Not Quite a Chateau DIY 244 - French Brocantes Galore - Antiques - Vintage - Flea Markets & Bargains

A Brocante and Flea Market Fest during a Two day French Bank Holiday/ Fete Day. We went to several vide greniers/brocantes/flea markets and found quite a few bargains and had fun meeting up with friends.

We are Tony and Jane and we are living in and renovating our old Relais De Poste/Coaching Inn.
We live in the middle of France in a region called The Berry.
We have over 40 rooms to renovate so there is plenty of work to be done. We also love to trawl the local Brocantes, flea markets and antique shops for quirky furnishings and furniture.
We love to find out about local history and often visit other peoples buildings including our friends’ Chateaux.

    The scrolls are a great find. So many uses for them. Gates balconies doors signage or flower pot hangers. Outdoor lamps. Tony can have fun with those. Would be good to frame a window as well.😊

    I'm no expert but, if it's old, then I suspect the scrimshaw on the tusk with the carving of John Paul Jones may be worth some serious money. At 19:33, regarding the brass piece with the initials S L d H; could they signify Societe Legion d'Honneur?

    I didn't ask the price of the scrimshaw tusk, but it had a Do not touch label on it, which usually means it is expensive Theophilus. You are right about the Legion d'Honneur, thank you for the info x
