A sum of £6,750 was paid for an exceptionally large mid-Victorian D-end mahogany dining table at Drums in Malahide earlier this month. Both the table and a set of 13 oak chairs, which made £1,850, came from a convent. An antique figured mahogany pedestal sideboard went for £1,500, an Edwardian walnut vitrine cabinet sold for £620, a pair of Napoleon III rosewood bedside cabinets with marble tops went under the hammer for £500 and two sets of French fruitwood bed ends and rails fetched £425 and £400 respectively. Among the paintings, Franz Meanz's The Writer Poet with Quill fetched £700 and J. Dupont's Sunday Afternoon in the Park sold for £575.
