DRUMS of Malahide opens its 1997 season with an antique and fine art auction in its salesrooms next Thursday, starting at 7 p.m. A mid-Victorian D-end dining table - regrettably without any leaves - carries the relatively low estimate of £800-£1,500, while a white marble chimneypiece "in the French tradition" and measuring 4ft high by almost 5ft wide is expected to sell for £8 00-£1,000. A child's Edwardian Sheraton dressing table has an estimate of £400-£600, as do a number of three-and four-door Victorian wardrobes. Among pictures, a Markey Robinson oil called Going to Church is also expected to make £400-£600.
