Much activity in the Irish Art and Antiques market

THE Irish art and antique market has not had a bad year and the best of 2012 is yet to come.
A pair of exceptional Irish George II side tables could make a record price for Irish furniture at Sotheby’s in London next month. Estimated at £250,000-400,000 sterling the c1755 tables belong in a rarified category of antique that is recession proof.
