    He may say, he buys nothing for you but in reality everything is for your happiness, including yours. It’s a subvertive way of looking at it and of loving you at the same time. He is simply being sneaky about it.

      No its les romantic as it seems: in my country they call this: marryd whit cold paper(this says all) His parents the house was from: and always stays that way( thats ok and good) but all HE buys on his card: believe me thats also always his, not hers. Iam happy iam not married anymore to my ex for this reason: woman need to work (also) for theirselves: not only to make their husband better! And believe me it feels extremely cheap to only smile and never have the final word to buy something you just like :(

      Perhaps Anna needs to work her tail off at another wedding business so she can go ahead and freely bid & buy things that interest her. We all need to live with things we love and we all should earn, save and spend our own money.

    That is a beautiful and really reasonably priced, silk Persian carpet made in tabriz. Tabriz is very well known as the world centre of carpet weaving.
    Tabriz rugs usually have ivory backgrounds with blue, rose,and indigo motifs. They often feature symmetrical and balanced designs. They usually have a single medallion that is surrounded by vines and palmettos.
    The good rug is valued by its weaving style and the number of the knots that used in the weaving.
    Silk rugs usually very expensive and most of the time they are hanged on the walls like tapestries.
    And that is not a signature, it is the name of the style (old cherbani).

    Loved this vlog! Very interesting to see the prices. Just FYI, Erard pianos are marketed as "the finest pianos in the world" and old, rare or art-case examples are worth 10s of thousands of USD (Chopin owned an Erard). The one you looked at is from the 1920s and would retail, unrestored for about €10,000. @8:20 this is not a desk it is a mid-19th-century English dressing table without its mirror, which is, I think, why they placed the beautiful 18th-century mirror where the original would have been. If it was a writing desk it would have had a writing surface probably made of inlaid leather. The drawer stacks, either side, was a common design feature and the support brackets for the mirror would have been attached to the top of each stack.

    • @maynardgreenhouse
      @maynardgreenhouse 2 роки тому +1

    Interesting pricing for some real period pieces. Helps to know the values and to follow. Rug was and probably still is worth what it was to someone however not worth buying to find out. Investment piece perhaps. Relaxing day to compare unique auction listings. Entertaining Sunday Vlog! Dig the accent on the Auctioneer!

    I loved those two horse paintings! I’m so happy Anna got something. She does so much so she deserves to buy something she likes. But Edd, I was hoping you could get at least one of the horse paintings. Maybe in your brocante visits you will find an exceptional painting hiding behind some furniture at a very cheap price. I love searching for hidden treasures in antique stores. Fun video!! Hope you both had time for a nice lunch at a cafe! 💕💕💕

      @@normamurray4450 not so sure: brat & rat. I admire Ed immensely for his talents and intelligence. This blog is fascinating. I grew up in a historic home and have restored older homes. My mom was an antiques dealer and I'm a designer so their endeavors and talents are appreciated. My impression is Ed doesn't allow Anna equal partnership (gives a little but he prioritizes the decisions and money). Frankly it's none of my business, it's their marriage. I like both of them and the vlog is wonderful.

    One thing that amazes me about any of the furniture pieces you show at the brocantes are at an amazing price. Here in the US if you go to an antique furniture store they have a price about three or four times higher than you have on them in France. But our paintings are cheaper over here than what they sell for over there. We are so sad that you move have to sell your home. It is so beautiful. We are praying there will be a way that you will be able to keep it. Love your videos.

    French Frank to Dollar (there was no Eur) was around 1:8.6 in the 1990s so the carpet was estimated at 11,000 USD originally. Original price tag was left there on purpose of course. At a larger auction today it could have sold for $ 3-5,000 . At 1800 + commission it was a bit of a bargain for 100% silk carpet.

    Sébastien & Pierre Erard the most famous and oldest French piano firm, they were the Steinways of the 19th century and 800 euro is a bargain, equivalent Steinway today would go for 40000-70000 euro ;-) This one is from about 1920-1935.

I am an old-time auction goer ; Therefore, I go with a chart of prices with the auctioneers commission and tax added in so I know what the real price will be if I am bidding. It helps to know what you’re really going to pay when you’re involved in the heat of the moment. Just a thought! Have a great Christmas. Cheers, Larry

    Thnak you for posting this vlog, I found it so interesting! I have never been to an auction before, so it was so great to see your commnets on individual lots and then to see what actually sold and for how much. If I was there and able to afford it that beautiful rug would've definitely been a favorite.

    Antiques are 100 years old, vintage is anything 99 years old or less. I’m enjoying this video, it helps to see what other items are going for. I would not call them everyday items but useful.
