Art: See what's in the frame at Limerick and Dublin sales

Des O'Sullivan previews a weekend fair in Limerick and art sales in Dublin

A dramatic Irish weatherscape by Camille Seaman at the National Antiques Fair in Limerick today and tomorrow.

St Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland and if you drive to Limerick racecourse today and tomorrow you can hunt for all sorts of treasures on this long weekend of national celebration. There will be dear little shamrocks and plenty of other expensive baubles too.

With its ample parking and ease of access, Limerick Racecourse has proved itself to be an ideal venue for this extensive quarterly National Antiques, Art and Vintage. With its antique shops, art galleries and vintage dealers this one will welcome a selection of new dealers along with members of the Irish Antique Dealers Association and regulars like Eily Henry with vintage fashion, Weldons with collectible silver and jewellery and Treasures with Irish art,
