The biggest antiques fair yet held at Dun Laoghaire's Royal Marine Hotel is scheduled for Monday when more than 50 dealers will be taking stands. Regional representatives at the event include the Mullaly's of Johnstown, who will be offering among other pieces an Irish Regency mahogany gentleman's linen press made by Mack, Williams & Gibton of Dublin and an Irish Regency military chest by Robert Strahan.

There will also be several dealers offering Irish and English Georgian silver, while others will specialise in prints, porcelain and miscellaneous collectables.
