King Jaun Carlos - Spain


​Presented to King Jaun Carlos by President Mary Robinson during a State Visit.


​In 1992, President Mary Robinson marked the occasion of her State Visit to Spain by presenting King Juan Carlos with a pair of sterling silver candlesticks crafted by Irish silversmith Kevin O’Dwyer. The gift reflected both Ireland’s contemporary design excellence and its rich tradition of metalwork, serving as a symbolic gesture of friendship between the two nations. O’Dwyer’s modern yet culturally rooted style made the candlesticks a fitting diplomatic gift, embodying Ireland’s creativity while honoring the formality of the occasion.
