  • In today's video, I pay a visit to The Armoury of St. James's to pick up an exciting new purchase for my home: a 1939 watercolor of St. James's Palace. One of the things I love most about London are all of the different layers. Despite all my travel, I am constantly discovering new and incredible facets to this remarkable city.
    Let me know what you think of the painting and how you think it will look in my new home!

      I first noticed a big step up in the quality of Kirby's videos a couple of years ago. I assumed he'd invested in a new camera. In any case, the difference is plainly evident and much appreciated.

      Really more to the new editing team we begin using about two years ago. That and professional local crews. But more the editing team than anything else.

    What a stunning painting. St James's Palace is my favourite palace, and St James's has always been my favourite area, it exudes such a wonderful atmosphere, both day, and night.

    Beautiful painting Kirby. I always try to invest in museum quality glass which is non reflective. The difference is remarkable.

    I do indeed say a truly fine-looking portrait I have an affinity for nostalgic things and that painting definitely hits on all vibes, once again thanks for sharing!

    OMG Kirby, you're KILLING ME. 🙂 You were in Picadilly Arcade, across the walk from Jeffery-West shoes store. I realise their style of shoe might not be to your usual preference (as best I can glean), but before you leave London, please go back, take a look, review and share with us your thoughts. I promise, you'll enjoy the experience. Mark Jefffery and Guy West will look after you, I'm sure.

    Your new home needs antique Persian rugs. :) :) :) because I knew a man who went down that very deep rabbit-hole. His hobby consumed him.

    A lovely video. This would be outside of the scope of the channel, but should you ever wish to feature “quality, craftsmanship, and tradition from days of yore”, you could have, say, Matt Easton talk you would though the golden age of British sword design (up to about WWI and just after), in particular the non-regulation ‘fighting swords’ made by Wilkinson.

    What Kirby said: "Well, Toby, thank you so much. I really am excited to take this back home and decide where it is going to hang."
    What Kirby should have said: "Well, Toby, thank you so much. I really am excited to take this back home and Bianca will decide where it is going to hang in the warehouse." 🙂
    Seriously, though, great choice, Kirby.

    I do not understand this whole interest about Prints. After all, when I buy a painting, I want something that is entirely hand painted not just partly
