TALKS & DISPLAYS

Irish Georgian Furniture and Gilding Talk
Our renowned Antiques expert will illustrate an insight into Irish antique furniture with examples from the different Irish Georgian periods. Through George's demonstration you will see the variety of styles and construction methods and learn how to tell the authentic from the fake. Test your knowledge during a pre-lunch drink with a light-hearted antique's quiz.

After lunch our Gilding and Restoration expert will explain the wonderful history of water and oil gilding through slides and years of experience in this field of work. She demonstrates this spectacular art with examples of her own work using very specialised restoration - everything from overmantels and picture frames to furniture and mirrors.
