Description:
Curraghmore House, Co. Waterford, is a c.1755 large classical house which contains an outstanding decorative plasterwork ceiling in the Billiard Room attributed to the Lafrinichini brothers. One of the finest 18th-century ceilings in Ireland, the works involved the repair of this ceiling as the cornice in the south-east corner had moved away from the wall.
Grants Awarded:
2014: £5,000 from IGS London towards repairs to Lafranchini Ceiling and section of roof
