Roleplays' Props | ASMR Antiques Show & Tell #6 | Cozy Basics (soft spoken)

Good evening,

and welcome to this new video about the props

I've used in my roleplays.

So tonight I will mainly show you antiques

that you may have seen on my sets

these last months.

And we're going to dive straight in

with one of my favorite props.

I was so happy when I found this

after weeks of searching.

This is the chess pieces set

That I've used in "The french court's game" roleplay.

It's not from the 18th century of course

not even close to what we could find at this time

as I was looking for pieces with

human heads, human faces,

so I could pretend these were

characters from the Court.

This is a german set,

from the 40s,

and a one-of-a-kind I believe,

probably handmade.

This is not in perfect condition,

some small parts are missing.

But most of the pieces are still undamaged.

And

I just fell in love with their look.

Even if it looks quite modern

I believe their design was inspired

by the Middle-Ages.

All the pieces are carved from

one block of wood

with a square shape.

So here we have...

The white King, the black King.

Queens...

The black knight.

In french we call this one "Le cavalier"

which means "the horse rider".

A white pawn...

The bishop.

In french we call this piece "le fou", "the fool".

Oh yes,

a tower of course.

This one is very simple.

White bishop...

Alright.

Let's put them back...

It always feels like I'm playing Tetris.

The White Queen...

Perfect.

Last one here...

Good.

Alright,

the next props I wanted to show you

are the bottles and phials

I've used in the "hair parlour" roleplays.

So I found many of them

on secondhand websites

and some of them are really lovely

with very interesting shapes.

Like these two :

very high, very "edwardian".

So these are probably from the 50s.

We can still the labels.

One for soaps

and one for bath salts.

It's from the north of France.

And I decided to add some kind

of antique labels on them.

Hair related of course.

And, there was also this set.

Two...

Three...

And four.

These are very elegant.

Probably from the 30s or 40s maybe.

And I really like their design.

It almost looks like it's crystal.

The main piece of the set is

this perfume spray.

But it doesn't work anymore.

And...

There was also some pharmacy pots like this.

These are from the 60s.

And some very common bottles,

on which I added labels as well.

Alright.

And now let's skip to the tarot decks.

So...

I've used 2 different decks

in the fortune teller roleplay.

One small you could see at the very beginning

of the video.

And one that I've used for the reading.

This small one is very nice

because it's made of paper

and it has this authentic look

that modern decks don't have.

Unfortuntely it was a bit too small

for the reading in my opinion.

That's why I didn't use it.

Still I really like how the back is made

even if the printing could have been better

on the front.

This is a reproduction of a french tarot

from the 19th century.

But with a medieval look...

"Madness".

On each card we can see 2 meanings

Depending on if you get the card upright

or reversed.

"Love"

"Desire"

And the other one is

a more modern tarot.

It's from the 60s I think.

But still inspired by the Middle-Ages.

So this is an original card,

very shiny,

it was way too shiny for my video.

So I used tissue paper on both sides.

And it did the job I believe.

So this one is very classic.

Seven of coins...

The Emperor...

Five of swords...

The Moon...

Page of cups...

King of coins...

Alright.

And yes I also read a lot of questions

about the crystal I used at the end of this video.

It is an obsidian mirror.

A piece of obsidian that was polished

until it looks like a mirror.

It was and it is still used to practice divination

Just as you would do with a crystal ball.

The black surface is meant

to help you focus

and let your brain create images.

I'm not sure I'm very good at

this kind of explanations.

As Dolly Parton said

"the magic is inside you

there ain't no crystal ball".

Still I'm fascinated by crystals

there are so many that have

amazing colors or textures.

And this one is really beautiful

with a very mysterious aura.

And this is quite heavy.

Alright.

The next antiques I wanted to show you

are the stereoscopic slides and

the stereoscope

I used in the latest steampunk roleplay.

So these are about 100 years old.

You may be familiar with modern stereocopes

or these magazines

where you can see animals in 3-dimensions

with some kind of glasses.

Well here this is the same concept

but older.

So there are 2 pictures on each slide

with a slightly different framing.

And when looking at both at the same time

you brain will create one image

with a 3D feeling.

This is something that cannot be

reproduced on screen

and that you can only see

by directly looking at the pictures

in a stereoscope.

This one is about 100 years old as well.

Made of wood, plastic and metal.

This is just a box, that lets the light in

through this window.

So these pictures are mainly

from Switzerland.

Landscapes and people in the 20s.

Let's see what we can find here...

Some kind of castle.

People on lakeside,

sitting on benches...

What else...

Trees.

A boat,

on a lake.

And let's skip to the final items.

And these are catalogues.

I wanted to end this video

with some relaxing page flipping

So there is one that I used in my latest video

where I'm one the phone with you

for an order.

And I also found a few others

in french this time

but there were not really in very good condition

that's why I didn't use them.

But since they are about

110 years old

let's not be too strict.

So let's start with this one.

So this one is from 1912.

And it's about household linen.

This is from a big store in Paris

and it still exists actually.

But I've never been in this one.

There is still the samples page in it.

With fabrics...

So you could decide

which one you wanted.

I like this one.

And now let's have a look at the different departments.

Silently...

And I hope you'll sleep well.
