Although the spring sale season is now drawing to a close, Hamilton Osborne King will be holding a furniture and fine art auction in the company's Blackrock rooms next Wednesday afternoon. Brown furniture dominates among the more interesting lots, with one of the highest estimates being given to a set of 12 20th-century Georgian-style dining chairs. This is expected to fetch £1,800-£2,200.

Another piece from this century, an oval mahogany drop-leaf hunt table, carries a presale estimate of £1,000-£1,500.

Other lots include a mid-19th century mahogany sideboard with a mirrored back (£800-£1,000), an early 20th-century mahogany and marquetry-inlaid seven-piece drawingroom suite (£1,000-£1,500), a rosewood-cased Broadwood grand piano (£1,500-£2,000) and a mid-19th century mahogany longcase clock signed Hughes, Dublin (£600-£800). A small selection of pictures of varying periods and quality is spread through the sale. An 18th/19th-century oil on panel showing the Adoration of the Magi, for example, is expected to go for £300-£400, while a collection of five 19th- century Chinese gouaches on rice paper has the lower estimate of £100-£150.

A landscape described as being from "the circle of James Arthur O'Connor" has the relatively modest estimate of £300-£400, but an oil by Charles Vincent Lamb will certainly sell for more than that. Painted in 1926/27 and called A Breakwater in a Storm, with Boats, it is expected to make £600-£1,000. The auction also contains silver and plate, china and porcelain.
