Giant Antique & Art Center Block Makes Vintage Shopping Fun!

- An enormous, catacomb laden block at the edge of the Butchertown district has long been the home of Mellwood Antique Mall & Interiors! Joined to the city's burgeoning art center in one big art & design district, this place has long been known as a furnishings center...but not a place where I could shop for resale. Will today be different?
It sure is! This huge mall has benefitted from refugee dealers coming in from the nearby (and now defunct) Crazy Daisy mall, bringing a touch of modernism, a bevy of smalls and a general sense of reinvigoration to what was a stately but staid mall in the past. We find a lot to catch our eye right away, from Eva Zeisel Harlequin dinnerware and a Culver hot orange beverage set to a deep ruby castor set and sterling mint julep cups for your next Derby party!
I love showing off the great stuff in a well appointed shop like this, but as a reseller, I need to ferret out some deals as well! This humongous antique center has endless aisles of spaces where the dig is on, and we find Marwal busts, a Hubley cast iron cat doorstop, pretty 1930s pottery and some surprisingly underpriced porcelain that we know we can flip for a profit. We show how to save on the sales tax as we check out, making oiur first ever purchases here!
This mall has really changed for the better, and we only scratched the surface, so we'll be back to bargain hunt another day!

Thank you sir for continuing to satisfy and to IMPRESS us . We shouldn't put TH-cam resellers on a pedestal, and then be disappointed when we are gullible and foolish with our money. The education you bring to us is well worth your pricing. Please continue to be true to your audience for I for one will continue to admire your integrity.
Love it when Xeno does not distract you. Just want you and what YOU ARE INTERESTED IN. THANKS
Sometimes he spots things I wouldn't, but it's a different experience doing it solo
Thank you for taking us along.
Good evening everyone 🦩🌴🌞
Wow, while George, this was before you fell out of bed and busted your nog. And did Zino Put that segment in of the cone heads that was hilarious. Y'all be safe and don't fall out of bed again.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊
Roadtrip!
I was trying to remember th difference between parquetry and marquetry and then you told me on the screen! Thanks George.
You are so knowledgeable and are very relaxing to listen to! I feel like I have been to a class after watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing!
I used to have a friend and neighbor, Susanne who had that Surrey. We spent many hours riding up and down the sidewalk, usually singing away.
I chuckled at the 'Lipstick First' comment. Yes, always (almost) ;-)
What a great antique mall. It would take hours for sure to go through every booth.
Wow George!! This video was super jam packed with information!! I LOVED IT!!!❤
Ah, the Coneheads!
I saw some stuff in there that I really liked. That desk that had the key at the front desk was my favorite! Thanks for showing us, George!💚💚💚
You got me again 😂😂😂😂 have someone you don't like sit on this chair!!! 😂😂😂😂
Great video George. Thanks.
😂George, I agree with you about backwards or upside tags on pieces in locked cases, which is quite off-putting. In my opinion, dealers lose more potential sales than they gain from this trick. Finally, on an unrelated topic, I purchased a Kmart uniform shirt from you a while back. Tomorrow, it's going to be the key piece for my Blue Light Special Halloween costume.
LOL, soooo happy and not surprised that U weren’t raised w/baby talk. ;-)
My mom''s mom was very strict about that, having been raised by Victorian parents
This is a great place, with amazing treasures🥰
Oh my, the orange on gold glass set was great!!
Yes!!! 🙌🏻
Everyone liked that one
Hi George , Jamie and Terri from Hamilton Ontario Canada Looking forward to another great video.😄
Oh, so good to have my friends in Canada with me on this adventure!
I went to England, and you are right George. They didn't like flow blue at all. Wrinkled their noses at it. They loved blue and white Staffordshire.
More for us❤❤😊
I’m English and it’s definitely a thing. My grandmother wouldn’t have flow blue in the house. She had a full dinner service of Blue Willow Pattern. Terrible snobs us Brits!
Another great video. Thanks for sharing George. We truly appreciate your knowledge.
Great video George! Loved the groovy orange and gold Culver glassware. Thanks for sharing!
Me too, that's a very cool modern set!
sweet
This mall is GREAT!!! I could spend hours walking around and looking at all the cool stuff. That plaid table was neat as well. Thanks for sharing and you have a great day. Safe travels
Love the things you have shown us. That orange set of glassware is fantastic. Don't think I have ever seen those.
Another great video. Enjoy learning from you. Thank you for sharing. ❤ JoAnn
Amazing mall. We come from France 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Great items and amazing info thanks George 😊
My pleasure!
We easily spent 3 hours there. So many nice things! The cases were great too.
Thanks George, that brought me to my childhood love your videos California
At 8:58 the doll house is great, that is one of the things I do in my spare time and love looking at the older ones to get different ideas on decoration and the use of different materials they used. That one is unique the tiles used on the roof are hand made. Thanks for sharing that one.
So much fun, George and you are sooo funny! Wish I could remember 1/4 what you tell us every show. Thanks and do take care in your travels. Cat
I admire that trophy vase so very much. Also the Church lamps 🙌🏻 My parents were very much opposed to baby talk also!😮 Looking back I appreciate that. I also used that upbringing with my sons. Now I can have riveting conversations with them. I’m editing to add… I really want a marble top table. It’s going to tough to find here with my price cap.e 22:35
I'm not surprised from your very literate conversation that "goo goo" was not spoken in your house! It does help later. I do like the trophy vases so much, and the church lamps still attract me even though I sold mine.
Beautiful things.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
We are watching later because we have been getting ready for a Halloween party. Pat wants you to know he’s glad you finally scored. 😂
Thank you, Pat, it took long enough at this place! Lol.
The BC comic pieces are my favorite; I bought my dad a cookie jar and pitcher a long time ago...love them!
My 1st live with you. 😊 Oh oops not a live!
Well, it's a live premiere chat, every Monday and Wednesday at 8 pm eastern! We do live content over on The Antique Nomad Live channel.
You are so appreciated by so many and this is why...wow...thanks so much..Do they have a nice safe inexpensive hotel close? I could spend a week there...lol..so much fun and always an education...thanks George.
The one thing I would have picked up was the hubley cat.
I did, and I was glad I did! Actually, nearly everything I got there sold right away
Good evening, George! That castor set was fantastic! I've always wanted one, but nowhere to put one. I have one of those McCoy grape vases. I've been to New Orleans _many_ times, but I've never tried a mint julep. I'm loving the religious statuary! Some of the best artwork I've seen is in religious artwork. That side-by-side, with the cylinder desk, had me almost drooling 😂 I would've paid $48.00 for that Flow Blue cup and saucer. Those marble topped tables were phenomenal! We have a few Victorian marble topped tables, and they are really nice. That mall looked like a place you could spend a couple days shopping. Lots of nice items. Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for sharing !!!
Just in love!!!
Oh George, tarnished silverplate is all the rage!! Lol! I love mine and don’t polish it but every year or two! Actually don’t mind it tarnished at all.
Hi there!
27:56 The console/desk is nice, but I liked the chair. I grew up with the Victorian marble-top table and chairs etc in the house. All family pieces. I'm still using my grandparents Arts& Crafts living room set! We pulled out the dusty stuffing back in the early 90s, but the original leather is under the padding and upholstery. I prefer that couch to the one my mom bought at about the same time - 90s. George probably would too.(LOL)
Fantastic! I’ll have to check this one out!
I see a lot of Marwal dogs in Indiana. No where else though.
HI George, lots of personality in this one!!! Sometimes you are so dang funny!!! It's always so unexpected and then you get me! Thank you for recalling Louisville to mind. One can always tell where the person's from depending on their pronuciation! 😉
Wow 380.00 a piece must want to keep lol
Blue plate us not flo blue but is historical staffordshire, is earlier then flo blue!
Hi George, what do you think of this trend of bleaching furniture and totally removing the finish. I don’t understand it at all.
I love the B.C, set of tumblers! B.C. has a definite nostalgic feeling for me because of the Seabrook Nuclear Facility- "Clams have Hands"!
Oh that's funny! Yes
That's a really interesting antique mall and your commentary is very informative. Thanks for a great video. Do you ever get up to Canada? There's an antique mall just outside Vancouver in Fort Langley, called Village Antiques, that you might like.
No baby talk at our house either
This is my hometown antique mall (and interiors). One of my favorite weekend activities is to ‘get lost in there’ for a few hours! ♥️ I wondered if you found the semi- secret book room or the train room.
Really enjoy these videos! Appreciate your vast knowledge of these items. Currently I am relying on looking at marks when thrifting need to study more probably left some good McCoy pieces behind several times :(
I have Barbie n Ken wedding cake toppers
Gotta disagree about the music box. If it is worth the money, it can be repaired. Either is is what people call "overwound" - which isn't overwound - you cannot overwind a mainspring. However the grease can get gummy and prevent the spring from releasing. There are videos on You Tube on how to fix that easily. Or the mainspring is broken - they can get brittle and shatter. That, too, is not a difficult repair - if the piece is worth it. Any clockmaker can replace a mainspring. Takes minutes.
I guess I am jaded, I know other people are more dexterous than I am, but I have had mixed success when I have tried to fix them myself. Your description of what happens is much clearer than saying "overwound", and you are right that for some people, this would be an easy fix!
Four older brothers I never had doll house
❤️🇨🇦
How come u never post anything that is primitive
I like primitives and will when I see interesting ones! I showed a lot from a show in Michigan and a show in Ohio that had them. I have not been finding a lot of primitives that are real lately, I'm seeing a lot of barnboards made into something and painted white
😊😊😊
