antiques in kinsale...

kinsale is a quant little fishing village about 20 miles south of cork...we spent an afternoon here in kinsale and we stumbled across a little antique shop...

i noticed a very cool armchair, but what was special about this chair was the fringing to the base...very elaborate, it had to come from an old manor or estate...

i came across a fantastic mirror / vanity unit....and a very unique clock with what has to be the worlds biggest pendulum...

this store also had a massive dresser which looked like it was custom built for purpose....although we were told not for this store...i wonder what it was used for or where it did come from...

Wouldn't the blue chest in the window look fabulous and interesting in a very contemporary kitchen?! Love it!
