ESTATE OF THE LATE PHILIP MURPHY This catalogue presents the collection of the late Philip Murphy.

Originally from West Cork and long based in Dublin, Philip worked in the legal profession and maintained a broad range of personal and cultural interests throughout his life.

He was a keen collector, particularly drawn to antique clocks, silver boxes, and oriental art, and assembled a collection that reflects both curiosity and care. Philip also had a lifelong interest in the arts and maintained a fascination with Spanish culture and history, which is reflected in several pieces in the sale.

Together with his wife Constance, he was an active member of the Royal Terrace West Residents Association, contributing to the preservation of the architectural character of this historic street. Though he lived in the city, he remained connected to the countryside of his West Cork upbringing.

The son of former government minister T.J. Murphy, Philip’s interests were wide-ranging and his collections thoughtfully acquired. We are pleased to offer this selection to collectors and buyers, each item offering insight into a life lived with genuine engagement and appreciation for the decorative and historic arts.
