0:00:02 > 0:00:03Welcome to Cash In The Attic,
0:00:03 > 0:00:09programme that helps you search out those hidden treasures in your home and then sell them at auction.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Today I'm in North London and I stopped off to enjoy this rather splendid Georgian country house.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21Hendon Hall was built in 1756 and is believed to have been the home of David Garrick,
0:00:21 > 0:00:27the famous 18th-century actor and manager of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31After a number of years as a school, the hall was turned into a luxury hotel,
0:00:31 > 0:00:37and it was here that the England football squad stayed in 1966, the night before winning the World Cup.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Well, let's hope we'll be able to find antiques and collectables
0:00:41 > 0:00:45which will give a star performance when they go under the hammer at auction.
0:01:05 > 0:01:11Today on Cash In The Attic, it's family affair. What a team! Mother and daughter, already hard at work.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15With girls who aren't afraid to speak their mind.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- I think it's worth a lot more. - 50 quid?!
0:01:18 > 0:01:22I know what Swarovski crystals cost if you have to buy something.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25At the auction, Jonty is almost lost for words.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- 500! - HE GASPS - My word!
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Find out why when today's collectables go under the hammer.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I'm off to meet a fashion-conscious,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38hard-working mother and daughter who've called in the team
0:01:38 > 0:01:43to help them raise money because they think it's time they had a bit of pampering.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Christine and her daughter Jo have collected many antiques over the years.
0:01:47 > 0:01:53Now their home is packed with a wide variety of items, so it should be a very interesting day.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Morning, Jonty.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- What are you doing up there? - A bit taller than you for a change.
0:01:59 > 0:02:05I'm glad to see you looking really dapper today, because we're about to meet two ladies who are designers.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10- Good. I hope they've got some stylish antiques.- I'm sure they will. Let's see what they've got.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Christine, Jo, what a team! Mother and daughter.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22Already hard at work. So why have you called in Cash In The Attic?
0:02:22 > 0:02:27I'd like to declutter because I have so much stuff. I'm getting too old for dusting every day.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Have you earmarked some stuff?
0:02:29 > 0:02:35The things I like have been put away, but there are some nice bits that can still go.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37What are you going to spend the money on?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Health farm, massage, treatments.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Body, face, the lot. Hair, nails.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45And how much do you reckon it'll cost?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47If we get £500, I'll be happy.
0:02:47 > 0:02:53It takes more than fingers crossed to raise £500, it takes "Roll up your sleeves and let's get to work",
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- so why don't we do just that? - All right.- Let's go.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Christine's treasures will keep us busy rummaging all day.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04But to be sure the girls enjoy their luxury pampering experience, we have to make £500.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Jonty's the first to find something worth admiring, amongst a glorious collection of glass.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- Jonty. Christine and Jo.- Hi.- Hi.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19That's a handsome-looking jug, Christine.
0:03:19 > 0:03:25- Where did that come from? - I was engaged to a guy that lasted three days, from Sunday to Tuesday.
0:03:25 > 0:03:31He told me I could keep the ring, and I thought, I don't want to wear his ring, so I took it to the shop.
0:03:31 > 0:03:37I said, "I don't want any money but I want to take goods to the value of the ring."
0:03:37 > 0:03:42This is a claret jug and they usually come in this style.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44They usually have a cut-glass base,
0:03:44 > 0:03:48and more often than not you get silvered tops to them,
0:03:48 > 0:03:54in varying styles, and that is how you can date them, by looking at the design they've used,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56usuallyb on the top.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Looking at the style of this, this has a very 19th century feel,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03but I believe it just to be a bit later than that.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08I would suspect that this claret jug would be made in the 1920s.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Because it's not silver, we're looking a figure of £40-£50, maybe £60.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16If it's going to stop me polishing, it has to go.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20It's a start, that's for sure, but I think your pampering is
0:04:20 > 0:04:24going to cost a bit more than that, so let's see what else we can find.
0:04:24 > 0:04:31Estimated at up to £60, this traditional early 20th century silver-plated claret jug
0:04:31 > 0:04:33has given us a great start.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38With so many antiques, it's difficult to know where to start or what to choose from.
0:04:40 > 0:04:46So let's hope we'll enjoy the sweet smell of success with Jo's first discovery.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Jonty, check this out. I believe that's good name.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Lalique, Paris. Let's have a look.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- It looks like it's never been used. - I doubt it has.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Perhaps we can get it out. Rene Lalique was one of the most influential
0:05:01 > 0:05:04art glass designers of the 20th century.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Originally he was designing jewellery...- Right.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09..but he was then asked to design scent bottles,
0:05:09 > 0:05:16so his signature label is this frosted, often opalescent glass.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Let's have a look on the underside.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- This is etched "Lalique, France," on the underside there.- Right.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- Yes.- So that's very nice to see.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- It's good news that this has never been...looks like it has never been used.- Good.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32It's great we have the box,
0:05:32 > 0:05:37and I suppose value at auction would be, I suppose, between £40-£60.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42- Will Mum be pleased with that? - I doubt it! - HE CHUCKLES
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Right. Let's pop it back in the box. Let's see what else we can find.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50Rene Lalique died in 1945, but the firm he founded is still active today,
0:05:50 > 0:05:55so I wonder if this latter-day piece will attract interest.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59As the rummage continues, Jo shows us that she's on the ball
0:05:59 > 0:06:02with two carved soapstone Buddhas.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05The laughing Buddha symbolises luck and generosity -
0:06:05 > 0:06:06will he bring us good fortune?
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Downstairs, I am curious about my next find.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16Christine, in your work room there is this absolutely beautiful lump of crystal,
0:06:16 > 0:06:20but the name on the bottom, Swarovski,
0:06:20 > 0:06:25is a very important name in the crystal world, and I bet Jonty knows a lot about this.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Jonty, come and take a look at this.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32- This beautiful lump of crystal. - Look at the colour. It's quite extraordinary, isn't it?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36And yes, the name "Swarovski" on the underside.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41One of the biggest factories in production today, selling glass,
0:06:41 > 0:06:47and it was Daniel Swarovski who founded it. He comes from modern-day Czechoslovakia, which is Bohemia,
0:06:47 > 0:06:52which is where all that wonderful glass came from,
0:06:52 > 0:06:56and because he had a march on everybody else, his business really took off,
0:06:56 > 0:06:59and it's gone from strength to strength.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01How much do you think it is worth, Jonty?
0:07:01 > 0:07:05If I was to look into my crystal ball and give you a value,
0:07:05 > 0:07:11- I suppose we are looking at £50-£70. - I think it's worth a lot more. - What makes you think that?
0:07:11 > 0:07:17They are very limited editions and it was worth then £300.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22- So this is something you seriously want to think about, whether or not you take it?- Yes.
0:07:22 > 0:07:28So, if you're going to think about that, Christine, you need to put that away somewhere safe,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30and we'll wait until auction day.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35If it's not going to come to auction, we'll have to find some other things!
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Back to work, guys.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Christine clearly loves her glassware.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44First, the Lalique and now the Swarovski, also dating from the early '70s.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Their age, less than 40 years old, may explain why the items are worth
0:07:48 > 0:07:52less in Jonty's eyes than Christine was hoping for.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57Here's hoping these three striking glass ornaments WILL help to boost our funds.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02They are estimated to fetch between £40-£60.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06As you can see from this beautiful garden, Christine enjoys working as a designer,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09so it's time to find out a little more about her career.
0:08:09 > 0:08:15This is a good old rumpus room, you have plenty of stuff in here to take a look at, clothes...
0:08:15 > 0:08:20Is this a little bridesmaid's dress? Is this one of your creations, Christine?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Well, it's something I'm altering at the moment for a little girl.
0:08:23 > 0:08:30You used to be a designer of wedding dresses and evening dresses, how did you get into that?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34By chance, actually. I went there as a quality controller.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36This was in a dress manufacturer?
0:08:36 > 0:08:41Sample machinist, then the designer walked out and I said, "Don't worry, I'll help you,"
0:08:41 > 0:08:44then I started designing.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I had no idea what I was doing but it was a success.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Jo, you've picked up your mother's creativity, because you design jewellery?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Yeah, I make jewellery, this is a piece of it
0:08:54 > 0:09:00and they will be simple like this, or I will do an intricate beaded necklace.
0:09:00 > 0:09:06After all that hard work for both of you, I think you deserve a real good break.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11What sort of thing do you think you are going to enjoy when you go on this break?
0:09:11 > 0:09:15I want a massage, really, the whole back and shoulders,
0:09:15 > 0:09:21because you know the way you sit, you end up stooping over, so I'd like to be loosened up.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26Well, we'll have to do a bit more rummaging to find something that will make that £500,
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- so I'm going to leave you to the box and see what else I can find. - All right, darling.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35Christine and Jo are very independent, hard-working women.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40I want to make their dreams come true, so we'd better keep our search up to scratch.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42We soon turn up these gold pendants,
0:09:42 > 0:09:48including a gold half sovereign, estimated to fetch £75-£90.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53The rummage also produces another beautiful piece of glass.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57This delicate scent bottle, with a cut-glass top and silver neck, is valued at £30-£50.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02In the living room, Jonty is pulling out all the stops with his next discovery.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07This is great. Look at this decanter and stopper.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- It's lovely, isn't it? Is it Art Deco? - Yes. The style, these lines.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Straight lines, Art Deco.
0:10:13 > 0:10:20When it comes to decanters, when it comes to glass you have got to check for condition,
0:10:20 > 0:10:24because often the stoppers have been lost, or they've been chipped or damaged.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29- This looks absolutely fine, so check the body...- Oh-oh!
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Whoops. We have a chip down at the bottom.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34That's quite a large chip.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39So instantly, we've cut this decanter and stopper by half.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43The market would go crazy for this if it was in mint condition,
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- but because we have the chip, the damage, we are only talking £30-£40 here.- Really?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Simply because of that break.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Put it in the sale?- Go on, then.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- Yeah.- If that's only £30, we have some more work to do.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Come on.
0:11:00 > 0:11:06What a shame this decanter has been damaged, because the market for Art Deco is very healthy at the moment.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10We have quite a collection of interesting items on the roster so far,
0:11:10 > 0:11:14but if we're going to get anywhere near that £500, we need quite a few more.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16And it's not long before Christine digs up
0:11:16 > 0:11:19this intricately engraved silver spade.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23We hope it will reach £25-£30.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28We're almost out of time, but with the girls' day out at stake,
0:11:28 > 0:11:33we need at least one more valuable item. Let's hope Christine's next find is just the ticket.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Look what I've got. - What have you got there?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I think I saved the best for last.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- Saved the best till last. What do we have here?- What a lovely picture.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- What do you know about this picture? - Well,
0:11:46 > 0:11:50I thought it was Madonna and child, then I was told it is
0:11:50 > 0:11:53young John the Baptist but I am not sure which is which.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56This is the seated Madonna and child.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01This is literally one of the most famous pictures in the world.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03When I say most famous,
0:12:03 > 0:12:07it's probably one of the most reproduced pictures in the world. And the original...
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I know what's coming!
0:12:09 > 0:12:13The original is by Raphael, high Renaissance painter from Italy,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17so the important thing is to check whether it's original copy.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21When I say original copy, is it an oil painting?
0:12:21 > 0:12:24So let's look across the canvas, and what we're looking for
0:12:24 > 0:12:29is the layers of paint, the brush strokes. Can you see, it's relatively even,
0:12:29 > 0:12:34relatively smooth? Now that's an indicator that it's not an oil painting,
0:12:34 > 0:12:38so therefore this is a facsimile of a kind.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Sadly I can't put a lot on it. I suppose it'll be around the £50 mark.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47- £50?!- Yes. You've obviously got a huge disappointed look.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- Very. £50? You sure?- Yes, it's gonna be that kind of figure.
0:12:50 > 0:12:56- We could always put a reserve on it. - Yes, I think, yeah, definitely.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01You don't have to tell us what the reserve is now, we can sort that out at the time,
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- but you're happy for it to go to auction with a reserve? - With a reserve, yeah.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Jo? Do you want to join us?
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- Hi, guys.- Unfortunately, Jonty has bad news on the picture,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15because your mum was hoping she had a valuable oil painting,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17and it hasn't turned out that way.
0:13:17 > 0:13:23- Sadly, it's only worth about £50 at auction.- 50 quid?! - I know.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I thought we were both going to be retiring on that!
0:13:26 > 0:13:33I'm fraid at the moment if we take away the picture and the paperweight, it comes to £300.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- Right.- Very disappointed.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41If we add the paperweight at its lowest estimate, it's 350,
0:13:41 > 0:13:46and if we add the picture at its lowest, at £50, it's 400.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Right.- So we're still £100 short.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52So I think what we need to do is
0:13:52 > 0:13:57to look round the house, see whether or not between now and the auction
0:13:57 > 0:14:02- there is anything else we can take to auction, that will give you that extra £100.- OK.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06And we'll see you at auction.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07Poor Christine and Jo!
0:14:07 > 0:14:13I do hope our valuations haven't been too disappointing for them.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16But as we all know, anything can happen at auction!
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Among the items going under the hammer are the beautiful 1920s
0:14:20 > 0:14:23glass clarat jug with the silver-plated stopper.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27In pristine condition, this early 1970s frosted Lalique glass scent bottle,
0:14:27 > 0:14:32still in its gift box, estimated to fetch up to £60.
0:14:32 > 0:14:39The beautiful Swarovski crystal paperweight, made in 1972, which could bring in up to £70.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43And finally, a copy of the famous painting by Raphael, of the Seated Madonna,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47which Jonty estimates could fetch £50-£80,
0:14:47 > 0:14:51though I'm sure Christine would prefer more.
0:14:51 > 0:14:57Still to come - which of our items find favour with the bidders?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- You're going to get your £80.- £75...
0:15:00 > 0:15:02How much will Jonty's gamble cost him?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06If it makes £500, the meal's on me.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Find out, when the hammer falls.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Well, it's been a week or two since we joined Christine and Jo
0:15:17 > 0:15:22at her home in North London, looking for all those antiques and collectables
0:15:22 > 0:15:28that we could sell today her today at Gaze & Son auction rooms at Diss in Norfolk.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33Remember, she wants £500 so the two of them can go off and spend a relaxing day at a luxurious spa.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38But unfortunately on the rummage we didn't quite make the total,
0:15:38 > 0:15:43so let's hope we do get some really good bidding today, or the girls could end up taking an early bath.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48This auction house in Norfolk attracts antique enthusiasts from far afield,
0:15:48 > 0:15:53and today's collectables are certainly catching their eyes.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58Thank goodness Jonty is here to help us through what could be a nerve-wracking day.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- Jonty, morning.- Hi. - I have to admit I'm a bit anxious about our auction today.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07I'm glad you're the first one to say that because I am, too!
0:16:07 > 0:16:09The problem is that Christine thought some of her items
0:16:09 > 0:16:13were worth a lot more than you were prepared to value them at.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17And as a consqequence it was difficult to find the £500 that she needs.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Yes, because we've got some damage on them as well.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Damage, all sorts of things,
0:16:21 > 0:16:25and the Madonna and Child, I think she was convinced it was an oil painting.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Let's see what she has decided to do with her things.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Remember, when you're selling or buying at auction, you must budget for VAT
0:16:33 > 0:16:36and the commission that will be added.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Your local auction house will give you more information.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44I really hope the girls make enough to enjoy a day of blissful pampering,
0:16:44 > 0:16:49but with all these fabulous antiques on display, we'd better go over the Christine
0:16:49 > 0:16:52before she's tempted to buy something.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57- Morning, Christine!- Hi, Angela. - You haven't got Jo, your daughter, with you...- No, Jo has a cold,
0:16:57 > 0:17:03- so Anne, my sister-in-law, is standing in for Jo. - Have you been to an auction before?
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- No, it's the first time.- Oh, really? - What have you decided to do with all of your items?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10I've put a reserve on two of them.
0:17:10 > 0:17:17- Two? OK. What are they? - The Swarovski paperweight and the Madonna and Child.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- What have you put on them?- Five on the Madonna and three on the...- £5?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22£500, Jonty, come on.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26£500! My word!
0:17:26 > 0:17:32I think we're going to have a bit of drama today, girls, so shall we take our places in the auction?
0:17:32 > 0:17:33- Let's go.- Come on.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38It's looking likely that Christine may be taking two of her reserved items home,
0:17:38 > 0:17:42but auctions can be unpredictable, we'll have to wait and see.
0:17:42 > 0:17:48We take our positions and watch our first least controversial lot go under the hammer.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Lot 121, that comes back to the front.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56We have the late 20th century Lalique scent bottle with its box.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Look at that, nicely presented for you.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04- You happy to see it go, Christine? - Yes, definitely.- OK. Let's see what we get on this one.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08I start at £22. At 22, 25, 28, 30,
0:18:08 > 0:18:1232, 35, 38, 40, 42, 48, 50, 55...
0:18:12 > 0:18:1555 with me. 60 bid.
0:18:15 > 0:18:2065, 70, gallery, at 75 below.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24I'll take 80. At 75, make no mistake where we're at.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26She's up to 75!
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Hammer comes down on 75.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- £75, how about that?- Very good.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35If all our items keep coming in over estimate,
0:18:35 > 0:18:40it may just be that Christine has the last laugh today.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44But we need the rest of our items to fare just as well if we're to reach that target.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Let's hope our second lot will do us proud.
0:18:48 > 0:18:55Here we have a nice decanter with a geometric design and you have put £30-40 on it.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57It would have been worth a lot more without that chip,
0:18:57 > 0:19:01do you remember I pointed that out? It's still a charming thing.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06- Let's hope it's going to go for a bit more.- I start at £28.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Interest shown at 28. I'll take 30.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11At 28 now, the decanter at 28.
0:19:11 > 0:19:17Any advance? 30 on the phone. 32...
0:19:17 > 0:19:2335. 38... 40 is now the telephone. At 40 the telephone and I'm out.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28At 40 the telephone. I'll take two if it helps. At 40, are you all done?
0:19:28 > 0:19:33With that chip, uh! Without it, it would have been worth an awful lot more money.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38On the nose of Jonty's highest estimate.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41But will we be as lucky with the pretty Dutch silver spade?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44At £35 the room is quiet.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46At 35 and selling...
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- £35.- That's good. Very good.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- You pleased with that?- Yes. - Well done.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Great news. Not only is Christine delighted,
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I think we're all relieved.
0:19:56 > 0:20:02Today's buyers are warming up but how far will they be prepared to go for one of Christine's
0:20:02 > 0:20:05most favourite and cherished items?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- You have got great hopes of this, haven't you?- I have.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- So great, you put a great reserve on it too. A weighty reserve.- Yes.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- What is it again?- £300.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19It's a limited edition!
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- So if it doesn't make £300 you're taking it home?- Back home.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24And remember the good old days.
0:20:24 > 0:20:31- Let's see what it does. - £100, surely. Anybody want that one?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Nobody in at 100.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- You are taking it home.- Yes.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39You didn't want to part with that.
0:20:39 > 0:20:44Christine clearly loves this crystal, and I'm glad we won't be splitting them up.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Next up are these striking glass ornaments...
0:20:47 > 0:20:51At £38 on commission, any advance?
0:20:51 > 0:20:56..which fly out of the room for a very respectable £38.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00With half of our items already gone, things haven't gone too badly.
0:21:00 > 0:21:06However, with a no-sale on the crystal paperweight, the pressure is on our remaining lots.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11Next, Christine's pay-off from her three-day engagement...
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- You ready to sell this one?- Yes. - You're not going back on your word?
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- No.- No more reserves?- No more, no more polishing.- OK. Here it comes.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Interest on the sheets, and I start here at £28.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23£28, I have.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28- And 30, 32, 35, 38, 40, 42... - Going up quite rapidly.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31..45 and I'm out. 45 is now in the room. Where's the eight?
0:21:31 > 0:21:37Any advance on 45? 48, new bidder.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38And 50. 55, 60.
0:21:38 > 0:21:4360 on my right. Any advance on £60? To my right,
0:21:43 > 0:21:47I've lost you all ahead of me at £60...
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Jonty's top estimate!
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- Very good.- He's the man.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53We should put champagne in it.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58Another excellent result and Jonty's estimates are proving to be spot on,
0:21:58 > 0:22:02but will our good fortune continue with the two soapstone Buddhas?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06At 38 to my right and selling...
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- I'm pleased. Pleased?- Yes.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12At nearly twice the estimate, it's smiles all round.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17The paperweight aside, today has gone better than we all thought.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22However, it's time to unveil the Seated Madonna.
0:22:22 > 0:22:28Jonty, do we think we've got someone in the room that might pay £500 for this?
0:22:28 > 0:22:29- No.- In a word!
0:22:29 > 0:22:34Girls, if it makes £500, the meal's on me.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35- You're on.- All right?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37We'll remember that.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- We will.- Here she goes...
0:22:39 > 0:22:47I did have interest at £50, but we'll leave that. Start me at £300.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49£300 on the print, there.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51£100, I'll take if it helps.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54£100, she's gonna start.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58No? No bid? No interest?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- You're taking it home.- You see, I want to take it home.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Christine, she did have interest at £50.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Are you sure you didn't want to sell it at that?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Definitely. I want to take it home.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12It was always unlikely that the high reserve would appeal,
0:23:12 > 0:23:17but at least Christine and her beloved painting will stay together.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22There's still a chance, though, that we might strike gold with the next lot.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25At 95, any advance?
0:23:25 > 0:23:30- How about that?!- £95.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33What an amazing result. Mother and daughter are still in
0:23:33 > 0:23:35with a chance of making to it the beauty spa.
0:23:35 > 0:23:41Apart from the two items with reserves, our other items have sold as expected, so there's a lot
0:23:41 > 0:23:47riding on our last collectable - the silver-topped scent bottle, if we're to make the £500 target.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52I hope we get the sweet smell of success, Jonty and Christine, because we have that very pretty
0:23:52 > 0:23:58little perfume bottle that was in the shape of a barrel, wasn't it?
0:23:58 > 0:24:03- Time for it to be sold. Here it comes...- 30-50 is what we were looking for.- I like 80.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Interest on the sheet is shown and I start here at £28.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- 30, 32...- 28, she's started at.
0:24:10 > 0:24:1335. 38. 40. 42, 45. 48, 50. 55...
0:24:13 > 0:24:14She's up to 50 already.
0:24:14 > 0:24:2155 now. At £55 only on the barrel... Scent bottle there at 55.
0:24:21 > 0:24:2360. 65. 70. 75...
0:24:23 > 0:24:28- You are going to get your £80. - 75 on the scent bottle.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Are you all done at £75?
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- No. £75.- You're not disappointed with £75?- No.
0:24:36 > 0:24:42And Jonty said the top price might be 60. You did well on that one.
0:24:42 > 0:24:48It seems we saved the best till last, but has it made us enough to pay for a day of luxury pampering?
0:24:48 > 0:24:53So the hammer has come down for the final time, it's the moment of reckoning, Christine.
0:24:53 > 0:25:01- Right. Tell us. - You wanted £500 for the Madonna and Child, £300 for your paperweight...
0:25:01 > 0:25:06That would have given you another £800 on top of whatever it is you have already made.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10As it is, you started very well on the other things you sold.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15Those two perfume bottles went for £75 each, which is above what we thought we might get for them.
0:25:15 > 0:25:22You and Jo, and you might be able to take Anne along as well, you should have a nice time at the spa
0:25:22 > 0:25:26because what you've actually made is £456.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30That's very good. Thank you.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35- Very good.- So I think you should tell Jo what you've made.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Share it with Anne and have a wonderful time at the spa.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41We will. Thank you very much.
0:25:48 > 0:25:54One week on, and Mum and daughter waste no time in heading down to their local health and beauty spa.
0:25:54 > 0:26:01We're gonna go and have our lovely massage and with any luck, Jonty will be down for the final rub!
0:26:01 > 0:26:03You'll be lucky, girls!
0:26:03 > 0:26:06You've come to the right place for total indulgence.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23What better way to round off a perfect day than to take the waters - and the bubbles?!
0:26:29 > 0:26:34Well, what a relaxing day at the spa for Christine and Jo - after all that tension in the auction room.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37If there's something you'd like to raise money for
0:26:37 > 0:26:41and you think you have things in the house you'd like to sell at auction,
