Bargains galore to be had at auctions in the south this week

Des O’Sullivan says there’s great value to be had at sales this week including two in Cork and Waterford.

Auctions in Cork today, and Waterford on Monday, attest to a healthy state of interest in the world of art, antiques and interiors in areas beyond the Pale.

There are bargains to be had at auctions everywhere. At James Adam’s in Dublin last weekend, antique furniture was knocked down at giveaway prices, but prime pieces should do better at Woodward’s in Cork today and RJ Keighery in Waterford next Monday.
