Period furniture from gallery owner Ib Jorgensen’s Haddington Road residence is included in de Vere’s Interiors Auction at the Berkeley Court Hotel in Dublin on April 22 at 2 p.m. The auction of furniture and fine art from the 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st centuries is a new venture by de Veres. The sale includes contemporary design and a pair of Eileen Gray Lota sofas made under licence by the official designer Classicon. There will be just under 300 lots.
UPDATE: Around 80 per cent of lots were sold in an auction that brought in over 200,000. The auction house intend to hold another interiors sale in the autumn.
