Lot Essay

Brynkinalt, Clwyd, the ancient family seat of the Trevor family, was built in 1612 by Sir Edward Trevor. Two centuries later the house was aggrandised by Arthur-Hill Trevor, 2nd Viscount Dungannon, and in 1926 and again in 1952 returned almost to its original appearance. The 2nd Viscount Dungannon (d. 1837) was a keen collector of French furniture, perhaps inspired by his first cousin and near contemporary the 'Iron' Duke of Wellington. Part of Viscount Dungannon's collection of French furniture was sold by his descendant, The Lord Trevor in these Rooms, 14 April 1983, lots 93-98.
