Bantry House contents to woo foreign buyers

INTERNATIONAL interest in the October auction of contents from Bantry House will centre on tapestries, icons and furniture.

Irish buyers will have to dig deep into their pockets to compete with the international market for the rarities on offer.

Gobelins and Aubusson tapestries will be the focus during the on-the-premises sale at Bantry House next October 21, with viewing from October 17.
