0:00:06 > 0:00:10To the north of me is Cardigan and to the south is Carmarthen
0:00:10 > 0:00:13but where I am right now just happens to be Pembrokeshire.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Welcome to Flog It, from glorious west Wales!
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Rhosygilwen Mansion is not only a beautiful historic house,
0:00:47 > 0:00:51it's one of west Wales's most up-to-the-moment music and arts venues.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58So many people, which means so many antiques for our experts to look at.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03We've got our work cut out! We brought the queue in because it was raining earlier
0:01:03 > 0:01:06but that hasn't dampened anybody's spirits.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11This is the orangery, adjacent to the oak hall, our magnificent venue for today.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Hopefully, we're going to make a few people very happy.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17They could go home with a lot of money. Stay tuned to find out.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21It may even be Chris and Mervyn, first in the queue. When did you get here?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Around 8.00am.- In the pouring rain. - Yes.- Poor things.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29Let's get you in to the blue tablecloths and get the show on the road! I'll give you a hand.
0:01:33 > 0:01:39We have a selection of experts on hand to make sure everyone gets the valuations they need.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41The team is headed up by Charlie Ross...
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Do you want me out the way?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46..who can pop up in the most unexpected places!
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Sent packing!
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- But always comes up with the goods. - What have we here?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Everybody knows what this is!
0:01:55 > 0:02:00There isn't a person in the country who doesn't know who made that.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02So I'm not going to tell you!
0:02:03 > 0:02:07And auctioneer Christina Trevanion, who has a keen eye for jewellery.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10That's rather gorgeous as well, isn't it?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I love that!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- What do we think?- It's lovely!
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- And enjoys a little speculation! - Ooh, that's lovely.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- Wouldn't it be nice if that was diamonds!- Wouldn't it? Wouldn't it just?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Goodness me.
0:02:23 > 0:02:29Later in the show, Christina comes across some real diamonds that the owner has a good reason to sell.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- We've got a parrot that dismantles anything with stones in!- Really?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- He takes the stones out of everything.- You let him out and he pecks the gems?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Anything you're wearing, he takes the stones out!
0:02:40 > 0:02:41No! He's a diamond thief!
0:02:41 > 0:02:44And Charlie's guilty of an old auctioneer's trick.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48I think my valuation was a bit conservative, wasn't it?
0:02:48 > 0:02:53- Slap my wrist for this one!- It was "come and buy me", as we say! - It was.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Christina is first at the table with Corale, and a real dazzler!
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Corale, when I saw this in the queue, my eyes lit up.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07It must have done when you first saw it. Where's it from?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11I don't know a lot about it. I picked it up at a car boot sale!
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- A car boot sale?!- Yes, it was in amongst some junk jewellery.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Right.- It just seemed to stand out.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20So I picked it up from there.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25- You saw it sparkling and thought, "That looks nice!"- It's different.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- It looked a different class to the other stuff. - How much did you pay for it?
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- 75 pence.- You didn't!- I did, yeah.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37That is amazing! That is truly amazing. I'll tell you why.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41This little piece here is, to me, just fantastic.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43It's everything that the Art Deco period was.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47It's diamond set. Did you know it was diamond set?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- I did have it tested. - Wonderful.- In a jeweller's.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54They told me it was diamonds, but the valuer wasn't there.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- So I just left it at that.- OK.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59It has wonderful linear lines.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03It really evokes the 1920s, 1930s. What's more unusual
0:04:03 > 0:04:08is that it's actually a hair slide. It's not a brooch, which is what you'd expect it to be.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12A brooch, at this sort of period. To have a hair slide is so decadent.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15It reminds me of cocktails at The Ritz in the 1920s.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19"Just going for cocktails, darling, with my diamond pin in my hair"!
0:04:19 > 0:04:25So when we look at it, we've got the diamonds here in a flaming-torch style.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29We've got eight-cut diamonds and baguette-cut diamonds,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32which again evokes the Art Deco period.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35It's probably set in platinum with an 18-carat gold back
0:04:35 > 0:04:36although it's not marked.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39I'd like to think this sort of style is French.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43But sadly again not marked, we can't tell.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I think this sort of style and period, it's probably a French piece.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50OK? The diamond weight isn't huge.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54But because it's so stylish, it doesn't really matter.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56It's just a really nice-looking piece.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Corale, is it the type of thing you'd wear?
0:04:59 > 0:05:06Not really, because I've got a parrot at home that takes the stones out of everything that sparkles,
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- even slightly.- A parrot with taste?
0:05:09 > 0:05:14Yes, very good taste, but unfortunately destroys every piece of jewellery.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17So you cannot wear it because of your naughty parrot?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- I couldn't wear it. There'd be nothing left of it!- Oh, dear! Well,
0:05:21 > 0:05:26if we're going to sell it at auction, valuation-wise, if you want to sell it at auction,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29we're looking in the region of 200 to £300.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Which is a fantastic profit on your 75p, isn't it?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Big percentage profit, I have to say.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- It's a good morning's work, isn't it?- Yes.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- So shall we flog it?- Yes, flog it! - Brilliant!
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Let's save it from Corale's parrot and get it off to auction!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Hello. Ooh, well-behaved!
0:05:49 > 0:05:51The one at the back's well-behaved!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53The one at the front...
0:05:53 > 0:05:58The one at the front is thinking, "Mummy, get the valuation done!"
0:06:01 > 0:06:04The earlier rain has now cleared up
0:06:04 > 0:06:09so I'm popping outside to enjoy the sun with Terry who has a couple of very rare items.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Two fine African carvings depicting figures from the slave trade.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Look at what's going on here. Look at this lady.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Child on her back, legs shackled together.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Still being made to work with a pestle and mortar, grinding corn.
0:06:24 > 0:06:31Sad, isn't it? What could be a family member trusted with a gun to go out hunting.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Again, he can't run away, he can't do anything. His foot is clamped.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38All this is done from one solid piece of wood.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43There's nothing added to it, nothing applied afterwards.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47So this is cut from the wood in the round, typical of an African hardwood.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Very, very dense grain.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- You can tell how hard and heavy that wood is.- It's quite heavy.
0:06:52 > 0:06:59It's such a difficult thing to have in your house, Terry. Why did you buy these? What's the attraction?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03I thought they were unusual. I've seen plenty of African carvings.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- But nothing like with the slave trade.- No. How long ago was that?
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- A couple of years ago now.- How much did you pay for the two?
0:07:11 > 0:07:17- Around 350.- There's a big market for this kind of thing in America. There really is.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22The museums are buying up all this slave memorabilia and it's fetching good money.
0:07:22 > 0:07:29I do know that Michelle Obama, the president's wife, collects slavery artefacts like this
0:07:29 > 0:07:34- because she's the ambassador of a museum that wants subject matter like this.- Yes.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Let's talk about value. You paid 350 for the pair.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Can we put these into auction with a valuation of 350 to £450?
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- Can we keep the estimate that low so it doesn't frighten anybody off? - Fine.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49We'll put a reserve on at £350 so you don't lose any money.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Are you happy with that? - Yeah, fine.- Good.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53OK. Done.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58Terry's carvings will do well if the right people see them on the internet.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Now, something more local. Helen has a lovely Welsh medal to show Charlie.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10- Helen, have you won this medal? - No, I haven't.- No?- No,
0:08:10 > 0:08:14this is a medal I bought in a second-hand shop about five years ago.
0:08:14 > 0:08:20- Why did you buy it?- I bought it because of my interest in Welsh mountain ponies.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24For the past 20 years it's been my interest to breed and show them.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- Right.- That's really why I bought it.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- It strikes me as being of fantastic quality.- I think it is.
0:08:31 > 0:08:39- Wonderful quality. It's got a huge weight of silver, it is silver, dating from 1911.- Yes.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- And you've won a few of these? - I have won a few, yes.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47- Have you? You can't just engrave that with something?- No!- It would be fraudulent!- Yes, indeed.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52- Is that why you're selling it? - It is. Since I've had it, I've never displayed it.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- No.- Because it's one my ponies didn't win,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- I'm quite happy to sell it, really. - Yes.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- Yeah. Well, you knew it was silver, presumably?- I thought it was silver,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06but I didn't know how old it was until today.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11You're absolutely right it is silver because it has the traditional hallmark.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14It has a lion passant, which tells us it's silver.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18It has a little anchor, which tells us it was made in Birmingham,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21and it's got a date mark there for 1911.
0:09:21 > 0:09:27- And here it's got the makers. Mappin & Webb mean anything to you?- No.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32Mappin & Webb, very, very famous silversmiths in Birmingham.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- Probably most famous for making cutlery.- Right.- They make a lot of cutlery,
0:09:36 > 0:09:42silver and silver-plated cutlery. Mappin & Webb were everywhere in the early 20th century.
0:09:42 > 0:09:49I'm not surprised that the Welsh Pony and Cob Society used Mappin & Webb to make them
0:09:49 > 0:09:54- because they made the best quality. The quality of the horseshoe is fabulous.- It's lovely.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Tell me, how often do you have a show?
0:09:57 > 0:10:02In this part of the world, this part of Wales, there's lots of shows.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05In the summer you could have two or three shows a week.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Really? Gosh!
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- How many do you have?- I've got eight ponies at the moment.- Eight?!
0:10:11 > 0:10:14So you need a few acres to keep them.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18What about the value of this if you don't want it? What did you pay?
0:10:18 > 0:10:23- I paid £30 for it.- How long ago? - About five years. - I think you did pretty well.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- It's probably worth about £50. - All right.- How does that fit? - That sounds fine.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Yeah. I would hope it would make that.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35- I would say if we put an estimate of 40 to £60 on it.- Yes, that's fine.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- All right with you?- Fine. - We'll put a reserve at 40.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43- Thank you very much for giving me an education.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48Fingers crossed for Helen. With her love of horses, she's a woman after my own heart.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Before we head off to the auction, let's take another look at our lots.
0:10:53 > 0:11:00They say diamonds are a girl's best friend. Let's hope that's true for Corale, with her Art Deco hairpin.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Terry's slavery figures will appeal to a niche market.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07But they could make a good price.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Mappin & Webb is a top name, so Helen's Welsh Pony and Cob Society medal
0:11:13 > 0:11:16has quality as well as local interest.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I like to see a jam-packed auction room.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Today we're guests of Peter Francis Auctioneers and Valuers in Carmarthen.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42This is where we put our experts' valuations to the test.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46So don't go away because hopefully someone will go home with a lot of money
0:11:46 > 0:11:50and let's hope these people put their hands up and bid on our lots.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Nigel Hodgson is our auctioneer for today. First up,
0:11:54 > 0:11:57it's Helen's silver medal. Let's see how it does.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02We're holding the reins tightly because it's just about to go under the hammer, the medal.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03The Welsh Pony and Cob Society.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07What are we looking at? Originally it was 40 to £60.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11I know you've since changed the valuation. You've done some research
0:12:11 > 0:12:17and the auctioneer says it's now 80 to 120, with a fixed reserve of £70, Charlie.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- It's a cracking thing. Lots of local interest.- It's fabulous quality.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27I think my valuation was a bit conservative. Slap my wrist for this one!
0:12:27 > 0:12:30It was a "come buy me", as we normally say.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Let's see what the bidders think.
0:12:33 > 0:12:40The interesting Welsh silver Pony and Cob Society medallion.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Made by Mappin & Webb, 1911.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Some interest in this.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Quite a collectable item.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Lots of interest!
0:12:52 > 0:12:56I have a number of commission bids which allow me to start the bidding
0:12:56 > 0:13:00at 70, 80, 90, £100.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03That's what I have on the book. Three bidders. At £100.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06At £100. On the book at £100. May I say 110 now?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10At £100. £100 is on the book.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11At £100.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- Selling on the book at 100. All happy?- £100. The hammer's going down.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- Bang in the middle of your valuation. Well done. - Thank you very much.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Twice my valuation!
0:13:21 > 0:13:26Yours would have had a nice surprise. Building up. What a lovely end.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- That's good news!- Thank you very much.- Happy?- Yes, thank you.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- I bet all the money's going on pony feed!- Yes, it is!
0:13:33 > 0:13:38It sold for less than £150, so Helen will pay 17.5% commission
0:13:38 > 0:13:40plus VAT.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Next up, it's Terry with his carved figures.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49Revised valuation which we discussed with the auctioneer at the preview day.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52It's now 450 to £550 is the valuation.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Fixed reserve at 450.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed, that's all I can say!
0:14:00 > 0:14:04These are a pair of carved African ebony figures.
0:14:04 > 0:14:10Very unusually, they feature figures who are, in fact, slaves.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Surely must be of some academic interest, these, I'd have thought.
0:14:14 > 0:14:21- Yeah, precisely.- Very much rarer than the usual carved figures we see regularly in sales.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24What do I say for those? What are they worth to you?
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Interesting pair of figures. £500 for them?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30500?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Surely on the pair of figures there?
0:14:32 > 0:14:36300. 300. 320, may I say? At 300.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38300. 320, may I say?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40300 on the carved figures.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42300 only. May I say 320 now?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46At 300. No more interest at £300 only.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49320, may I say? All quiet. 300.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Any more?
0:14:50 > 0:14:51No?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Can't be sold, I'm afraid.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56They didn't go. They didn't go.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00The interest was bubbling just over 300. Just shy of the 350 I'd said.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03But you put it up to 450.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I think that killed it off, really.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09They're going home now. Another auction room, another day?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Another auction, probably.- OK.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- Good luck with that.- Thanks.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18Sometimes it's wise not to frighten the bidders off with too high an estimate.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Next, a good Flog It story.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Corale is selling her diamond pin bought for 75 pence!
0:15:24 > 0:15:30These are stories I like. This is what Flog It's all about. Corale was car-booting amongst all that junk.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33And came up with something for 75p
0:15:33 > 0:15:38which hopefully Christina is going to turn into 200 to £300.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- That's what we like about antiques and collectables!- Absolutely.
0:15:41 > 0:15:47- It would be nice.- You've got a keen eye. Did you know what you'd found? - I knew it wasn't junk.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Very nice thing. Like a torch, is it?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54It's very Art Deco, my favourite piece from the valuation day.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- It's fantastic.- Because it's so stunning and everybody likes it,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00why are you selling it?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- I can't wear anything that sparkles. - You'd look fabulous!
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- I've got a parrot that dismantles anything with stones in. - That sparkles?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- Takes the stones out of everything. - He flies round pecking gems?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Anything you're wearing, he takes the stones.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16No! He's a diamond thief!
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Good luck, anyway. This is unique. Let's see what they think.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Let's find out what it's worth. Here we go.
0:16:26 > 0:16:32The white metal diamond set hair clip.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Brilliant and baguette-cut diamonds.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38What's it worth? £200 away for that to put me in?
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- 200 for the pretty brooch. - Come on. Come on.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44150 to go, then. There it is.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53£340.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- Yes!- Marvellous!- 340 quid! Well done, you two!
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- That's fantastic!- That's good!
0:17:59 > 0:18:00All for 75p!
0:18:00 > 0:18:05- It's still out there. Just get out early and hunt for it!- Absolutely!
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- I was so nervous. It started off so slowly!- Yeah.- Fantastic. Well done.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14There is commission to pay. It's a sliding scale here. It'll be a 15% commission.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- Yeah.- What will you put that towards?
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- More car booting?- Probably, yes! - I don't blame you!
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Fabulous. That's what we like to see.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48I'm on my way to meet a local artist, and as you may know by now, I'm a real art enthusiast.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53So it's always a great treat for me to meet painters in person and visit them in their studios.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58But in this case, it's a double treat
0:18:58 > 0:19:02because her studio is in the heart of this beautiful Welsh countryside.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Look at that, it doesn't get any better for a source of inspiration.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10I'm particularly intrigued about the artist I'm going to see, Eloise Govier,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13because in my opinion, she's immensely talented.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Her work is intelligent, sophisticated and very powerful.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Yet she's still only in her mid-20s.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- I love your studio space.- Thank you. - I'm jealous! What a location! How long have you been here?
0:19:38 > 0:19:45I grew up here. We moved when I was about five. Over the years, I've been away, but always come home.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48A great inspiration for you in your work.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53That's where I started, painting the landscape, because it's so beautiful.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58- What age did you start painting? - Professionally, only the last two to three years.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- As recent as that?- Yes, but I've always painted, right from this high, a little girl.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07I was always encouraged to express myself through painting and drawing.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11How would you describe your work? It's very bold.
0:20:11 > 0:20:17I describe myself as an expressionist painter. There's lots of emotional content in the work.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22Lots of texture, bright colours. So a new expressionist is where I'd put myself.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27- You've studied the history of art, as well.- Yes.- So you know exactly what's going on.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31I know exactly what I respond to and which direction I wanted to go.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Thanks to the art history background.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Any names that you aspire to, or that you've taken influences from?
0:20:38 > 0:20:44I've always admired Alexey von Jawlensky, a Russian painter.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46He's used some very interesting colours.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51There's a particular painting I like that he's done called Portrait of Alexander Sakharoff.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01- Bright colours.- Bright colours.- So it's a combination of those colours
0:21:01 > 0:21:06- against this wonderful Welsh landscape that's given you what you've got.- Exactly.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I always paint from instinct.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Although I'm aware of what's out there,
0:21:24 > 0:21:28I want it to come from the right place.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- From the gut and the heart. - From the heart, yeah!
0:21:30 > 0:21:32But with thought behind it.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Absolutely. There's a lot of emotional content in the work.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41But I try not to labour too much over it. Then it starts becoming a bit fake.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46The way you apply the paint with the palette knife, everything is really textured.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50It's exceptionally bold and thick. That takes a long, long time to dry.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53It takes forever.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56The paint is so thick, I have a storage space upstairs
0:21:56 > 0:22:00where we leave the paintings. I have to paint a year in advance.
0:22:00 > 0:22:06- That's your biggest nightmare.- The drying process. Absolutely. It's different in summer than winter.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11- You're having exhibitions. You've just had one in Scotland. - St Andrew's.- A five-star event.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15- Yes, it's still there, going really well.- How are you being received?
0:22:15 > 0:22:19The new work is different from my landscapes. It's all figurative.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21So it's extreme.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26It's very dynamic, very colourful. A lot of people find the colours inspiring.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- So people are responding well. - It's a kaleidoscope of colour.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32A sweety shop!
0:22:32 > 0:22:37When I was growing up, I did lots of dancing. So I'm into trying to capture movement on canvas.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54So these are some of the models. Twisting forms, like yoga.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Yeah, but that's nice interesting shapes.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01It's a kinetic form of energy you're trying to capture within the pose itself.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Twisting forms, knotted bodies.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- Let's talk about how you put a picture together.- OK.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- I'll keep a sketch book, a bit like a diary.- All artists have these! - Exactly.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21This was a trip in France.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23So we've got the hills and trees.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Then we've also got some bar scenes.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Cafe society.- Cafe scenes.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Things like that.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35I'll then come home, analyse what I've been doing in the sketches,
0:23:35 > 0:23:39then I'll approach the canvas with something like this.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44- I paint it a fluorescent colour to start.- Why do you do that?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Some artists will start with a brown or an ochre.
0:23:47 > 0:23:53That's fine if you're doing landscapes because there's nothing worse than having bits of white.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58But I wanted a fluorescent colour because of the contrast and because it's a phenomenal colour.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03- The first bit of pink you put on the canvas...- It makes you alert! It's like "Doi-ing!"
0:24:03 > 0:24:08Yeah! The first bit of pink you put on is going to be a massive contrast.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19- Show me some of your palette knife technique.- OK.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24- I have tried this before! I'm absolutely rubbish at it! - A nice blue.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29I love using palette knives because you can get interesting thick textures.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Well, I find that pretty impressive,
0:24:56 > 0:25:00to meet somebody as young as Eloise who's so focused and committed to her art.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02It's a real inspiration to all of us.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06That's not the last time we'll hear that name. Eloise Govier. Watch out for it!
0:25:13 > 0:25:17At Rhosygilwen Mansion, the team are in the thick of it!
0:25:26 > 0:25:32Christina is enjoying Pam's collection of miniature figures and pin-head dolls.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37- Tell me about them. Where are they from?- They belonged to a friend's mother.
0:25:37 > 0:25:44- Right.- Who does a lot of knitting and peg dolls and sewing and things.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49- Right.- After she passed away, he didn't know what to do with them so he gave them to me.
0:25:49 > 0:25:55So that would tie in, because we're only seeing half the article here.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Because these were made to have skirts on them, like this.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04So it's possible she could have collected them with the intention of one day
0:26:04 > 0:26:07making skirts for them. That's what they were,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10pin-head dollies. So they'd have had a pin cushion on the bottom
0:26:10 > 0:26:16so you could keep your pins, maybe some brooches, to pin into the skirt.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18You have quite an array here.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- Do you know when she collected them? - No, I don't.
0:26:21 > 0:26:27They date to probably the 1930s, 1940s, something like that.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Some slightly earlier.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34The most collectable ones are the Art Deco flapper ladies.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37We've got one of those here.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40That's fantastic that we've got one there.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45The whole idea was that you should collect different styles of ladies.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49We've got some Georgian ladies with their flamboyant hair
0:26:49 > 0:26:52and flamboyant and ostentatious hats.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Then we've got right to the simple little Dutch girl here.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59So they did a huge range.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04If we look at this one, we can see the construction of it.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08It was made in a mould. You can see it was hollow.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11And we can see it's stamped Germany on there.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14So they're German porcelain.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18So I think, if we were to sell them at auction,
0:27:18 > 0:27:21we are looking at putting them as one lot.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Individually, they haven't got huge value.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28I think as a nice little collection,
0:27:28 > 0:27:34we're probably looking somewhere in the region of maybe about £50. 50 to £70, something like that.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- How does that sound?- That's nice. Sounds good, yeah.
0:27:37 > 0:27:43OK. I know you're going to put the money towards something special,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45as a reminder of the gentleman that gave you them.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Unfortunately, Brian passed away a couple of months ago
0:27:49 > 0:27:56and he wanted some money to go to the local hospital that looked after him.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57So I'll put the money to that.
0:27:57 > 0:28:02That's really generous. I hope they make a lot more because that's a wonderful cause.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04What a nice idea of Pam's.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09I like what I see at the bottom of the bag. Look at that!
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- Look at that. It's a gentleman's ink stand.- Yes.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- Made of horn.- It was given to me when I passed my O levels.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22- That's an unusual present to have when you pass your O levels! - I hate it!
0:28:22 > 0:28:26- Who gave that to you? Dad? - No, an aunt.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28An aunt. And what have you done with it?
0:28:28 > 0:28:33Nothing, really. Half-heartedly polished it, as you can see!
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Isn't that bizarre! What a lovely present to have!
0:28:38 > 0:28:42I enjoy looking at what people bring in. You never know what you'll find!
0:28:42 > 0:28:46As you'll see, Charlie's found something unusual.
0:28:46 > 0:28:51Richard, you can explain to me exactly what this is, although I think I know.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54A pretty straightforward vertical standing boiler.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- Or steam engine.- Or steam engine.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01- It isn't a home-made object?- I don't think so.- It's beautifully made.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- I believe it's made by Bing. German. - A German manufacturer, right.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Bing, Marklin, all the great names. Have you had it working?
0:29:09 > 0:29:14It worked up until about eight years ago. I haven't started it up recently.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- But then it worked quite well, yeah. - Yeah.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20It's pretty simple. There's not much to go wrong, actually.
0:29:20 > 0:29:25- It's complete.- You fill it up with water. There's a water gauge on the front.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Yes. The burner, to me, doesn't look original.
0:29:28 > 0:29:34No. My grandfather was a tool maker for a helicopter company.
0:29:34 > 0:29:40- Yes.- And he made this from a tin that was used for polishing brass.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- Yep. Shortened it. Cut the bottom off.- Put a wick in it.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46- Yes.- And did that.- It's ideal.
0:29:46 > 0:29:51And he also made the safety valve because there wasn't a safety valve.
0:29:51 > 0:29:57- Really?- So this part here, which unscrews...- Yes.- If I unscrew it.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00As I said, he was a tool maker.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03But that's fantastically well-made.
0:30:03 > 0:30:08He popped out into his workshop in his garage, where he had a lathe and all sorts of tools.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12In half an hour or so, he came back and he'd made that.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17- Filled it with water...- I could not tell that that wasn't original.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- No.- To the steam engine. - He was a very clever man.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22You could run all sorts of things with that.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- You could run a grinder, a polisher...- Yes.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Fill it with water. Once the steam gets up,
0:30:29 > 0:30:32you've got a little whistle on the side here, which you could use.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36- May I just look at the bottom of it? - Sure.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Yes, there's the date. 1916.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43That's quite interesting that there was still time,
0:30:43 > 0:30:46materials and inclination
0:30:46 > 0:30:50to make something like this while the world was at war.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55- Fighting each other.- It's quite a statement, isn't it?- It is. - Are you bored with it now?
0:30:55 > 0:31:00- No, not really, it's just that my sons...- I don't want you to change your mind! No, no!
0:31:00 > 0:31:06My sons are growing up. I've got a grandchild due in a week.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- Ooh. Good luck with that!- Thank you.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12So they're not interested in it.
0:31:12 > 0:31:17Really, the only part that interests me is that little bit there.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21- Which isn't original.- Isn't original.- It's interesting.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25- What about the value of this? I was thinking it would be worth £100.- Yes.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29100 to £150. That's where I'd like to see the sale room estimate.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- Yes.- Are you happy with that? - I'm happy with that.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33Yes.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37I love that sort of thing. A real boy's toy!
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Christina has come across a real treasure trove.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49So, Serena, all that glitters, in this case, is actually gold!
0:31:49 > 0:31:54- Yes!- Fantastic. You've brought some wonderful things in to show us.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58Let's start over here. Tell me about this bracelet here.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00That one was my grandmother's.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04She gave me that when I was 21.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07I'd always admired it as a child.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09I wore it to death.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Jewellery was made to be worn, so you should wear it. Wonderful.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16It's an absolute firecracker of a pendant.
0:32:16 > 0:32:22We've got amethysts, we've got garnets, we've got turquoise, coral, all sorts of nice things.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23A nice smoky quartz there.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28So it really is the firework of the jewellery world. It's magic.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31It's got a mark on the clasp which says 750.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34So we know it's 18-carat gold.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37That's interesting, cos I thought it was nine.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Somebody said it was nine carat.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Well, they were fobbing you off, because it's definitely 18.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45We know it's a quality piece because when we close it,
0:32:45 > 0:32:49close the clasp, see how it just disappears into the link.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54You can see it's absolutely wonderful. It melts into that link. Fantastic.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57When did you say you had it? What date would it be?
0:32:57 > 0:33:03- Well, that would be the '70s.- '70s. - That was my question. How old is it?
0:33:03 > 0:33:08I think it's slightly older. I think probably more '60s, by the style of the chain.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12Probably late '60s. Maybe even slightly earlier.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Talk me through this ring, here.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16That is Italian.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20That was actually made in Florence, in a gold factory in Florence.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22- So did you choose it?- Yes, I did. - You did.
0:33:22 > 0:33:28Because we've got the wonderful combination here of this yellow gold loop
0:33:28 > 0:33:30intertwined with this white gold hoop here.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Typically Italian. Very stylish.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37It's 18-carat gold. We've got 18-carat white and 18-carat yellow.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41Which is fantastic. It just oozes style. It's wonderful.
0:33:41 > 0:33:47OK, now, we've got these two items here. Tell me about these.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51This one, according to my grandmother, this was her mother's.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55Right. OK. That would make sense. Do you know what it was used for?
0:33:55 > 0:33:59I'm not sure whether it was to do with you had things hanging off it.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02I can't imagine hanging anything off there.
0:34:02 > 0:34:07Well, actually, it would have been originally what we call a muff or a guard chain.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10As a Victorian lady, you had your muff to keep your hands warm.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14It would go through the muff and round your neck. It looks so delicate, doesn't it?
0:34:14 > 0:34:16A nice decorative link there.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19And the pearl-set necklace? What about that?
0:34:19 > 0:34:24That was given to me also for my 21st by a great friend of my mother's.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28OK. I like the way this is designed as tiny little harebells
0:34:28 > 0:34:30with pearls issuing from the flower heads.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34Again, it's gold. It's nine-carat gold.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37So going over to this little lot. Talk me through these.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40We girls in the '60s used to be given charm bracelets.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- Right.- So that was from my uncle.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48Once again, the best friend of my mother's gave me the knickers!
0:34:48 > 0:34:53Why would your mother's best friend be giving you a pair of knickers?
0:34:53 > 0:34:57- She had a wicked sense of humour. - Wonderful! Let's move on to value.
0:34:59 > 0:35:06Starting over here, your bracelet, we're looking in the region of 400 to £600 for the bracelet.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- Is that because it's 18 carat?- Yes.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15The ring, I think we're looking somewhere in the region of 200 to £300.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17OK?
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Then we've got this little lot here.
0:35:19 > 0:35:24At auction we're going to be looking in the region of 250 to £300.
0:35:24 > 0:35:30Then I would put this little lot together, on the end, as a group lot here.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34Again, I think we're looking 500 to £700 there.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- Whoa!- OK? So I think your bottom estimate
0:35:37 > 0:35:40is about 1,300 to £1,400.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- All right?- I'm amazed!
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Pardon me while I faint!
0:35:47 > 0:35:50So we've got quite a lot of money's-worth of gold here.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- We've got rather a lot!- We have!
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- I'm amazed! Thank you! - You're welcome!
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Oh, gosh! I'm overcome!
0:35:59 > 0:36:01That lot is going to keep our auctioneer busy!
0:36:01 > 0:36:05But before we get to the sale room, let's have another quick look
0:36:05 > 0:36:06at what we're taking with us.
0:36:06 > 0:36:12First, Pam's interesting and varied collection of pin-head dolls and figurines,
0:36:12 > 0:36:1424 in total.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20Next, we'll hope for a build-up of steam on the day for Richard's German engine.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26And finally, Serena has brought us a cornucopia of gold.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42Pam is up now with her little dolls.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- How are you feeling?- Very nervous!
0:36:44 > 0:36:46It's a packed sale room. Quite exciting.
0:36:46 > 0:36:52Things have been flying out. Hopefully it's our Flog It owners' turn for things to fly out.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- You're selling and giving the money to charity.- I am.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58It's going to Cardigan Memorial Hospital.
0:36:58 > 0:37:03OK. We've got a valuation of 50 to £70 and a fixed reserve at 40.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07Absolutely. It gives the auctioneer a bit of discretion if he needs it.
0:37:07 > 0:37:12But hopefully, there are so many things there it'll make it and better.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Let's leave it up to the bidders here in Carmarthen. Here we go.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21You've viewed them, I'm sure. The little mixed bag. What are they worth?
0:37:21 > 0:37:24What do you say? Interest with me. £80 away for those?
0:37:25 > 0:37:2780? 50 to get on, then.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- Come on!- 30. 40.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50What a surprise!
0:37:50 > 0:37:55He was calling for 80. They went down to 30. Back up to 50. Like a yo-yo!
0:37:55 > 0:37:58All the money is going to the hospital. Wonderful cause.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59Thank you, Pam.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Well, that one really kept us on our toes!
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Now for that little steam engine.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09I've been joined by Richard in the nick of time in this packed room.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12And our expert, Charlie. Something for the boys.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16It's a vertical steam engine which is lots of fun.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- Let's see what it does.- Yes. - Full steam ahead!
0:38:19 > 0:38:23Early 20th-century brass and cast metal model

0:38:44 > 0:38:47At £140.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- Good price. Good price. Well done. - Good.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- Thank you both.- That's OK. - Thanks, Charlie.- Thank you.
0:38:53 > 0:38:59That looks like it's gone to a new home where it will be really appreciated.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03Serena has brought in a whole jewellery box-worth of gold items.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Serena, you've hit the market at the right time.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Did you know gold is at an all-time high?
0:39:10 > 0:39:12I knew it was doing well.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16- But I'm not thinking how well.- You thought you'd cash in on this?
0:39:16 > 0:39:19No, I didn't. It was a flier.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Did you go round the house thinking, "That's gold!"
0:39:22 > 0:39:25We've got a lot here. Four lots. All valued separately.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29- I thought, "Let's see if it's worth anything."- First lot
0:39:29 > 0:39:33is the bracelet. 400 to 600? Let's find out what the bidders think.
