At No. 4 Molesworth Street and Ormond Quay, the duo established their esteemed antique stores, with the latter named Ormond Antiques.Mrs. Handelman, distinguished by her passion for Belleek porcelain, emerged as a prominent dealer in this exquisite art form. Beyond her expertise in Belleek, she was an avid collector of artworks, with a particular affinity for pieces of Asian origin.For three decades, Ormond Antiques graced Dublin's antique scene, becoming a hub for enthusiasts and collectors alike. However, as the sands of time continued to flow, the chapter of Ormond Antiques concluded in 1990. Despite the conclusion of its trading days, the legacy of Marion Newman and Blanche Handelman's contributions to the world of antiques and art endures, leaving an indelible mark on Dublin's cultural tapestry.
KITAGAWA UTAMARO 喜多川歌麿 (Japan, 1752-1806) Courtesan playing Samisen Oban tata-e / woodblock print Framed with a glass Notes:Kitagawa Utamaro was a Japanese artist. He is one of the most highly regarded designers of ukiyo-e woodblock prints and paintings, and is best known for his bijin ōkubi-e "large-headed pictures of beautiful women" of the 1790s. He also produced nature studies, particularly illustrated books of insects. Utamaro’s beautiful portrayal of a musician is composed almost entirely of sweeping curves and intricate patterns. The formally dressed woman, probably a geisha, seems to have momentarily turned away from the song on her music stand in a thoughtful moment as she absently adjusts one of her hair ornaments. She holds a shamisen, a kind of Japanese banjo used to accompany rhythmic folk songs. A bough of cherry blossoms at the top of the print suggests that the graceful young woman may be singing songs of springtime and youth. 3.
