拍品专文

The romantic Gothic castle at Luttrelstown is one of the finest demesnes in Ireland. The house and estate was bought by Ernest Guinness for his daughter Aileen Plunket, and from the 1950s, along with the inspired decorating skills of Felix Harbord, she transformed its interiors. She and Harbord bought many pieces from Country House sales and the present lot is thought to have come from Wilton House, Salisbury, seat of the Earls of Pembroke.
