In restoring the four magnificent Georgian townhouses that form The Merrion, no feature is more striking than the magnificent Rococo Stucco plasterwork ceilings. Made from lime and crushed marble, the plaster has been moulded and carved into intricate, opulent designs incorporating flowers, fruit and birds. Restoring the work of the Master Stuccadores of centuries gone-by was overseen by Seamus O'hEocha and took him over six months to complete.

Of his work, Seamus O'hEocha comments: "Even though the ceilings at The Merrion had fallen into such poor repair, it was an extraordinary challenge to work on such quality plasterwork, and satisfying to think we were restoring it so that people from all over the world can enjoy it - perhaps for another 200 years or more!"
