Weldons Jewellers and Antique silver dealers are one of the founding members of the Irish Antique Dealer's Association.
James Weldon founded the business circa. 1895, coming to Dublin from county Kildare. He dealt extensively in diamonds, old Irish silver and pictures, until his death in 1951.
His son James started on his own circa. 1935, and in 1940 moved from Marlborough Street to our current location at 55 Clarendon Street. He was a member of the Company of Goldsmiths of Dublin, and served a period as Master Warden.
James's wife Joan continued trading from 1957, her sons James and Martin entered the business in the 1960s. In 1996 James was made a member of the Company of Goldsmiths of Dublin, and in 2001 became Master Warden. James is widely regarded as the world's leading expert on Georgian Irish silver. Martin is a specialist in Antique Irish silver.
