The Irish Country House

by Desmond FitzGerald and James Peill

Book Overview

A land of legend and lore, Ireland is also home to some of the most breathtaking residences in the world, ten of which are explored in this charming book. Take a once-in-a-lifetime tour through these historical homes and castles--all still owned and lived in by the original families--furnished with heirlooms and cherished hand-me-downs. From cabinets filled with monogrammed china to cabbage-rose slipcovered sofas nestled beneath tall Gothic windows, the lavish living rooms and bedrooms, print-lined hallways, and well-used mudrooms capture the distinctive personalities of their owners. "This is country house porn of the sweetest, most insinuating kind and will probably be a smash." -- World of Interiors "An intimate glimpse of life inside ten wonderful Irish country houses." --Min Hogg
