Mealy’s : Mount Congreve - The House Sale
V.O. NPR Radio announcer
0.08 We are following other stories around the world this morning, including this one from Ireland, where because of the eurozone crisis, many people don’t trust the banks anymore.
0.18 They’d rather put their money, if they still have some, in art or antiques and they had an opportunity to do just that when an Irish aristocrat named Ambrose Congreve died, last year at the age of one hundred four (104).
0.29 He left behind a mansion full of treasures and the contents of his estate have gone up for auction.
V.O. Philip Reeves
0.35 Here’s NPR’s Philip Reeves.
0.37 People have come from far and wide.
0.40 They’re crammed into a big tent at Mount Congreve, a country estate with world famous gardens;
0.45 tucked amid the woods and rolling fields of south east Ireland.
Music
1.05 Congreve gifted his house and his gardens to the Irish Nation, but not the art and antiques.
1.24 A treasure trove is going under the hammer.
1.27 There are lacquered screens and vases from Imperial China.
1.31 Rare books, Georgian silver, vintage wines, chandeliers and gilt mirrors and enough antique furniture to fill a palace.
Music
2.07 In the tent, there are agents from across Europe.
2.10 George Mealy says the Irish are here too.
V.O. George Mealy
2.12 A lot of Irish and a lot of the wealthy Irish are represented here as well today.
