews: Michael Broadbent described it as “arguably one of the greatest vintages of the 20th century [producing] long-lasting wines of the highest quality”. Mouton ’45 is so exceptional that Broadbent gave the wine six stars (in a five-star rating system), writing that “There is simply no other wine like it.” Robert Parker wrote of Mouton 1945, “A consistent 100-point wine (only because my point scale stops at that number), the 1945 Mouton Rothschild is truly one of the immortal wines of the century. This wine is easily identifiable because of its remarkably exotic, over-ripe, sweet nose of black fruits, coffee, tobacco, mocha, and Asian spices. An extraordinarily dense, opulent, and rich wine, with layers of creamy fruit, it behaves more like a 1947 Pomerol than a structured, powerful, and tannic 1945. The wine finishes with a 60+ second display of ripe fruit, extract, and sweet tannin. This remarkably youthful wine (only light amber at the edge) is mindboggling! Will it last another 50 years?” Buyers Premium 18% +VAT

George Russell AE (1867-1935)Figures in the DunesOil on canvas, 53 x 80cm (20¾ x 31½'')Signed 'AE'George Russell grew up in Lurgan, Co. Amargh but moved to Dublin at the age of 11. He is known not only for his paintings but as a writer, poet, critic, theosophist and economist, and by his pseudonym ‘AE’ (a derivative of the word Aeon). He began night time painting classes at the Metropolitan School of Art just two years after moving to Dublin, and went on to receive academic training at the RHA. AE supported Hugh Lane’s campaign for the gallery of modern art and was active in the Irish Literary Revival. He exhibited abroad at the 1913 Armory Show in New York and at the Whitechapel in London, and created a large scale series of murals of 3 Upper Ely Place in Dublin which has been compared to the work of Goya. Iberian reviewed George Russell’s first exhibition in 1904 in the Irish Homestead - ‘It is, perhaps, in his treatment of atmospheres that Mr Russells most charming and satisfying effects are produced, and the sense of brooding tranquility and a living peace. [His] use, too, of a solitary figure, or of a few figures wrapped about with silence and the spaces of the air and the hills, is a revelation of the nearness of natural men to the heart of nature itself. (The Irish Homestead, Vol. X, No.35, 27 August 1904). This sense of the magical power of nature and its spiritual and enigmatic character is what defines the best specimens of George Russell’s work. Although he was sometimes criticised for his prolific output, there are many fine examples among his industrious oeuvre.His paintings can be found in the collection of the Ulster Museum, National Gallery of Ireland, Hugh Lane, OPW, Trinity College Dublin and the Crawford Gallery.

Oisín Kelly RHA (1915-1981)Children of LirBronze, 72cm (28.3) high, raised on a circular timber base 46cm (18) diameterEdition 1/2This bronze by Oisín Kelly (1915-81) was cast at the Dublin Art Foundry as one of an issue of two in 1983. It was cast directly from the original plaster maquette under the supervision of his son Fergus. The only other copy is currently on display outside the Taoiseach’s Office in Government Buildings, Dublin. The maquette was the model for the large-scale bronze of the ‘Children of Lir’, which is the centrepiece of the Garden of Remembrance, Parnell Square, a space which was designed by the Dublin City Architect, Daithí Hanly. This was the first of Oisín’s major public commissions, and one for which he devoted a great deal of thought and preparation. In a memo to the office of Public Works, dated 12 May 1959, he suggested that ‘the swan is the generally accepted image of resurgence, triumph and perfection, with undertones of regal sadness and isolation’. He therefore proposed the theme of the changing of the Children of Lir into swans as a representation of the dramatic and painful birth of the Irish State after the 1916 Easter Rising. This theme derives from an early Irish tale which recounts the fate which befell the daughter and three sons of the legendary king Lir. Through the jealous spells of their stepmother they were magically changed into swans: the piece depicts the children in the process of transformation.When Oisín had completed the large-scale plaster model of the group, it was cut into sections and sent to the Ferdinando Marinelli Artistic Foundry in Florence. There it was expertly cast in bronze under the sculptor’s guidance - Oisín paid four visits to the foundry - and finally transported back to Ireland. It was dedicated by An Taoiseach, Jack Lynch, on 6 August 1971.Fergus S. Kelly, son of Oisín Kelly, and author of The Life and Work of Oisín Kelly, with photography by Hugh McElveen (Derreen Books, 2015)
