Sixmilebridge Auction Rooms to close

Aidan Foley who currently operates Auction Rooms in Sixmilebridge, Kilcolgan and Doneraile is preparing to close his Sixmilebridge Rooms, following the sale of the property to a supermarket group.

The former Barron’s Hall holds fond memories for many, having first met during the showband dance era, later married and then furnished their homes through auctions held by the late John Dunphy.

The Final 3 day Auction will take place online on October 2nd, 3rd and 4th. There will be viewing at the Auction Rooms on Friday 29th, Saturday 30th and Sunday 1st October before the auction.

An exciting collection of items are included including an exceptional 19th Century Campaign Bookcase. Campaign Furniture was used by Military Officers while travelling to and living at the front of Battles. It is very rare to see such a Bookcase.

There is local interest in the Art Section including paintings by Paddy Copperwhite, Thomas Ryan, Christy Doran and Tom Greaney. Amongst other Artists represented includes the recently deceased Graham Knuttel, also Michael Hales, John Morris, Matt Lamp, Jimmy Bingham and many others.

The Jewellery Section which is always popular includes an exceptional Diamond Tennis Bracelet, Diamond Rings and lots of Costume Jewellery. Something for everyone.
