Lot 236
An exceptionally fine pair of carved oak armorial Hall Chairs, Irish, Victorian period, each crested with a grotesque mask issuing leafy scrolls, above an oval with carved crest (see below for note), with scroll shell supports above a shaped solid seat on front cabriole legs, each carved with a grotesque mask, and C scroll terminating in lion paw feet, the rear legs of square tapering form with ball n claw feet. (2) ** The crest on these chairs is that of More O'Ferrall (a greyhound springing sable, possibly for the Rt. Hon. Sir Richard More O'Ferrall 1797 - 1880), a friend and supporter of Daniel O'Connell. He became, in 1835, under the administration of Lord Melbourne, Lord of the Treasury, First Secretary of the Admiralty and in 1841 Secretary to the Treasury. He was the first civilian Governor of Malta, from 1847 until 1851, when he resigned because he would not serve under the Prime Minister, Lord John Russell, who had championed the Ecclesiastical Titles Act of 1851 in opposition to the Papal Bill of 1850 to restore a Catholic hierarchy in England.
