The Irish Examiner published an antiques feature on Friday, 18 September 2026, spotlighting three items: Edwardian furniture, a nativity set and a silk top hat. The piece appeared under the paper's antiques coverage, according to the Irish Examiner.
The three objects span very different categories of collecting. Edwardian furniture refers to pieces produced during the reign of King Edward VII, while a nativity set falls into the decorative and religious-object market. A silk top hat sits in the world of vintage clothing and historic headwear.
The Irish Examiner did not publish further details of the individual items in the material available, so specifics such as maker, date, condition or valuation could not be confirmed.
Antiques coverage of this kind typically serves collectors, dealers and general readers who follow the secondhand and heritage market. Grouping furniture, seasonal religious pieces and historic attire in one feature reflects how broad the antiques field is, drawing interest from buyers with very different tastes and budgets.
What to watch next: whether the Irish Examiner follows up with fuller descriptions, provenance or pricing for any of the three items, and whether further antiques features appear in the same series.
