Merry Christmas, such treat to watch this on XMAS Morning.

This guy is so cute. I just wanna put him in my pocket.

You have some interesting posts young man

I am Mexican but I was born around my great-uncles who went to Europe for months by ship. There were no planes in those days, they brought furniture, mostly French, and many other things. Their houses were museums. My mother was the poorest of the family, but she had her things as best she could because my father was an antique dealer, but in a poor way. I also have my museum in my house. Last Saturday I had the grace of God to find a Louis XV Transition in an Estate Sale and I am 90% sure that it is not a copy. But also, on the back of the marble that faces the wall they only filed the edge, very, very little, but even under that filing, you can see the chiseling that broke some pieces without noticing because they were behind. Also, this wood fits with another one just like the one I showed. Also, it has marquetry but with flowers and ornaments. It needs love and a lot of it, it's very old, it's missing the back plate for the key, but I'll see if I can find one that fits. I only paid $80 for that commodes. I loved the voice, it shows elegance, its presentation is very clear.

Love your videos!

I don't care that much about chairs right now, but please keep doing whatever this is. Also let's agree to bring back scollwork.

I wish you taught a class.

This is so neat! Found your videos after getting curious about what furniture styles truly are “timeless”

Haha hopefully the dressing casual helped!

Please do a podcast. You have a great voice.

i check your channel every few weeks for uploads because i enjoy your videos so much. thank you for putting this stuff on the internet for people like me to see!!!

When collecting antiques, discussing pricing of antiques is an important part of education. It would be fantastic if you could live links to places you get your fabrics from. Maybe you could make a separate episode with best sources for the different period fabrics, hardware etc.

Thanks for such an informative video. 👍👍👍

Another very professional breakdown of beautiful masterwork with deep understanding of the subject, Thank you! Kindly, Brian

I have a set of seat furnitures here at the château stampted P F Jean and with a stamp of Duc de Ponthievre, original fabric, gilt nails, 6 armchairs and a canape for you.

You are really like this period, still very good furnitures !

Thanks for your speech and video!

Great set of chairs. Substantial but soft in a way. Tropical Empire is a perfect description. I think of the floral furniture of Marie Antoinettes at the Petit Trianon. Not that they resemble each other, but they certainly get away from the predictable style of the time. Wonder if these were commissioned by some elegant lady? Always interesting to hear you speak and share your knowledge. Continued success!

I acquired the piece on a trade for some upholstery, I’m an upholsterer by trade from a family that has been upholstering for just at 100 years. Like I said it is in frame form no webbing,no guts,not even a pattern and I didn’t have time to work on it and the dealer had other pieces to upholster. It has what looks like a chair back for an arm, the actual back is very low… so you have to sit full length on the piece. I’ve had it for 25 years and is still in frame form lol, one day I will finish it.

Another excellent presentation. The pieces are beautiful and your explanations are par excellence. Thank you.

I’m always excited to watch a new show from you. Could you speak more about wood worm?

Not to brag…I have a chaise lounge, it is signed just the frame and can see the stamp signature.

The armchairs are more from the Restoration era than from the First Empire.

Haw much was your armoire?

Love the vid

Handsome lad. 👀

Fantastic chairs .... covered in Cleopatra peach, perhaps?

What about the new theory that Napoleon didn't exist?

My new quest in life is to fill my home purely with fascist furniture.

Love your description!

Fantastic chairs…but your description 😂

Fantastic chairs…but your description 😂

Fit for a Queen. Lovely.

Your guy found some gold there and didn't tell you 🌚

Wondering what is the price of that armoire?

Was the Fare a success for you? Any pieces find a home? If I may ask, can you do a behind the scenes video of filming, editing and those who assist you if any. Regards Barry

Awesome piece! Thanks for sharing!

Highly unusual piece, fascinating. Thank you for presenting it.

The Grand Palais is definitely one of the most amazing buildings in one of the most stunning cities worldwide. The way they renovated it is absolutely insane !

These pieces are incredible. Amazing artistry!

What a focal point that's going to make! I think anything else in the room will pale in comparison! The green chairs in the vignette look great also! Thanks for sharing your journey!

Three meters tall? What the hell is that? Come on man! Americans don't know what "meters" are. You are a dude from Missouri -- aren't you? You are still one of us -- right? I don't think its nearly as nice as the other things you have presented us for our appreciation. Yes, its a big boy. The heavy poly is distracting. OK I looked it up for you. Three European "meters" is almost 11 feet tall.

amazing

Bonjour je vous ai découvert récemment via un article de La Gazette Drouot, je vous souhaite beaucoup de réussite. Désolé je vous parle dans ma langue maternelle, ça vous évitera de faire des cauchemars avec mon anglais scolaire haha. Ce qui n'est pas le cas de votre français impeccable !

BEAUTIFUL PIECE, BEAUTIFUL INSTALATION, THANK YOU.

Today's furniture can't last 10 years, this lives for centuries

Wishing you much success in Paris.

Can you imagine the room that piece was in at one time. It is a beautiful piece, thank you for showing and explaining.

I love this video. your knowledge of antiques is impressive.

I always look forward to seeing you and your beautiful furniture, thanks!
