Clock and pewter collections to shine at Castlecomer sale

Des O’Sullivan reports on significant collections amassed by two Munster collectors at Mealy’s latest auction.

A skeleton clock, pewter, an early depiction of Waterford city and a set of 17 mahogany dining chairs from Cork Chamber of Commerce will all feature at Mealy’s Spring Fine Art sale in Castlecomer, Co Kilkenny next Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Mealy’s auction includes one of Ireland’s largest private collections of clocks and timepieces and the pewter collection of the late Geoffrey O’Connor of Co Kerry.
