<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9612177, member: 2844&quot;]There is a historic connection between Ireland and Spain. For instance, there were Irish soldiers fighting for the Spanish against the Dutch in the Dutch War of Independence, 1568-1648. </p><p>There are still Irish people with Spanish ancestors. I used to know one of them, and he told me that there is a neighbourhood in or near Dublin where several families are of Spanish origin. </p><p>A Spanish painting could have ended up in Ireland through Ibero-Hibernian ties, but without proof we will never know for sure. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know if the person who said British wood was used can tell the difference between British, Irish, or Spanish wood. But wood was traded internationally, so if it is indeed British wood it could have ended up in another country (Spain) through trade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
