Preview of art, antiques and sculpture auctions

Des O'Sullivan previews three days of sales organised by Fonsie Mealy and checks out the art and sculpture at de Veres

'A Lament (The Funeral of Harry Boland)' by Jack B Yeats at de Veres.

With everything from tapestries to chimney pieces, art, jewellery and a Rolex Oyster watch, the three day Chatsworth Summer Art sale by Fonsie Mealy next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday has drawn collectible pieces from estates right around Ireland like Strokestown House, Co Wexford, Cahir Park House, Co Tipperary, the McAteer estate from Newcastle, Co Down, Celbridge Lodge, Co Kildare, and many other properties.

The most expensively estimated furniture lots are some 18th-century overmantel and giltwood mirrors in a range from €7,000-€15,000.
