In this debut episode, Matthew sits down with Domhnaill Ó Garbhaí, the founder of Acquired.ie, a specialist in rare, high-quality vintage furniture by iconic 20th-century designers from Italy, France, and Denmark.
Domhnaill shares some brilliant stories about his passion for woodwork, art, design, and antiques—from his days as one of Ireland’s largest collectors of Banksy artworks to the standout pieces he’s handled, including a Brionvega RR126 stereo system, a pair of armchairs from the first-class lounge of Italy’s Setebello train, and even a very tiny Picasso.

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), 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.
