THE ART OF SELLING AT WHYTE’S

Whyte & Sons was founded in Dublin in 1783 and in the past three
centuries the Whyte family business has expanded and evolved with the

postal history, historical artefacts, coins, medals, manuscripts, maps,
ephemera, memorabilia and a wide range of other collectibles. The main
