All exhibitors are members of the Irish Antique Dealers Association and this is the showcase of that body whose 80 members come from North and South of the border.
Although there will be a broad range of stock, the fair will be strong on Irish silver and furniture, a fine example of the latter being this George III period marble-topped side table carved in the Chinese Chippendale manner.
Made in Dublin c.1765 for Farmleigh House, Phoenix Park, home of the Earls of Iveagh, it will be shown at the fair by Limerick period furniture and mirrors specialist Noel O’Toole.
