Delaney (whose works dot the Luggala landscape), Patrick Swift, Anthony Palliser, Barrie Cooke, Sonja Landweer and Camille Souter came to this valley to see their friend Garech a Brun.

He was also familiar, in London, with an important group of artists, including Lucien Freud and Francis Bacon. Garech states that Freud taught him to ‘use his eyes’ when he was a young man and the success of this tutelage is evident in the judiciously high quality of the Luggala collections. Although he could not get his old friend, Francis Bacon, to return to Ireland, Browne was Instrumental in persuading John Edwards, Bacon’s heir, to donate to Ireland the extraordinary studio, which now graces the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery in Dublin.

The eclectic mix of guests to the estate has included the musicians Leo Rowsome, Maire Aine Ni Dhonnchadha, Dolly McMahon, Tommy Potts, Liam O ’Flynn, Sean Garvey and Ronan Browne; the cooks Monica Sheridan, Theodora Fitzgibbon and Clarissa Dickson-Wright and the architects Michael Scott, Raymond McGrath and Sir Clough Williams-Ellis (the designer of the village of Portmeirion, where the cult television series ‘The Prisoner’ was filmed).

Part of Garech Browne’s life is associated with India and its culture and representative of that facet of his interests is a superb Anglo-Indian cabinet from Vizagapatam. Brought back to Ireland by General Sir Eyre Coote, it was acquired from a member of another family long associated with the commercial, life of Dublin, a Jameson.

Luggala and its collections represent two of the greatest periods in Irish culture, the eighteenth and the twentieth centuries.

Exceptional pieces from one period harmonize successfully with outstanding pieces from the other. This juxtaposition is a fitting reminder of Luggala’s standing as one of the most important locations of Irish culture in the second half of the twentieth century.

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 -1 8 8 0 ).

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.

The Gift of the CORPORATION of SADLERS UPHOLDERS COACH=MAKERS etc of the City of DUBLIN To the Right Honble. LD. LIFFORD LORD CHANCELLOR OF IRELAND Together with his FREEDOM, As a Token of his MERIT for the Great Inclination he has Shewn To Promote the TRADE & INTEREST OF THIS KINGDOM And for the Particular Attention to this CORPORATION Oct. 1st 17 70 ROBt WALPOLE) DUDy HERRICK) Master Wardens GABI WHISTELER) The recipient of this freedom box was James Hewitt, 1st Viscount Lifford (c. 1709-1789). The son of a Coventry draper, he Rose through the rancks of the legal profession to become Lord Chancellor of Ireland in 1767. A Barony followed in 17 6 8 and a Viscountcy thirteen years later. During his career his amassed a fortune of some £ 1 2 0 ,0 0 0 although, after his death, his children pleaded poverty and claimed that the sum was only a mere £ 4 ,0 0 0 . The records of the Court of Chancery dism issed this statem ent as ‘a gross untruth’ . He was variously, described as 'at all tim es affecting popularity....fear was the prudence of his life, caution his shield and tem per his fort.’ Lord Clonmell remembered Lord Lifford as saying ‘never give offence to any man; he will have power to resent it.’ After his death, 'upwards of 100 cases’ were waiting to be heard owing to 'the indolence of Lord Lifford, who in the last two years has only given two decrees.’ He died in Dublin of ‘a malignant sore throat.’ The title continues today.

(1) € 1 5 ,0 0 0 /2 5 ,0 0 0 SEE ILLUSTRATION For a discussion on marquetry inlay on Irish furniture, see the Knight of Glen, “The Marquetry Description of Early 18th Century Irish Furniture”, Irish Arts Review, vol. 1 3 . The survival of this cabinet is of the utmost significance. Illustrated in Sadleir and Dickenson’s Georgian Mansions in Ireland (1 9 1 5 ) is a cabinet, now untraced, probably lost in the wanton destruction of Desart Court (plate XLIV) described as “English and Dutch”. The doors of which are patently by the same craftsman as the present lot. General Browne’s discovery of this piece and the Knight’s researches have ensured that an interesting facet of Irish craft has been recovered.

Painted in 1 9 1 2 , titled, various exhibition labels on verso, including a Hugh Lane, Municipal Gallery of of Modern Art, Exhibition “Yeats at Municipal Gallery,” Register No: 4 7 .

'The Dawson Gallery frame and the Dawson Gallery Exhibition label.' Also titled “In a Dublin Waxworks”. (1)

Yeats was at the Dublin Waxworks in Henry Street in 1 9 0 5 , when he sketched ‘Marcus Antony who was assassinated in Rome in the year AD77 by his friends’.

‘Thousands have been heard to say he must be alive’ {sketchbook 1 0 6 [52]). The oil shows a Dublin urchin looking into the coffin with fascination at the figure with a dagger stuck into his breast.

In April 1 9 1 4 , shortly before the waxwork show was destroyed by fire, Yeats published in A Broadside a drawing of the waxwork representation of the death of Lord Edward Fitzgerald, again viewed with wonder by a small boy.

Four days a fte r his d e fe a t a t the Battle o f W aterloo (June 1 8 th , 1 8 1 5 ), Napoleon a b dicated fo r a second tim e and his son was p roclaim ed Emperor o f th e French as Napoleon II. The child reigned (in Paris a t least) fo r two weeks from June 2 2 n d until July 7th, 1 8 1 5 , when King Louis XVIII re-entered Paris. However, th is b rief te n ure on th e throne was in name only as his m oth e r had taken him o u t o f France in 1 8 1 4 and refused during her h u s b a n d ’s second reign (2 0 th o f March - 2 8 th o f June, 1 8 1 5 , which is known to history as th e ‘ Hundred Days’ ) to allow the boy to rejoin his father.

Provenance; Talleyrand.

Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord, Prince of Beneventc (February 2, 1754 - May 17, 1838). Although a non-believei he was, due to the influence of his father and family, appointed Bishop of Autun in 1789. Excommunicated by the Pope for his support of the French Revolution, he left Paris for London at the start of the Reign of Terror in September 1792. Two years later he settled in the United States where he stayed until his return to France in 1796.

Although he supported Napoleon, whose Foreign Minister he became in 1799, he did not always agree with that great man’s policies and resigned his Office in 1807. Thereafter he worked actively against the Emperor’s ambitions, although his treachery was not uncovered in time. After Napoleon’s defeat he represented the restored Bourbon Monarchy at the Congress of Vienna, which had been convened by the Great Powers to settle the affairs of Europe. Napoleon once claimed that he could “ break him like a glass, but it is not worth the trouble” and, famously, that Talleyrand was “ shit in a silk stocking.” Talleyrand’s retort, after his master had stormed out of the room, was “ Pity that so great a man should have been so badly brought up!” His residence in Paris is now the Embassy of the United States of America. € 2 0 0 /3 0 0

Provenance: Major General Sir Eyre Coote, 6th son of Rev. Chidley Coote and Jane Evans, sister to Lord Carbery, of Ash Hill, Co. Limerick, a cadet branch of the Cootes premier baronets of Ireland and Earls of Mountrath, eventually of Ballyfin, Co. Laois.

A fiery soldier, he helped suppress Bonnie Prince Charlie's uprising in Scotland in 1 7 4 5 and then went to India. His prompt action ensured the victory at Plassey (June 1 7 5 7 ) and given overall command he inflicted a series of crushing defeats over the French General Lally.

Returning to Europe, well rewarded, he became an M.P and bought an estate in Hampshire.

Following Hydra All’s revolt at Madras he was sent back to deal with the situation. Having visited Hydra AN he died in Madras in 1 7 8 3 . His heir was his nephew, also General Sir Eyre Coote, who led the assault on Alexandria and took the surrender of Napoleon’s army in Egypt. € 6 0 ,0 0 0 /1 0 0 ,0 0 0
