About Us

Thomas P. Adams established his firm of auctioneers and valuers over three quarters of a century ago in his rooms at Blackrock. The company trades as Adams Blackrock and has relocated to central Dublin at 17 Kildare Street.

Adams Blackrock has developed a boutique auction house profile, engaging highly qualified staff, delivering expertise and a client facing personal service. The line up in the jewellery department deploys a team of qualified gemmologists reinforcing this niche area of our business.

Adams Blackrock’s valuation department prepares valuations for probate, insurance and domestic division, along with appraisals for auction. The company has the leading online auction platform in Ireland and attracts buyers from across the island and internationally. This is underpinned by an unrivalled digital marketing strategy.

Integrity and confidentiality are at the core of the practice and Adams Blackrock is a Member of the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland, The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the Society of Fine Art Auctioneers & Valuers. The firm is licensed by The Property Services Regulatory Authority in Ireland.
