At Hennessy & Byrne, cheeseboards, serving platters, candleholders and exquisite serving utensils are handcrafted by Eric Byrne, a second generation master stone mason with a passion for Irish stone. Eric uses his work to showcase the swirling green veins of Connemara Marble, the lustrous black shades of Kilkeeny Limestone or the silver flecks of mica characteristic of Wicklow Granite. The Ancient stone used at Hennessy and Byrne was formed up to 750 million years ago and is carved, shaped and polished to create beautiful functional and unique gifts to cherish for the future.
