IRISH ANTIQUE MANTELS

Irish Antique Mantels was established in October 2017 to facilitate the export to the USA & Canada of a huge haul of recently discovered genuine 120 - 220 year old Antique British & Irish Mantels. This generational discovery was made on the preparation for sale of a unique Antique business in Cork, Southern Ireland. Noble Antique Fireplace Gallery has been trading in Cork, Southern Ireland, since the early 1980's. Owned and run by an eclectic character, James O'Driscoll, it had acquired over 1200 Mantels, Surrounds and Fireplace Inserts, thanks to Jimmy's passion and obsession in collecting the finest architectural wall furniture (mantels etc) at every opportunity over a 35 year period. Due to advancing years and declining health, Jimmy had called in a friend to advise on the sale or restructuring of the business. With his family choosing to pursue other successful careers, the sheer scale of the future potential of the business was too much for Jimmy to deal with.
