THE final of three days of the Arqana Select Sale is officially Part 2 of that catalogue. As ever, many of the lots would not have been out of place in Part 1. The sale was disrupted last year, but this time was able to revert to its 2019 format.

Demand was generally strong over the three days, with purchases made by Irish, American, British, French and Middle Eastern buyers. That said, the figures did not keep pace with 2019, though they compared favourably with years prior to that.
