LIMERICK, currently European Capital of Culture, is the place to be this weekend. Not only is the weather set fair for St. Patrick’s Day – remarkable in Ireland – but the city is to be the venue for the two day National Antiques and Art Fair. More than 100 dealers will be in attendance on March 15 and 16. They will offer jewellery, furniture, art, silver, glass, porcelain, vintage pieces, banknotes and a huge array of collectible items. The venue is the South Court Hotel. Here is a small flavour of what is in store for treasure hunters.
A diamond and sapphire ring.
A centre table.
A Killarney box.
A Lady Lavery 100 pound Irish banknote.
