Our Objects of the Day are two items you might be surprised to find in our collection ... two fabulous ostrich feather hats (➡️) which once belonged to Lady Alice Evelyn Mahon (née Browne), the mother of renowned art historian Sir Denis Mahon.
Lady Alice (1877-1970) grew up in Mayo, at Westport House. She was the daughter of Henry Ulick Browne, 5th Marquess of Sligo. She married John Fitzgerald Mahon in 1898, and the couple had their only child, Denis, in London in 1910; Denis went on to become one of the leading scholars and collectors of Italian Baroque art of his generation, and he was instrumental in the authentication of Caravaggio's The Taking of Christ here at the National Gallery of Ireland in the early nineties.
Lady Alice purchased these two plumed hats in London, from the luxury department store Harvey Nichols. Her taste in hats was true to the fashion of the period, when hats were particularly large, with brims often reaching past the wearer’s shoulders. Hatpins, which sometimes measured over a foot in length, were used to keep the pieces secure - one of the photographs here shows Lady Alice wearing a similar plumed hat. Such hats became less fashionable during the First World War when smaller and plainer hats became increasingly popular.
These hats, as well as lots more fascinating objects including war memorabilia, antique furniture, and family photograph albums, form part of the Sir Denis Mahon collection and family archive which Sir Denis generously gifted to the National Gallery of Ireland in 2010, alongside his extensive library.

The majestic Sicilian marble staircase found in Westport House, Co. Mayo. Made by Italian workmen and imported by the 3rd Marquess of Sligo in 1858. It features the mythological Angel of Welcome as a centrepiece, it was a family tradition to shake the angel’s hand upon returning from trips or visiting. The metal balustrade was made by Skidmore in Coventry and cost at the time just under £6,000. #staircase #westport #westporthouse #mayo #wildatlanticway #stairs #grandstaircase #chandelier #architecture #wildatlanticway #irishcountryhouses #irishcountryhouse #historichouse #countrylife #ireland
{A Copywriter's Lost Dream} Non è facile andare avanti quando i tuoi sogni fanno a pugni con la realtà. Da bambina sognavo di diventare una scrittrice: le mie storie avrebbero strappato un sorriso, fatto commuovere, asciugato una lacrima. Era solo questione di tempo. Non ho mai pensato che fosse una questione di: talento, carisma, culo (banalmente).
Oggi tutti i giorni mi scontro con una realtà diversa. Vivo di scrittura, sì: per 8 o 9 ore della mia giornata siedo alla scrivania, provocando valanghe di copy e articoletti di cui ricopro l'Internet.
Il mio sogno è prostituzione che paga le bollette.
So che molti, al posto mio, si riterrebbero fortunati. Sono arrivata così vicina a fare quello che volevo. È in quel 'quasi' che sta tutta la sofferenza.

Westport House, Co. Mayo - What a difference a year or so makes - Essential emergency repair works have commenced at Westport House. The works are to stop the ingress of water into the building as it is causing significant damage to the historic house. The house developed over generations with contributions by architects Richard Cassels, Thomas Ivory & James Wyatt. Here is the west facade or garden front with terraces designed by William Henry Romaine-Walker in the early 20th century. #westporthouse

Sheelyn Browne in The Irish Times speaking about the sale of her former family ancestral home in 2017. A link to the article is featured on my stories. The efforts to keep the rain out of this historic home and to allow it to remain in the Browne Family exhausted many fortunes over the centuries. Financial pressures eventually led to the decision of the Brownes to end their tenure of the property after nearly 300 years and entrust it into the hands of the local Hughes family, once tenants of the estate in generations past. Despite eventually becoming one of the most visited tourist sites in Mayo, many works of art and pieces of furniture were sold over the years to try and preserve the architectural legacy of the Browne family. It was now clearly evident in the 20th century that the wealth of previous generations was gone which had once sustained a property such as this. Efforts made to make the estate and house self-sustaining, while preserving it intact, resulted in deeper and deeper debt. The Browne family reluctantly agreed to sell the estate following an accumulation of debt that amounted to millions of euro, borrowed to develop the estate. Westport House and Estate appeared on the market in 2016, with an asking price of €10 million, the county of Mayo held its breath. There was now a distinct possibility that the house could be sold to some reclusive billionaire who would shut the gates of this much-loved piece of our county’s heritage. Luckily for the people of Mayo, the philanthropic spirit of the local Hughes family is matched by their entrepreneurial and business acumen. Today Westport House is beginning to emerge from scaffolding following Phase 01 of an intensive restoration of the fabric of the building.

Another visit to beautiful Westport House yesterday, including an excellent tour by curator Catherine, full of detail, context and insight.
I had not been inside the house for many, many years.
It was a joy to see the long, deep blue picture gallery again, with its ancestor portraits; and the fabulous dining room, created around the 1780s by the famous James Wyatt.
The bedrooms and so forth upstairs are- inevitably- more personal.
Is there anything more poignant than an abandoned, albeit beautiful, old children’s nursery, with its once-loved dollhouse and teddy bear left behind?
Wonderful visit though, and so heartening to hear of all the vital repairs already carried out on the house; and all the plans for future work and investment, including restoring long-lost pasts of the gardens and bringing them back to life.
So good to see.

🎨 Portrait of #UlickdeBurghBrowne, 7th #MarquessofSligo (1898-1941) by #PhilipdeLaszlo, 1917 (Sotheby's);
A keen horseman he served in World War I as part of the Royal Scots Greys (2nd Dragoons) and was awarded the Military Cross. In the 1920s he took over the administration of the family estates. During the World War II he established a first aid station, with three wards, at #WestportHouse, and provided a fully equiped fire engine and an ambulance for use in the district. He never married.
This weekend, I will publish my latest blog post about my return visit to see the restoration works westporthouse in Co. Mayo. One year on from my previous visit, I will document the completed works, those ongoing and what the future holds for the estate. This will be followed by a week of Instagram posts focusing in detail on various elements of the project with multiple photographs. #irishcountryhouses #irishcountryhouse #historichouse #countryhouse #westport #westporthouse #mayo #ireland #heritage #history #restoration #renovation

Claremount found near Claremorris in Co. Mayo is a diamond in the rough. Shown here is a sketch dating from 1854 with its original roof line which is much alteted today. Built in the 18th century, this house was the home of George Browne, third son of the 1st Earl of Altamont, in the 1760s. His daughter and heiress married Dominick Browne of Castlemagarret and ownership of Claremount appears to have passed to the Browne family. The Kirwans and Denis Browne of Westport lived in the house in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It was bought by Murray McGregor Blacker from Lord Oranmore and Browne in 1858 for £4,250. Blacker owned the house until 1874. In 1877 the house and about 313 acres were sold to the local parish priest by Thomas D. Maguire for the purpose of establishing a Convent of Mercy. The nuns ran a girls' secondary school in the house. In October 1906 just over 300 acres of Claremount was vested in the Congested Districts' Board. Now derelict, it is looking for someone to save this architecturally austere house. #mayo #claremorris #claremount #irishtourisim #irishcountryhouse #restoration #abandoned #ruins #architecture #browne #westporthouse #convent #ireland #eire #history #derelict #restoration #renovation
