  • You've never seen an apartment like this before. The cathedral ceilings in Nicholas Lowry's Gramercy Park apartment are 27 feet high. There are eight gargoyles. And more beautiful items from bygone years than you've ever seen. It's simply incredible. When I walked in to film, my jaw dropped in wonderment.
    Nicho is president of Swann Auction Galleries in New York City and is also the Director of Swann’s Vintage Posters Department. As one of the world’s foremost authorities on vintage posters, he has spent nearly 25 years serving regularly as poster appraiser on the PBS television show Antiques Roadshow.

    "Bohemian post-apocalyptic garage-sale chic" is now my inspired aesthetic.
    Loved everything about this.

    Nothing against the current trending of minimalism, but I appreciate this guy for recognizing and staying true to his desires and passion and isn't shy to freely express them in his home. Would love to spend an afternoon having a drink with this man and listen to his telling of all the amazing stories behind his little collections.

      My FAVORITE appraiser on AR!! I've been fighting my life long "collector" urges and have tried so hard to jump on the "minimalist" approach to life. BUT, it causes me more distress to live without the little discoveries that give me joy than it does to give them away to create a less cluttered environment. Thanks Nicho, for validating that it's OK to do my own thing and not feel the trendy need to revamp my CLEAN and wonderfully collection-filled home! ❤🥰👍😄🥳

    He invented a new style...hoarder chic. Love his inventive way of displaying all his stuff.

    SO much more interesting than the “tastefully” boring, overly curated (by expensive decorators) white boxes that populate these channels. I wish you would have shown more!! 👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️

      @evan7743 2 роки тому +2

      Hmm, there’s a fine line between character and hoarder. It’s probably hard to refrain from collecting evermore stuff due to his job.

    I am so amazed with him and his apartment. I , too, am a maximalist. I have vintage items staged. Friends love my place.
    What an inspiration. Please do more videos, like this one…

  • @karenstanislaw8912
    @karenstanislaw8912 2 роки тому +122

    I've got a crush on this video. -One of Homeworthy's most exciting to date. Lucky is the spirit expressing, maneuvering around, purchasing, taking solace and refuge in - the stuff that ignites their guts. I agree with Nicholas's mother . Bravo.

    • @rosehill1595

    Nick was always one of my favorite appraisers on AR. He has such a pleasant, fun vibe when he talks with people. I love his unique style of dress, he always looks fabulous! I was thrilled to see this video. That apartment is fabulous! The ceilings and detailed woodwork is amazing. By the comments here some people don't like the "clutter" but I don't see a thing wrong with it. I see a lot of beautiful things. I also see his sense of humor and joy of life. If you were fortunate enough to be invited over, it would be so much fun to look at his treasures. What interesting stories he could tell about his collections. Loved this video, can't wait to see more!

    • @Carolll9

    @fool4singing 2 роки тому +34

    For all of us who've been watching Antiques Roadshow from the beginning, it only natural to wonder how their appraisers live and collect. Nicho doesn't disappoint! Like Diana Vreeland always said; "the eye has to travel," and you certainly get a work out looking at all of Nicho's treasures. Truly fascinating!

    Nicholas Lowry's collection of plants & trees are awesome. Aside from his great eclectic taste evident with his decor, he has made his living environment healthy with all that greenery!

    Beautiful. This makes my heart race. Seeing that there are people in the world who appreciate very old items today is a joy. This reminds me of being on city house tours when I was young in the '70s & '80s and being attracted to the eclectic homes. I've surrounded myself most of my life with old items, some from my family going back to the 19th Century, others that I've purchased: furniture, clothing, ephemera, signage, photographs, dishware...It's satisfying looking at a home that is not leaning toward minimalism.

    This guy is terrific. I love his playful style. I never knew where my ecclectic method of collection and display could possibly fit until now. He is lucky to have so many plaid suits too. What a fashion statement he makes. He is blessed to have a swifter wielding helper. I am envious.

  • @jekku4688
    @jekku4688 Рік тому +3

    After seeing this guy talk about his wondrous apartment, I think I should embrace the truth: I am a maximalist, verging on hoarding, too. I've tried tried tried to do the minimalist things, always to no avail. I adore his quirky, unique style that is JUST HIM. His plaid suit collection is amazing, and I love how he embraces all of the things that make him who he is. I'm the same way: I just like things for what they are, and how they make me feel. Two of my favorite found items are a pair of printer, or typesetter trays - large wood trays about 1.5 inches high, with a myriad of different sized compartments that are absolutely perfect for my myriad pairs of earrings!

  • @toula888
    @toula888 Рік тому +2

    I find Nicho, his home and collections so interesting. Imagine having a coffee with him and listening to his stories behind the items. That's why I love antiques so much. They tell a story of a bygone era that makes your imagination travel back to that time.

His home isn't what I would have expected and I'd hate to be the person that helps him clean :) But he has everything that sparks his fancy or curiosity and on display to touch or start a conversation. Fascinating. Tilda is fabulous!

    i too love things, and lots of different types of things.
    i'm glad to see so many plants thrown into the mix.
    oftentimes collectors spaces are overwhelming because they lack the freshness of plant life.

    WOW this man and this apartment is everything, fabulous, wonderful, eclectic, colourful and so very entertaining. I could spend a month in that room and never be bored or tired of it. As he says, who wants to live in a boring white box, LOL.
