Antiques: Silver chess set, fine art and furniture at James Adam auction

Grandmaster collectors will find everything from a silver chess set to fine art at James Adam, writes Des O'Sullivan

A Spanish silver 'Egyptians and Nubians' chess set at James Adam.

The work Haystacks by Sir William Rothenstein (€5,000-€7,000), probably painted around 1930 when he was principal at the Royal College of Art, will lead the At Home online sale at James Adam in Dublin this Wednesday (December 17). Like his close associate Orpen, Rothenstein was an official war artist. This painting was in the collection of the late Bruce Arnold, whose book Mirror to an Age, published in 1991, is one of the foremost biographies of Orpen.

Everyone, everywhere, always needs something for the home.
