Hennessy & Byrne

Working with stone can reveal a slice of history. As he polishes the local stone Eric often uncovers fossils, part of the material’s natural beauty.

Eric Byrne is a second generation stone mason. He learned his craft at his father’s side working with stone, carving it into usable items such as fireplaces and headstones from when he was a boy. His summer holidays were spent polishing stone.

Byrne now works with indigenous stone to make it into usable items for the home. His designs include clocks, candlesticks, tea light holders, cheeseboards and cheese knives, and napkin rings. His Kilkenny napkin clips, a more modern reworking of the traditional holder, use an intense diamond polishing process.
