Thanks for the tips. Here are (3) three tips that I've recently added. (1) I keep paper in a bag in my car. Too many times I've ended up buying breakables and the thrift store or seller didn't have paper to wrap them. (2) I keep a screwdriver in my car. Sometimes you need to disassemble a piece to get it in the car. (3) Having at least 2 AA batteries readily available. Test an item before I buy it.

The scalloped one is called a "Doweled Joint or Dowel Jointed" It is Much earlier than dove tail and was started in the late 1800's Also the wavy glass is very thin and often has little bubbles in it. Takamakura is Japanese and usually has padding or fabric on them or just wood and used as punishment. You can tell real Ivory by "rubbing" it on your teeth, if it feels like it has a sort of texture as opposed to being smooth and slippery. Plastic is warm, glass is cold to the touch.

@tina6314 Жыл бұрын

It's the other way round in English furniture as The dowel-a peg or pin of hardwood-is a somewhat late development in furniture making; it replaced the traditional mortise and tenon joint in the early 19th Century where the dovetail came in, in the 17th Century. 😀

I am old enough to be your grandma and been antiquing for years. That was a great video! One thing my friends that owned an antique shop shared with me was look for the wear on the bottom of dishes/glassware. If it is worn it comes from years of use. If it is in pristine condition it can possibly be a reproduction.

@annseabolt6645 Жыл бұрын

Wear isn’t always an indicator as the glassware or dishes may have only been used for special occasions. One of my favorite finds was 6 sherbet cups that matched 6 that were my husband’s grandmothers.

My vintage shopping hack is to find locally owned consignment stores in nicer neighborhoods. Even better if the employees are retired elderly folks. I always find amazing artwork in these shops. One time I found museum prints of Monet and O'Keeffe, both excellently framed for $25 apiece. I feel like those shops are less picked over and the selection is always good.

@danab602 Жыл бұрын

Great video. A tip I have when buying ceramics or glassware is to rest the piece on the palm of your hand or a flat surface with nothing touching the sides. Then, flick one of the sides with your fingernail. If it rings like a bell, the piece has no cracks. A thunking sound can indicate hard-to-see cracks or repairs.

I don't shop on saturdays and one time I went to a estate sale on a friday and let them know I wouldn't be able to come the next day and they let me purchase at half price. It was kind of them to do that and much appreciated and you never know unless you ask!

Tip: measure your trunk, back seat, or truck bed. Nothing worse than buying something and you are driving home worrying something will fall out, obstruct your view, or knock you in the head when you brake ;-) Measure door openings if you are buying larger items. I have literally had to pop out a window to get an overstuffed chair inside and then it wouldn't fit through the bedroom door I wanted to place it in.

Drew, thank you for your generous tips! I live in South Jersey, not anything like where you live , with the incredible selection of everything. I grew up with antiques, have a Vintage shop on Etsy since 2011. I make friends with every owner/vendor I can, especially in the antique/architectural stores in my area. I am so fortunate that I am given below sticker prices. The other tip I can share, if you see an item, you are crazy about it, of course not what you are looking for that day, but it will work in your space, you will end up moving things around and Voila, a new vignette! Always fun to play with negative/positive space. Congratulations on your new home, your kitchen is amazing 🤩.

When going to flea markets, I find the best pieces as soon as the merchants set their stuff up, but on the other hand I've found the best deals towards the end of the day (sometimes free!!) do to vendors not wanting to put things back in their trucks. 😉

@angerose65 Жыл бұрын

One thing I've learnt is, if I'm in doubt as to whether I definitely want a piece , to pick it up and hang on to it until I decide either way. That way you don't risk losing it to another shopper, and you can always put it back if you decide against it.

I pretty much only shop vintage when it comes to home decor! I got a deal on an Ettore Sottsass chair at a flea market once because the seller noticed I was a relatively young collector and was just happy to support young people who were interested in buying vintage. I collect vintage plastics, and though it's definitely not everyone's cup of tea, they can be fun elements to add to a space. People tend to think of Tupperware when they think of vintage plastics, but there's so much more to it then that! Anything Italian or Scandinavian is totally worth picking up.

Tips.....always check wood furniture pieces for granular particles that could indicate wood worm infestation or damage by looking for small pinholes and tapping a variety of areas to be sure there are no hollow sounds. Many older pieces can look amazing from the outside but really only be held together by the varnish. Also for those who don't know.."antique" means it is 100 years old or more. Some sellers use the word to up the interest or price to an unsuspecting buyer so know your stuff and buy it because you love it, not for the possible phony romanticized story a flea market vendor may tell you about it. Thanks Drew!!

@MMKMoore1 Жыл бұрын

First, there is no "t" in the word "joinery". :) My childhood summers included yard sales every Saturday, and a local flea every Sunday. My dad taught me to always carry a tape measure in my purse, even when not going to shopping. You never know when you'll need it. There are 3-10 foot ones that are small enough for EDC. He also told me to carry a small notebook with key room measurements, including doorway sizes!, so I don't have to go home to check or guess if something fits. My mom was Asian, and loved soapstone art. She told me the best way to check if it's real is to touch it. It feels "cool" compared to plastic.

This was very good! Job well done! I especially liked when you said walk through, and then go in the opposite direction and walk back. I just shopped a a store today, that had been in business since 1974 and are closing, sadly, due to bankruptcy. I walked in, then switched direction and walked back, and found 3 items I hadn't seen before. Didn't even occur to me that I did this until I just saw your great informative video!

@mariannegoins3610 Жыл бұрын

Great video Drew. As a show vendor I would add a couple of things. When wanting a better price its how you go about it. Never say I'll give you. Instead say would you consider doing better. Never run down or bad mouth a piece you are trying to purchase. The vendor knows what it looks like and has priced it accordingly. Just say this is a nice piece could you consider selling it for less.

@kellywilson2147 Жыл бұрын

I 100% agree with these! You're not doing the vendor a favor by "giving" them money for goods, and nothing will insult someone faster than talking smack about the condition of the item you're looking to buy! My Dad restored classic cars and sold a lot he didn't have time to restore. If someone started running down a car advertised as needing restoration, he would let them continue, digging themselves into a deeper hole without saying a word or making excuses. When they made a lowball offer, he would reply, "No, but I can let you have it for..." which was usually $5k above the advertised price. They always asked why he raised the price when the car needed so much work. His answer was if they thought it was that far gone, they didn't have the heart to bring it back to life, so he raised the price to something he knew they wouldn't pay and walked away. It's an insult when people do that, but either they don't know that or don't care.

When buying glassware or crystal. Feel all the edges for chips. Fine crystal has a ring when tapped. Most people know that one.

Great tips! :) Another way you can date items with "Made in..."-markings more precisely is to look out for geopolitical things like "Made in Germany" or "Made in Korea" on an older looking item because that means those items were made before Germany and Korea were divided up into East and West or North and South. Made in Germany/older item: at least 75 years old (used since 1887) Made in West Germany or Made in GDR: 75 - 33 years old Made in Germany/newer item: maximum of 33 years old
