Francis ST.

Dublin 8

Dublin’s very own antique quarter is located in the heart of the city’s historical Liberties area, on a charming, vibrant street – near Christ Church and St. Patrick’s cathedrals – where art galleries and auction rooms meet. Among its dozen-or-so antiques shops are some of Ireland’s best, including Johnston Antiques, O’Sullivan Antiques, Patrick Howard Art & Antique, Connaught Antiques and Oriental Rugs. For art deco specialists visit Michael Mortell or Niall Mullen Antiques, while Timepiece Antique Clocks on nearby Patrick Street has a vast array of Irish grandfather and mantel clocks.
