Parnell Road, Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford
Tel/Fax: 054 33553
Established in 1991, Parnell Antiques is owned and
run by the husband and wife team of Chris and
Helen Kavanagh, both of whom originate from Enniscorthy
and share a consuming interest in antiques.
In the three small rooms of their elegant
showroom you'll find a very broad range of pieces
Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, especially
bedroom furniture; long case, mantle and Vienna clocks from
the Georgian and Victorian eras; aneroid and
mercury barometers dating back to around 1800; mirrors and
prints, and much more.
A clock repair service is available and restoration
work by local specialists can also be arranged. The shop is
open from 10.30am to 5.30pm, Wednesday to Saturday, and
at other times by appointment; parking is available
outside the shop. Enniscorthy town itself is well worth
exploring. A busy market town, it boasts an impressive medieval
castle which houses the Wexford County Museum; the outstanding National 1798 Centre which
recounts the story of the 1798 rebellion; and a fine neo-Gothic cathedral, St Aidan's.
