This painting has truly, madly, deeply, captured our hearts here!

A recent trip to the Co. Clare Village of Kilbaha, inspired the contemporary artist Kaye Maahs to create this striking oil painting of what is a very special view.

A nod to the the area’s ‘Land Agent’ past, of the 1800’s, this stone turret, built dauntingly close to the cliff edge, has always been known locally as ‘The Reading Room’.  At the time, this extraordinary reading room was only a short walk from what was, the land agents house. The ladies of the house would send the menfolk there after tea, where it was said that they ‘smoked and chatted’ more than they read!  What remained of the ‘big house’ was burned down in the 1920’s, however, the turret remains and is one of the first things you see as you turn the bend into the village.

This is a beautifully handled, original work, in oils by the supremely collectable Maahs.

Kaye is an award winning artist, whose work has been repeatedly accepted into the RHA Annual Exhibitions. She has painted and exhibited internationally as well as at home and has pieces hanging in private collections around the world.

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.
