Russborough House is situated in West Wicklow, not far from Dublin. It was built in the mid-1700s for the 1st Earl of Milltown, and later it became home to the world-famous Beit Collection.
“Its classical design, perfect scale, architectural detail, and exquisite decoration marks this Palladian jewel as the most beautiful Georgian house in Ireland” says the website description.
During a recent visit, Sara Clancy, lacemaker and lace curious, visited Russborough House and spotted a few interesting pieces.
The dressing gown was created by Sybil Connolly with lace owned by Lady Beit.
