Welcome to Treasures of Georgian Waterford at the Bishop's Palace.
The Bishop’s Palace charts the history of Waterford from 1700 to 1970 and gives a wonderful insight into the history of what was up to the 1750s, Ireland’s second city. Waterford city boasts the finest collection of 18th century architecture of any city in Ireland outside of Dublin and its great legacy from the period is its elegant silverware and, of course, fine glassmaking.  Visitors to the Bishop’s Palace will see the oldest piece of Waterford Crystal in the world - a decanter made in the 1780’s.
View this Irish 18th century walnut rectangular stool at the Bishop's Palace museum. The upholstered tapestry seat is on plain frieze with cabriole legs, with shells carved to the knees.	Come in and see this view of Waterford by van der Hagen, dating from 1736, commissioned by Waterford Corporation. This is the first view in oils of the city of Waterford by an artist who has been described as the first important name in landscape painting in Ireland.	This is a Penrose Decanter, from 1789. It measures twenty-six cm high and the decanter has a noticeably wide pouring lip. Come and view it at Bishop's Palace ...
