House to Garden

They say that amateurs discuss tactics, whilst professionals study logistics.

I have come to know the truth of that statement when I first discussed the possibility of this auction with my good friend Dave Keane.

Dave of course is the proprietor/curator/ driving force behind The Store Yard in Portlaoise. Specialists in all things architectural and garden.

The balloon of my happy ignorance of the day to day logistical challenges involved in moving marble statues, fountains and staircases was quickly popped by Dave’s pragmatic understanding of the practicality that would be involved .

Thankfully having pointed out the problems he was just as swift to volunteer a solution, “We can do it together’ Thus, this unique auction has materialised from a kernel of an idea over coffee into the most original auction of its kind ever held in Ireland.

The Store Yard is the perfect venue to view this amazing collection of Garden and architectural antiques and with Dave’s unique knowledge, energy and enthusiasm we have the perfect collaborator.

Located in Portlaoise, The Store Yard is truly a hidden gem for those who are familiar with it. A veritable Aladdin’s cave of everything that catches the educated eye of its very own Ali baba in the form of Dave Keane.

This auction brings together two important private collections of Architectural salvage and garden antiques and combines them with curated items from the collection of The Store yard and Dave Keane.

Within the catalogue you will find a magnificent pair of 18th century carved stone Medici Lions, estimate €50,000-70,000, A pair of 18th century cast lead Sphinxes €20,000-30,000. A Spanish carved pine spiral staircase…..

The staircase from the Dorchester Hotel…… cast iron urns…. Fireplaces, carved door surrounds, bronze and mahogany doors. Carved and plain pine columns. Garden marble statues, brass and bronze door furniture.

The truth is there are too many lots to adequately give you an impression of the scope of this auction, so we have asked all round garden genius Diarmuid Gavin to provide the introduction to the catalogue and pick out some of his favourite lots.

Thankfully every lot is superbly photographed and catalogued and can be viewed online at www.adams.ie

If you can, viewing is at The Store Yard in Portlaoise which is only an hour drive from Dublin or 1.30 from Cork.

I guarantee it will not be a wasted trip. I hope that you will enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed putting it together.

Diarmuid Gavin is an award-winning garden designer and broadcaster known for his distinctive contemporary designs. He studied amenity horticulture at the Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin, Dublin, and established his own garden design business in 1988.

He has since won every award offered by the Royal Horticultural Society at Chelsea including Gold and People’s Favourite for his 2011 Irish Sky Garden.

Diarmuid has worked for all the main broadcasters on both radio and television in the UK and Ireland. For 8 years, his main programme Homefront was broadcast by the BBC and he has also been presenter and garden designer on Art of the Garden, Planet Patio, Diarmuid's Big Adventure, Dirty Old Town, Diarmuid's Pony Kids and Blood of the Irish.

He has competed on Strictly Come Dancing, cooked on Masterchef and Come Dine With Me, ventured to the Arctic Circle in 71 Degrees North and participated in quiz and game shows such as Mastermind, Pointless, The Weakest Link, The Chase and House of Games.

He is the author of 13 books on gardening and garden design including the large scale formats international best sellers Outdoors and Planting with the late Sir Terence Conran.

Diarmuid lectures on garden design around the world and has served as an ambassador for the Prince of Wales Foundation for the Built Environment.

In 2022 the United Nations appointed Diarmuid as an ambassador for their Food and Agriculture Organisation. His particular focus for FAO is plant and soil health, sustainable management of forests, ecosystem pollination and combatting food loss and waste.

In 2023 he was commissioned to create a garden to commemorate the coronation of Britain’s new King. In November 2023 Diarmuid was awarded an Irish Design Institute award for that garden.

2025 sees him fronting a new BBC tv series, Diarmuid Gavin’s Greatest Gardens.

There is a quiet grandeur to objects made for the garden - statues softened by time, urns that have held the weight of trailing roses, sundials once surrounded by lavender and bees.

This exceptional sale from Adam’s brings together a remarkable collection of garden ornamentation spanning the 18th to the 20th centuries. These are pieces steeped in character and craftsmanship: stone gods and goddesses, terracotta urns with timeworn patina, and cast-iron marvels forged with care. Each carries a whisper of the gardens they once adorned, the lives they quietly witnessed, and the changing light of countless seasons.

As a garden designer, I believe that beauty in a garden lies as much in its ornamentation and craft as in its growth - and these pieces offer that rare stillness, anchoring a space in both history and imagination.

I am thrilled to be associated with this sale, not only for the sheer delight of its contents, but because Adams holds a special place in my family story. My grandfather, Michael Gavin, was a deeply knowledgeable member of the Adam’s staff for many years and spoke of the auction house with great reverence. I know he would have loved this catalogue and would have regaled me with stories of the craftsmanship behind each piece.

To see these treasures displayed at The Store Yard, a place I’ve loved for years, feels like a perfect convergence of past and present - a celebration of art, memory, and the enduring charm of the garden

Arthur Morrisson (1765-1837) was appointed Alderman in 1808 and was later Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1835. Initially Arthur was the proprietor of the Mail Coach Tavern in Dawson Street and subsequently a hotel at 28 Frederick Street. He leased no. 1 Dawson Street in 1817 and converted the building into a hotel. Often referred to as ‘Morrisson’s’, but was actually the Leinster Tavern. It was not until after his death in 1840 that the name officially became the renowned Dublin hotel, Morrisson’s. Arthur and his family lived at Lilliput (Riversdale) in Donnybrook. He was responsible for many improvements in the area such as new roads, pathways and assisting in the building of the Anglesea Bridge. The obelisk erected in his memory still stands today.

The presentation was made by Edward Joshua Cooper M.P. (1798-1863) of Markree Castle in Co. Sligo. Edward is best known for his interest in astronomy and the creator of Markree Observatory. The observatory was home to the largest refractor of the early 1830s, which had a 13.3 inch aperture Cauchoix of Paris lens. Notable discoveries include the asteroid 9 Metis in 1848.

Provenance: with Origines - Samuel Roger, France, where acquired

Antoine Durenne (1822-1895) established his cast-iron and bronze foundry at Sommevoire in the Haute-Marne, France, in 1855. He worked with Carrier-Belleuse, Bartholdi and Klagmann on private as well as public commissions. His foundry produced examples of bas-reliefs, fountains, statues, and vases which were exhibited at various exhibitions. He became membre des comits d’admission at the 1878 Paris Exposition Universelle.

Provenance: with Origines - Samuel Roger, France, where acquired

€ 8,000 - 12,000

This magnificent fountain is cast from the model of the iconic Three Graces, daughters of Zeus by the French sculptor Germain Pilon (1528-1590). The original was commissioned by Catherine de Médicis (1519-1589) to house the ashes of her husband King Henri II of France (1519-59). Jean-Jacque Ducel (1801-1877) transformed the model into a fountain probably in the third quarter of the 19th century. The configuration of the original is surmounted by a gilt bronze urn above the heads, whereas the fountain projects a pond on a decorative support. The Ducel foundry was renowned for casting sculptures based on original versions that were held in museums. Ducel was also a retailer, and it is recorded that works were supplied throughout Paris from as early as 1810 in the Pas-de-Calais. At the 1867 Paris Exposition Universelle it was noted by critics that ‘Ducel is the great manufacturer of works in cast-iron, to whom Paris is so largely indebted for the grace and elegance that supply so many of the adornments of its streets’. Ducel sold the factory in 1878 to the Fonderie de la HauteMarne and all the works were bought by the Val d’Osne foundry. The model for this fountain was also used by Antoine Durenne in the late 19th century. A similar fountain made by the Ducel foundry can be found in the town of Chinon, France.

full length with right hand paced on a lyre supported by square plinth base, approximately 177cm high, 70cm square

€ 10,000 - 15,000

Like many sculptors active in England during the 17th and 18th centuries, John van Nost was of foreign origin. A native of Flanders, van Nost was likely drawn to England by its growing wealth and the opportunities for patronage that came with it. His earliest known work in England dates to around 1668, when he was employed at Windsor Castle under the architect Hugh May. From there, van Nost went on to build a successful career, creating church monuments and chimneypieces for aristocratic clients. As the art historian George Vertue observed, van Nost became “a master of reputation and left behind him a good fortune” (quoted in Gunnis, op. cit., p. 279).

A PAIR OF EMPIRE LEAD MODELS OF SPHINX, EARLY 19TH CENTURY, IN THE MANNER OF CLAUDE BALLIN

each wearing a nemes head dress with the front feet stretched over an end scroll, on a rectangular plinth base.

Base 98.5 x 48cm

€ 20,000 - 30,000

The sphinx, an enduring symbol of power, mystery, and vigilance rooted in ancient Egyptian mythology, has captivated the imagination of artists, architects, and collectors across centuries. Its presence in Western art was revitalised through successive waves of Egyptomania, most notably during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, culminating in the widespread adoption of Egyptian motifs across a range of decorative arts.

A pivotal moment in the dissemination of Egyptian imagery occurred in the early nineteenth century with Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign (1798–1801), which gave rise to Dominique Vivant Denon’s ‘Voyage dans la Basse et la Haute Égypte’ (1802). Denon, then Director-General of the Musée Napoléon (now the Louvre), chronicled his observations through richly detailed engravings, introducing a European audience to the visual vocabulary of ancient Egypt. His publication became instrumental in popularising Egyptian architectural and decorative elements in the Neoclassical and Regency periods.

However, interest in Egyptian themes predates this moment. A particularly important early example of Egyptian Revival design is Johann Melchior Dinglinger’s Altar of Apis (1731), the last major work of the court jeweller to Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland. Dinglinger drew his inspiration from Bernard de Montfaucon’s influential ‘L’antiquité expliquée et représentée en figures’ published between 1719 and 1724, a comprehensive compendium of antiquities widely referenced throughout the eighteenth century. Notably, the sphinxes flanking Dinglinger’s Altar of Apis, depicted with female heads and nemes-style headdresses, closely resemble the present lot, both in pose and in iconographic detail.

The Meissen porcelain manufactory also explored Egyptian Revival themes. Sculptor Johann Gottlieb Kirchner created a pair of sphinxes resting on volute-like plinths and wearing tightly fitted bonnets with pleated temple scarves, elements echoed in the current sculpture, further underscoring its stylistic lineage.

In Northern Europe, the integration of sphinxes into garden design was especially prominent. Lukas von Hildebrandt’s Belvedere Gardens in Vienna exemplify this practice, with numerous Rococo sphinxes featuring mannerist interpretations of Egyptian elements such as the nemes headdress. These figures, often depicted with female torsos and lion bodies, were intended not only as decorative features but as symbolic protectors of cultivated space.

The use of lead for garden sculpture became increasingly popular in Britain and Northern Europe from the late seventeenth century onward. Lead ornaments were well suited for the growing demand for its durability, easier cast process as well as they were more cheaply available than bronze, stone or marble. Lead allowed for more fine decorations of figures, urns and architectural ornaments. Foundries such as those operated by John Cheere in London, and later by companies like Coade and Crowther, produced a wide range of lead garden ornaments that combined classical and revivalist themes. The present example follows this tradition, its patina reinforces its intended role as an enduring sculpture intended for a landscape setting.

The design of the present lot, a recumbent lioness-bodied sphinx with breasts and a nemes-style headdress, also recalls the clock mounts attributed to André-Charles Boulle (1642–1732), the master ébéniste of Louis XIV. A notable comparison can be drawn with a Boulle style clock in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Rogers Fund, 58.53a–c), engraved by Pierre-Jean Mariette circa 1707, which features similar figural elements. Boulle’s legacy is closely intertwined with that of Claude Ballin, a distinguished goldsmith and metalworker who also worked in the court of Louis XIV. Among Ballin’s notable works is a series of thirteen bronze garden urns designed for the Parterre du Midi and the Parterre du Nord at the Palace of Versailles. An example of these urns depicts a pair of sphinxes seated atop scallop shell and lion mask handles, a design that was later reproduced in the 19th century, demonstrating the enduring appeal of Ballin’s artistry. An example of this revival is a pair of lead sphinx pattern urns, modelled after Ballin’s originals, which were auctioned by Christie’s in 2002. This highlights Ballin’s exceptional craftsmanship and his lasting influence on garden sculpture, as well as on subsequent generations of artists and artisans.

Although the exact origin of the present lead sculpture is not known, it is likely of later date. Nevertheless, its form and iconography draw directly from the extensive tradition of Egyptian Revival design established in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. From garden ornament to imperial interior, the sphinx was transformed into an emblem of cultivated taste, artistic erudition, and aesthetic grandeur, an enduring legacy which this piece perpetuates.

The Medici Lion, with its striding pose and paw resting upon a sphere, became a widely adopted sculptural type in eighteenth-century Britain and Ireland, particularly within the context of the Palladian revival. The model derives from a Roman marble of the second century AD and a pendant carved in 1598 by the Roman sculptor Flaminio Vacca (1538–1605), commissioned for the Villa Medici in Rome by Ferdinando I de’ Medici (1549–1609), Grand Duke of Tuscany. Installed to flank the villa’s garden staircase and later moved to the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, the pair came to symbolise classical authority, dynastic power, and Renaissance grandeur.

By the mid-18th century, British and Irish sculptors and masons were producing carved stone interpretations for architectural and landscape settings, particularly as gate or terrace ornaments. One of the most refined interpretations of the type was carved by Joseph Wilton (1722–1803) in 1759 for Kedleston Hall, exemplifying the neoclassical interest in classical form, anatomical precision, and sculptural grandeur. Limestone examples of the period, like this pair, embody the same muscular modelling, poised posture, and symbolic composure, qualities that aligned with Enlightenment ideals of reason, restraint, and imperial order.

The four pillars of the portico of Mote Park House, Co. Roscommon are one of the most significant physical remnants of the former glory of the Crofton estate. With the sole exception of the stately Lion Gate which was lovingly restored by the Roscommon Heritage Group in 2016 and reinstated at the entrance of the estate, now a popular walking trail and conservation area. The elegant Ionic pillars were a major part of the house’s refurbishment designed by architect Sir Richard Morrison (1767-1849) in the mid-19th Century. Morrison is recognised of course as one of Ireland’s very best 19th century architects and his mark is visible in both public and private buildings nationwide, including Cashel Cathedral, Botany Bay at Trinity College Dublin, Cangort Park House in Offaly and Kilruddery House in Wicklow to name a few. His work on Mote Park, was typical of his best-known commissions which usually called for a complete remodel of an existing building to compete with the style in Britain and the Continent from where the reigning families drew their inspiration.

The Croftons have been in residence around the Mote region of Roscommon since at least 1579 when John Crofton was appointed Auditor General of Ireland by Queen Elizabeth I. There has been a substantial structure of note on the site of Mote Park House since 1627, when George Crofton constructed a stone building, defensive in nature, for his family to reside in. Over the decades that followed, the demesne expanded to accommodate the requirements of the ruling class. The original structure was replaced by Mote Park House in the late 18th century by Edward Crofton, unfortunately standing only 10 years before its destruction by fire. This was then replaced with a formal stately home with additions by aforementioned architect Sir Richard Morrison in the Neoclassical taste, again destroyed by fire in 1860. Mote rose once more from the ashes under the Crofton family and saw the dawn of the 20th century though it suffered greatly under the Land Acts and the involvement of the Irish Land Commission. The house fell into disrepair when the Crofton family eventually dispersed

in the 1950s and the property was sold. Finally, Mote Park house was demolished by explosives in September 1959 under the Irish land Commission, essentially eliminating at least four hundred years of architectural history from the Roscommon landscape. A detailed account of the Crofton family estate has been excellently detailed by author Paul Connolly in his book on the subject ‘The Landed Estates of County Roscommon’.

The 21st century observer of Mote Park House benefits greatly from the photographs of the late 19th century captured by Augusta Caroline Crofton (1839-1928) a sister of the 3rd Baron Crofton, and later wife of Luke Gerald Dillon of Clonbrock, Galway. Augusta’s photographs, comprising of lantern slides and glass negative were acquired by the National Library of Ireland in 1977 and are now known as The Clonbrock Collection, and acknowledged to be one of the most significant photographic collections in Ireland’s history. This excellent resource clearly depicts the former structure of the photographer’s childhood home Mote Park House, and in particular the portico entrance included in this sale, which appears to have been the main location chosen for portraits of the Crofton dynasty. We note in particular, the striking image of Lord Arthur Edward Lowther Crofton, 4th Baron Crofton (1866-1942) standing leisurely in the portico and reading an issue of The Country Life in 1904. Similarly, a sweet image of a younger Crofton kitted out in a rapier and brimmed hat with his leg bent readily on the base of the pillar in a daring display of bravado. The portico was thankfully salvaged by Fr. Brian Hanley prior to its demolition and placed on display at his own home Kedagh House, Galway, where it then entered the public sphere after his passing in 2012.

When tracing the spotted history of the house itself, it seems implausible that it was resurrected as it was, disaster after disaster. Perhaps it is fitting then that the Neo-Classical portico has resurfaced at market again, an exceptionally rare and recognisable vestige of Ireland’s landed gentry and domestic architectural heritage.

The Garnkirk Fireclay Company, established in 1831 by Mark Sprot (1780–1847) near Glasgow, became one of the leading producers of ornamental fireclay in Victorian Britain and Ireland. Drawing on the region’s high-grade refractory clay, Garnkirk specialised in finely moulded architectural and garden wares, including urns, pedestals, fountains, and statuary. Exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851, its products were noted for their durability, precise modelling, and classical ornament—qualities that aligned with mid-19th-century demand for industrially produced, historically informed design. The company was also awarded a medal at the 1862 International Exhibition, reinforcing its position as a major supplier of neoclassical garden ornament. Garnkirk’s output was widely used across Britain and Ireland in both public and private settings, reflecting the integration of industrial manufacture into mainstream landscape and architectural design.

Liability of Auctioneer and Seller 19. Prior to auction ample opportunity is given for the inspection of the Lots on sale and each buyer by making a bid acknowledges that he has, by exercising and relying on his own judgment, satisfied himself as to the physical condition, age and Catalogue description of each Lot (including but not restricted to whether the Lot is damaged or has been repaired or restored). All Lots are sold with all faults and imperfections and errors of description. None of the seller, the Auctioneer nor any of their employees, servants or agents shall be responsible for any error of description or for the condition or authenticity of any Lot. No warranty whatsoever is given by the seller or Auctioneer or by any of their employees, servants or agents in respect of any Lot and any condition or warranty express, or implied by statute or otherwise is hereby specifically excluded. Forgeries

20. Any amount paid by a buyer in respect of a Lot which, if it is proved within three (3) years of the date of the auction at which it was purchased, to have been a Forgery shall be refunded to the seller subject to the provisions hereof, provided that:

(a) The Lot has been returned by the buyer to the Auctioneer within three (3) years of the date of the auction in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction together with evidence proving that it is a Forgery, the number of the Lot and the date of the auction at which it was purchased;

(b) The Auctioneer is satisfied that the Lot is a Forgery and that the buyer has and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the Lot free from any third party claims;

FURTHER PROVIDED THAT the buyer shall have no rights hereunder if:

(i) The description of the Lot in the Catalogue at the time of the auction was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of such opinion;

(ii) The only method of establishing at the time of the auction in question that the Lot was a Forgery would have been by means of scientific processes which were not generally accepted for use until after the date of the auction or which were unreasonably expensive or impractical.

The buyer’s sole entitlement under this condition is to a refund of the actual amount paid by him in respect of the Lot. Under no circumstances shall the Auctioneer be liable for any damage, loss (including consequential, indirect or economic loss) or expense suffered or incurred by the buyer by reason of the Lot being a Forgery.

The benefit of this condition shall be solely and exclusively for the buyer and shall not be assignable. The buyer shall for the purpose of this condition be the person to whom the original invoice in respect of the sale of the Lot is made.

Photographs

21. The buyer authorises the Auctioneer at any time to make use of any photographs or illustrations of the Lot purchased by the buyer for such purposes as the Auctioneer may require.

22. New VAT Regulations

22a) All lots are sold within the Auctioneer’s VAT margin scheme. Revenue Regulations require that the buyers premium must be invoiced at a rate which is inclusive of VAT. This VAT is not recoverable by any VAT registered buyer.

CONDITIONS WHICH MAINLY CONCERN THE SELLER

Auctioneer’s Discretion

23. With regard to the sale of any Lot the Auctioneer shall have the following powers exercisable solely in the discretion of the Auctioneer:

(i) To decide whether to offer any Lot for sale or not;

(ii) To decide whether a particular Lot is suitable for sale by the Auctioneer and, if so, to determine which auction, the place and date of sale,

the conditions of sale and the manner in which such sale should be conducted;

(iii) To determine the description of any Lot in a Catalogue.

(iv) To decide whether the views of any expert shall be obtained and to submit Lots for examination by any such experts.

(v) To determine what illustration of a Lot (if any) is to be included in the Catalogue.

Seller’s Warranty and Indemnity

24. The seller warrants to the Auctioneer and to the buyer that he is the true owner of the Lot or is legally authorised to sell the Lot on behalf of the true owner and can transfer good and marketable title to the Lot free from any third party claims. As regards Lots not held by the Auctioneer on its premises or under its control the seller warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer and the buyer that the Lot will be available and in a deliverable state on demand by the Auctioneer or buyer. The seller shall indemnify the Auctioneer and the buyer or any of their respective employees, servants or agents against any loss or damage suffered by any of them in consequence of any breach of the above warranties or undertakings by the seller.

Reserves

25. Subject to the Auctioneer’s discretion, the seller shall be entitled prior to the auction to place a reserve on any Lot. All reserves must be agreed in advance by the Auctioneer and entered on the Sale Order Form or subsequently be confirmed in writing to the Auctioneer prior to auction. This also applies to changes in reserves. A reserve may not be placed upon any Lots under €150 in value. The reserve shall be the minimum Hammer Price at which the Lot may be sold by the Auctioneer. A reserve once in place may only be changed with the consent of the Auctioneer. A commission shall be charged on the ‘knock-down’ bid for Lots which fail to reach the reserve price. Such commission shall be 5% of the ‘knock-down’ bid. This commission and any VAT payable thereon must be paid before removal of the Lot after the auction. The minimum commission hereunder shall be €50. The Auctioneer may in its sole discretion sell a Lot at a Hammer Price below the reserve thereon but in such case the Proceeds of Sale to which the seller shall be entitled shall be the same as they would have been had the sale been at the reverse. Unless a reserve has been placed on a Lot in accordance with the provisions set out above such Lot shall be put up for sale without reserve. In the event that any reserve price is not reached at auction then for so long as the Lot remains with the Auctioneer and to the extent that the Lot has not been re-entered in another auction pursuant to condition 31 the seller authorises the Auctioneer to sell the Lot by private treaty at not less than the reserve price. The Auctioneer shall ensure that in such a case those conditions herein which concern mainly the buyer shall, with any necessary modification, apply to such sale.

Commission

26. The Seller shall pay the Auctioneer commission at the rate of 10% on the Hammer Price of all Lots sold on behalf of the seller at Irish Art Sales and 17.5% on all other Sales together with VAT thereon at the applicable rate. Minimum charges are detailed below. The seller authorises the Auctioneer to deduct from the Hammer Price paid by the buyer the Auctioneer’s Commission under this condition; VAT payable at the applicable rates and any other amounts due by the seller to the Auctioneer in whatever capacity howsoever arising. The seller agrees that the Auctioneer may also receive commission from the buyer pursuant to condition 13.

The seller shall pay the Auctioneer a contribution towards such insurance at the rate of 1.5% of the Hammer Price plus VAT. If the seller instructs the Auctioneer not to insure a Lot then the Lot shall at all times remain at the risk of the seller who undertakes to indemnify the Auctioneer and hold the Auctioneer harmless against any and all claims made or proceedings brought against the Auctioneer of whatever nature and howsoever and wheresoever occurring for loss or damage to the Lot. The sum for which a Lot is covered for insurance under this condition shall not constitute and shall not be relied upon by the seller as a representation, warranty or guarantee as to the value of the Lot or that the Lot will, if sold by the

Auctioneer, be sold for such amount. Such insurance shall subsist until such time as the Lot is paid for and collected by the buyer or, in the case of Lots sold which are not paid for or collected by the buyer by the due date hereunder for payment or collection such due date or, in the case of Lots which are not sold, on the expiry of seven (7) days from the date on which the Auctioneer has notified the seller to collect the Lots.
