0:00:01 > 0:00:04Welcome to Cash In The Attic, the programme that searches
0:00:04 > 0:00:08out treasures around your home and then sells them for you at auction.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11And today I'm in Surrey, and I thought while I was here
0:00:11 > 0:00:14I would pay a flying visit to the magnificent Nonsuch Mansion.
0:00:14 > 0:00:19This elegant Elizabethan-style mansion forms the focal point of Nonsuch Park.
0:00:19 > 0:00:25It was inspired by Henry VIII's Nonsuch Palace, a lavish hunting lodge destroyed back in 1682.
0:00:25 > 0:00:31This ancient engraving built into the north porch serves as a reminder of the site's distinguished history.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36This glorious place is absolutely crammed with history, but just ten minutes away,
0:00:36 > 0:00:42I'm hoping to uncover a few more important treasures, to sell under the hammer at auction.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Coming up on today's show, we meet two Cash In The Attic fans
0:01:05 > 0:01:09who just can't wait to show off their prized possessions.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11That is my favourite.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14I think she's so beautiful.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17And while Jonty's suitably impressed...
0:01:17 > 0:01:21I believe the quality of craftsmanship here is as good as I've ever seen.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24..Our arrival isn't all good news.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29This vase, I have to tell you, is no older than my pair of shoes I'm standing in.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34Well, let's hope all is forgiven when the final hammer falls.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37I've come to New Malden in Surrey to meet a couple who've called in
0:01:37 > 0:01:40the Cash In The Attic team to help them raise money
0:01:40 > 0:01:42for a great family day out.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47This three-bedroom detached house in New Malden in Surrey is home to
0:01:47 > 0:01:50enthusiastic gardener Malcolm Parry and his wife, Patricia.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54After ten years together, they finally tied the knot two years ago,
0:01:54 > 0:01:59much to the delight of Malcolm's two children, and Patricia's daughter, son in law and three grandchildren.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04Another auction-goer, Patricia's love of antiques has rubbed off on Malcolm,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07and they are forever looking for a bargain.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08- Jonty, how are you?- How are you?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11We've got a great household, because lots of interest in here.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16- They like antiques and the lady of the house loves her garden. - Well, it looks good.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21- She's got three grandchildren and she wants to take them for a really wonderful, fun day out.- Fantastic.
0:02:21 > 0:02:28- Actually, there's a baby in this family, and this baby is called Jonty, after you.- No!
0:02:28 > 0:02:30It's going to be an interesting day!
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Let's go and meet the family.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- So, Patricia and Malcolm, how are you?- Hello, Gloria.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- So nice to see you.- Good to see you. - I'm so looking forward to seeing all your beautiful things.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Now, I hear down the line that you two are Cash In The Attic fanatics.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Absolutely fanatics.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- We watch it every time we can. - Is that the truth?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51It's terribly true, yes.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54And what made you, in the end, get in touch with us and call the team in?
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Because we liked it so much, we thought we'd like to have a go of it. We thought we'd like to be on it.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01So how much money would you like to raise, ideally?
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- About £500. - And how would you spend that?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08I would like to take my grandchildren out for a treat.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13Outside, I was teasing Jonty about the baby in your family called Jonty, after him.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- Shall we go and find him?- Yeah!
0:03:15 > 0:03:17OK, let's go.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22'A quick glance around this family home reveals a whole host of potential finds.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25'Let's hope all their collecting pays off.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29'Time to start rummaging, and one man who's never found sitting down on the job
0:03:29 > 0:03:31'is antiques expert, Jonty Hearnden.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36'He's already hard at work in the garage, where he's spotted a rather impressive-looking chair.'
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Hello! What are you doing in my garage?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Have you been thrown out of the house already?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Never underestimate a good garage, that's what I say.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Right. Pretty chair.- Lovely chair. Lovely chair. Where's this from?
0:03:47 > 0:03:52- Well, we bought it in Jersey, about 20 years ago.- Yes?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- And we had it recovered.- Have you?
0:03:54 > 0:03:59Yeah. When we originally bought this, it was green, like a pea-green.
0:03:59 > 0:04:05Well, date-wise, it's about 100 years old, and you can tell that by, if you look at the top rail here,
0:04:05 > 0:04:10this stylised fan design, and this stylised acanthus leaf, that's late-Victorian.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14So this chair is a late-Victorian walnut-framed chair.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18The most important thing when you're considering buying a chair like this
0:04:18 > 0:04:20is to make sure that the frame itself is sound,
0:04:20 > 0:04:24because it's quite an expense to have it re-glued properly.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26So, Jonty, how much?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Value at auction, we're looking sort of £50-80.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Do you remember how much you paid for it?
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- I paid about 75 for it.- That just shows you where the market is.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I've priced that, hopefully, that we can sell it.
0:04:37 > 0:04:43- You've been banished to the garage. Do you think you'll let him back in? - Yeah, I think so.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Please, can I come in?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48'Not a bad start, but we need plenty more where that came from
0:04:48 > 0:04:51'if we're to reach Malcolm and Patricia's £500 target.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56'The search is on, and no room will escape a thorough going-over.
0:04:56 > 0:05:02'Downstairs, Malcolm hopes Jonty can shed some light on two ornate lamps bought at a local antiques fair.'
0:05:02 > 0:05:07- What have you got there, Malcolm? - Ah, Jonty. I've got a pair of these lamps.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09So how long ago did you buy them?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- About two years ago. - And what were you told about them?
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- I was told that they were French. - Mm-hm.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18And the reason I bought them, because they're very stylish.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I agree. There's an elegance about them.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22As a pair they would look really quite dramatic.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24But they're not particularly old.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Where did they come from?
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Me and my wife went up to an antique fair, up in Tolworth.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32What were they originally priced at?
0:05:32 > 0:05:37The original asking price was £400 but I managed to knock them down to £200.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42- Well, that's a pity, because I just don't think I can get your money back.- Oh! Right.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46If they were original, then these would be bronze, often gilded bronze.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Now, here, the scene here, this crackle glaze ground here
0:05:50 > 0:05:53is another thing that tells me quite clearly that these are
0:05:53 > 0:05:59reproductions, because this scene is neither oriental, nor is it European in style.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01There's a bit of a mish-mash going on there.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06But, rather stylishly, you've got these cherubs, these winged cherubs at the top here.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09And there's an elegance to them, I have to agree.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11But they fall between two stools.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15These have no age at all to them, so they have to be priced accordingly.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18And I can't get your £200 back at all.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21They're more like £50 to £80, £50 to £100, possibly.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Would you have still hoped to sell them at that price?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Yes, we would like to put them in.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30OK. I want to find something that's got real antique worth.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Shall we go this way? - Yes, let's have a look.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36They're not 100% kosher,
0:06:36 > 0:06:42so after hearing that, I'm very happy that they are worth something.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Jonty's estimate may be less than what they originally paid, but £50
0:06:47 > 0:06:52would buy a whole lot of ice cream, so into the kids' fund it goes.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Maybe this pair of large reproduction candlesticks
0:06:55 > 0:06:58will take our bidders' fancy, with a price tag of £20 to £40.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Or, indeed, this statuesque oil lamp,
0:07:00 > 0:07:05which Jonty values at a sizeable £40 to £60.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08And with Jonty on a roll, I escape to the garden with
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Malcolm and Patricia to find out more about their love of antiques.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15It is wonderful to be able to sit in your beautiful garden.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18What you've managed to pack into a relatively small garden is amazing.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20So, which one of you's the real gardener?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I cut the grass. Malcolm does the planting.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Now, the other thing I've noticed around your house is that you,
0:07:26 > 0:07:32Patricia, are very knowledgeable about antiques, and about auctions.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Where does that love come from?
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- Well, my granddad. He used to be a totter.- What's that?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- A rag and bone man.- Oh, yes!
0:07:39 > 0:07:42He used to go around and collect all second hand stuff, and then he
0:07:42 > 0:07:46eventually opened a shop in Barbary Road, in Notting Hill Gate.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Can you do the call of a rag and bone man?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Rag and bone! Or something like that.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55Not as good as what he could. Yeah, I think that's where it came from.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I used to love rummaging round that shop.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Now, how important is family life to both of you?
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- Very important.- I've got three grandchildren, two girls and a boy.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07My grandkids love him. Especially Alfie.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12We always care and look after our families the best we can.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Hence today. Hence the programme. - Hence today, yeah.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19I've really enjoyed sitting in your beautiful garden, but you know what?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- I've got to put you back to work. Shall we go back indoors?- Yes.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24- OK.- Let's go back.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29'With just over a third of our target accounted for, we need to find some real gems
0:08:29 > 0:08:33'if Malcolm and Patricia are going to treat their grandchildren to a grand day out.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36'Jonty values this nine-branch chandelier
0:08:36 > 0:08:37'at £20 to £40.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40'With its electrical fittings in working order,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43'this will hopefully set a bidder truly alight, come the sale day.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48'But it looks like Patricia's prized lily vase has also caught his eye.'
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Wow.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- What is this?- That is my favourite. I think she's so beautiful.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59The gentleman who put this up to auction lives in Eastbourne,
0:08:59 > 0:09:04and he was having his garden renovated, and he dug it up.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- No!- And he was digging. Yeah!
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- And he said that's where he dug it up from.- He saw you coming.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12He did. I reckon he did.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Can I tell you what we're looking at here?- Yes.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Stylistically, this vase is art nouveau.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22And if you look at it, we've got this very floral work going on here,
0:09:22 > 0:09:28so we've got these lily leaves, and at the top here, we've got this lily head.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30And then hugging the whole thing is this maiden.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34And all of those were used prolifically
0:09:34 > 0:09:36in the art nouveau period.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38This vase, I have to tell you,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41is no older than my pair of shoes I'm standing in.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42Oh, no!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45The reason why I'm sure you were attracted to the vase
0:09:45 > 0:09:48is that it's such a beautiful shape.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52And for obvious reasons, therefore, they have reproduced the style.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- So how much did you pay for it? - £300.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Ow!
0:09:57 > 0:10:01I can't see this selling for more than £50, or there or thereabouts.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- That is shocking!- Yeah.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Oh, my... You're gonna need smelling salts after this.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07So is it going, then?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- Yes, please.- Got to go.- Got to go.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14You'll weep on the day, but it'll be interesting to see. Are you going to carry this out?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- I'll take this out.- OK.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Very disappointed about that,
0:10:18 > 0:10:24because I really, truly believed that it would be what I paid for it.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Well, the vase may be a thing of beauty,
0:10:26 > 0:10:31but it's another reproduction, worth a very disappointing £50.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32With time a-ticking,
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Malcolm hopes this striking pendulum wall clock will do well,
0:10:35 > 0:10:39at Jonty's estimation of £40 to £80.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43And Patricia's clearly charmed by these two porcelain figurines.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Fingers crossed they'll have the same effect on our bidders.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Jonty, have a look at these. - What have you got?- Two...
0:10:49 > 0:10:51This lady here, the ballerina...
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- OK?- Yes, she's Royal Dux, or Dukes?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55It's Royal Dux, yes.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58And this lady here, same.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Yes. Are these recent acquisitions?
0:11:00 > 0:11:05These were bought about 15 years ago.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08OK. Let's take this one first of all.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Can I do a quick swap, so you hold the ballerina?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- OK.- But this is the dancer with the snake.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17She has a feeling of being 1920s, one of those exotic dancers, doesn't she?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21But this model is still sold today.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23During the '50s, they got rid of a lot of their moulds,
0:11:23 > 0:11:28but what has happened in recent times is that they have started to use some of their older moulds.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32So whether this was an old mould or not, I'm not quite sure.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37But if you have a look on the underside here, it says Czech Republic.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40So this is beyond the early 1990s.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45- Yes?- So you can tell that she's rather contemporary, even though she has that antique feel.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50- Yes.- All right? The ballerina is much more of the style, isn't she?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- Yes.- You have this sense of being Royal Dux, which is
0:11:53 > 0:11:56this lovely, ceramic gracefulness to Royal Dux.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Yes, they are beautiful, yes.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Do you remember roughly what you were paying for them?
0:12:00 > 0:12:01£40 a pair.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05I'm hoping that we might be able to get £100, £150, possibly, for you.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- That's wonderful news.- So we can definitely put these into the sale?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Yes, please.- Good. Let's put them back in for safe keeping.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Where to next?- Follow me.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20We're pulling out all the stops here in New Malden in Surrey,
0:12:20 > 0:12:24and are edging ever closer to our £500 target.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Determined to raise the bar, Patricia decides to sell
0:12:27 > 0:12:30her collection of six framed Spy cartoons.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34These satirical prints originally appeared in Vanity Fair magazine,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36between 1868 and 1914,
0:12:36 > 0:12:40and should raise a much-needed £50 to £80.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44But with the day nearly done, Jonty has one last find up his sleeve.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Ah, you found my bronzes!
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Yes. Now, these are a lovely pair. Where do they come from?
0:12:49 > 0:12:53They're from a little second hand shop in Hampton.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- They were £50 a pair. - And what do you know about them?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Well, I looked up on the internet,
0:12:59 > 0:13:04and I found out that Marcel Debut was the sculptor.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07My, you have been doing your homework!
0:13:07 > 0:13:09These are very high quality indeed.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13In fact, one of his recent works sold for about £5,000 at auction,
0:13:13 > 0:13:14and that's very recently.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18But these are copies of his work.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21And when I say copies, they're recently done.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- Oh.- I'll show you for why.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27If you turn a bronze upside down and have a look at the underside,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29here it's really quite clean.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32It really looks quite new, in fact.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35A period bronze would have a lot of oxidisation there,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38lots of different colours, apart from anything else.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43- Oh, no!- OK, so they're not £4,000 or £5,000 worth of bronzes, all right?
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- Right.- But you've done your homework, because the signature
0:13:47 > 0:13:50is here on the side, and the quality is very, very good.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51In fact, they're so good,
0:13:51 > 0:13:55I thought they were original until I turned them upside down.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- So what do you think they're worth, then?- I heard that question!
0:13:58 > 0:14:01And we would like to know as well, how much they're worth.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Well, they're really good quality.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06In fact, these are as good reproductions as I've ever seen.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Are you very hopeful?
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Keeping my fingers crossed.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Well, I'm going to keep you in suspense a bit longer,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15because there's one thing I want to ask Jonty,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17before we actually hear what these are worth,
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- because you know I teased him at the beginning?- I do.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22About the baby, named after Jonty?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25This is a photograph. Handsome boy.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Doesn't look a bit like me.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I don't know!
0:14:29 > 0:14:31OK, that's enough of the tease.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Obviously, you want to know how much these figurines are worth, and so do we.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35So what is the amount?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I reckon, because they're such good copies,
0:14:38 > 0:14:42I think they should be worth between £400 and £600!
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- What, for the pair? - For the pair.- My God!
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I'm sure you're dying to know the actual total,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50and just to recap, you wanted at least £500.
0:14:50 > 0:14:56So you'll be thrilled to know that you have at least £820.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59My God! That is absolutely fantastic.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Isn't that amazing?
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- That is brilliant.- Thank you very much indeed.- Thank you.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07We agree...a fantastic result.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Let's hope those bids come rolling in come auction day,
0:15:10 > 0:15:14so that Malcolm and Patricia can spoil rotten their nearest and dearest.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15Going under the hammer,
0:15:15 > 0:15:20a pair of ornate reproduction table lamps, valued at £50 to £80.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Two all-singing, all-dancing Royal Dux porcelain figurines,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26with an estimate of £100 to £150.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30a pair of reproduction Marcel Debut bronzes,
0:15:30 > 0:15:34bought for £50 and valued at a staggering £400 to £600.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Then Patricia's prized lily vase
0:15:36 > 0:15:38with a disappointing £50 price tag.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Will one of our bidders fall head over heels for it?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44For £20...
0:15:44 > 0:15:45Still to come on Cash In The Attic,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48our couple have high hopes for their items.
0:15:48 > 0:15:505, 80, 5...
0:15:50 > 0:15:52But they're in for some nasty surprises.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- Oh, no!- No!
0:15:54 > 0:15:59Will they reach their target? Find out when the final hammer falls.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08So, it's been a few weeks now since we talked to Malcolm and Patricia at their home in Surrey,
0:16:08 > 0:16:13and we've brought all their collectibles here to the Chiswick Auction Rooms in west London.
0:16:13 > 0:16:19Just to remind you, they want to raise £500 so that the entire family can have a wonderful day out.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22A lot of people are waiting to see the results of this auction.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26So let's hope there are some big bidders in today, when their items go under the hammer.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Happily, the saleroom is already bursting with potential bidders,
0:16:32 > 0:16:37and with so many wonderful items to choose from, let's hope they're ready to spend, spend, spend!
0:16:37 > 0:16:42Our expert, Jonty, has already sought out Patricia and Malcolm's mahogany-framed chair,
0:16:42 > 0:16:44but there's no rest for the wicked.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Wakey-wakey!
0:16:48 > 0:16:51You're not sleeping on the job? Honestly, you're shocking!
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- Me? It's very comfy.- It is an early start, though, isn't it?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57It's always an early start for me.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00The family are hoping to raise lots of money today for that big day out.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02So there's a lot riding on this.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Yes, interestingly, I've valued a lot of items under the £100 mark,
0:17:06 > 0:17:09so it matters that they sell, but it's more onus on the bronzes.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11If they sell, then we're laughing.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- So you're depending on the bronzes, basically.- Big time.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17I think that Patricia and Malcolm are here, so shall we go and say hello?
0:17:19 > 0:17:23'With all eyes on their lots, Patricia and Malcolm can't wait to get started.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27'But it looks like Patricia might be in two minds about her prized lily vase.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29'Is she really ready to part with it?'
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Patricia and Malcolm, how nice to see you again.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33- Hi, guys.- Hi!
0:17:33 > 0:17:37I think, maybe judging by your look, you're having second thoughts about this item?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I was having second thoughts about it, yes.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I don't mind taking it home.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46So that little part of you is hoping that maybe it'll not sell.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50It's still there with her, because she is absolutely beautiful.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- How do you think it'll do today? - It will sell well, because it's a nice, big decorative object.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Now, is there anything, particularly, that you're happy to see sold?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Chandelier, please go!
0:18:00 > 0:18:05You're begging, begging, begging! Well, I can see the auctioneer going over to the podiums.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Shall we get into position? Do you want to follow us?- OK.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Remember, if you're planning on buying or selling goods at auction,
0:18:14 > 0:18:18be aware that you'll have to pay commission and possible other charges,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20so always check first with your local auction house.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Time to take our places with the first lot of the day,
0:18:24 > 0:18:25the two Royal Dux figurines.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Now, Patricia paid £50 for this charming pair,
0:18:28 > 0:18:33but will they reach Jonty's estimate of £100 to £150?
0:18:33 > 0:18:38Lot number 78, now, the Royal Dux figure of a ballerina and another one of a snake charmer.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40There we are, Royal Dux, lot number 78.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Starting me, we'll put it to £100.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45£50? Only £25?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48It's £50, up to £55, £50, £55 now?
0:18:48 > 0:18:52That's a bid there at £50. £55, thank you. 60, 5, 70, 5, 80, 5?
0:18:52 > 0:18:5480, £80, 80.
0:18:54 > 0:18:5685, new bidder.
0:18:56 > 0:19:0190? 85, 90? 90 there, 90. 95? 100?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- 100!- No. £95. That's money at £95.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06We'll put it at £95. Are we done? Last chance. Done.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Fantastic!- I know!
0:19:10 > 0:19:13It's a great start, and just shy of Jonty's estimate.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Let's hope our next lot charms its way into one of our bidders' sitting rooms.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21It's the Victorian carver chair, which Jonty valued at £50 to £80.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Good start, this chair. Start at £50 for it.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28£50 for it, £40 for it.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Thank you, bidder, £40.
0:19:31 > 0:19:3340, two. Two at £40.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Two next to it. 45, 48, 50, 52?
0:19:37 > 0:19:4052, 55.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Is that it? 55? £52, are we done?
0:19:45 > 0:19:46- Done for £52.- £52.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- £52 is very good indeed.- Very good.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Well, done. - You've done well.- Good, good.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56So that's another £52 towards our target.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Next up under the hammer is the statuesque oil lamp
0:19:59 > 0:20:01with a £40 to £60 estimate.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Let's hope it burns a hole in somebody's pocket.
0:20:04 > 0:20:0950, 5, 60, 5, 70. 75? Gone?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- 70, back in.- 70!- You got it £70.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Well, that was unexpected, and £10 over Jonty's higher estimate.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Let's hope Patricia's lily vase fares as well.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23She's obviously besotted with it, but Jonty isn't as enamoured,
0:20:23 > 0:20:25and values it at a mere £50 to £60.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Will any of our bidders fall for it?
0:20:27 > 0:20:32- A vase...- Are you ready? OK. - The vase, what's it worth?
0:20:32 > 0:20:33£50 for it? £30 for it?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- 30, 30 bid.- £20.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- Oh, no.- £20?
0:20:37 > 0:20:38- Oh, no! No!- It's worth more.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Am I bid £20 for it? Thank you, a bid at £20.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45£20, 22? 20? Another bid? No?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47£20, 235.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Oh, dear. It's a disappointing £20,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53and having forked out £300 for this beauty,
0:20:53 > 0:20:58does Patricia wish she'd held on to it?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01It was one of the things I would have liked to have taken home again.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03But never mind... it's gone to a nice home, I hope.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Having already made a loss, with these reproduction table lamps,
0:21:07 > 0:21:11I hope for Patricia and Malcolm's sake they reach at least Jonty's £50 to £80 estimate.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14£50, they're sold at £50.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19Oh, relief. Some good news. And a further £50 towards our target.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Let's hope our bidders still have some cash to burn,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25as up next is Patricia and Malcolm's crystal chandelier,
0:21:25 > 0:21:26valued at £20 to £40.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31- Patricia, I think this is happiness with you, because you want this chandelier out, don't you?- Go!
0:21:31 > 0:21:33£20 for it?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Bid at 20. 22. 22, 25? 28, 30...
0:21:36 > 0:21:4032, 35, 38, 40...
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- My God!- 42, 45...
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Someone's seen something in it!
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- 55...- 55?- Selling it at £50.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Thank you. 55? £50.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Selling it at £50. £50, are we done?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Last chance. £50, thank you.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54What did you think?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Thank you!- Excuse me while I laugh!
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I was very pleased to see the chandelier go,
0:22:01 > 0:22:05because I hated it and I would have paid someone to take it away!
0:22:05 > 0:22:10Well, it just goes to show... one man's trash really is another man's treasure.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13And at £50, that's £10 over Jonty's higher estimate.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18It looks like the odds are stacked in our favour today,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21and with over £300 in the kids' day out kitty so far,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24our £500 target is within our sights.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29But with just four items to go, a lot rides on these two reproduction Marcel Debut bronzes.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31This is the really, really big one.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35'He's looking for them to reach £400 to £600.'
0:22:35 > 0:22:37And here they come.
0:22:37 > 0:22:43I'm starting you, £300. £300 starting bid, £300, £300? Start me, somebody, £300.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47No-one's offering £300. I'm going to pass it on.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- Not too many takers. - £300.- Oh, no!
0:22:52 > 0:22:56So how do you feel?
0:22:56 > 0:22:57That was a big disappointment, that.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00But people just don't know, sometimes, like me.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02No class today, I'm afraid!
0:23:02 > 0:23:07'Malcolm and Patricia may be putting on a brave face, but that's a big knock-back,
0:23:07 > 0:23:11'and one they won't recover from if their next three lots don't pick up the pace.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16So with £20 to £40 on the cards, these two reproduction candlesticks
0:23:16 > 0:23:18need to set one of our bidders alight.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23That's a bid of £10. Give me 12. At £10. The only bid at £10.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Another £10 towards that fabulous day out for all the family!
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Hm, not bad,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30but it's £10 short of Jonty's estimate,
0:23:30 > 0:23:33and we need every single penny at this stage in the day.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Patricia may be in high spirits, but will she have the last laugh?
0:23:37 > 0:23:41With time nearly upon us, this grand pendulum wall clock,
0:23:41 > 0:23:45priced at £40 to £80, needs to set our bidders' hands in motion.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46£40 for it?
0:23:46 > 0:23:53- Somebody give me £40 or I'll pass it on. £40, 42, 45, 48, 50...- 50!
0:23:53 > 0:23:5560, 65. 60, it's been taken.
0:23:55 > 0:23:5865 back in. 70, 5?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00You out at £70? £70, last chance.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02All done at £70, then.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04£70, that is good.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06And what did you pay for that?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- Next to nothing. - Yeah, next to nothing. About £30.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10Double your money.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15That's more like it...a timely £70.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17But is it too little, too late?
0:24:17 > 0:24:21With one more item up for grabs, all eyes are on our bidders.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Will our final lot,
0:24:23 > 0:24:28the six satirical Spy prints, priced at £50 to £80, come up trumps?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Now, I spy with my little eye, six spy prints.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36£50. £50. For the six. £50, £40.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41£40, 42, 48, 50, 5, 60.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Thank you. 5, 70.
0:24:44 > 0:24:4970, 75, 80, 85, at £80...
0:24:49 > 0:24:50One more, one more!
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Going at £80... For £80 all done.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56For £80, all out. All done at £80.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57- £80!- That's really good.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01That's better than really good... that's fantastic,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04and bang on Jonty's higher estimate.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06But will it be enough to give the children a treat?
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- So, have you enjoyed your day out? - Absolutely.- It's been lovely.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15Well, just to recap on the whole thing, you wanted in and around £500 to have a wonderful family day out.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Well, your result is...
0:25:17 > 0:25:20£497!
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- 497.- I can't believe that!
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Because you thought it was going to be, what?
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- I thought it was going to be about 250.- I know! That is so good!
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- You're going to have a great time. - Thank you.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Fantastic, and well done, Patricia.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38I hope you all have a great day out.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- We will.- I tell you what, it's a lot of spending money!
0:25:40 > 0:25:42The kids'll spend that!
0:25:48 > 0:25:52The auction went really well. We were really pleased with the result.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55We're going to take the kids go-karting.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Because they did well in their SATs this year...
0:25:58 > 0:26:02they got straight As and we were so pleased with them...we wanted to give them a good day out.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05The family are all raring to go,
0:26:05 > 0:26:09and can't wait to get into their gear and hit the track.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12With helmets on and seatbelts fastened, they're off.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14And it's pedal to the metal all the way.
0:26:14 > 0:26:20This family may be close, but out on the track it's every man, woman and child for themselves.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22With engines revving and tyres screeching,
0:26:22 > 0:26:26it's watch out, Lewis Hamilton, the Dean-Parrys are on the move!
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- It was brilliant. - It was really, really fun.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29- Did you enjoy it?- Yeah.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31We all had a really fantastic time.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Well, it looks like Patricia and all the family have had
0:26:39 > 0:26:42just the most wonderful day out, all having a great time.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Now, if you've got some collectibles hidden around your home,
