Shopping For Antiques With Nicolas Fairford

The hat looks very good on you! ❤️🙏

Milton? I recall from British Literature: Milton! Thou should’st be alive at this hour. England is a fen of stagnant waters!” Who wrote that? Thanks Nicolas, lovely - Happy Valentine’s Day❤

Where’s The BF Q&A?❤

Some people say "More Cowbell!" I say more Antique Shoppe Vlogs!!!! WOW Treasure Trove!

Leider sind die sog. "Schwenks" mit der Kamera immer wieder zu schnell, so dass das Bild verzerrt ist und das Auge keinen Ruhepunkt finden kann. Schade.

I love antique shops and markets like that. Thank you for taking us along

wonderfully overwhelming

It would seem an International Interior Designer would have more knowledge of furniture styles.

I like many of the more ornate pieces juxtaposed against very modern interiors. I love that vibe.

Nicholas, I really believe you are a gentleman from the 1800's and here visiting. ❤

We are visiting there in the Fall, could you please tell me the name of the store? Love the video!

Please tell me the name of the antique store.

Love antiques and old fashion furniture ❤❤ thank you for sharing 🎉🎉

Well, I once heard that if you wanted to see really fine old mahogany furniture, the place to go is Scotland. Now I know it's true - that place was astounding.

We are missing out on so much in tinsel town America. 😊

your carrot cakes and tulips are beautiful--and Sophie is looking at you so adoringly....such a pretty picture...dts/usa

😊A nice old top hat makes a perfect ornament displayed on a shelf next to some antique books and magazines e.g. “Punch”. Even better if it comes with its own storage case. Sometimes you have to “think outside the box” Nicolas.

Enjoyed your video but you could some more education on antiques. Always helpful to know an easy chair from a Windsor chair. But what a great start to a promising career!

I enjoyed antique shopping with you. I noticed there were so many dining room chairs and tables. Is the dining room becoming extinct in Scotland as it is in the USA? I reluctantly gave up my dining room and regret it now. I loved seeing my beautiful dishes and serving pieces on display rather than having them brought out once or twice a year. But I do love to see your elegant home and am happy you live beautifully.

Top hat looks rather dapper Nicolas

As soon as I'm done watching this video, I'm on the phone booking flights to Edenbury... Edenboro....Scotland...to find that antique shop. I want one of those piano stools, and a foot stool and a small chest of drawers. Maybe I'll bump into you Nick. Please bring one of those carrot cupcakes. You can point me in the direction of a tea house. :🙂

Where is this shop in Edinburgh?

Nice video, thanks. You should buy that dolls house.

Hello Nicholas, Well, I was immediately enthralled with the dolls house as my father brought one home when I was about 12, but being a boy, it wasn't meant for me but my younger sisters who incidentally were not the slightest bit interested. It languished in our basement, huge, old and lonely. I was captivated by it but regretfully never even thought of redecorating it. It was professionally handmade and a copy of the 3 story historic home a distant cousin lived in. Completely furnished, it even had electric lights you could switch on and off... I just hadn't found my calling yet. And I was busy trying to fashion a pair of trousers out of some colorful plastic inflatable water rafts ... who knew that stitching them would perforate them causing them to come apart at every seam the first wearing?
I loved the visit to the antiques market as we don't really have the history here in the US to find many things from the past discarded. Now and then but those things tend to end up at estate sales. I was a bit disappointed when you found something you liked but didn't tell us the price.
I also thought the top-hat looked very good on you and would have been a fun look for every day wear which certainly would make you a character in any crowd.
I can't wait to try your carrot cupcake recipe as well. Ours, although I have not tried everyone's, tend to be much blander without all the spices you mention. But at the moment the oven is my repository for loads of china which I also collect and are boxed inside. I'll make some changes.
The book you spoke of is the one that got away. I am referring to the Howard Slatkin one, 5th Avenue Style. I vacillated about buying it at the time but now it is out of print and the ones available anywhere are in the hundreds of dollars. I have looked through it though and was very impressed with his taste. I'll keep searching for it to add to my existing library of interior design books. I get completely lost in them. I can try to send you a list or better yet a photo of the hundreds I already own. 5500+ pounds last time I moved! Can YOU say OCD?
Ok, this is too long for a comment but wanted you to know I can relate to most of what you seem to be intrigued by. Me too! Hope your tea party goes well. Cheers from Chicago!

The Hat looks good on you.

Some beautiful antiques. New to your sight
Same taste as mine. You say the same thing as I do, I have a thing for. ....
Happy shopping

If you wanted a project I reckon you'd make a far, far better dolls' house than the one!

Beautiful ❤️ visit 💕

Staffordshire dogs m NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

the dog statues are cute

You may want to gold leaf the legs of your tables!?

We don't see antiques like yours here in the Wilds of Northern Idaho !! Nicholas I too, live to imagine the previous owners ...isnt that what some psychics forte????...! Much love!!!!! I'm a new subscriber who looks forward to the quality and fun of all the soon to be "Nicolas Fairford !!!!

Thank you taking us to your antique shop! So interesting because I live in the USA. So difference from here! I saw so many things I would love to have!!

I would need at least 3 hours and bring a lunch when visiting. Maybe add an additional hour to talk myself out of buying too many items. ;)

Cupcake tin liners! Great to start seeing you again — Missed you*

Lovely things but prices seem very high. Is there room for negotiation in these types of shops?🇨🇦

Spent many hours at Georgian Antiques shopping for furnishings for Nunraw Tower, Garvald. The Dixon brothers and staff were so very gracious and helpful

some folks use a book shelf as a nightstand on one side of their
bed. A table and a tall lamp on the other side lol I’d put the hat
and a pair of gloves on a shelf

All of this stuff carries energy from the previous owners, a lot of it is tacky and absolutely impractical. I understand a bit of nostalgia but this is … a lot of nostalgia 😂

Very enjoyable video, from the antiques to the cupcakes with tea!🫖 thank you, Nicolas. Love from Mexico 🇲🇽❤️🇬🇧

Sexy Boy

You look very dashing in that top hat..! It suits you..! You definitely should give it a home. ❤️❤️❤️ x
