Antiques: Portrait, phoenix and peacock in the picture

Unusual lots offer collectors in Ireland a wide range of choice next week, writes Des O'Sullivan

Marie Louise O'Murphy after Boucher by Harry Kernoff at Morgan O'Driscoll and the accessories of a Manchu gentleman at Adam's.

A Manchu gentleman's embroidered silk accessories and a fine pair of arts and crafts hanging tapestries or a suite of sapphire, ruby and diamond ring and ear clips and a homage by Harry Kernoff to Francois Boucher's portrait of Marie Louise O'Murphy, mistress of King Louis XV of France, the choice is yours at sales in Ireland next week.

These unusual lots can be found respectively at a Fine Asian and African art sale at James Adam and Aidan Foley's online auction of contents from the Convent of St Joseph of Cluny in Killiney on Tuesday (June 25) and at The Jewellery Box sale at James Adam and Morgan O'Driscoll's online art auction on Monday.
