A lover of antiques is usually a lover of history, so here’s a little bit of ours. Michael Duffy Antiques have been supplying the people of Dublin and beyond with truly unique and diverse relics for almost 70 years. John Duffy opened up his antiques store on Ormond Quay in 1947, just two years after the end of World War II. Being an antiques connoisseur and a lover of pieces with a story, John saw a real gap in the market for an antiques store in Dublin managed by someone who devotedly knew the ins and outs of antiquities. In 1962, the store packed up and moved to 10 Parnell Street, where it remains in operation to this day.
