An article in the Fine Arts & Antiques column in Saturday's editions said incorrectly that an auction would take place in Hamilton Osborne King's Blackrock premises today. In fact, this auction was held last Wednesday. We regret any inconvenience this error may have caused.

When errors occur it is the policy of The Irish Times to correct or clarify as soon as it is practicable. Readers may contact the Readers' Representative's office by telephoning 01-679-2022 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday. Outside these times they may contact the Duty Editor.
