Retro style, inspirational art, old objects and new ideas can be found in abundance at the National Antiques Art and Vintage fair at Limerick Racecourse today and tomorrow (November 14 and 15). If the mild autumn weather delayed the indoor housing of outdoor plants why not place them in style in an Irish Georgian planter with its original lead lining like the one illustrated here. There will be lots of unusual, affordable and interesting objects available, from jewellery and ceramics and art to antique furniture, postcards, coins, vintage radios and all sorts of nostalgic collectibles. Robin O’Donnell of Hibernian Antique Fairs, who organised this and other fairs over the last four decades, sadly died in October. It was his wish that the fair go ahead and that Hibernian Antique Fairs maintain a full schedule of events in 2027.
