    George, I know this is over a year old, but, it’s the second time I’ve watched it 🙂I really appreciate that you show us much of the “finer” vintage and antique items; many of my favorite things seem to be yours, too! Thank you for sharing it all with us and letting us “virtually” shop with you!

      I'm so glad you went back to this one, that store had some truly amazing things that we don't see often! I'm always glad to show better quality antiques, we don't see as many as we once did because they're in collections now, so I try to dig deep when I do find them

      I recently found two Roseville pieces and because of your smart advice Mr. Nomad IIwill sit on on them awhile longer. Each piece is $80.oo & up on Ebay. but like you said just because they are being offered at that price does not mean that is what they are worth. But considering I found them and had them put away for a solid decade wrapped in newspapers goes to show I thought at that time that thy may be worth something. They are trending up. People, (& friends) have laughed at the junk I have neatly organized & piled up in my two garages but when they saw me take in close to $400.oo CASH last year with my yard sale they were kinda silent all of a sudden.
      Ya!

    Good evening, George! I'm going back and watching from the go...came in late on this one. I really love high-style Victorian, so Carriage House Antiques would've had me drooling. Loved that music box! A bit out of my price range, but it looked spectacular! There was a clock shelf, at 9:58, that caught my eye. OMG! that sofa/parlour set, at 10:30, is definitely my style! Loved the centre table, too. I liked that three-piece set, at 12:25, too, but not as much as the first set. The set at 12:33...Oh Yeah! I would've paid $65.00 for the lightning rod, too. "The Oak Staircase" book, at 14:05, caught my eye. I liked the graphics on the cover. You got a good deal on the Salviati dolphin comport. I can't get into the MCM or Murano, but the colours are great. That foyer mirror, at 16:27, was fantastic! You'd definitely need a high ceiling for it, but it would certainly make any foyer beautiful. I'm going nuts at all of the High Victorian furniture in one place! I've not seen that in ages. That painted Dutch sleigh carriage was fantastic! No idea where I'd put something like that, but it was beautiful. Wow! Carriage House Antiques was definitely a place I could go absolutely bonkers! Thanks for the take-along!

    • @TheAntiqueNomad
      @TheAntiqueNomad  Год назад +2

      Hello! I knew you would appreciate this one, the furnishings are terrific and I do love a masterful Victorian piece. That sofa set was gorgeous! I missed the clock shelf and it is very nice in retrospect. The lightning rod and the Salviati were very different but very worthwhile finds for me! The Murano is for a specific taste, but you can't beat the colors. Had I a house with a high ceiling, a fine foyer mirror would be on the list! I have to make due with a regular dresser mirror. The sleigh carriage...talk about something I never expected to stumble on there. I knew you'd like this one!

    I need to try to figure out what month you're in Michigan. I'm a friend of Jocelyn's.
