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!

[@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

[@batthriftcrazy1959]

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

[@cathyblock6197]

Just love this particular video. I keep watching it over & over.

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

Awe, that’s so sweet! Thank you

[@terrythomas2735]

Oh my goodness that Art nouveau jar with the lady on it is fantastic. I love your collection 😍

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

It was a lucky find. Thanks for watching!

[@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 ❤️

[@vintag56h77]

Thank you. Very nice collection! !!🙆💖💖💖💖

Hi Im a mew subbie; a few KZbinrs have recommended your channel. Enjoying binge watching your videos. This is one of my favorites so far. TFS☮️💖✨😻

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

Hello!! So glad you are here!

[@compactgirl]

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

[@BB.halo_heir]

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. ♡

Such gorgeous pieces!!! And amazing prices. I love antique vanity items. Really enjoyed watching.

Thank you!

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

[@cosycuratedcottage681]

I’ve never heard of repousse before - thank you! That moth is staggering. Wow. x

[@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❤

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!

[@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

[@rachaelweidner5665]

Beautiful collection!

[@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. Another wonderful video my Sweet baby 😘😘😘😘😘. And, of course I want you to give my little buddies a big hug for me! 💖🙋🏻

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!

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.

[@Dotlikesred]

Lovely in every way, just like you🥰 So good to know King Tut was the first "well bred woman"😂. I love the moth, love, love 👐🏻💕😊

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

Hello from uk, Little blue box jewellery recommended you and I’m so glad she did. I’m a new subscriber because I love your videos. I used to collect lace, fabrics and ribbons but never did anything with them because I couldn’t bear to cut them up! It’s so nice to see how you’ve used your collections. The moth is very creative.

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!

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.

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!!!

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! 😊😊

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.

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.
