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

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
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

Westport House, my first visit.
"Westport House in Westport, County Mayo, Ireland, is a country house, historically the family seat of the Marquess of Sligo and the Brownes and designed by notable eighteenth century architects Richard Cassels, Thomas Ivory and James Wyatt." -wiki

At beautiful Westport House I came upon this striking statue and learned a new tale…Grace O’Malley aka Gráinne Ní Mháille is one of the most famous pirates of all time. Stories of her bravery and strength have been told over four centuries. Sassy from the start, at age 11 Grace was annoyed when her father refused to take her on an expedition to Spain, saying her flowing red locks would catch in the ship’s rigging. So she simply cut off her hair and earned the nickname ‘Gráinne Mhaol’ (from the Irish word ‘maol’, meaning bald or having cropped hair). From there she forged a career in seafaring and piracy and was considered a fierce leader at sea and on land. Grace successfully defended the independence of her territories at a time when much of Ireland fell under the English rule and is still considered today ‘the pirate queen of Ireland.’ Her 14th great-granddaughters own the beautiful Westport House on the site of one of Graces castles. #westporthouse #westportmayo #westportireland #graceomalley #thepiratequeen #piratetales #irishlegends #womanpower
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.

Known as Irelands most beautiful home the Westport House is one of the few still privately-owned historic houses left in Ireland, Westport House was built by the Browne family whose connections to Mayo date back to the 1500s.. 💚❤️ just to the right of my picture you can spot the icon Croagh Patrick ⛰️.. #daily_ireland #ireland_gram #irish_daily #photographer #ireland_passion #ireland_through_your_lens #travelmemories #mayo #croaghpatrick #westport #westporthouse #countymayo #historichomes #connaught #westofireland #irelandcalling #westofireland #addicted_to_ireland #amaturephotography #historyinpictures #picoftheweek #westcoastlife #irelandisgreat #raw_ireland #raw_architecture #lifebehindthelens #throughthelens #image #irishblogger #irelandtourism #mayotourism destination_westport westporthouse mayonorth addicted_to_ireland theirishphotographypodcast theirishpost the_irish_experience

Here I contrast a photo of the entrance hall and staircase of Westport House, Co. Mayo with a photo from the 1880`s. The removal of alot of the Victorian heavy decoration belies the changing fortunes of Westport House. In later years, alot of items from this space appeared and sold at auction to help maintain the estate (Photo 09). Another interesting fact to note is, the walls of the entrance hall was once decorated with marble panels, seen in the 1880’s photograph, which were also sold at some point. The majestic Sicilian marble staircase was 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 for visiting guests to do likewise. The metal balustrade was made by Skidmore in Coventry and cost at the time just under £6,000. This space is top lit and sits under a large glass roof at the centre of the roofscape. Still visible today, from the roof, is the mechanism for raising and lowering the chandelier over the staircase (Photo 07) #staircase #westport #westporthouse #mayo #wildatlanticway #stairs #grandstaircase #chandelier #architecture #wildatlanticway #irishcountryhouses #irishcountryhouse #historichouse #countrylife #ireland

Happy Pride Month!
We are really looking forward to a weekend of great festivities of joy, solidarity and fun with mayopride here in Westport starting today, so please make sure to check out their brilliant line-up of events (we`ll be sharing more in Stories today and this weekend).
This card has been designed and printed by Jeanine of Misprinted Mind, our former colleague who is exceptionally talented. It`s a lovely celebration of love or friendship in a stunning rainbow colorway, and we love the details on the hands. It`s perfect to send to someone celebrating Pride Month this June.
As with all her cards, this one is designed to be reusable: it has a blank inner sleeve that`s not attached to the card stock, so the recipient could save your message and regift the card. That is, if they don`t want to frame it to keep forever themselves!
Let’s the celebrations begin!
