Dealing in the Years

About Dealing in the Years

Antique dealers handle hundreds, if not thousands, of pieces each week, and for every piece there's an incredible story to tell. Presented by the Irish Antiques Dealers Association (IADA (https://www.iada.ie/)), Dealing in the Years uncovers these stories, one dealer at a time. In each episode, Matthew Weldon sits down with a different IADA member to discuss their passion for antiques and their unique journey in the trade.
