LOT 170. ROLAND SCHAD, CIRCA 1970
This was the piece I was hoping I could keep! Bold, impactful and artistic. This makes such a statement both in form and colour, I adore it.
LOT 90. POMELLATO, CIRCA 1968
Shape and scale is wonderful here and I love that they have a dual function. The amber tone of the citrine is so complimentary on the skin too.
LOT 130. POMELLATO
A timeless classic that still makes a statement.
LOT 104. BULGARI
Bulgari has my heart! And green is my colour! I adore everything about this, the bulbous shape of the ring itself and the emerald, almost like candy.
LOT 186. DAVID WEBB
Old world charm captivated me with these, bulbous, soft, inviting and oh so beautiful.
LOT 92. CARLO WEINGRILL FOR BULGARI
This really feels like a fashion piece for me. It is so stylised and glamorous, like a fashion cuff.
LOT 122. VHERNIER.
Elegant, beautiful and stunning on. This piece reminded me of the beautiful Bottega Veneta leather detailing which I adore.
LOT 129. DE GRISOGONO.
I love yellow gold and simplicity and structure. For me this is a piece you could wear everyday that goes with everything.
LOT 88. ITALIAN, CIRCA 1950.
Sculptural and delicately detailed, this is a beautiful piece.
LOT 217
It was the uniqueness of the shape and the angle here that really caught me. Understated yet playful at the same time.
LOT 128. VHERNIER.
Sculpture and form. I love the contemporary, stylised way of this piece. It’s substantial yet completely wear able. One I would wear every day.
LOT 76.
There’s something about this piece that takes me back to my childhood. My Girl, the movie and her mood ring. I was instantly drawn to the shape, colour
and detail.
LOT 196. TOURNAIRE.
The prettiest little thing! There’s a whole village in this ring, the minute architectural detailing is just so sweet.

Buying at Auction and the Role of Antiques in a Modern Home
Important Irish Art Auction Highlights
Oliver Dowling Collection by Aidan Dunne
2024 is a year in which Adam’s wants to recognise the key role buying antique furniture and furnishings at auction contributes greatly to the sustainable initiative. In 2019 the Environmental Protection Agency reported stark figures that each year in Ireland 1.2 million reusable bulky items, primarily furniture goes into landfill. Similar to the problem of ‘fast fashion’, the constant production and consumption of new items is leading to rapidly growing waste problem. We want to acknowledge those who are already buying second hand or antique furniture at auction and to encourage new buyers by highlighting the benefits of acquiring affordable, well-made quality items that are built to last.

Yvonne Aupicq had met Orpen, we understand, while working as a nurse during the war. He had been admitted to hospital with a suspected case of scabies which ended up being a far more serious case of blood poisoning as he recounts in his wartime memoir ‘An Onlooker in France’. Their relationship continued after 1918 when Orpen was appointed as the official artist to The Paris Peace Conference. They relocated to capital and over the following decade he painted her numerous times, often nude as in Amiens 1914, or The Rape and Nude Girl Reading (1921). Working with her as his model during these early years after the war allowed Orpen an opportunity to re-fuel his creativity.

"Beating the bounds is a tradition that can be traced back to the medieval period. At this time, land was divided into parishes and the clergy and church wardens held the responsibility for its upkeep and management. It was up to the Church to ensure that its parishioners knew the local boundary lines and, before maps became commonplace, this had to be kept as a mental record."
Adam’s in conjunction with Suzanne MacDougald are proud to host an online timed auction of artworks to aid the Irish Red Cross’s humanitarian work in delivering vital services to millions of people impacted by the conflict in Ukraine. With no buyers premium 100% of the hammer price will go directly to the Irish Red Cross.
