Bidding on a Mansion Packed With Fine Antiques & Vintage!
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 09. 2024
- We're on a house call today with Jacob and Lucas of @BernerBrotherAntiques! From the huge ballroom to the third-story loft apartment, this stately home is full of everything from ravishing Art Nouveau Amphora figures to vibrant Moorcroft pottery and gleaming bronze statues. They're here to see the items and make a bid for the whole house full, and Jocelyn of @CrazyLampLady and I are along to see this incredible home...and maybe earmark a few pieces if they end up at the auction!
The lady of the house was English, and Anglophiles will delight in the bevy of wonderful antique ceramics this house holds! Early Doulton pieces include an unusual metal-clad vase, while highly decorated Maling Ware celebrates the bridges and castles of Newcastle-on-Tyne. But her tastes extend to everything from studio art glass and Van Woert prints to Belleek baskets, and we spend a lot of time showing splendid examples and talking about what makes them special and desirable to today's collectors.
Jacob and I talk about how we approach bidding on a house full of antique finery, puzzle over how to pronounce the name of a beautiful 1890s French cameo glass vase and correct some misunderstandings about the stylishly decorative furniture in the house (looks old, but is it?) as we walk through this incredible manse. In the end, he makes a healthy and fair offer, and we leave hoping that our morning spent in this fine home will bring a fresh batch of antiques and vintage that we'll all have a chance to buy soon!

Oh, my! When you pick up fragile items, especially larger lidded items with one hand, I cringe with the thought that you might drop one. I breathe a sigh of relief when you set them down safely. 😆The former owner of this home had many lovely items!
I was thinking the SAME! But he knows how to handle - but I kept cringing. 😉
I have no worries
@@elderlypoodle9181Nor do I! George has handled pieces like these a thousand times or more and knows with precision how much and from which side and angle the various styles and manufacturers' pieces can take pressure.
Wow! This was such a treat. So many beautiful glass pieces, plus the narration from The Best! George, it's like going to a museum and having my own private museum docent. Thank you so much.
Thank you! It sure was fun
Definitely a watch twice video! Thank you for taking us to a wonderland. It’s like a good dream. ⭐️❤️🐩
This was pure heaven...all he kinds of things I just love...sigh,,,,thank YOU ALL!!!
That’s was a fabulous mansion. There were so many beautiful things. I loved the mirrors.
Agreed!
OMGosh, this mansion and the beautiful collections are beyond amazing. I need to watch again , it was so exciting I loved her wall coloring and furniture.
Thank you so much! It was fun to show true elegance
Had to come back and watch it again so many beautiful pieces and so much knowledge being tossed out by everyone 😂 Thanks everyone for sharing! ❤❤❤
Thank you! I thought this was a fun and informative video
An estate in our town (Lenox MA) was originally owned by the Fahnstock (sp) famiky. It became a vacation resort (Eastover) and was where my dad was a chef, where I worked and met
My future husband.
Oh how neat! That's a nice story.
Thanks for taking us along and all the information. It’s a shame that this beautiful furniture isn’t what it was.
Great Video to SHARE with a friend and good way to support George
Hope you pass ot on !
My new life goal is a Juliet balcony overlooking mybliving room.
Lol me too
I love Maling pieces too! Such beautiful colours! They glow!
That was a fabulous home to visit with you and hear the details of those gorgeous pieces. Thanks for sharing your expertise with your fans!
I love the new strawberry Moorcroft!
Have you ever been to the Birmingham AL Art Museum? They have a massive collection and display of Wedgewood- including an entire room with wedgwood ceramic walls! Seeing that made me start appreciating wedgewood pottery more!
there have been some serious amphora auctions recently..its made a comeback for sure!
03:45: Forget all the gargantuan Wedgewood and pier mirrors: I want that beautiful drawing of the afghan hound! 😂ETA: Spoke too soon, just got to 04:25 😍(and AGAIN, 10:41 OMGGG) - I always knew I had expensive tastes !!! 😁
All good choices! I hope they got that estate sale
Good evening, George! That house is fantastic! What kind of lamp was the stained glass one that looked a bit like a weeping willow? I liked it! Those amphora were spectacular! Loved the Royal Dux busts! Geez! Everything there was absolutely splendid! There were excruciatingly few things that didn't fit my tastes. It was actually a bit overwhelming...no way to keep up with all of it. Thanks for the tour!
The weeping willow is a newer take on an old Tiffany pattern. That house! The amphora and Dux busts were tremendous, everything was very nice in the way I remember collections in similarly appointed homes I saw early in my career. I knew you would like it all, the big danger is that they might get the auction and then we'll all be broke together!
Very impressive pieces of blue chintz, but I was drawn to the lovely lady in the 'peach' room suspended over the marble pedestal, or was that an ornate ashtray? (3:19 mark) Loved the petite look of the Cameo pattern of dishes (23min mark) The colorful Moorcroft vase was gorgeous!! Thanks for the awesome tour George!!
That was something I meant to go back and see closer! I believe it was a 30 year old deco revival statue, and she really was fantastic. The Cameo pattern is part of what set Rosenthal apart in their early years. I love that Moorcroft every time I see it
Great video
Oh my gosh, what a fantastic house full of everything I’d love to see and own, thank you so much George for the tour, you’re awesome ❤
I learn so much when i watch
I was hoping the luster bowl was Fairyland luster but sadly no. That dog porcelain was to die for thanks for showing us around .❤
Such beautiful items!
Wow. What a dream!
Penny, it was fun, and can't wait to be with u all and George again!! I can tell it will be addictive 😂😂
Welcome and thanks!
😊😊😊😊😊😊
Amazing home! 1890’s or 1990’s items…all are beautiful and classically displayed. The previous owner must have been meticulous in selecting these treasures…and the mirrors, although large, are quite delicate. Thank you for naming and giving us the history on the items.
I must see the Mansion 😃
Hi fun to meet up with u here !!! 😊
@@janetpogue4970 You also Janet! 💕
I have that exact dresser set. It was my mother’s. Loved this video!
Wow!
It’s all very beautiful….but I love the entire ballroom with Juliet balcony!
Wow, George, what a whirlwind tour. Thank you so much for everything. There is so much to take in. You're one smart cookie. Whoa versace!
I’ve watched all three videos from CLL to the Berber Brothers YT and enjoyed each one of them. You have such interesting knowledge and history of so many companies. Product knowledge is so important to buy and selling antiques in my opinion.
beauitful
Amazing!!!!
The collections are so well presented.😊
That was great!
It sure was!
Such a fantastic home and beautiful things!
Truly so!
W o w !!
Hi George!
This was a great video of antiques and some vintage pieces
I was glad to show a lot of true antiques!
@@TheAntiqueNomad thank you 🙏 I love antiques and vintage pieces I appreciated the opportunity to see them all✡️✝️😇🇺🇸☃️👍😇👼🙏🦃🎄
Wow, what a lot of beautiful furniture and items. ❣️
Gah! The beautiful Maling pieces! Thank you for showing us all the goodies, George :)
That blue dresser jar is Moser. I have the same in cranberry.
Thank you! I didn't think to look at the rim to see because those jars usually are lined and unpolished, I'll check for that in the future
I think we all see several things we would like to own! The bad part is I would probably need a house that big to own them all!
True and true
Such a treat ! Thank you
You might dispute me on this but I think the reason Wedgewood is not so popular is because in all actuality it really doesn't fit anywhere. I have a small which would try that my mother gave to me after a trip to england. Not worth much but when I put it in with a grouping of some of my pretty things it really doesn't fit.
Beautiful! Lucas is a doll!
MY FAVORITE WAS VERSACE SET , BEAUTIFUL
Oh my my what beautiful items. I'm drooling over her. 🫣😩
Hey there George! 👌🏽
Wonderful to see all these beautiful items. Thanks for Sharing !!!
I appriciated your answers to my questions. It seemed like it was actually you, though u were talking, so then does someone elce type in the answers ?
Nope! I am a fast typist and I do it all myself. Seriously.
Very cool, George
Thank you again for your knowledge. This estate is lovely and well put together.
❤WOW ❤
Wow! So many fine pieces! Thanks for showing them to us!
Thank you for detailed explanations of the items. I learned a lot.
Such a beautifully curated home. Thank you for the informative tour.
So many amazing treasures 🥰
wow!! who dusted? Full time job!
Wow. Thank you Professor. Your tour and descriptions were so interesting and educational. I thought I loved the Moorcroft the best (I bought my first piece from you), until you got to the Mailing, Cameo and the many other beautiful English pieces. I can’t wait to follow the auction for these items! 9a
George: Silesia isn't Germany. It's POLAND. It was the part Prussia stole in the 1790s and there were a lot of German-speakers, but in 1919 the Germans gave it back. (my Polish grandfather would crawl out of his grave and chase me if I let that one go by.) I found a what was formerly a nice piece of Herend at an estate sale that was lacework. Unfortunately someone handling it before me wasn't too careful. Darnitt darnitt darnitt.
thank you for all the info. you shared.
Gorgeous things.
So beautiful fun to watch ❤California
Oh, what a wonderful video. Such amazing and gorgeous items. Total eye candy. George, you were very brave to pick up that china and glassware -- I would have been terrified to touch most of it. I would be very curious to know what prices they get for all of the china sets.
I will be too, I hope they get this one and we can all see it together! I have handled so many things in my time, the only ones that really scare me are applied flowers, they break when you breathe on them!
He knows how to handle glass, unlike some resellers who pick up glass at the weakness point. It make me anxios. Lol.
You always say Czechoslovakia but the two countries are now separate. It is Czech Republic ( for friends now Chechia) and Slovakia. 😊
Sorry: Czechia.
So many gorgeous pieces,,what was your favorite George?
I loved the brass lady upstairs in the artnavo style
The knife box is regency
Okra glass possibly, or Mdina on the Lustre Glass
George, would you like to have a mansion like this and keep all of the treasures that you find from everywhere? Maybe make it a museum? Just wondering ?❣️
I have some of that furniture (original dates not repro) ,and a lot of those pieces its such a shame as we get old and know that our lifes passion is going to be "given away"to auctions if we are lucky.
I have a very very tall Royal Heager grey pitcher with a huge handle. I bought it at auction years ago. I wonder what it is worth.
Beautiful home and lots of treasures to be found. How many rooms are in that mansion?
I didn't count, but around 12-15. They were all quite large.
😊
Royal also means that all porcelain is owned by the crown..... earth from their land.....it is what I heard once is it true???
french provincial, earl edwardian, and more ... seems like a sothebys catalogue ...
I deserve this home and everything inside it. Lol. With property taxes ever! Lol.
It will be for sale I think!
@@TheAntiqueNomad I meant to say without property taxes ever. Lol. It's great but it's too much house for me. If my daughter and grandchildren would come with me, I would consider it. I love the porcelain greyhounds, by the way.. The thing with Berners is their whopping buyers premium! If you absentee bid there is a fee for that, ends up being about 25%! then taxes and shipping. They seem like nice people. Just saying. Proceed with caution.
👍❤😊
The French maker of the vase is pronounced" D'Argentoy" with a hard g.
Belleek (the real kind) is made in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. That's pronounced "Fer-man-agh." :)
My chat just varnished too
Oops! I saw you in there but hopefully you got to see it all
Happily , just as the chat vanished it the reappeared ! Magic night!! Thank you
As a greyhound rescuer, I'd love to have that piece in my collection. How much do you think it's worth?
Are you aware Czechoslovakia no longer exists. The country is divided into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This occurred over 30 years ago.
Yes, and the Czechs have a different name for their country now too. A lot of what we find from there is from the era when it was still one country so I use Czechoslovakia as the name for such things

I'll be Bach.

Is it just me, I don't see a chat?
I''m so sorry! I didn't see you in there, but there was, and there were 350 people in it. You might have to switch between top and live chat, hit "premiere" button to left of screen, or refresh the page if that happens in the future.
@@TheAntiqueNomad Hi George, I was on my phone when I made that comment. When I got home you were live on my iPad, must have been a CZcams thing. I did enjoy it all though, the collections were amazing. Thank you.
Wonderful to see this from several content creators.
I'm so excited to do my versions, I was so impressed with the ones that already came out!
I watched all 3 videos that you 3 did of this mansion, and they are completely different. You show a lot of pieces not seen in the others. I really enjoy seeing all the dishes/china. Quite exquisite collections throughout the home. Thanks for sharing.
