OPENING FINE ART AUCTION
Gormley’s have gathered together 279 Lots of superb paintings with realistic reserves for the opening of their new Dublin auction venue. For me the works by Antrim artist, Verner Finlay (http://irishart.demonweb.co.uk/finlay/bio.htm), are by far the most exciting and apart from their beauty they will surely appreciate greatly in value. Other worthwhile artists included in the sale are Francis Bacon, Percy French, Graham Knuttel, Louis le Brocquy, Markey Robinson, Kenneth Webb and Maurice C Wilks.

it must be said that this auction has proportionately more household odds and ends compared with actual antiques. i spent 2 hours looking at catalogue with very little of interest to me. thanks anyway JD
Agreed, but like most general antiques auctions you have to be prepared to search through mountains of 'brown' furniture and cracked ceramics to find the odd treasure. With a few exceptions even reading through most catalogues online would drive you to drink.

i agree, although i would say the Kerry auction rooms online catalogue is one of the easier ones to read through, some of the others have no price and if they have a photo its tiny.Judgement Day wrote: »Agreed, but like most general antiques auctions you have to be prepared to search through mountains of 'brown' furniture and cracked ceramics to find the odd treasure.

Mealy’s buyers premium is 20% incl.VAT.
* A word of warning, this is not a traditional 'Big House' sale in the accepted sense and there is little in the sale that has been at Mallow Castle for longer than about 30 years. There will be no boxes of goodies discovered in the attic or Victorian contents of the nursery. That said, it is an opportunity to pick up high class antiques and have a good look around the historic house which was in the same family for many centuries prior to its purchase by an American, Michael McGinn, in the 1980s. A bit more of its history here: http://william-montgomery.com/properties/mallow.htm
It's good to see that the house has been bought by Cork Council (for a snip) and is to be developed as a tourist attraction:

Whyte’s Sale of History, Literature & Collectables on Saturday (16th April) showed, yet again, that there is still plenty of life left in the collecting world if the quality is there. Prices generally were at or well above their pre-sale estimates with the only surprise, for me, being Lot .41. Copy of the 1803 Robert Emmet Proclamation which sold for only €25,000, below the lower end of its pre-sale estimate of €30,000 – €50,000. Although its condition could kindly be described as distressed, I would have thought that its sheer rarity would have had collectors fighting over it.
Amongst other lots to sell well were items of weaponry and militaria. Here, again, the star item Lot.296. The Thompson Submachine Gun failed to reach its hefty estimate of €10,000 – €15,000 and was knocked down for €7,200 – still not a bad price! Amongst the coins and banknotes there were several surprises including Lot.469. A Hiberno Norse silver penny with a pre-sale estimate of €3,500 – €4,500 which sold for €12,000, and Lot.585. A Lady Lavery 20 pound note with an estimate of €1,000 – €1,500 which sold for €6,000.
Lot.469. A Hiberno Norse silver penny sold for €12,000
Lot.585. A Lady Lavery 20 pound note sold for €6,000
Lot.141. A signed photograph of the explorer Ernest Shackleton fetched €540 as against its pre-sale estimate of €150 – €250. Letterpress and lithographic posters also sold well with Lot.374. a not uncommon, CIE 1950s poster realising €520 (est.€200-€300) and Lot.377. A colourful An Tostal poster going for €1,550 (est.€100-€150).
