Hunting for Vintage Deals at a Hip, Urban, High-End Designer Mall!

Nashville, Tennessee is filling fast with mid-century modern collectors, and new stores are springing up devoted to vintage everything-clothes, studio pottery, designer furniture and fun, fab house decor! We've been anxious to see East Nashville Vintage Market ever since Laura Caldwell ‪@leftcoastrevivals‬ shopped here, and we have just a quick minute to try to find a bargain in a shop full of high-end collectibles.
This store has become a mecca for MCM wonderments, and it shows in some really great furniture-a designer Danish sideboard, a cute and scarce Witco frog ottoman, 1940s art deco side chairs-but there's so much more! A wall of brass accent pieces gives us pause to talk about what is good and what is better in brass, while a shelf of Frankoma Pottery demonstrates the difference between new and old. Fab 50s fiberglass lamps, some outrageous velvet paintings and 1930s Czech pottery that inspired later American pieces give us plenty to ponder.
But can we find anything our collectors like that we can afford to buy to flip? At the last minute, the answer is yes! Even in a high-end mall, there's always something that might have a different audience and different price point somewhere else. You'll have to watch to the end to see what we found, but it's headed with us to visit Laura at Rose City Vintage Market and her outdoor vendors in Portland, Oregon in mid-July!

[@jgbdenman1273]

I was “like” number 1000 !!! Usually I am earlier I recall Laura’s video of their shopping trip there. Thanks for taking us along, and your viewpoint. Safe travels.

[@lynncombel1106]

Thank youuuuu so much for my special delivery!!!! Can't wait to see you in September!!!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

You are so welcome!

[@deborahrowe5434]

Loved the elephant artwork

[@lisalynn1]

I learn so much thank you!!! I also wanted to say I just adore you both. You are such a handsome couple. BUT you have the most cute smile :)

[@missystgs8941]

Dad is gone now but he was a brass and copper restorer. He called it a lost art. He disliked imports. He collected American. I realized during a short visit that most of his pieces were utilitarian. 500 miles was the space between us so I missed out on his knowledge.

[@crittergirl3647]

Like the low green metal table at 0:57. Always love green or aqua metal stuff

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm a sucker for that color too

[@SisterShirley]

George, what a fun video; short and sweet.

[@lisbethmllegaard8437]

Love when you work the backdrop 😎

[@george.carrasco]

Fun video George! Thanks for sharing!

[@cheryljustice8213]

Great video George. I love your explanations of the pieces. I learn so much! Thank you!

[@christinaapplegate5281]

I like how Veno tests your knowledge holding up pieces. Guess the price? It’s fun.

[@deborahtambasco5493]

That was fun. I like the 2 tier lamp shades!

[@conniemoney4459]

OMG I spotted Avon Topaz yellow bottle and I was 8 years old and watching my mom getting ready for the day. Love it

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George! I liked that round birdcage. Never seen purple Tupperware. I might have had to get that one. Those aeroplane props have always interested me...just nowhere to put one. That looked like a fun place to browse, but the prices seemed to be more for window shopping 🙃 Thanks for the take-along!

[@janetpogue4970]

It would be fun to watch you, Barb And Jeffery shopping together. I've seen u on his videos from time to time. 😊

[@erinnkemp]

Great video George! We're heading to San Juan Bautista for Antique vintage shopping. Been itching to go shopping.😊😊

[@george.carrasco]

Great video George! Thanks for sharing!

[@dlday7821]

If you’re not making mistakes check your pulse. 😂. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks George and Xeno

[@dawnwesterbeck346]

FYI George, I push the notification button and did not get notified. I'm so sorry that the algorithm doesn't push you more!❤

[@carolzilko2643]

Yes, the brass was mostly Pakistani and Indian, but there was also Korean in there. My dad imported a lot of Korean brass in the 70s. The Korean is a little heavier than Indian or Pakistani. I didn’t see any Persian, which is always fine beautifully detailed.

[@giselawilliams1877]

Expensive cool stuff🥰

[@DynamiteDaynaD]

Thanks, George! Always good info!

[@mattaaronwalker88]

Thats ghe best velvet painting i have ever seen but holy crap the price

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes! And yes.

[@infinityryvus]

I definitely don't fault you for any mistakes you make. You have a fantastic mind for so many of these niche makers that I'm always impressed. The few areas I concentrate my learning efforts on still have tons of blind spots that I either can't find good information about because of one reason or another, or have so many forms and variants within a subsection that memorizing them becomes a task all its own. You manage very well, and I'm always grateful for any and all of the information about lesser known makers. I often run into their work and know its from an era that my own knowledge touches on, but I have no ability to accurately research the origin. Watching your videos plants little seeds that I go back to quite often.

[@teresaweaver1012]

I have liked brass ever since I starting buying incense burners and small brass animals for my bedroom in the early 70s. I still like brass, but flying by the seat of my pants when it comes to picking it up, unless it's marked or stamped. So, i just buy what I like and can afford. I do, know English brass when I see it. I bought a set of barley twist candlesticks and a coffee table box with a big bumble bee finial that are marked English...$5 for CS, $4 for CTB at a yard sale. They are shinier than the other brass, and don't seem to patina as fast. Another great vid brother George! ✌

[@janetpogue4970]

Great store because of the wide variety of items.

[@kathleencallaghan4867]

Thank you for all the info. On the brass items.

[@sharonchartier1592]

Great episode,always a learning experience!

[@peggyfiedler1556]

Thanks for your honesty and integrity!

[@beckyc.5743]

George, this video is fantastic. I appreciate the cut-aways and the details you provide about various pieces. It’s very helpful! The kitsch market has gone crazy and certain age groups are paying astronomical prices for some vintage items. I just can’t throw my money at it when there are good antiques that are beautifully crafted that I can buy instead.

[@Upcycle4U]

Thank you

[@barbaragahimer2314]

I love brass I loved all the BRASS ❤

[@dorisbern6539]

George I really enjoyed this adventure you're right it wasn't a place to Resill but Some neat stuff!!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

[@elderlypoodle9181]

I bought a vintage brass eagle to hang on my front door from Jeffrey.

[@patricialyle1656]

As always, great video!!❤

[@dtruetheeness]

I found a brass unicorn. Very dramatic, on it's hind legs.

[@winluvwinluv3734]

I have that same Haeger couple in beige.

[@leahclo4857]

It's so fun to see you in Nashville!! Hope to see you next time you visit.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes me too!

[@rhondacrouse73]

When you were looking at the pottery - it reminded me to ask you - how does one identify Raku pottery? I had never heard of it until I saw the Niche Lady and the Crazy Lamp Lady mention it. Thank you. JoAnn

[@Upcycle4U]

😂that caribou story😂😂

[@tonib.3016]

Hi George! I always enjoy your shopping expeditions! I dont think you should always turn down things that have a tiny crack or slight damage tho TBH!!! As long as you're honest about the imperfection,alot of folks could care less...you get a deal and they get a good deal. For example that cute flamingo item for 12$...😊someone would have bought that for double what you paid and wouldnt care at all that it wasnt perfect. Was an adorable bathroom accessory esp for Florida. With age comes cracks,bruises wrinkles etc haha 😂😂😂 thats life!!!

[@funnygirlinstumptown]

what a great store! so many fun pieces. thanks george and xeno ✌🏼

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

You bet!

[@elderlypoodle9181]

Oh!!! I gave our Danish teak piece like that away in the 90s and I’m sick about it. I really enjoy Xenos guess the price

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I understand, I undersold a Dansk tray once not knowing better either! I like Guess the Price too

[@jeremyrobbins8033]

I'm dubious of the accuracy of the Frank Willett label. The piece looks like SDW, Stoneware Designs West. I just went through a lot of riggamarole about the confusion between Raul Coronel's studio and SDW with a fella named Mike Hickman. This piece in the video @13:30 looks like Robert Maxwell.

[@sallyward3791]

East Nashville was never known as the place to shop.....unless you were flipping an old house 20 years ago. We lived in Belle Meade and my Grandparents would take me to Franklin with them to marvelous antique stores. She spent 56 years collecting her dining room set. Go to Franklin next time and take a hankie for the drooling!!!!

[@bluebelle9572]

Take a hankie 😂 sounds like a fun trip though!

[@rkevghas]

I think the table with the piece underneath is for a lady's purse while she enjoys a snack

[@janetpogue4970]

Nice shop even if u didn't have much time.

[@OriginalNethead]

Damaged, painted, etc... I'd go 10 cents on the dollar, max. And that's retail; I wouldn't buy a damaged modern vase for resale unless it was incredibly special. Buy it to mess with myself, maybe. The phone book whatsit looked useful; every time someone loses their phone they wish they had number written down!

[@chriswitt2596]

I really think brass and also much of the mid-century modern stuff is slowly on its way out. Do not have any idea what's going to replace it but I think people are getting tired of wood and brass.

[@borderlass101]

In the U.K brass has has its day the young folks can't be bothered polishing it..😢

[@janetpogue4970]

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@lisalynn1]

🤣🤣🤣The book ends comment

[@erinnkemp]

When selling brass. Do you polish or not to polish?

[@conniesax3529]

There prices were a little steep!

[@sharlynebeach2786]

Hi George. You mentioned that brass is coming back in style again. What is your opinion about milk glass?

[@sandymiller110]

I collect Frankie’s, and didn’t know they were still producing new things. Are they still in Sapulpa?

[@pammywhammy3521]

😅❤👍

[@elderlypoodle9181]

I only know I want a caribou head on my front door! But it must have died of influenza! Or they ate it.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm that way too

[@goldenviolet]

I can't believe that black velvet painting is going $400.00. Wow that's awesome. 😮😮😮

[@wendywright5486]

420 u gotta be stoned to pay it😂

[@cecoya]

We all make mistakes and I can't call you on anything either. This "vintage mall" was extremely overpriced in my opinion and all I could do was cough on the prices of some of that stuff. It was some nice stuff but not worth all that. Have a great day and safe trip

[@luvinlife90]

Unfortunately Nashville is priced for tourists not locals...
