Irish art continues to outperform antique furniture on the Irish auction market in 2012. In the continuing absence of movement on the property market front this continues to be a buyer’s market for furniture. There is value to be had. Art by Mainie Jellett and Dan O’Neill produced the best results at the sale at Adams Blackrock, Dublin on February 14. Furniture prices remained low and represented in some cases value that can be described as incredible when compared to what would have been paid in the not too distant past.
