The main tranche from the collection of late Dublin businessman John Reihill will feature at Adams sale of Important Irish Art on May 28. The Sunday Interiors auction will include items from the personal collection of Dublin antique dealer Henry Naylor, considered to be the most important Irish antiques dealers of the first half of the 20th century. After his death a five day auction was held by Murphy, Buckley and Keogh in September of 1959 to dispose of his stock. His nephew, the late Ronnie MacDonald became in turn Dublin’s leading antiques dealer. The catalogue is online. Here is a small selection (click on any image to enlarge it):
