What Findings did we discover at the Flea Market ? [EN - FR]

(Edited)

Hi everyone !

Today I discovered with pleasure that the flea market season has started again ! Indeed, with the nice weather coming back, I will be able to indulge in what was once a real addiction. I couldn't leave a place like this without buying a whole bag of original, strange and possibly useful things - although this is rarely the case !

Yesterday, we were celebrating a friend's birthday and we came home quite late, so I got up accordingly ^^. As an automatism, I connected to the Paris flea market website and discovered that there was one on the north side of the Montmartre hill.

Here is the following coverage...

You may not realize it, but the pavements were crowded, but it was a good photography exercise ! Finding interesting framing, visually interesting things and all this without blocking the traffic ! Tell me what you thought of it haha :)

What I like about these gatherings is the diversity and accumulation. You can find everything and as most of the exhibitors are professionals, you can expect a bit more quality and age in the objects. Then, of course, there is something for everyone !

DSC_0145.JPG

Many stands selling only silverware...

DSC_0154.JPG

Those who make design from the 60s and 70s...

More 'creepy' stands like the one above ! Each element is not necessarily weird in itself but it is the gathering that creates this impression of strangeness.

One of the few things I still buy are old photographs. As a writer, I find that they make perfect documentation, you'll see a bit further on the ones I've selected...

Of course, there are those who collect pin's.

Many tools, kitchen utensils, tables full of old clocks and even piles of orange tiles.

Here are a few stalls grouped together that sell more antique objects from Asia. I confess that I always think that they could just as well be much more recent fakes.

Stalls covered with dishes taking the sun...

DSC_0174.JPG

I also like the way things are arranged, the relationships that develop between things that would never have met in another context... Here I found something else, you have to guess ;)

DSC_0191.JPG

DSC_0209.JPG

Chinese tableware, which is actually made in England, and a small camping table covered with various decorative or everyday ceramic objects...

DSC_0199.JPG

DSC_0203.JPG

DSC_0200.JPG

We end this visual, curious and colorful journey with these few stands, all the while making our way through the crowd...

DSC_0212.JPG

DSC_0219.JPG

I notice this street and this old brick building with its large openings. North Pole Street.

DSC_0229.JPG

Here are my few finds, two books, one on money and its applications and the other on applied psychology.

DSC_0245.JPG

DSC_0248.JPG

Then come a whole series of photos, mostly of landscapes or monuments, with also some scenes with people, in portrait or with wider framing...

DSC_0241.JPG

Finally, two old bells... This is the last collection I still maintain as I find these objects very interesting in terms of sound, origin and shape. By the way, if you have original and authentic bells, I might be interested haha ^^ !

I hope you are well and have a good Sunday. Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoyed your visit !

Take good care and see you soon,

<3

Bonjour à tous, aujourd'hui j'ai découvert avec plaisir que la saison des brocantes était relancée ! En effet avec les beaux jours qui reviennent, je vais pouvoir m'adonner à ce qui fut autrefois une véritable addiction. Je ne pouvais ressortir d'un lieu comme celui-ci sans avoir acheté tout un sac de choses originales, étranges et que je pensais éventuellement utiles - bien que cela soit rarement le cas !

Hier, nous fêtions l'anniversaire d'un ami et nous sommes rentrés assez tard et le lever à donc été en conséquence ^^. Comme par automatisme, je me suis connecté sur le site des brocantes de Paris et j'ai découvert qu'il y en avait une sur la face nord de la colline de Montmartre.

Voilà le reportage qui suit...

DSC_0171.JPG

DSC_0149.JPG

On ne s'en rend pas forcément compte, mais les trottoirs étaient bondées, mais ce fut un bon exercice de photographie justement ! Trouver des cadrages intéressants, de choses intéressantes visuellement et le tout, sans bloquer la circulation ! Vous me direz ce que vous en aurait pensé haha :)

DSC_0129.JPG

DSC_0133.JPG

DSC_0134.JPG

Ce que j'aime dans ces rassemblements, c'est la diversité et l'accumulation. On trouve de tout et comme la plupart des exposants sont des professionnels, on peut s'attendre à un peu plus de qualité et d'ancienneté dans les objets. Après, bien entendu, il y en a pour tous les goûts..!

DSC_0132.JPG

DSC_0145.JPG

Beaucoup de stands qui ne vendent que de l'argenterie...

DSC_0154.JPG

Ceux qui font du design des années 60-70...

DSC_0150.JPG

Des stands plus 'creepy' comme celui juste au dessus ! Chaque élément n'est pas forcément étrange en lui-même mais c'est le rassemblement qui crée cette impression de bizarrerie.

DSC_0158.JPG

DSC_0157.JPG

Une des rares choses que j'achète encore, ce sont des photos anciennes. En tant qu'écrivain, je trouve que cela me fait une documentation parfaite, vous verrez un peu plus loin celle que j'ai sélectionnées...

DSC_0155.JPG

Forcément, on trouve ceux qui collectionnent les pins.

DSC_0161.JPG

DSC_0167.JPG

DSC_0165.JPG

Beaucoup d'outils, d'ustensiles de cuisine, des tables remplies d'horloges anciennes et même des carreaux de céramique oranges.

DSC_0187.JPG

DSC_0177.JPG

DSC_0186.JPG

Ici quelques stands regroupés qui vendent plus des objets anciens venus d'Asie. Je vous avoue que je pense toujours au fait qu'il pourrait tout aussi bien s'agir de faux beaucoup plus récents.

DSC_0182.JPG

Des étals couverts de vaisselles et qui prennent le soleil...

DSC_0172.JPG

DSC_0174.JPG

J'aime aussi comment les choses sont disposées, les rapports qui se tissent entre des choses qui ne se seraient jamais rencontrées dans un autre contexte... Là j'ai trouvé autre chose, à vous de devinez ;)

DSC_0191.JPG

DSC_0209.JPG

De la vaisselle chinoise, qui est en fait fabriquée en Angleterre et une petite table de camping couverte de divers objets décoratifs ou usuels en céramique...

DSC_0199.JPG

DSC_0203.JPG

DSC_0200.JPG

Nous terminons ce voyage visuel, curieux et coloré par ces quelques stands, le tout en nous frayant un passage parmi la foule...

DSC_0212.JPG

DSC_0219.JPG

Je remarque cette rue et ce bâtiment en brique ancien avec ses larges ouvertures. Rue du Pôle Nord.

DSC_0229.JPG

Voilà mes quelques trouvailles, deux livres, l'un sur la monnaie et ses applications et l'autre sur la psychologie appliquée.

DSC_0245.JPG

DSC_0248.JPG

Viennent ensuite toute une série de photos, la plupart de paysages ou de monuments, avec aussi quelques scènes avec des personnages, en portait ou bien avec des cadrages plus larges...

DSC_0241.JPG

Pour terminer, deux grelots anciens... C'est la dernière collection que j'entretiens encore comme je trouve ces objets très intéressants autant au point de vue de la sonorité, de l'origine et de la forme. D'ailleurs, si vous avez des grelots originaux et authentiques, je pourrais peut-être être intéressé haha ^^ !

J'espère que vous allez bien et que vous passez un bon dimanche. Merci pour le temps de votre visite en espérant que celle-ci vous ai plût !

Prenez soin de vous et à très bientôt,

<3

Porcelain!
It is very easy to check whether it is fake or not, although English is significantly different from the others, it is heavier, brittle and has a different texture.
I'm always hunting for vintage pieces, I'm so sorry that this kind of flea market is not held here.

Serbia here! Lack of good pieces on our flea market [near capital only], no one care about the presentation, you have to dig like on a dump.:D

Thanks you for the tips 😉 will try to set that in action for the next flea markets !

Glad to share, had a chance to work with and learn a bit about it.

Looking forward to it!

Oh, that's nice ! Thanks you for sharing that article :)
My girlfriend is also a ceramist, but not really specialized in porcelain..

Haha, I can imagine that, there's some part of flea markets that look a bit like that here too ^^ !

Have a nice day 🍀

That is so cool! I guess she is more into pottery, which is also fantastic!

Have a nice day 🍀

Thank you!
