Antique Shopping in A CRUMBLING French Antique Store

Antique Shopping in France with best friend Billy.

[@IreneSonni]

It’s a floor polisher Ryan 😂 My parents had one in the early 60’s It has two rotating brushes underneath and you clip on two lambswool discs for the final polish

[@jodivandyk3649]

My parents had one too at the same time.

[@sam-bp4uh]

I've used one at work with 3 brushes on that was only about five years ago used to use it on a big rustic dining table

[@casperbenj]

We had one too, it was green and came with many pairs of pads and buffers for cleaning and polishing the floors

[@yourspiritwhisperstarot3332]

Yup! My Dad had one too. I grew up in Canada but my parents were Scottish. I guess it was a popular product in lots of countries!

[@lhmcd5538]

I polished all of our wooden floors to keep them shiny and unscratched with a contraption that you were asking about.

[@y.lelivelt2619]

Wow Ryan, two videos made and editing today, thumbs up man.

[@donnalewis4895]

It is a floor buffer. It does look a bit shabby. Lovely to see a video before the weekend. Hugs

[@MachasDaughter]

Can you imagine if someone wanted to purchase one of those huge wardrobes at the back of that shop? It would months to dig it out. 😂

[@Emma2pointO]

I really enjoy your videos, Ryan. I’ve just subscribed to your channel 😊 And that “Mors” apparatus is a floor polisher.

[@kelliemarquet8518]

So many things I would have brought home with me!!! Cool.

[@joannebattaini815]

Omg Adrian & Carol are looking for those exact crystals they had missing on one of their’s! @ Chatsau de la Ferte’! Love from the Berkshire’s/New England Massachusetts!🫶🏻💕 least I think so anyways lol

[@jefflawrentz1624]

The shop looked like a good place to hunt for treasure. I sure hope you bought the large copper pan and lid. I thought that was very nice.

[@kathleenrobson1803]

What a lovely surprise to get a video from you in the week 😁

[@CynthiaBerry713]

Nice to see a mid week vlog, Ryan! I would've bought that copper pot and sold it to Sean for a profit...haha! Previous commenter was correct, Carole at Chateau de la Ferte is looking for chandelier crystals similar to those on that gorgeous chandelier! I would've bought it and sold it to HER! LOL jk 😉😆

[@margielynch7196]

This shop could be very nice with a new roof and a good cleaning plus some staging of the furniture pieces.Some people are more likely to buy if you show them how it could look in their homes.

[@mannyortiz4814]

Ryan,Billy the façade of the outside of the building is beautiful. Inside is another story. The roof looks ready to cave in. I love going antique shopping with you guys. Your bromance is beautiful. See ya tomorrow. Take care and stay safe 🍺❤️🎈🌈🌹😇🕊🇺🇸👍🙏🌞

[@sandragoss48]

The Mors automobile factory was an early French car manufacturer. It was one of the first to take part in automobile racing, beginning in 1897. That gadget you showed is a polisher maybe for floors.

[@lisaakinlabi]

Yeah have been in a few antique shops like that, some you can't really walk in because the space is limited. However they are usually the kind of shops you get awesome deals in and find elusive pieces. It's fun to rummage in places like that. Can't wait to see what you bought.

[@lisaloy2011]

Hopefully you bought the big copper stock pot. I use pots that size to make big batches of soups and spaghetti sauce that I can divide up and freeze.

[@SweetOne.]

Chateau De La Fleurt (my bad spelling) they need those flat crystals 7:17 off the chandelier for their salon. Let Carole know where that is, she'll be round to get it if the price is right. The spinning wheel caught my eye. Great Video, thank you Ryan :)

[@CynthiaBerry713]

Chateau de la Ferte, oooo good point! I would've bought that chandelier, it's gorgeous!

[@veronicamensch3160]

Hopefully Carole follows Ryan, she will snatch that chandelier up in a second. The crystals looked about the size she is looking for.

[@jeanneerlandsonchristensen9878]

Nice surprise seeing you on a Wednesday 😊

[@erbie-wan521]

I’ve found some great things in shops like that. But it is sad to see, lots of good things not being shown to their full potential. I never get tired of watching these antique store trips.

[@christinecox8073]

One hour and 45 minute add not got time to watch that lovely vlog Ryan thanks for sharing

[@billgreen1861]

Ryan, I was hoping that you bought the copper stock pot, after all it's in perfect condition and at 55.€ a bargain. The floor polisher is probably from the 50's that is the thing you didn't know what it was.

[@cgp1442]

That square picture frame with the unique Corners was absolutely gorgeous you should have purchased that. The frame alone was just amazing

[@wenDesigner]

Those are my favorite kind of antique shops, you can dig and find treasures! ❤😊❤

[@angeladresler1855]

So funny Ryan roof through the ceiling , thank you for a nice look around, everything looks very antique in there.

[@frantracey8737]

Yep. Floor polished. My mother had one. And the trunk you found that was on its side was actually a chest. Very possibly made of cedar wood inside. I have one, but with different carvings, that my mother in law gave me as a glory box. I use it as a blanket box.

[@lotusdolphin]

I am betting that you got the copper pot. That was beautiful. The antique store looks like a lot of fun, but you’re absolutely right Ryan. Not only does it need restoration in the worst way and in a hurry, but it needs a revamp inside. They would probably sell more. Too bad. Their prices must be good though, yes? Can’t wait till tomorrow to see what you got. Sending love from California💜🤟🏻😎🇺🇸

[@kariannecrysler640]

Personally find all doll’s creepy lol. The copper pot would have come home with me for sure. The building needs some TLC for sure. Luv y’all too 😊

[@patriciafay-magiera1304]

That antique shop was FULL of Treasures! Such a shame that so many of them are in peril due to the damaged roof. Hope you take us there again, Ryan. Hope you bought the copper pot! Best wishes, Patricia P.S. Thanks to Billy for the respectful way he treated the stole (pronounced "stola") vestment. It is quited small though. Maybe for an altar boy!?

[@paulinehoban1408]

I believe that part of the vestment is worn on the Priest's arm. Definitely not worn by an Alter boy.

[@patriciafay-magiera1304]

@@paulinehoban1408 Thank you, Pauline, for this info. It is true that I have never seen an altar boy wear such a vestment. It is good to know this. Patricia

[@DvCM]

@@paulinehoban1408 It's too large to be a maniple (for over the wrist), and as it is tailored to drape oner the shoulders it can only be a stole, however small. Gorgeous, too!

[@sallycarpenter1584]

Yep its a floor polisher Ryan,i used to have one when i had Parquet floors,many years ago,cant waite to see what goodies you have.

[@sharondavies5100]

Ryan it's definitely a floor polisher. My Mum and Dad had one too in the late 50s

[@meganhall1306]

Lovely antiques, great vlog Ryan. Hope they fix the roof/ceiling xxx💕💕

[@0halibut0]

YES! I agree with Billy. It looks like you need a bath after you go into that shop. I am glad it was you all going in and not me. I can just smell the dust and damp. ICK

[@herekittykittykitty475]

Hi Ryan. Will you have enough room in your office for a comfy leather chair and a neat trunk to hold a napping pillow and blanket? I like the ideal of modern office furniture mixed with old things. Could you squeeze in a shelf unit with business on the bottom and the top two shelfs for display such as hats and other interesting bits? Add an antique mirror with some modern art or posters to contrast!

[@milkweeddreams8828]

Love riding along with you two and Billy's expressions, what a hoot, you must have a blast together...those domes were amazing... but no taxidermy...thankfully...I do like shops like this, the charms of cobwebs, falling plaster and dead bugs...ahhh, the antiquing quest...

[@nexussever]

I loved the shop. Didn't Billy need a well pump for the convent- the well that he recently found?

[@Blessings.429]

Okay Ryan, it’s a floor scrubbing machine. Say you have tiled floors that need a good scrub, put down Ajax (cleaning powder) scrub then wash over with a mop….also if you get the lambs wool pads they polish after you wax the kitchen floor…hope I explained it alright…

[@lanakoerber4483]

I love shops like that! You never know what treasures are in there waiting to be discovered!😊

[@BabsonPlumCreek]

Right before you spotted the crystal chandelier I saw a wooden chandelier that looked similar to one Philipp on How to renovate a Chateau wired to use in his office. Very interesting.

[@sandylee9564]

Love love love old trunks and wooden boxes......I'm glad you pause when you come across the old trunks and let us look for a bit. Thank you guys.

[@lizstevenson7801]

Quite a lot of treasures in there, sadly the roof has been left to decay, a dangerous health hazard for sure. Nice video though, I enjoyed it very much so thank you 💕🇦🇺

[@laurag.2148]

The contraption is a wood floor polisher. ❤️🇨🇦

[@cheriemoulang2413]

Let carol from Chateau de la Ferte know about that chandelier the crystals look like what she needs

[@karengoddard1648]

I wouldn’t fancy being in the shop after dark 😊

[@hayleyhugo7237]

Lots of little treasures But OMG those dolls and mannequins are beyond creepy and honestly the whole time you were in there I was just imagining how many spiders and mice are in there 😳 It wouldn't put me off though.. It would have to be a high speed tour and a good amount of wet wipes available in the car..😜

[@marianleblanc130]

Thank you I love it when you go antiquing 😘🇨🇦

[@agapeascension1489]

Hope you bought that antique leaflet from 1919, that was sweet history to be remembered from a French wartime perspective.

[@sheiladickerson5198]

Yes, the antique shop needs cleaning and roof repairs. But it's still a nice antique shop and I would go there if I could. So, I have to settle for the antique shops in south Florida!🥰

[@brenday3889]

The spinning wheel looked beautiful.

[@vickismallwood2082]

I would love to go through that shop. To me that’s where you find bargains. Most people take one look and thinks it’s all junk but it’s not.

[@steffaniel370]

Good lord it looked like you two were the first to step into that shop in 50 years with all the cobwebs on stuff! You’re right, it doesn’t make sense that some of these places look so junky! I would have bought that magazine/booklet/leaflet from 1919. It was actually in really good condition and probably would have had some great vintage pages/ads to frame. ❤️🇨🇦

[@connieburkart9423]

I hope you purchased that beautiful copper pot. The antique shop needs a good cleaning and repairs to the roof. Love the vlogs. Always entertaining. Connie from Texas

[@traceyluliebear1274]

Hi Ryan 👋 your looking good, thanks for another great video , can't wait to see what you have brought 😀 😊

[@jeanbaker2087]

Ryan bought clogs, and Billy bought the huge copper pot.

[@marshawhite2904]

Yup… floor polisher!

[@melissahalbert9455]

Billy needs to purchase the room full of antiques where the roof is falling and sell all the things he doesn't need or want for the chateau or the convent. Bish bash bosh, problem solved!

[@nancycarlson6183]

LOVE IT! LOL

[@rsnj4501]

Noooo…don’t make us wait 😂

[@baronetessdawson]

Visesh is a Lovely Town! I still adore the treasure hunting. Darling, you simply get everything you want, regardless…henceforth…supporting…The Keeper of The Brocante! Voile! ❤

[@eileenmeenagh3900]

it is a wax floor polisher, you can put the wax on the floor and then buff it.

[@JaxonsDd007]

Floor buffer I believe it would have pads to clean floors

[@p.wesleyburrowsjr6576]

Thanks for sharing

[@AndreatheDoria]

Love that picture of Saint Theresa the little flower on the wall

[@marcel1813]

Yes Antique Shopping 👍

[@Rain-Peters]

Floor polisher.

[@ludovica8221]

Biscuit tins are awesome. the perfect cool dry air-tight place to store old photos and other light sensitive things. I have quite a few. some more than 100 years old

[@marthaabrahamson6813]

It's a lot of fun

[@peggyhemenger8983]

I've always preferred dusty cluttered antique shops, the prices are usually better and there's a feeling you might find that one spectacular buy! That being said, this shop is in pretty sad condition. I'd probably be looking over everything for mold and water damage.

[@dianenortness2131]

So glad to see you back with Billy. The videos are great!

[@susanbrown2909]

Floor polisher I’d say Ryan.

[@bradley2492]

Ryan You are such a good man !

[@stellaevans752]

Oh Ryan you are funny, the Brocante was falling down! and your right it is! Got some good stuff though I loved the ships trunk for 100 hundred euros and the copper pan, the Mors machine is a floor polisher, I agree with you on clearing the floor space and making some of these Brocantes tidier, it does make it hard to see all they have, great video, love love love you and Billy, xxxxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@VintageLPs]

Ohhh, I loved looking through that cluttered shop! So many things to see plus I especially liked the cobwebs on the spooky doll. 😂 There were several chairs and mirrors that would be hard to pass up. Thanks for taking us along. 🎉

[@Randy8923]

Enjoyed. Love the shopps dirty or clean.

[@sarahburton3110]

I love those old mannequins!!!

[@kkat54]

I'm afraid whatever condition those antiques are in now...they are going to detoriate further with that ceiling in that condition.

[@maryjane8321]

It was creepy.. but loved that second trunk...I have 5💕😇

[@kathywiseman7944]

I just found out last week that the reason the English made so many biscuit tins was because after the wars they retooled their factories to keep them open after making shells for the ammunition.

[@glennmcgee1729]

Oh no, cliffhanger. My money is on Ryyan's purchase of a steamer trunk or the adult mannequin to have fun with next Halloween.

[@CathyMiller0711]

That shop bordered on being a hoard! However, I'm sure it's fun to poke around and see what you can find. I hope you bought that wonderful copper pot! That looked like a floor polisher to me.

[@chrismarcotte4241]

So Happy you are Back in France! Love these videos in the shops!

[@beverley1539]

Hiya Ryan I believe that it is an old floor polisher. Oh I had same thoughts re the shop. See you later for the found treasures. Blessings luv Ontario Canada Thankyou 🐝🇨🇦

[@normamurray4450]

Oh my, I have the exact trunk...the wooden one that you mentioned as being "bare wood"...it has straps on it. Mine came from England when my grandfather emigrated here to Canada. Happy to see you and Billy made it out of that place without the roof falling in on you!

[@simoneparis7453]

I miss seeing you Ryan, Your behind the camera now , I miss your sense of humor and the excited you,I love what you do for billy but I hope you still do your own vlogs, with uncle Lee and family

[@hedgewood7152]

It looks like a wonderful place to rummage around. Great video!

[@petermacdonald9076]

Great to see different types of things bothe do a great job

[@johnwilson1163]

Hi Ryan, I remember you going there with Billy a long time ago. It doesn't seem to have changed much, but I'm glad you both found something worth buying.

[@ivysavage5569]

Look forward to seeing what you purchased at that Antique shop Ryan

[@emiishino5422]

The MORS contraption is a floor polisher.

[@helendudden9638]

I have collected Old dolls for years, my children say they are spooky.

[@staciamartin923]

Awesome Copper .The item is a floor buffer or polisher.

[@teresapatterson1253]

A floor polisher Ryan. Bristle pads to scrub the floor. Another pad to apply floor polish then lamb skin pads to buff the floor 😊

[@LCNWA]

Ryan, my father used the ole tins for keeping good screws etc. He had several saved tins over years or they don't make them like they used too!

[@julielumsden5184]

The ceiling is a bit scary I would think the owner would be concerned that everything thing above falls onto his inventory.

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

I love the exterior of the antique store but it doesn’t look hopeful on the inside. I’m glad you were able to find some treasures. It’s a shame how so many of the items are just tossed into piles. I hate to think of the possible critters running around amongst those piles. Fun vlog. xx

[@firstwavepuresoul]

It's lovely to go shopping with you two guys. I had one of these floor polishers back in the day. They were quite powerful and could scoot off on a tangent like they had a mind of their own and it would be hard to wrestle with it to stop it before it flew into the wall or cupboard..they were quite heavy. I got rid of it and got some chiropractic treatments!

[@john_ace]

Regarding the black wooden trunk: It is most likely a dowry trunk (Aussteuertruhe in German). We have several such trunks in the family and the one from my great grandaunt has Asian motives like the one shown. They are usually very robust for transport and often have wooden separators for multiple layers in them.

[@patricianewton4922]

It was an utter mess. The poor owners, do they need help??? I agree with Irene, floor polisher right off the bat!!

[@joannebolton1]

Oh my word that floor polisher took me back to my youth 🙄 lol we used to wax wooden floors and that machine would buff them...

[@hermannel1310]

Yes like everybody says, it is a floor polisher. My mother in South Africa also had one but . . . . what nobody mentioned is the the elbow grease part. You had to spend some time on your knees to first apply the floor polish before the polisher could do its job!

[@danieloutloud9151]

That seems to be a spider emporium , everything covered in webbing . Looks as though nothing's ever even touched or dusted until its purchased . Has the look of an abandoned warehouse . That ceiling has been leaking for a long time so I have to wonder if many of the water sensitive items might have damage . 🤔

[@jayreed7015]

I agree with Irene S. It's a floor polisher.

[@jamesmcneill2202]

It is places like that you can find a treasure or two! But geez with the building in that state nothing in it is going to be kept well. I’d want to tear it up and see if any treasures underneath the junk. These at least will be more preserved by all the junk on top of them🤣🤣. If not forgotten about.

[@gayfitkin6861]

that is one spooky antique shop Ryan LOL
