Irish Vernacular
Welcome to our third annual auction of Vernacular furniture and effects. Irish vernacular furniture began emerging out of the rural Irish home in the eighteenth century. Each piece was simple and functional in form, yet unique in design. There is no absence of humour in the approach to furniture making, a distinctly Irish sensibility of not taking ourselves too seriously.
Making use of materials that were affordable and available to the everyday Irish person, it was a non-specialised craft, accessible to those without formal training such as local craftsmen who used traditional techniques and locally sourced materials, including old furniture, and ‘found’ timbers like bogwood or driftwood; it was upcycling in its earliest form, and serves as a reminder of the importance of craftsmanship in Irish culture. These items typify the domestic and functional artistry and joinery of local craftsmen in rural communities, embodying a rich cultural heritage and self-sufficiency.

The Trinity is most commonly seen in visual representations of Christian art as the dove symbolising the Holy Spirit descending from heaven, accompanied by two figures representing God the father and Jesus Christ. In this instance, while the figures adopt the traditional triad format, they have been substituted with three ordinary people from the west of Ireland.
An older man stands with his hat removed in reverence looking off into the distance, a younger woman with her back to us, her hand outstretched in amazement, towards the central figure of the composition, a woman wrapped in a tartan shawl, standing in the position most often associated with Christ. Her arms are outstretched and the palms of the hands facing upwards. The fingers or her right-hand point in a gesture usually representative of a blessing, an intervention of the sacred in the human world. There is a serene expression on her face and a bright light falls on her, as if a divine vision has broken through the clouds. She stands in front a donkey and cart, which immediately calls to mind Mary and Joseph travelling to Bethlehem on the eve of Christ’s birth and his own arrival into the Jerusalem riding on the back of one.
Keating does not provide us with much narrative content and the arrangement of the composition also suggests that more may be occurring beyond the picture plane. The arched canvas is reminiscent of traditional altar pieces, it frames the landscape mirroring the rolling shapes of the hills and fields behind. The trees sway in wind as clouds amass on the horizon suggesting inclement weather to come. The colour palette of red and green is picked up in the dress of both women and repeated in the gate and door frame of the cottage. He has captured perfectly the chalky, whitewashed walls of the west of Ireland houses.
Throughout his career Keating painted religious works, often for specific commissions in churches. He was not a stranger to the language and mythology of the genre. It makes this work quite interesting to witness his mixing of the two styles of which he was so adept. It is not a straightforward image, as was common of Keating’s work, he enjoyed employing allegory and symbolism that moved beyond a linear narrative format. In works such as this and in his well-known history paintings, he was commenting not only on contemporary times but also on the greater arc of traditions that had formed Irish society. In many ways Keating became the official artist of the Irish Free state helping to shape, in visual terms, the new identity of an independent Ireland.

Harnen stands, characterized by their diverse patterns, were fixtures next to open peat fires in rural dwellings. Their function was to gradually dry oatcakes instead of baking them. The customary method involved hanging the bread loaf in a baker over the fire for baking. After baking, it was then moved to the harnen stand, strategically placed in front of the fire to enrich its crust. Irish oatcakes have a long history in Ireland, dating back to the time when oats were a staple crop in the country. Over time, with changes in agricultural practices and dietary preferences, potatoes eventually supplanted oats as the primary staple crop in Ireland. Crafted mainly from iron and predominantly employed in the 18th century, particularly across the Ulster region, these stands played a crucial role in traditional baking practices.
