Look Out for These Fakes! | Shopping for Antiques & Vintage Deals

I'm so excited to be doing the appraisal fair at Jewel Antique Mall this Sunday that I thought we should preview the jewels within! Shop with me in Belleair Bluffs, Florida (near St. Pete-Clearwater) for antiques & vintage at this antique mall full of little rooms, each with their own flavor and personality.
There's a sale on Sunday too, so we're mostly scouting in this one...but a few things are too good to take a chance on leaving! Designer modernist furniture to 1930s platonite glass, antique Roseville Dutch ware to some really lovely objects that once graced homes in the posh adjoining enclave town of Belleair...there's lots here to make this a fun visit.
There's a lot of veteran antique and vintage dealers here, plus some fun and surprising finds from resellers who've moved from online only to real world selling. What's banned from eBay is still sometimes to be found in a venerable antique mall that has stood the test of time.

My Daughter is 32 and because of myself and her stepdad, she loves old furniture. She grew up with our house that was built in the later 1800’s. It had a tavern which I opened as a tea shop. I made all my own teas and desserts. I used all vintage teapots and cups. This is when she got a love for old furniture and glassware.

The little girl's outfit at 16:00 looks like a christening outfit

[@s.f.8867]

16:20: Considering the size of the shoes this seems to be more likely a christening gown for girls or even boys.

[@roxanneswanson4500]

Hi just thought to point out the item you called little girls dress for Easter in the frame on the wall was a Baptism gown for boy or girl baby.

[@LindaKayHolevas]

My grandfather was a rockhound. He & my grandmother traveled all over the world rock hounding. One of my favorite memories from my childhood was working out in the shop with him. He’d let me use his tumbler to polish rocks, etc. He made beautiful opal jewelry, along with other stones. I was always in awe of his crystal & rock collection. I wish I would’ve asked more questions back then because it’s such a fascinating thing to do, but I was only six or seven years old. Anyway, I loved that you showcased the rocks & crystals. Thank you! xo

[@dtruetheeness]

I agree wholeheartedly with passing on as much information as you can about things to collectors.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes! Honest representation keeps people interested

[@lisak161]

Absolutely. Nothing frustrates me more than sellers who know NOTHING about what they're selling and almost expect the buyers to educate them. Especially on Whatnot🙄

[@DynamiteDaynaD]

A book trough! How cool! I've never seen or known that kind of furniture existed.

[@sheila8730]

I love it too. I don't remember seeing one before. I will have to look for one.

[@kathygolden2103]

I love listening to your comments about the items you see. Your channel is informative and your voice is so easy to listen to. Hope to meet you someday. Thank you for doing this work.

[@VickieV1333]

I’m addicted to your videos! You give us so much information, thank you❣️

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm so glad to get to share all this great stuff!

[@tinakercher8768]

What a cool antique mall! Do you think that baby gown could have been a christening dress?

[@susanalfieri4487]

I thought the same thing, Tina.

[@joycleckley2881]

I have collected christening gowns for many years. Machine made lace was exported from Switzerland in 1860's. Have the same thoughts as you ladies, believe that to be a christening ensemble. Being mostly all handmade, called love clothes because of the time involved in making. I would snap this up in a heartbeat if lived closer. Many warmer climates made an 18 inch skirt version length. Love his videos❤. Have a blessed days.

[@evelynfidler6285]

I was confused by the way they displayed it

[@dorothyrobdau7365]

The little girls white dress was most likely a Christening gown.

[@MC-qb1jg]

This is the perfect time to mix decorative pieces.Ill never forget my Chanelle bedspread as a little girl.

[@sherifink9737]

Disappointed that you did not show any fake items as the title stated.

The harp is really nice.

[@lucyposton5032]

You know it all and that's why we love to listen to you. But I have to say when you don't know you say so and say you need to research it.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I want to be honest about what I do and don't know! I learn from other people that way

[@francesh3423]

Thank you, George! I found a Roseville Donatello vase quite awhile ago not knowing what it was (before I learned about Google lens) and picked it up for $2.99 because despite 2 chips and a small hairline crack, it was just so interesting. I grabbed it but held onto it because of what you spoke on regarding seller's responsiblity to be knowledgeable about their items. With the damage, I won't make a huge profit, but I'll now be able to accurately describe it.

[@mghayes9489]

Thank you for taking me on this tour to see all these beautiful things. ❤

[@BayouBelleVintiques]

I have to admit I do launder my linens....soaking them isn't all that difficult and I've restored some badly stained linens that will fetch much more money than before.

[@lynnedelacy2841]

Another great video such a variety of ‘fancy’ stuff I love the look of a pop of fancy in a more restrained decor And as always the depth of your knowledge never fails to astound

[@susandesilets6320]

Your knowledge always amazes me. Some of those Victorian pieces are stunning. I especially loved the hand painted lamp shade with stand. I thought the price was great. Also that small cabinet in the same booth was gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. I look forward to everyone of your videos. You never disappoint.😊

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

The lamp was a favorite of a few viewers! I'm glad I could do this with you. :)

[@tammyreneewalker5244]

I agree about the price of new bedding. Chenille is such a great way to go for placing over an older chair or as a topper. It is hard to find queen & king sizes, however you could layer it to work. Thank you for another informative video, George!🩷

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

On a chair! Great idea. Thank you too

[@dy9278]

Your vast knowledge of so many genres and periods is most impressive 👏 The lemonade insight is hysterical 🤣

[@TinaLouise528]

My favorite is the 3 tier lamp with hand painted glass shade.

Thanks, George. You are my go-to for learning about antique glassware.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Great to hear!

[@sherrymckay5184]

Ammolite is found more by Lethbridge than Calgary . Friends of mine farm near Lethbridge . They found a pretty nice piece of it on their farm .

[@laurieolk5643]

Your knowledge is encyclopedic George. I always appreciate your channel for that. There are some that call things they aren't, throwing a lot into Art Nouveau or something. We get a lot of dealers in the EAPGS group wanting an ID, for pieces from last half of the 20th century. Knowledge really is power.

There were a couple of the display cases that I like in this place. You have a great day and thanks for sharing

[@agomodern]

I've been saying the exact same thing about 80s Santa Fe style. It's been pretty much forgotten, but I could see it coming back. As a dealer it's kind of frustrating because there is so much out there that will come back at some point, but no point in investing in it because you just don't know exactly when that will be. Sadly, I pass up stuff I actually like but just isn't valuable yet. I just saw a 1980s catalog of companies that designed or wholesaled Santa Fe style. Thanks to this video, I'm now regretting that I didn't pick it up. :/

[@janetpogue4970]

They have a welcoming shop!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

It was nice to go through a mall that had a lot of neat fancy decorative objects and things that most people in the market don't encounter anymore!

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George! That Victorian opera lamp was really pretty. That seemed a good price on it. I liked that chair next to the lamp, too. I have a water set in the green, of the U. S. Glass "Delaware" pattern, like was in the vitrine. I would've had to have bought that Bristol vase. At $16.00, I wouldn't have been able to pass it. I really like Bristol glass. I have a complete set of the Wade nursery rhyme pieces. I display them in an old printer's drawer hung on the wall, along with quite a number of old wood spools that still have the thread on them. The old wood spools, with the thread still on, makes a nice colourful display. I liked that goat "Bucking In" mug. I'd like to have an older AH "Rings" beverage set. I'm not too fond of ice lips on pitchers. I liked that walnut surround pin cushion. Loved that mermaid clock! I'd move something to place that one! I've always wanted one of those wood butter churns. You were SPOT ON with what you said about knowing your stuff! I loved that blue pitcher, with the floral pattern, on the shelves with the old photos. Jewel Antique Mall looks to be a fantastic place to shop! Thanks for the take-a-long!!!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm so glad to hear someone say they like Bristol too! I have always thought it was the most underrated Victorian art glass. I have a relative with a Wade set too, I remember how hard it was to complete in the time before eBay! I like the A-H rings a lot, I collect Manhattan so not surprising I suppose. Everyone flipped for the mermaid! I finally got to own a nice printed butter churn a few years back. I know you would really like this place! Thank you for your concurrence with my little rant. It's fine to make mistakes, not know everything and have to learn as you go!-but it's not fine to not even try and leave your unsuspecting buyer holding the bag for your ignorance.

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

@@TheAntiqueNomad Bristol has a distinct look that can't be confused with any other glass. It doesn't matter to me if it is English or American, either...they're actually impossible, for me, to tell apart from one another. The Wade nursery rhyme set is the only set that has ever interested me enough to complete the set. I like most all of the Wade whimseys, but the nursery rhyme set is my favourite. I have a Tom and Jerry set in the Wade figures, too. It's only the two pieces. That mermaid clock was OTT fantastic! It's no surprise everyone flipped over it. Yeah, mistakes will always be a part of being human, but all it takes is a little research to learn about any item. There are way too many resources available to get information on ANYTHING these days to not take advantage of them. Not being willing to take a few minutes to get information can result in selling the customer, as well as yourself, short.

George, "Modern Gothic decor" is pretty trendy right now. They take victorian furniture n items and paint them black or other darker colors. So I can see why there is an up tick in Victorian things.

I'm newer to finding vintage and antique items to collect and sell. Please no one attack me lol! Was uranium glass more expensive when it originally came out? I ask because I am going through my grandmas estate and trying to sort. The family wasn't rich in any way and were dairy farmers.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hi there! Vaseline (yellow-green) art glass of the Victorian era sold for more because they liked the color. 1930s depression green glass was inexpensive new, a lot of basic pieces were even given away free. 1970s-on vaseline glass, Fenton custard, etc. was made to be collected and was more expensive.

Really interesting video, George! I saw about 30 of those fancy old pickle glass containers with the tongs in Stillwater the other day. I never thought about it but I might get one. Do you like those? Are they worth buying?

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Pickle castors are great Victorian art glass, if they're real and not reproductions or replacement liners (if the glass doesn't securely fit the bale or the lid, it isn't original!) . The presence of those non-original ones really brought down the value of these 1870s-90s beauties so they might be a deal now , Check current sold values and you'll get a feel for today's market
