How to go Antiquing, A Strategic Approach with Rajiv Surendra

Video Description

Antiquing...thrifting...treasure-hunting; Rajiv takes this activity very seriously, having objects in his life that are beautiful, useful and also meaningful all at the same time. Rajiv's home is made up of a mix of both new and old things — furniture, tools, utensils and linens that have been carefully acquired over the years. These objects were often made with pride, care and attention to form, giving them timeless beauty. Sifting through antiques—or junk—can be overwhelming if you're not accustomed to the process, but today Rajiv shares the approach to his favorite leisure activity when he's out of town. 🔴 RECOMMENDED VIDEOS/PLAYLISTS 🎥 VIDEO: My Updated Apartment Tour: https://youtu.be/cwurWeffwNA 🎥 VIDEO: MY NYTimes Storage Organization Tour: https://youtu.be/XmYKT21Oi54 🎥 VIDEO: Tidying Your Mind: https://youtu.be/2-cyLX2eAn0 🎥 VIDEO: How to Wash your Whites: https://youtu.be/R87SIgGC20k 🎥 VIDEO: Wrapping Gifts Using No Tape: https://youtu.be/vm3dR4jhImU 🎥 VIDEO: How To Walk In Public: https://youtu.be/J8ekcTmj9SI 🎥 LIST: Rajiv Surendra's Playlist Season 1: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8oeCSojnMR42JWN44vX_hmJ0xCF1ZLG- Visit my shop: https://www.rajivsurendra.com/pages/shop ★ TABLE OF CONTENTS ★ - 0:00 | Introduction: Antiquing Saturday Afternoon - 0:07 | Traveling America for Antique Hunting - 0:26 | Red Barn Antique Mall, Indiana - 0:41 | The Working Mindset of Antiquing - 1:04 | Robot Scanning Mode - 1:11 | Sifting Junk to Find Treasure - 1:27 | What Am I Looking For? - 1:39 | McCoy Pottery Example - 2:05 | Finding "The Real McCoy" - 2:12 | My Collection List - 2:22 | Looking for English Sterling Silver - 2:53 | Finding the Unexpected - 3:13 | Let's Do This Together - 3:17 | Beautiful Yellowware Mixing Bowls - 3:51 | Experience: Pick It Up - 4:05 | 10+ Years at Pioneer Village Toronto - 4:31 | Learning Through Research - 5:11 | Firing 30 Bowls Stacked in Kiln - 5:39 | Knife Sharpening on Bowls - 6:14 | Great Condition and Price - 6:19 | Learning About Antique Prices - 6:32 | $34 Bowl Usually $90-120 - 6:59 | Finding Beautiful Spice Jar - 7:14 | Dumping Store Spices into Old Containers - 7:29 | Small Kitchen Space Management - 8:05 | Like Going to a Museum - 8:41 | Hand-Stitched Lining Details - 9:29 | Crock for Kitchen Counter Tools - 9:51 | Copying Christian's Style - 10:19 | Pet Bowls for Your Pets - 10:27 | Robinson Ransbottom Dog Bowls - 10:35 | Roseville, Ohio Pottery - 11:09 | My Dog Bowl for Prince - 11:21 | $16 Tiny Bowl - 12:46 | Subtle Curve to Rim and Foot - 12:54 | Work of Art That's Functional - 13:04 | Finding a Crack - That's a No-No - 13:14 | America's Next Top Model for Bowls - 14:48 | $52 - Perfect Condition, Great Price - 15:04 | Can't Justify - No Space - 15:30 | Old Version vs Newer Version - 16:08 | Modern Version Comparison - 16:44 | Night and Day Difference - 17:47 | Objects as Travel Souvenirs - 18:08 | Using Daily, Adding Meaning - 19:03 | Says D-O-G on It! - 19:23 | $50 in Connecticut, $15 in Indiana - 19:36 | Definitely Being Purchased - 19:51 | The Subtle Victorian Circus Font - 20:07 | Victorian Sign Painting - 20:15 | Simple Statement: "DOG" - 20:28 | Find One Thing That Makes You Happy - 20:50 | The Feeling Never Goes Away - 21:28 | The Gem, The Find of the Day 💡 TOPICS IN THIS VIDEO 💡 - Antiquing Tutorial - Thrift Shopping Strategy - Treasure Hunting Mindset - Scanning for Antiques - McCoy Pottery Collecting - Ironstone Collection - Yellowware Collecting - English Sterling Silver - Vintage Linens - Mason Jars - American Mixing Bowls - Roseville Ohio Pottery - Learning Through Experience - Pioneer Village Toronto - Guy Wolff Pottery Mentor - Chime Ring Explanation - Kiln Firing Techniques - Stacking Bowls in Kiln - Knife Sharpening on Bowls - Antique Pricing Knowledge - Perfect Condition Inspection - Vintage Spice Jars - Small Kitchen Organization - Museum-Like Antiquing - Hand-Stitched Details - Kitchen Counter Crocks - Robinson Ransbottom Pottery - Yellowware Pet Dishes - Dog Bowl D-O-G Marking - Carrying Baskets Not Bags - 1860s-1880s Yellowware - Slip Trail Decoration - Bowl Profile Appreciation - Functional Art - Crack Detection - Old vs New Comparison - Modern Reproductions - Objects as Travel Souvenirs - Memory-Imbued Items - Victorian Circus Fonts - Sign Painting Lettering - Price Comparison Across States - The Thrill of Discovery - Utilitarian Beauty f you enjoy Rajiv's videos and would like to see more, please contribute to the gofundme campaign that is raising the funds to produce the content on this channel: https://gofund.me/fbcb3a22 ✅ Instagram: / rajivsurendra ✅ TikTok: / rajivsurendra_ ✅ Twitter: / rajivsurendra 🔴 ** ABOUT THIS CHANNEL ** Welcome to my YouTube Channel!
