Two-day antiques auction in Connemara over bank holiday weekend

At the height of summer comes this art and antiques auction, writes Des O’Sullivan.    

Eva Hamilton’s Clifden Market is redolent of summer fair days’ in Ireland long ago and it’s at Dolan’s two-day Connemara art and antiques auction in Ballyconneely next Monday and Tuesday at 12.30pm on each day.

There is a strong sense of a busy fair day about the work, a situation auctioneer Niall Dolan is no doubt hoping to see recreated at his two-day, high summer bank holiday sale of around 500 lots.
