Antiques: Portrait, vintage hats, clocks and watches at auction in Carrigtwohill

Singular lots add huge interest to Lynes & Lynes auction 

A portrait of a young lady in a period frame at Lynes & Lynes.

A stylish portrait requiring further research, a 19th-century walnut carved bench with a motto we could all adopt, vintage hats in their original Munster Arcade boxes, a clock carved with the Cork coat of arms and a valuable Patek Philippe wristwatch will contribute to an interesting sale at Lynes & Lynes next Saturday (September 10).

Viewing gets underway in Carrigtwohill today for an auction made up of contents from Ballynoe House, Rushbrooke, Cobh, and from a large Cork city residence, along with items from several individual clients.
