In Wexford

Wexford has one of the best antiques shops in the country. Linda Hunt Antiques (26 Henrietta St., 053/46870) specializes in exquisite Napoleonic, Victorian, and Deco jewelry--some found locally, other pieces alighted upon in England or France. There's also a lovely dress collection (nothing newer than the early 1960s), mid-20th-century rag dolls, a sprinkling of quality furniture, even a stash of turn-of-the-century glass medicine bottles (some still full!)
