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.
