EPIC MID-CENTURY MALL & ANTIQUE SHOWROOM! | RESELL & SHOP WITH ME

[@rosamerla1534]

Omg chandeliers, mirrors, blue and white porcelain, where to sit and stare at the beauty.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It's a really incredible store!

EPIC video George! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

My pleasure! This is one of the best MCM malls around

[@Deborah4Antiques]

My wealthy American aunt & uncle had decorated my cousins bedroom around a white Baby Grand. I'd never seen anything like this room. My cousin was a sweet girl and her interests took her to Botany and she had very little interest in anything posh. She just retired after a long fulfilling career as a botanist! Go after your heart & heads desire! I'm watching your new vids. and old over the holidays! 🤗 Peace.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That’s a true story! I have botanist friends who love the outdoors and mainly use their indoors as greenhouses. I like both of those worlds

[@mjmj2860]

Thanks for the fun show George another good one!!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Glad you enjoyed it, I sure did!

[@evandegenfelder4554]

Only six minutes in and I have to say great job with the camera, not flipping back and forth, up down to make the viewer dizzy. Thanks. Lots of great stuff here!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hi George! I just want to express my appreciation for the smoothness and low speed of panning the camera. I love this style of video but so many people move around too fast and/or spin around and I have to quit a couple of minutes in because I get motion sickness watching on my TV. So I thank you! CLL is good about it too, though I typically can't watch the flea market ones. You have so much knowledge about so many things, your experience shows!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thanks, Dawn! I"ve learned to slow down, you have to be more deliberate than you think with the camera

[@wrightselections]

@@TheAntiqueNomad well I (and I'm sure others) appreciate it! ❤️

[@constance4105]

Hi, just a FYI. The driftwood wasn't driftwood. It looked like either a limestone stalactite or a stalagmite with branches containing vugs or small cavities filled with small crystals if anything. The limestone could have coated a branch, similar to the petrification of trees in our West. Easy to make the mistake. In many countries collecting these from limestone caves has become illegal because it takes millions of years to create one the size that was in the armoire. Limestone droplets fall, leaving a minuscule layer of limestone on the top (stalactite: it must hold on tight) and creating the limestone stalagmites (you might trip over it). Someone filled the little vugs with large crystal formations for effect, making the piece more interesting. The original crystals would probably be tiny, druzy inclusions. Thanks for reading. I love your channel.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's terrific information! I absolutely see that now that you point it out. I'm going to try to pin this comment so others can see and learn as well. I do love caving and should've probably realized it, but missed it in this context

[@hotrodswoodshed7405]

You do a really good job with your camera work George. Sad to say too many people couldn't take a picture to save their life. You do a GOOD job

I recently toured a decked out vintage house (it’s a tourist destination in my area) and learned that wardrobes became popular, at least around me, because houses were taxed per room number and closets counted as rooms. If you had a wardrobe instead of a closet, well you wouldn’t be taxed as much! 😁

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's true! To this day, a room without a built-in closet cannot be called a bedroom for real estate listings

From the look of it, you could spend days looking in there and still not see all of it. I thought the video wasn't going to upload, so I gave up on it...should've hung around a bit longer.

But, I bought that Jet Magazine on Emmett Till (I actually bought 2) 1 of them you & Zeno showed. They're my new prized possessions thanks to you both. I was mostly amazed that Jet Magazine in 1955 was so daring to take on or even talk about the KKK during the Jim Crow era. My next collectable will be the book about the Jim Crow Black Laws or Rules.

The carved walnut head was absolutely beautiful! Do you happen to remember the price? The folding brass topped table I have always referred to as a Damascus table, not sure if that term is right or not. Love the French armoire being converted to a display cabinet. The bronze of the hammer thrower!! Very much to my taste. I imagine that would have been pricey! The brass display cabinet is very much my taste too. The painting of the handsome young man by a Canadian artist again, very much to my taste. Your booth looks incredible! Sorry this comment is so long! So much wonderful stuff!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Damascus table...I've heard them called that too, since they're made throughout that region I think that's an acceptable term. I'm glad you enjoyed so much there, it's quite an incredible place! The hammer thrower was tremendous, and I must say the walnut head was really studied...I think it was $350? I own and apparently am too fond of the handsome man painting, it's been with me awhile now

There's several different varieties of rosewood. Some are much more endangered than others. In years past I've seen hardwood floor out of Indian Rosewood. Fairly common in fact. Extremely hard! Over the years Rosewood in general is getting more difficult to find.

That's true, I understand there are soft wood varieties in India that are low value but used for carving Sheesham furniture

2009 reading a book about Thomas Moser furniture, was a big inspiration for a change of Direction in my furniture making. We're all of the nice things I've made in the last 10 years, all of my Oak / cherry pieces definitely give a nod toward my reading of that book.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hi Rod! After seeing the Adirondack chair you made, I imagine you must have been inspired to those types of designs. I didn't realize there was a book about Moser, but it makes sense. I'm always appreciative of people who get that form and style should follow function, I know Moser was always careful to measure chair arm heights so they'd still fit under a dining table, for example
