Auctions: Everything from a modular sofa to an entire bar

The complete bar from Kiely’s of Mount Merrion and a De Sede white modular sofa are top attractions at at upcoming auctions 

DS-600 modular sofa in white leather at James Adam.

The complete bar from Kiely’s of Mount Merrion or a De Sede white modular sofa first launched in 1972 — the choice is yours at upcoming auctions by Aidan Foley and James Adam this month.

The sofa would have been very much out of place in a traditional setting like Kiely’s but would make itself very much at home in any large luxurious contemporary space. 

The complete bar from Kiely's of Mount Merrion at Aidan Foley's sale.

Designed by Eleonore Peduzzi-Riva, Ueli Berger, Klaus Vogt and Heinz Ulrich, it is complete with 22 sections with which multiple compositions can be created. At its Mid-Century Modern sale in Dublin on May 21, Adam's estimates it at €10,000-€15,000.

The bar at Kiely’s is a real deal throwback, laden with memory for us older folk. It is a highlight at Aidan Foley’s online auction in conjunction with Niall Mullen at Oldcastle on May 21 and 22. All sorts of pub memorabilia will come under the hammer and the catalogue is online. The estimate on the complete bar is a mere €1,000-€2,000.
