EP92 French Antiques Auction , Antique Sale , A Break From Renovation

French Antiques Auction , A Break From Renovation
It has been non stop and we are both tired but Edd's back needed an afternoon off !
So we went on a little date !
An Antique Sale in the near by Auction House .
It was also a way to give so many of you a little break from renovation :) and something else to see
So if you love antiques ... from cabinets , paintings , mirrors , armoires ...
Over the years we have found so many amazing pieces in the auction house
What we love about it is getting something for less as no one wants it or seeing that sometimes pieces go for so much more or the opposite don't sell at all ...
Edd has his eye on something beautiful will he be able to get it or will someone else outbid him ...
Huge Thank You to everyone for their Love & Support x
Special Thank You to all of our amazing Patrons x

Wow for some reason I really like that elegantly reading painting. A lot.

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

The library steps! !!!!

[@lilirehak5569]

Edd, you should have bought the library steps for Anna and the kids! Very nice video. Need to see more of the beautiful and stylish Anna.

[@taitweigel64]

Anna always encourages and compliments Ed. I find it endearing.

[@BordeauxLife]

Thank you xx

[@chrismaraccini8108]

Every man needs a Anna.

[@ehpeachylove]

lol

[@ehpeachylove]

I meant to say they have a wonderful relationship.

[@chattykathie7129]

She is and he isn’t

[@edsamson401]

He may say, he buys nothing for you but in reality everything is for your happiness, including yours. It’s a subvertive way of looking at it and of loving you at the same time. He is simply being sneaky about it.

[@bunnymaurer5164]

I think sometimes Ed is thoughtless toward Anna. She's a hard worker and I admire her.

[@WatZouJeHiervanVinden]

No its les romantic as it seems: in my country they call this: marryd whit cold paper(this says all) His parents the house was from: and always stays that way( thats ok and good) but all HE buys on his card: believe me thats also always his, not hers. Iam happy iam not married anymore to my ex for this reason: woman need to work (also) for theirselves: not only to make their husband better! And believe me it feels extremely cheap to only smile and never have the final word to buy something you just like :(

[@seachange17]

Perhaps Anna needs to work her tail off at another wedding business so she can go ahead and freely bid & buy things that interest her. We all need to live with things we love and we all should earn, save and spend our own money.

[@boessheila50]

Ed certainly is a smart guy. He suggests things that he knows Anna would love and as much as he would. Yes. They both have a loving respect for each other. Ur a great couple. Working so hard restoring Mansions!!!

[@bethanyshepherd6454]

Good Lord… why does it always seem like Ed is so rude to Anna? For the last few videos I keep thinking it’s all in my head, but low and behold he’s inconsiderate or just plain rude to her again. How upsetting to witness. Anna is so sweet!!!!

[@bernardlegendre4884]

Great.. so many precious items .... A very interesting auction.Thanks a lot for sharing your discoveries and "coups de coeur" ❤

[@deborahmarion9038]

Thanks for taking us along. The carpet was so beautiful, I can’t believe no one wanted it. So many beautiful items, most out of my budget but, it’s still fun to experience an auction full of so many amazing things.

EDD... "You're not buying anything!" 😝🙄 Anna, you have the patience of a Saint darling.

[@JC-qb3wx]

Anna, I subscribed today because I think you are such a genuine, lovely lady. You are so kind and considerate of others. These qualities make your vlogs really enjoyable. Thank you and wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas from Australia 💗

[@esthercutts4318]

What a fun vlog - So interesting and amazing how the prices vary depending on who's attending or what they're looking for . Thanks for taking us along Ed and Anna. You're such fun!! xx

[@lesyaa7428]

Great!

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Beautiful items especially that rug 🥰

[@munashubber9177]

That is a beautiful and really reasonably priced, silk Persian carpet made in tabriz. Tabriz is very well known as the world centre of carpet weaving. Tabriz rugs usually have ivory backgrounds with blue, rose,and indigo motifs. They often feature symmetrical and balanced designs. They usually have a single medallion that is surrounded by vines and palmettos. The good rug is valued by its weaving style and the number of the knots that used in the weaving. Silk rugs usually very expensive and most of the time they are hanged on the walls like tapestries. And that is not a signature, it is the name of the style (old cherbani).

[@MicheleLRid]

This was really fun and educational! Thanks for taking us along!!

[@BordeauxLife]

You are welcome. xx

[@andrewcowman8731]

Another joyous trip. Thank you guys

[@normamurray4450]

You are truly a lovely couple....so supportive of each other, even though Edd can be a brat a times! All good!

[@candacedandrea5677]

Is that the word BRAT

[@seachange17]

Brat, maybe rat.

[@normamurray4450]

@@seachange17 Brat as in a downright tease?

[@seachange17]

@@normamurray4450 not so sure: brat & rat. I admire Ed immensely for his talents and intelligence. This blog is fascinating. I grew up in a historic home and have restored older homes. My mom was an antiques dealer and I'm a designer so their endeavors and talents are appreciated. My impression is Ed doesn't allow Anna equal partnership (gives a little but he prioritizes the decisions and money). Frankly it's none of my business, it's their marriage. I like both of them and the vlog is wonderful.

[@normamurray4450]

@@seachange17 No malice intended. They are a great couple as I've said before.

[@xoradiantloveox]

Really enjoyed a peak into auction house there in France. Considering that I'm in the US, it's very interesting to consider costs/age of the pieces. I'm on the hunt for an old persian rug, and I find that rugs are often discarded here. fingers cross I get lucky! Congrats on the chairs, you two have made lovely refurbished/reupholstery projects before. Keep up the happy spirit : )

[@sdmsdm7926]

Great idea to do these auction videos, totally enjoyable! So many beautiful items!

[@NatiHerron]

The auction was very interesting. I can't wait to see the chairs, Anna. I'm in love with that carpet!!

[@nigelirmamaher5811]

Yes, I’ve seen that on Antiques Roadshow that often the bows are worth so much more than the violins.

[@snoopybluejeans]

That was a fantastic video. Thanks for filming it, Educational and fun in one. I was also pleasantly pleased, to not watch Edd breaking his back with concrete pouring. It was nice to see him stand straight and get a rest-lol Merry Christmas Anna, Edd and Family. Wishing you a healthy, happy and prosperous, New Year. Cheers!

[@mariaabraham311]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Sure learnt a lot, love all the information talking about the pieces so interesting & fun! Thanks Edd & Anna!!!❤️🇨🇦

[@claudetteleblanc5273]

That was very enjoyable to watch. Thank you.

The dressing table with the ornate mirror.. would love that for your bedrooms!

[@shakeradio]

great video and brilliant idea to follow items until final sale! well done, enjoyed watching this video! Cheers. 🙏

[@amycoffin826]

This video was really fascinating. We were introduced to such beautiful pieces of history. Then, we were surprised at the auction values and sales. 'Glad that Anna found a few bargains that she liked.

[@dionbarber7077]

One thing that amazes me about any of the furniture pieces you show at the brocantes are at an amazing price. Here in the US if you go to an antique furniture store they have a price about three or four times higher than you have on them in France. But our paintings are cheaper over here than what they sell for over there. We are so sad that you move have to sell your home. It is so beautiful. We are praying there will be a way that you will be able to keep it. Love your videos.

[@deborahdoll4111]

Great video. I’m jealous of French armoire prices. I paid 1,200 dollars for a double walnut one 35 years ago.you have amazing prices there. Low inventory here. Ohio USA

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

I loved those two horse paintings! I’m so happy Anna got something. She does so much so she deserves to buy something she likes. But Edd, I was hoping you could get at least one of the horse paintings. Maybe in your brocante visits you will find an exceptional painting hiding behind some furniture at a very cheap price. I love searching for hidden treasures in antique stores. Fun video!! Hope you both had time for a nice lunch at a cafe! 💕💕💕

[@jeffharris8107]

I love this vlog. So interesting. I hope you can do more.

[@janetgrimbeek180]

Wow that was wonderful thanks so much

[@maynardgreenhouse]

Oh my comparable furniture like that here in the US would go for 10 times those prices. Brand new armoires from Pottery barn and restoration hardware go for 3k+ and lack style. You are so lucky to live in a land of exquisite home interiors. Yes please more of these auction and brocante videos

[@PrRomay]

I hope you got the steps for your library, I fancy that also Anna.

[@deniereynolds6119]

Anna you’ve should get all the gifts a girl of your caliber can endure. You seem so humble and accommodating and very well loved by your viewers.

[@amandaestellehugo8139]

Thank you for taking us along to the French auction. Id have snapped up the carpet. It would make a great piece in an entrance room under a beautiful chandelier.

[@Kiwi_2001]

Loved this vlog! Very interesting to see the prices. Just FYI, Erard pianos are marketed as "the finest pianos in the world" and old, rare or art-case examples are worth 10s of thousands of USD (Chopin owned an Erard). The one you looked at is from the 1920s and would retail, unrestored for about €10,000. @8:20 this is not a desk it is a mid-19th-century English dressing table without its mirror, which is, I think, why they placed the beautiful 18th-century mirror where the original would have been. If it was a writing desk it would have had a writing surface probably made of inlaid leather. The drawer stacks, either side, was a common design feature and the support brackets for the mirror would have been attached to the top of each stack.

[@maynardgreenhouse]

I thought the price of the desk was more than reasonable. I would have been thrilled to get the mirror for the going price of 320 🤗

[@Kiwi_2001]

@@maynardgreenhouse Yes, I agree. 😀 The prices seemed very reasonable. I even think the auction prices for the two equestrian paintings were very reasonable considering the quality of both the paintings & the beautiful frames.

Remember, painting, especially when you don't know the subject, I for covering up the empty spot on the wall! If you know them, or have been to that place, or plan on going to that place, baby, treasure!! I do like the way you're showingthe treasures ahead of the auction.

When the 100 000 franc carpet didn't sell I watched the woman in the brown coat in front of you. I noticed her shoulders were shaking with laughter.

[@kathleenhuguenin7791]

Interesting pricing for some real period pieces. Helps to know the values and to follow. Rug was and probably still is worth what it was to someone however not worth buying to find out. Investment piece perhaps. Relaxing day to compare unique auction listings. Entertaining Sunday Vlog! Dig the accent on the Auctioneer!

That was fun. Merci! It’s amazing the prices for items depending on the venue. I love the paintings with countryside scenes, marquetry wood furniture, and burl wood furniture. So many other beautiful pieces. I’m in the states (middle east coast) and was shocked at how cheap furniture and chandeliers went for at a Los Angeles brocante (Vloger video) compared to here.

[@anonymousonlineuser6543]

French Frank to Dollar (there was no Eur) was around 1:8.6 in the 1990s so the carpet was estimated at 11,000 USD originally. Original price tag was left there on purpose of course. At a larger auction today it could have sold for $ 3-5,000 . At 1800 + commission it was a bit of a bargain for 100% silk carpet.
