  • 50TH IADA FAIR OPENS IN DUBLIN THIS EVENING

    Over 70 million euro worth of antiques will be on show at the 50th Irish Antique Dealers Fair in the RDS in Dublin. A special celebratory preview night will be opened by the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht Heather Humphreys tonight and the Fair proper runs from September 25-27. Around 15,000 people are expected to discover the delights of Irish antiques at the fair.

    Antiques Roadshow stars Judith Miller and Mark Hill head a packed programme which has been organised to celebrate the golden jubilee of the annual fair that manages to combine contemporary design history with the best of Irish antiques. Here is a small sample of what you can find.
