Crystal chandeliers to light up the paintings on one’s walls

A selection of Waterford glass at RJ Keighery’s auction next Monday at 10.30am is headed by a 12 branch Powerscourt pattern chandelier with an estimate of €3,800-€5,000.

There are two Waterford five-branch chandeliers with estimates of €900-€1,200, and Waterford wall lights, table lamps and candle holder, as well as reasonably estimated Waterford Crystal bowls, dishes, vases, decanters and glasses. Two 12-branch, cut-glass chandeliers estimated at €1,200-€1,800 are also included. The estimates for everyday antique furniture reflect the current market.

A Georgian inlaid bow- fronted serving table (€150-€250), an Edwardian davenport (€350-€450); a circular rosewood table on pod (€400-€600); a crossbanded sofa table (€400-€600); an inlaid mahogany bow fronted corner cabinet (€150-€250); a Victorian walnut canterbury (€100-€150); and a Wellington chest (€500-€700), are just some examples of the real value to be found at auction.
