IRISH furniture, silver and glass with an old family provenance will feature at the Lynes and Lynes sale in Carrigtwohill, Co Cork, on this day fortnight (April 20). The auction will feature lots from the estate of Roma Peare (nee Knox) of Kinsale and Tipperary, who died last year.

The Tipperary connection relates to the Knox family of Brittas Castle, Thurles, and Parkville, Clonmel. The family owned Brittas from 1853. A total of 64 acres of land at Parkville changed hands last month for €2.45m. It was bought by Coolmore.
