A comtoise clock at Woodward's next Saturday.

Antique furniture and unusual collectibles will feature at Woodwards sale in Cork on this day week. 

A lifesize metal figure of St Patrick at Woodward's.

On offer are contents from Carrigrhu House, a period piece overlooking Cuskinny. Among the lots from here is a lifesize metal figure of St. Patrick which is more than six feet tall. It is estimated at €1,000-€1,500.

The owners acquired this remarkable piece from the late Donal O'Regan, whose antique and arts shops first on Lavitts Quay and then at Fenns Quay in Cork were a mecca for collectors from right around the country. 

There is a French comtoise or longcase clock dating to around 1850. This is by Abbal Fils at St Pierre-des-Cas and estimated at €2,000-€3,000. 

This is one of two period-house contents sales that Woodward's plans to conduct in September. 

A sale of contents from Millboro House, Lee Road is planned for September 25.
