One of Kilbaha Village’s, most famous native sons, Henry Blake, or Aonraoí de Bláca, was one of the areas last native Irish speakers and indeed was renowned for his storytelling, dancing and beautiful wood carvings. Blind from a young age, this image of him, walking tall and straight, tapping his cane throughout the village of Kilbaha was exactly how most locals remember him. This painting would be of interest to those with a love of the area and also a love of history and the Irish language.

Una Heaton is one of Limerick’s more well-known artists and personalities. Her love of Kilkee and the Loop Head Peninsula in general, as well as her love of many beautiful places along Ireland’s West Coast, is obvious throughout her back catalogue of work. Painted in the artists bright and electric signature style, this is a colourful and beautiful piece to own.

Your Shipping Choices Explained

NOTE: Due to Covid 19 areas are experiencing delays and some restrictions on deliveries – please enquire directly with us if you are concerned. 

We generally use the postal service here in Ireland, called An Post. It is very reliable and we take the utmost care in packing all our pieces professionally to ensure that have the very best chance of arriving safely in their destination.  This option would be at your own risk.

We can also offer you our own cargo insurance at a reasonable price – weight and piece dependent. Please enquire with us for this option. (This will also be packed by us and carried by An Post as above)

Taking into account the delicate nature and cost of your purchase, if you would prefer it travel in a specialized and insured Art Box with an outside Art Handler, then this can be arranged.  For paintings up to and including the size 120cm x 100 cm – prices with an insured professional courier, range from €75 – all the way up to €475 (size and location dependent) NOTE: This option will take considerably longer as we will have to outsource it and get quotes for you before we proceed.

For paintings or items falling outside of those largest dimensions then a further discussion is required – as it may need to have a bespoke crate to be built for it and a further cost will apply.
