This magnificent pair of curved-sided, glazed mahogany cabinets, are an exceptionally rare survivor of grand Irish Regency country house.
The moulded cornices above four glazed doors, with bowed ends, above cabinet bases with central drawers, flanked by bow end cupboards, resting on bracket feet.
The attribution to Ireland’s foremost Regency cabinetmakers, Mack, Williams and Gibton of 39 Stafford Street, Dublin (1810-1829), has been supported by the Irish academic Dr Angela Alexander on first-hand inspection, and is further strengthened by comparison to a closely related single bookcase which appeared at Sotheby’s in 1987, that has subsequently been ascribed to Mack, Williams and Gibton (see Sotheby’s, Important English Furniture, 13 November 1987).
