Nemours is a DuPont mansion located in Wilmington, Delaware.
Smaller, and less well known, than the nearby Winterthur Museum,
Nemours provides a more intimate setting to explore the rooms with
fewer people surrounding or rushing you through. As an estate built
in the 20th century, what's notable about the decorative arts on display
within Nemours is that many of these examples are still around and
available for purchase - Bing and Grondahl animal figures, Zolnay
pottery pieces, Tiffany favrile glass - expensive, but still around. Visit

That glider is a real prize. That whole house is a real museum. Thank you for explaining things to me, cuz l never would have guessed. Stay safe.
That was a Uneeda biscuit tin from the National Biscuit Co. (Nabisco)
Loved that estate sale tour and how the owners had themes from the old apothecary running through the house. I imagine the solarium was / is a nice place to retreat to to collect one's thoughts and partake in some quality reading! It was like a little oasis of mother nature in the big city! Keep workin' that firkin!
The house tour WAS very nice. And so many beautiful things and those slaughter chair absolutely stunning Scott oh my word and whit all original parts EVEN the finish look amazing waooo 👏👏👍. I can imagine all the history. 😀.i enjoy this trip very much Scot thank you 🤗
Oh, me again! The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC (hone of George Vanderbilt) is open to the public and almost everything in it - down to the books in the library, dishes, crystal, flower pots....you name it is original to the original owners. It is definitely a trip worth taking.
Your tin shaker is smack dab in the early 1800s. Maybe, another shop in the neighborhood sold tinware. The fun thing to find and collect would be early business letterheads or billheads from shops on Front Street, operating during the 1800s and into the early 1900s. I got totally consumed by collecting ephemera in that area. I bought hundreds. The obsession is overwhelming once you get started. I bet the glider wasn’t for sale. Thanks for a walk through 1817.
I had a chance to examine the shaker up close and personal once I arrived at home. I have come to the same conclusion as you.....it's a bit older than I first thought. I also place a bit earlier in the 19th century than I first thought. I just love it. Thanks for watching Rickey.
In my paternal grandfather's house in Cuba, he had a glider that looked just like that. So sad, that all those beautiful antiques were taken away and gone forever. But great memories when I visited of us sitting there and enjoying the day.
That house was gorgeous. I love to know what they're asking for the home. The prices were high. Take care and thank you once again Scott for the very interesting vlog. I love estate sales. 👍👍👍👍👍🍀💕
What lovely architecture. I love old buildings and the different styles. What a beautiful home if walls could talk what stories could they tell. 😆 The Dresser was beautiful in the Bedroom what a Beautiful executive Desk. What a beautiful piece thank you for sharing. Please Stay Safe,Happy and Healthy. Have A Wonderful Day
Glad you enjoyed it
A beautiful historical home. The hallways and stairs are very narrow. GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT. THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!!
I've always wanted to look inside old rowhouses! It seemed to have more interior window light than I would think for a rowhouse - maybe I'm just thinking of Baltimore's rowhouses. I loved the staircases and woodwork.Thanks for taking us along! That glider was sweet!
I appreciate how you always "stop to smell the roses" how you appreciate the little things. Like taking the time to film the robin. All the WOOD in that house just had me drooling!
I watched one of your older videos this morning where you tried to go to the estate sale and got very emotional. Very moving.
Yes. That was the very first estate sale I attend after the death of my father. I'm doing much better now. Thanks for delving back into my archive!
The dresser lamp shade that looks like a flapper hat at 10:54 is just adorable! That house is quite a beauty as well. Thanks for sharing this with us!
You are so welcome!
Yes I want one now!
The home was stunning. Thank you for filming! The solarium, oh my gosh! So beautiful. As for the firkin, I’m going to start using that word as an adjective 😂, that will add emphasis! As for the lunch pail, I would use it as a purse!
Have a firkin good evening! 😉😊
I love it! That is firkin fantastic!
Wonderful, I adore old homes! Perhaps Mrs. Robin was patching up her nest, doing some home repairs? We say drug store in our family too, or pharmacy sometimes. I am all over the place oh my. Enjoyed that home and if only it could talk. Imagine what the third floor servant quarters would say...
Drug store here too. I saw those stairs and ached for the servants.
I appreciate the concept of keeping a little piece from each special sale -- a 3-D scrapbook. Nice episode, Scott.
A delightful video! Robins are determined little birds when it comes to getting nesting materials, I've seen them struggle with losing battles trying to take the strings off old fashioned mops. I was afraid that your little Mrs.Robin was going to be entangled in the netting, but suddenly off she flew triumphant with her prize!
When you walked into that "alcove"garden or I suppose it's an atrium, my mouth dropped open. That must have been like a little slice of Heaven to them back when that amazing settee glider was new. It was kind of like The Secret Garden in miniature.
The things you chose to buy hold so much history. I always feel connected to the people and places of the past when amongst such treasures.
I will look forward to seeing your tour of the Dupont Estate with Patrick.
Miss Robin was pleased with her prize.
Scott, thanks for the tour of the Philly home. What a gem!
Thanks for the tour!! That was a beautiful house!
Lug that furniture down? Must have been a chore to get all that huge, heavy furniture up those stairs. Absolutely beautiful place.
I was trying to imagine being an invalid in that house. And, as you said, lugging that furniture up/down? Are there expert movers in places like Phillie?!
@@alanatolstad4824 at some point in life stairs are a burden.
Loved this! Love what you bought! Enjoyed seeing the inside of that house too. I would never imagined the Sun Room!!! Thinking about going up and down those stairs as we age has me wondering if the resident just stayed downstairs after 65!!!!! Thank you.👵💖🦋
Even in the finest homes people eventually end up downstairs, unless they have an elevator of course.
You would like Kingwood Center here in Mansfield Ohio. You get to tour the house, and the grounds are massive.
The pail looks like something my grandmother called her berry pail. We loaded it every year.
Yum!
My mom had two old shakers in the kitchen when I was young. One held powdered sugar and one held flour. Used to flour the surface we were going to roll or knead dough onto.
I bet that was some good food.
The big jar held kerosene for a cookstove. My granny had one in the 40's and it was her pride and joy. The stove is now in our local museum. (I wasn't around then, but I did see the stove in the house where my grandparents lived on a cotton farm.)
Awesome thanks! The batteries fascinated me! I almost bought one. 😀
I wish you could see the stove. It's that soft green and creamy white enamel.
@@CindyCockerham I remember! You had to turn the jar upside down in the special holder and it would gravity feed the kerosene as the stove burned it. 😯👵😁lol
@@oldcuriosityshop265 We just watched this video and my mom said that’s for a kerosene stove! She was so happy to see that. She told me her memories of baking her first cakes in that oven they were so flat only her father would eat them 😂
She later became a professional baker. She will be 89 this year! Thanks Scott for producing content both my mom and I enjoy and provokes conversations that I will cherish many years from now. 🥲💞
Scott - - Wow, what a house and the wonderful contents! The home itself was very interesting and in such good condition. I was glad to see the owners had kept the bell in place on the third floor. The bell was to call the servants, who probably lived on that floor. You noted a door on the 3rd floor that had a sign on it and you indicated it was probably to a staircase. You are probably correct, it was likely the servants' staircase to get down quickly to wherever they were needed. BTW, have you ever watched the CZcams channel called "The 2nd Empire Strikes Back" ? I watch it from time to time. It is about a couple in St. Louis, MO who bought and are renovating an old mansion there. About a month or so ago they were working on the level with servants' quarters and stairs, etc. They fixed plaster walls, strip floors, the whole deal.
I have always been interested in repairing and renovating old things and old homes. I think that's why I especially love your videos when you are fixing the antique/vintage lamps, small appliances, Victrolas, et cetera.
Back in the 1980s, we lived in a rented Spanish-style home here in Los Angeles County that was built in the late 1920s. It had a flowering jacaranda tree plus fruit trees (apricot and sapote trees) in the yard. The house had the thick walls, red-tiled roof, arched doorways, tiled fireplace, wrought iron curtain rods, and other neat features of that era. The dining room had the original metal chandelier with matching wall sconces. The bathroom had the original fuschia wall tiles with black tile trim, and the bathroom floor consisted of little white hexagonal tiles. The house even had a small basement accessible through a trap door in the laundry room floor. We loved that house.
But my most favorite part was the kitchen and breakfast room with original latched cabinets in a wonderful color scheme of (wait for it, Scott, wait for it) your favorite cream and green colors! It even had a small basement (not very common here.) Back then, we could not afford to buy the house when the landlord put it up for sale. We could do minor repairs, but the landlord did not repair the leaky tile roof nor the temperamental electrical system with knob-and-tube wiring and fuses. The main fuse (made of brown bakelite) was so old that it had a little mica window in it, instead of glass! But the house was basically sound and intact, having survived several Southern California earthquakes. The house still stands solid today.
Thanks so much for taking us with you to that very special estate sale.
You make me homesick for Los Angeles and the beautiful Spanish style homes. Yours sounds especially nice.
@@PicoAndSepulveda Thank you for your comment.
We had to move out of the Spanish-style house in the mid 1980s because the landlord was going to sell the place. Unfortunately we could neither afford to buy it at the time nor renovate it (priority would have been to update the electrical system and redo/repair the original red tile roof.) And even more importantly, we had to move as our son was due to start middle school at that time, and the local middle school was horrible, was not close enough to home to be within safe walking distance, and was smack-dab in the middle of an adjacent (gang-infested) neighborhood. So we moved a few more miles away to a rental condo in Burbank, within safe walking distance to a public library and to Burbank's public middle and high schools, where our son excelled. In high school, he was in Academic Decathlon, won various medals in it, and actually "lettered" in it, receiving the high school's letterman's jacket with a Lamp of Knowledge patch (instead of a baseball, basketball or other sport insignia. )
Ultimately we saved up and purchased our current home in 1993, located in another suburb and coincidentally one block away from the state university campus our son was attending at the time. We still miss the old house though, and my husband and I were talking about it just the other day, saying what we would NOT have changed if we had owned it now.
It saddens us when we happen to drive by it, as the next owner replaced the tile roof with ordinary grey asphalt shingles which look horrible. The large shade and fruit trees were removed and did not plant any new ones. The house and yard look naked, barren/devoid of greenery and sad.
Wonderful tour!! I was surprised by the number of rooms, albeit small. The glider WAS Wonderful!! What a find! You came away with some fun items too! Enjoyed this so much. 👍😁👍👍👍❣❣🤗🤗🤗
We had a painted, covered glider growing up, nothing fancy like that but I sure would love to have it now.
Hey, Scott!! Just what I wanted this evening!!
What an amazing home. If it could only talk, what tales it could tell. I have that tin you picked up. I love the rich colors of it. Thanks for the tour!
Beautiful home. I bet you could stay there for hours digging looking for treasures. Love that lunch box
So exciting you and Patrick touring a mansion!
Fabulous liniment bottle. Thank you for taking us along, I love this type of subject matter. Old Hispanic houses were built with these beautiful solariums. I'm excited to watch you and Patrick tomorrow. 💞
Thank you, Guadalupe!
Interesting. I heard in Spain they live their inner courtyards.
@@PicoAndSepulveda sorry, I was referring to Mexican houses.
@@guadalupeknippen2636 I bet they’re beautiful. It just made me recall something I learned in school that sounded like a great feature.
@@PicoAndSepulveda The ones in haciendas can be spectacular but even the ones in smaller size houses have their beautiful charm with large variety of colorful flowers.
"Goshen Manufacturing company"
Great outing, wonderful home & the glider was so special. Thank you for giving us a break where we can rest our retinas & save our Depends for another time. 👍🏻
Ha ha ha I love it!!!!
its so awesome to be in a home that contains furniture and belongings going all the way back over a hundred years, layered with family history. I wish it all could remain together as a time capsule to teach how it was .
So very interesting to see the interior of an old row house! Imagine climbing those stairs on a regular basis...oh my. I really wanted those old suitcases on the 3rd floor. Oh what fantastic furniture.
I go to estate sales most weekends and I also love seeing the house almost as much as I love seeing and shopping for the old things. I bought an old ledger book from maybe the 40's years ago and started writing down everything I buy, from thrift stores to tag sales to estate sales to antique malls to picks from friends/people. I include what I paid, although I'm not a reseller. I just like to track the value of things. I also write a description of the home and anything I found out about the owner. Like you, I remember so much from estate sales and am reminded of them when I see the object in my home. I already loved your channel, but when I saw that, I felt a connection with you. Doesn't that property have the feel of one that had been a boarding house at some point? That first room you were in... you first entered the "apartment" and were in a room that could have been a small kitchenette and living room and then you entered into the bedroom with the apothecary cases. Doesn't that feel boarding house-y to you? That certainly might be a way the shop owner might make more money from the property... the family could have squeezed into a few rooms and might have rented out the others. Or maybe the family lived nearby and all of the upstairs was rented out. Who knows... I guess that's all lost to the sands of time now. Great video!
That outside sunroom, " A cup of Tea and Thee" ! On a sunny Summer Day.
You made me laugh 🤣 filming the birds and then your battery was gone once you got inside. That is exactly something I would do 🤣
I can not tell you how much I have enjoyed this tour! I have a love affair with antique homes - our home was built in 1892. I wish someone would have a channel of just filming old homes - exterior and interiors. I’m not even looking at the furnishings - it’s the wooden floors, the sashes, the hand- carved wooden details, the banisters...oh, I could go on and on. If I were twenty years younger, I’d jump on filming that kind of a channel.
Love watching you and still being taught new things - the sugar shaker! ❤️ Love winning your bids...I missed out on one (thanks spotty Internet - my area) but it is what it is! Keep doing what you are doing...we love our Scott!
Good Morning Scott , When I was a teenager My Mother took me to the wedge wood museum in Philly and bought me my first piece of wedge wood , Great Memories . That video was on my utube feed on Sunday and I said That’s Scott YAY great fun . Have a lovely day and thank you .
That is awesome!
Thank you for another pleasant Saturday night watching you shop for treasures. Loved the home!
Glad you enjoyed it
I absolutely loved this video tour of this 1817 home and the estate sale. I live in the West and we have nothing like that. We do have some lovely old buildings but they date in the late 1880's at the oldest. I love to tour old places. I look forward to the tour you and Patrick took. Thanks so much.
Those beautiful beds and bureaus, oh my.. love love love. Nice of you to sneak in an appearance of Salem.. little love bug he was. xoxo
😊 thank you
@@oldcuriosityshop265 yw
REALLY enjoyed walking through that old house with you...(one of the tins you picked up was marked: "Uneeda"....which were "Uneeda Biscuits" of long ago which were more of a soda cracker than a biscuit.) Thanks, Scott :---)
That garden/sun room is so so stunning. What a dream 😍😍😍
The robin is probably starting her 2nd nest. They raise 2-3 broods per season. Loved this house! Beautiful furniture throughout! I’ve never seen a lunch pail in the wild, great score. And the gorgeous sunroom with the settee, oh my goodness!!!
I loved the little house tour. So interesting. I love old homes. I live in the northwestern part of PA where Oil barons had their homes.
I had never heard of a gliding couch. BEAUTIFUL. love the firkin
There is a house called Olveston here in Dunedin, New Zealand, built for a rich piano importer. It's in the Jacobean style and was left to the city with its contents completely intact. Amazing place to visit. Thoroughly enjoyed the estate visit. I kept imagining Ladies in the house wearing long dresses with bustles.
The row house is absolutely gorgeous.
You are so entertaining sweet 🐦 birds. It's great to see others homes & treasures. Thanks for bringing us along.
Loved the visit. Wanted to set on the glider for just a little while🐦🌿☺
I used to work with an English person who would laughingly ask 'is it time to get your drugs at the drugstore' everytime someone said they were picking something up. Glad you enjoyed the reverie of this sale!
I just subscribed to Patrick's channel and set the notification for your video. Can't wait. I have been wandering around on CZcams and done with all that nonsense. Nack to your channel for Antiques. Thank you for the great content and educational info.
Enjoy the weather! Here in The Netherlands we have no spring. It is cold and nasty. Rain en storm. I like the birds in the beginning 😀
That bird was so cute fighting with the ball of string.
In my area of the California Central Coast (northwest of Santa Barbara), we have May-Gray, and June-Gloom, every year. Our nice (especially hot) doldrums comes in September and October. Most of us don't have air conditioning (why would we buy it for only 8 weeks a year?!), so the only real places to get cool are inside your car (with the AC on, of course!), and the stores. We run our heaters/furnaces the rest of the year.
Now you’re speaking my language! Old houses! I love, love touring old houses! My dream is to take the pilgrimage to Natchez, Mississippi. That glider! 💗
Good evening Scott 💓
Very nice tour and finds. My husband goes to see our drug dealer every few weeks. Yes, we call our CVS, the drug dealer..a sign of the times I guess. My Grandmother used to use Resinol for small wounds. I can’t believe you didn’t leave with that deco lamp. 👍💕
Just watched the tour. Breathtaking. I love touring old homes also. Minor in college was history as well as a certificate in historic preservation
Oh !!! Lydia Pinkum....
for ladies and children. 😊❤️
love...love....love......I LOVE finding these treasures, thank u for taking us with you...
Thanks for taking us along Scott!!!
Loved the sound of that beautiful wooden floor. The sugar shaker is adorable. I have a collection of sugar shakers all glass. Enjoyed the video a lot. Thanks Scott.
The quilt so pretty alot of handy work.
Thankfully I am subscribed to both of you.
Awesome estate sale tour! Loved watching the bird in the beginning too!
Amazing estate with beautiful things.
Thanks for sharing.
Loved everything about that house tour. Thank you.
Love the house tour everything in it was so cool.
That was fascinating. Glad you could go. Thank you for sharing.
Loved the house! Beautifully decorated!
she definitely wants it for her nest, but she's trying to break it up into smaller pieces. Good luck love!
Kept waiting to see your breath; house reminded me of The Sixth Sense (movie).
Ha ha ha beats me I never saw it. Scary movies scare me.
@@oldcuriosityshop265 Even scarier, it took place in Philadelphia.
@@powerlinekid4296 oh no!
Loved the tour, such a jewel.
Luv the house. ...😍
Yes I heard about Lydia Pinkhams. I think it was for ladies ailments, but we’ll find out in your video...Charming tour and great catch of the robin with her find for the day!
What an amazing house! Some of those furnishings ive only seen in old movies!! Epic video! Thanks so much Scott
Love the estate sale..thx for taking us along .
Thanks for watching!
That firkin is in great condition. Even without the lid. You can even turn it upside down (since it doesn’t have the lid) for the back of a vignette to elevate other 19th century pieces. Great tour 👍
Good tip!
Oh, I loved this!!! Usually I am sad at estate sales, but this one was beautiful ❤️
P.S. Scott...I want to hear your story about your grandmother and Fannys' liniment; and am ZSTILL waiting for your promised tale of when you met and played with DIZZY GILLESPIE!!! You promised!😁😀👍👍👍🥴❣
NBC trade is Nabisco Biscuit Co.... the old one.
Oh my goodness what a beautiful house!! What fun ! I kept wondering what they were going to do with all the things they didn’t sell. Things seemed very expensive for the last day!
Love that house, and really like the items that you chose!
Thank you!! 😊
Just loved the art deco lamp which you said hung over the bed. I’m not old enough to use that Sloan’s Lineament, but I’ve heard of it. Perhaps in my readings over the many years. Wouldn’t you love to’ve seen all of the things that were once in that old pharmacist’s cabinet? Thanks for showing this old house.
Wow, you found some gems!! ❤️😁
I think so too!
I was waiting to see the kitchen !!
Yes, there were several rooms in which I did not film.
Love it all teasing with Eastlake my fav and I lost it at the birds late makingbwhoppie due to covid-19 hilarious
Thank you for the knowledge you have and the willingness to share it with us. You are a treasure too!
So nice of you
Thanks for taking us along Scott... was hoping you'd check out the Yoyo Quilt on the bed and am surprised that you didn't take home a battery, they were neat!!
Awesome vidoe!
Glad you enjoyed it
I did not get notice of this video but I am glad I found it. Guess I will have to start checking your channel to see if you've posted since YT is falling down on the job.
loved the tour of the old row house....I’m in SoCal so don’t see that architecture here...Loved the period furnishings too.....thank you🌸
That was an amazing tour! Thank you! Prices seemed high but glad you found some things! That solarium! 😍😍
Thanks for watching!
The Mies Van Der Rohe (Barcelona??) chairs are amazing - not my preferred style, but still amazing.
Pretty pricy too!
Maybe the Robin is just doing an upgrade to the old-fashioned nest to something more modern. Early American netting nest!
Yes! Or adding an addition.
I love to tour mansions. Will definitely join you!
Please do!
