Stained glass work by Harry Clarke carries African history

By Des O’Sullivan says there is a much to choose from at the Chatsworth Fine Art sale where 750 lots are on offer. 

A large nine- panelled rose window with an image of St Patrick from the Harry Clarke studio is one of the more unusual lots at the Chatsworth Fine Art sale at Fonsie Mealy Auctioneers in Castlecomer next Tuesday at 10.30 am.

The window was commissioned for a seminary at Enugu, Nigeria in the mid-1960’s but delivery was halted by the Biafran War. It is estimated at €1,000-€1,500.
