Collecting Dressing Table Antiques

[@brendasoler4759]

What a lovely collection! I love to see collections of these types of personal items; interesting to think about the ladies who used them!

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

That is an interesting thought!

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

I absolutely love the moth that you made from the button hook handle, that was genius! Amazing collection. Hugs, Joanne

[@lisachasteen1487]

You have a simply beautiful collection I love seeing it wish we could see it again in a future video. I do enjoy when you flip through the magazines and show your collections. Thank you for sharing. Lisa

[@shirleyemrick1700]

FYI, they make a liquid rust remover. You can either wipe it on or let the item soak. It dissolves the rust down to the metal . Works great on all types of metal. When the rust is removed, you can clear coat the item and it won’t rust again. I use it to remove the rust from decorative tins. You can find it in the paint department.

[@momof4kids735]

What great advice. I have stayed away from those tins and other items because I honestly didn’t know you could remove the rust without harming the item. Thanks so much ❤️

[@HomeMadeVintage]

What a beautiful collection you have! I also have a love for antique/vintage vanity items!

[@compactgirl]

They're so beautiful, if only we could know what stories they hold. Love it.

Just beautiful! Thank you for sharing this awesome collection 💜

[@lovemyhomelife2152]

That magazine fits you to a "T" ! You've curated quite the collection. 🙂 Unfortunately, I don't find things like that in my area. Wonderful video! TFS❤

[@janetgies8698]

Absolutely Fantastic sterling handles & button hooks! Darling lace moth. Beautiful crystal bottles.

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

Thank you!!

[@kparker5090]

Another great collection.

I remember seeing tear catchers in movies. I bought a modern day one several years ago. I wouldn't doubt that's what it's for. They were a dramatic people, after all. ♡

Really enjoyed seeing the boudoir items you have collected...I have always loved small antique caskets! Loved your button hooks and beautiful jars!

[@redvermeerc]

So beautiful. Dressing table or vanity items are probably one of the 1st vintage items I had my eyes on when I was little and I still love it today. You have a wonderful collection!

[@suzannelawson9215]

My goodness, you picked up so many beautiful pieces! Really lovely items!

[@anaconcessabingham8405]

When your rooms are decorated with your treasures, they could easily be part of a magazine article and even the cover.

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

Thank you

[@debbiemitchell6055]

I am painting a beautiful girl at her dressing table with a window & clawfoot bathtub in the background. Your items will help me decide what to include on the table. I thought a powder/puff and a perfume for sure, thank you for some inspiration.

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

I’d love to see your painting.

beautiful collection, thanks for sharing!

[@fififirestone3787]

Thank you! I'm enjoying these deeper dives into your collections. Such beautiful, intriguing items.

[@suzismith9681]

What a beautiful collection you have. It is wonderful to see what lady's did in times past , the care they took to make everyday items special. Coty perfume bottles, the early ones were made in France, (in those days pre 1950s) you had to travel to France to purchase french perfume. Not like now. But you probably know that. Lol Ps the glassmaker was lalique.

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

I did not know that about the Cory perfumes! Wow!

@9:24 🤩💖 Some of these antique glass laydown bottles held Rose Of Otto Or Rose Attar oil. I love the little zipper cuts in the glass. Gorgeous!! It is so hard to find them with their original stoppers in them.

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

I did not know the term for the side cuts. I’m always drawn to the zipper cut design.

Wright’s silver polish will bring your lovely sterling and silver plate back to life. Nice collection!

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

Yes!! I love Wright’s. This summer I tried the natural way too. With boiling water, salt, baking soda , and aluminum foil. That was actually a really fun science experiment to do with the kids.

[@sondracumberland3401]

Thank you for sharing your lovely collection.

[@IrishAnnie]

My great grandmother was so little. She had the legs of a chair in her bedroom cut down. She needed to be able to button up her shoes and most chairs were too tall for her.

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

Wow! That’s a great story. Gives me an idea if I find a chair and need to make it smaller.

[@marygough6554]

All of your videos are wonderful, but informative ones like this and the sewing notions one are especially fabu!

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

[@jodisampson4508]

I love all your vintage dressing table things, so beautiful! I have never even seen a button hook before, I always learn something when watching your videos. I have my Grandmas dressing table set,fancy hand mirror,comb and brush.I display it on my dresser next to my moms jewelry box.I got the idea from you to display the jewelry box open,it looks so nice with my Grandmas pearls hanging on it,and my other Grandmas handkerchiefs sitting inside.Grandma will be 101 in april.Thank you for such an interesting video!

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

That’s wonderful! Sounds like a beautiful display.

[@auntie_kristie]

Absolutely loved this video! I enjoyed learning more about vintage vanity items. You have a wonderful collection!! 🤩

[@judithsperling1599]

I love that moth! I have some of these old button hooks and files that were either missing the implement or are in very bad shape. Would you consider doing a tutorial on how to make one? I'd love to display it with my collection. Another idea for you that I have seen is to cut the tip off to where it is hollow and make a tussy mussy out of it. Thanks for your great videos.

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

I’ve seen the tussy mussy idea. For the moth I just cut out wings and glued them on top. Then glue a pearl at the top. For the legs I bent gold paper clips. That’s it.

[@judithsperling1599]

@@TarnishedTreasures1 Thanks so much, I'll give it a try!

[@myhappynest6125]

I love Victorian collectibles. I have a few scent bottles and a button hook. Btw, the button hook is great for pulling up your boot zippers😊

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

That is a great idea. I have had a few boots that I have rubbed my fingers raw pulling the zippers up.

I love your vanity pieces. The moth is wonderful. I love your collection of button-hooks. I love the jar with the glass lid. My mother liked the word primping...she used it often. I was always accused of primping when I was a teenager.

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

Weren’t we all accused of that?! Lol

[@IrishAnnie]

I bought jewelry caskets like those. I got them for a good price as they had no linings. I relined them and gave them to my friends for Christmas. They loved them.

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

Wow. That’s a thoughtful gift!

[@elizabethscruggs1622]

Wow. Thank you for sharing that. You have a beautiful collection. I have my great aunts sterling silver hand mirror and brush and its beautiful. I love all yours but the bottles are my favorite especially the long teardrop bottle.

[@ccmarcum]

The small bottles at the end of this video were bottles to carry smelling salts or perfumes in your reticule, or ''purse'' when you went out. The purse would have been kept closed with drawstrings.

[@jackiewale5206]

boudoir , derives from from the french verb ‘to pout or to sulk ‘ it was often called the ‘sulking room ‘ which I love . I painted my bedroom / dressing room ( sulking room pink) by farrow & Ball, I’m always searching for beautiful old dressing table antiques .you have some beautiful things .x

[@PamelaBlanchard]

It is amazing to me the prices they are asking on Etsy & EBay for the Ormolu Jewelry Caskets and the Satin gold ones as well! Some of the ones I looked at were $150!!! I'm going to be looking for those when I'm out shopping and you were smart to start your collection early. I believe remember when you found those first two little jars with the sterling tops. They are still favorites of mine because of their size and that you found them so in expensive. The powder jars 😵😵😵. Okay, the button hooks and the Victorian tear catcher are another fav of all times for me of the things you've found! 😂💙. I loved and enjoyed seeing all of these shown all together.

Rust can be removed from the steel portion of the implements. Start with the finest steel wool. Its fun to do. A little olive oil at the end.

[@shopvintageflicker]

Love love seeing this. I just changed up my dresser and added all my Art Deco vanity trays and assorted containers. It certainly feels more decadent and I'm more inclined to use what's on my dresser now. I think I might need to get a copy of Victorian magazine, looks right up my street.

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

Up your street!! Love it.

[@conniemullins8228]

The cone shaped bottle that you said was for catching tears is probably a scent bottle but is missing its metal collar and lid like the other cut scent bottle you have. Over time, the adhesive that held these metal collars on sometimes started to deteriorate and just slid off. You're lucky you still have the dauber. Beautiful pieces!!!

I've heard of tear catchers being for widows. To literally show how much they had mourned. But I thought they were worn as necklaces.

Loving these articles and seeing them in real life. The work on the lids is beautiful love the face. The gold coloured ones I wonder if you would call it silver gilt. After watching your sewing notions video a man called Clay Rammage had a video celebrating his first year on you tube. He talks about his good finds one of which is a Queen Anne ( I think) sewing hoop it's only small and they were on ebay for over $200. He has a link to the video where he talks about it (it's towards the end about the 7 mark from memory) one to look out for on your travels.

Hi. I am also a vanity items collector and have been for years. I have so many, I switch them out so that I can display them at different times. I have some for every day use and them glitter when I polish the silver. The Victorian magazines are fun to look at. I may subscribe to them. Do you plan to collect more? Happy collecting! 😊😊

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

I went to the thrift store last Friday looking for some vanity items but the prices were not right. I did receive about 12 new Victoria magazines. Well not new but new to me. I can’t wait to read through them all.

[@gloriahanes6490]

Rust can be buffed off of these pieces on a buffing wheel, many items were given to my husband to buff on the machine with a brass buffing wheel... good as new ! Or, just try liquid rust remover on the metal and the rust can be rinsed off and buff the metal with a soft cloth.

You certainly have some very nice Victorian pieces. I would think a dressing vanity would be a dream any young lady would wish for. The smelling fragrance bottle might have been carried in a purse and taken out when the street aromas were overwhelming. The horses and carriages left smelly droppings. People emptied chamber pots curbside. Sanitation wasn’t so well developed. Businesses put out some harsh pollution too.
