About the Academy
Ireland's premier educational institution dedicated to the study of antique jewelry and fine decorative art.
Established in 2025, the Academy operates out of the magnificent Drawing Room of Dublin's historic Powerscourt Townhouse—the city's celebrated Georgian residence, revered for its rare transitional Rococo and Neoclassical architecture.
Courtville Academy bridges the gap between historical reverence and contemporary commercial insight. Our programs offer exclusive access to leading gemologists, museum curators, and historians, allowing guests to refine their eye, honor the craft, and handle museum-grade pieces in an intimate, academic setting.
