In the mid 19th century, when The Gallery was

built, afternoon tea was an institution and a

mainstay of the gracious life. Surrounded by the

grandeur of The Gallery’s historic windows, walls and woodcarvings, this elegant

tradition lives on.

The Gallery at Adare Manor is a masterpiece within a masterpiece: the Dunraven family’s favourite room, and the centre of their family life in the

manor house. The 2nd Earl of Dunraven, confined indoors by poor health, needed something to inspire

him and occupy his busy mind. In 1832, his wife, Lady Caroline, encouraged him to design and build

a grand new manor house in a legendary gothic style. He agreed, and together they began to plan their great project. Of all the superb apartments in Adare Manor, The Gallery was the most intimate expression of their creativity and love for beauty, a family sitting room adorned with every beautiful

architectural flourish and ornament they could imagine: a process of furnishing and decoration which spanned years. The 2nd Earl once wrote:

“The Gallery looks almost like a Cathedral... I do not know how we shall ever fill it.”

History of The Gallery continued…

The monumental scale of the room was not an accident: its design was inspired by the great cathedrals and long castle galleries of Europe,

and by the legendary Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. Its furnishings were drawn from the treasure troves of the continent in a series of European tours. The

deeply expressive woodcarvings, including choir stalls (known as misericords) and the 15th century

door found at the western end of The Gallery, came from the Church of Saint Paul in Antwerp, Belgium.

The breathtaking stained glass windows, which trace the noble lineage of the Wyndham and Quin families, were commissioned by the Earl from the

finest glass artists in London, and dedicated “in the love and honour of Caroline Wyndham,

his countess.”

History of The Gallery continued…

Other pieces were sourced closer to home. A copy of one of those gorgeous carved choir stalls

was completed so expertly by local woodcarvers that no one could tell the difference, and further massive oak carvings were commissioned to fill

the room with scenes from scripture. Lavish tapestries to cover the walls were embroidered by local schoolgirls. Imposing marble fireplaces

were designed by P.C. Hardwick and created from “neighbourhood marble.” These masterworks by

local craftspeople were more than adornments for a mansion: they became a source of employment and financial support for Adare village during one of the most devastating periods of Irish history, sheltering

the community from the worst deprivations of the famine.

History of The Gallery continued…

For all the grandeur of the space, this was very much a living room: a place of comfort and warmth

for all the family. Lady Caroline, describing the felicity of their everyday life here, wrote:

“Musical instruments and games of different kinds are scattered throughout the room, a constant supply of rare and beautiful plants is brought in

from the conservatory, and their perfume, added to the delicious tones of the organ, and the beauty of all that the eye rests upon, forms a most perfect

combination of refined enjoyment.” Today, the reimagined Gallery at Adare Manor

continues that legacy of elegance and joy.

“Taking tea” in The Gallery whisks you back through history to a time and place where the quest for

beauty, gentility, and refined enjoyment was an everyday pursuit.
