Irish Regency card table returns to Fota House
The Irish Regency card table featured on these pages on July 4 is to return to Fota House.
The rosewood card table, with figured fold over top and satinwood inlay and originally at Fota, was at Fonsie Mealy’s two day sale in Castlecomer last week with an estimate of €1,800-€2,500. It went above the estimate and sold for a hammer price of €2,700. The purchaser was a private Munster-based buyer who plans to give the card table to Fota on a long term loan basis.
