With everything from rare silver and Egyptian Revival gold bangles to Irish and international art and antique and cutting edge contemporary furniture by Zelouf and Bell this annual IADA showcase promises to be a must see event for anyone serious about antiques in Ireland. There will be free lectures on September 26, 27 and 28 on subjects as diverse as the art of lacquer and the glamour of vintage fashion to key figures in Irish painting. The fair is comprehensive.
