  1. Old Furniture

    Share Share Post
    There a number of settle beds around this district. There is one up in my Granny's. the oldest piece of furniture in my house is an armchair. We have it nine or ten years now. There are a number of old fashioned press beds in the country still. There is one in Mr. Bohan's of Lough Rynn and there is one at home. There are people who still make rush candles and lanterns. There is an old press bed up in my uncles in Errew. There is a grisset up in Rynn castle and Mr. Winters has a grisset and he has a spinning wheel also. There are a great many griddles around this country still.
