AN IRISH GEORGE II MAHOGANY SECRETAIRE CABINET IN THE MANNER OF GILES GRENDEY CIRCA 1740 The shaped mirror panel doors opening to an arrangement of drawers 232cm high, 107cm wide, 55cm deep overall By repute, The Barony of Inchiquin, County Clare, Ireland. Padraig Lucius Ambrose O'Brien, 17th Baron Inchiquin, The O'Brien, Chief of the Name, Prince of Thornand, (1900-1982) married Miss Allen heiress to Moor Park, Ludlow, Shropshire. After the family estate was dispersed in 1950, Lady Inchiquin moved to a house in the hamlet of Betchcott, one part of the estate, where she died in 2012. This cabinet reputedly formed part of Lady Inchiquin's estate having been passed down in Lord Inchiquin's family. The O'Brien Chiefs were once the last Kings of Ireland centuries ago. On the Act of Union 1805 whereby the Irish House of Commons and Irish House of Lords gave up governing Ireland in favor of Great Britain, all ancient Irish titles were abolished. The O'Briens retained the title Baron Inchiquin because it was given by the King of England and therefor an English title and not and Irish one.
