A table made from wood from the 17th century Spanish Armada has sold at auction for €360,000.
After the ships sunk off the West Clare coast 430 years ago, ship parts and decorative carvings were recovered, and used to construct the three-metre long ‘Armada table’.
The table, which has been described as one of the most important and earliest pieces of Irish furniture, has been sold by Lord Inchiquinn, Conor O’Brien at auction in Louth today.
