(30.5 by 39.4cm) Frame Dimensions: 17.25 by 20.5in. (43.8 by 52.1cm) Aldborough House is one of Dublin’s great eighteenth-century mansions. Built for the Earl of Aldborough between 1793 and 1799, it was the last great house to be built before the passing of the Act of Union. The classical Palladian design with quadrant walls and anking pavilions is attributed to Richard Johnson. The Act of Union had a devastating e ect on the fate of the great houses of Dublin and Aldborough House did not enjoy a long period as a private home. The house was used for periods as a school, barracks and post o ce depot, before becoming vacant in the early 21st century. €150-€200 (£130-£170 approx.)
