Auctions: A 19th-century mirror, a home bar — and art fit for a pharaoh 

Des O'Sullivan checks out the variety of lots at a two-day auction in Castlecomer

A modern J-shaped home bar and a 19th-century giltwood mirror by RW Clarke, Cork, both at Fonsie Mealy.

Offering everything from a circular giltwood mirror by Clarkes of Cork, an Irish bureau gifted by Winston Churchill and a set of lithographs of Egypt and Nubia to antique pottery from the Della Robia Studio, Birkenhead, a modern home bar and an ebonised Italian dining set Fonsie Mealy's two-day sale in Castlecomer on Wednesday and Thursday is of wide appeal.

More than 700 lots will come under the hammer over two days. The 19th-century bureau (€1,000-€1,500) was, by family tradition, a gift from Churchill to General Sir Bindon Blood.
