0:00:04 > 0:00:07Today's programme comes from Windermere in the Lake District.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Welcome to Flog It!
0:00:49 > 0:00:52This is England's most dramatic landscape, with soaring mountains,
0:00:52 > 0:00:58including all five English peaks, over 900 metres high.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02They sweep so majestically down to the waters of 16 lakes.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07Lake Windermere is by far the largest, at 10½ miles long.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Today, we are the guests of Lake School.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Our experts, Adam Partridge and James Lewis, are standing by
0:01:20 > 0:01:25to get into all those bags and boxes, in search of interesting objects.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28But first, let's get this show on the road.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Adam is first to the table today.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- Hi, Dorothy. - Hello.- Welcome to Flog It!
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Why have you come today?
0:01:43 > 0:01:48It was a nice day, and I wasn't doing anything else, so I thought I would come and see you here.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50That's very nice.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53And you've brought along a vase.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- Yes.- Tell us about the vase. What do you know of it?
0:01:57 > 0:02:02All I know is the name on the bottom, which is Ruskin.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Yes, it's a good name.- I think so.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07A good name in the art world.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- Something to do with the glaze. - They did different types of glazes.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16The most valuable are the high-fired, lustre glazes, of which this isn't one.
0:02:16 > 0:02:22But it is still a good name. The Ruskin Pottery started at the end of the 19th century, 1898.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25It was closed in 1935, when the founder died.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30This one dates from the early 20th century, I guess 1910 to 1920.
0:02:30 > 0:02:36It's quite easy to tell because we have the mark, Ruskin, England.
0:02:36 > 0:02:42In 1920 onwards, it says, "Made In England". So we know it was pre-1920.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Where did you get it from? - A car boot.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Recently?- No, about five years ago.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51It was a very good buy.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Was it? May I ask?- £2.- £2.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00That wasn't bad. Why did you buy it? Because you liked it or because you recognised the name?
0:03:00 > 0:03:07I didn't recognise it. I thought it was another piece of pottery, Cranston ware.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12I know the Cranston stuff, it looks a little bit like the Charlotte Rhead stuff,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- with tube lining on it. - Yes, that's right.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19I have some in brown, and I knew they did it in blue, and I thought that was a piece of that.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23People watching are either going to love or they're going to hate it.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26There is no middle ground with something like this.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I like the art pottery of the early 20th century. I think it is a nice piece.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- Very heavy.- Yes, it is heavy.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- What do you think it will make at auction?- Who knows!- Have a guess.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41More than £2.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I think 60 to 100.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- Is that all right?- Yes, 100 reserve.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- No, 60 reserve.- OK.
0:03:50 > 0:03:57- Is that OK?- Yes.- 60 reserve. 60 to 100 estimate, and let's hope it makes a bit more than £100.- OK.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- Thank you for bringing it in. - Thank you.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Anthea, when I spotted him in the queue, I picked you out for two reasons.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16The first one is the obvious one, which is this.
0:04:16 > 0:04:22The most fantastic Art Nouveau-style three-piece silver tea service.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25We see lots of these on the show.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Something that makes this slightly more unusual
0:04:28 > 0:04:33is you don't often see a three-piece silver tea service in a box.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Almost always, as soon as they come in these presentation cases,
0:04:36 > 0:04:40they get put in the sideboard and the box is chucked out. So this is lovely to see it.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44The style of this is just wonderful.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47If you take the sugar basin, for example,
0:04:47 > 0:04:51the shape is very Art Nouveau in style.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56This is known as planishing. It is made to look as if it is hand-made.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59These are little dents that are left in there on purpose.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02A silversmith can quite easily smooth those out.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07So this is Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts, harking back to earlier craftsmanship.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09The emphasis is on handmade.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14And these wonderful split handles,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17terminating in a flower head at the end.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Again, a lot of influence there from nature.
0:05:20 > 0:05:27We look at the date. We are expecting something 1900, 1910, classic Art Nouveau period.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32- But here, we have 1928.- It would be my grandmother's wedding.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35She was obviously a lover of Art Nouveau,
0:05:35 > 0:05:40because this was made in the height of the Art Deco period.
0:05:40 > 0:05:46That makes it interesting, because you would expect no influence of nature, no planished designs
0:05:46 > 0:05:52on the silver, angular handles, very stylised, very modern-looking.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56So... That's the most interesting part, really,
0:05:56 > 0:06:00the fact that something was made totally out of style for its period.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02But it's a lovely shape.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06It is. I love the legs and the handles.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Why do you want to sell it?
0:06:08 > 0:06:13For most of my life, it's sat in cupboards in my mum's sideboard,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15and it's now in my sideboard.
0:06:15 > 0:06:21Just occasionally, as a child, I bullied my mum into using it once or twice.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- But a silver teapot is a nightmare to clean! - They're not practical, are they?- No.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- Do you use normal tea or teabags? - Teabags nowadays.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30- Tea cups and saucers or mugs?- Mugs.
0:06:30 > 0:06:36Me too. And that really is where we get a little bit of a problem when it comes to the value.
0:06:36 > 0:06:44- Nobody uses them.- In the 1920s and '30s, everybody had a silver tea service, anybody with money.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49And ladies didn't work, they would stay at home and there would be afternoon tea.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51You'd invite guests and that was the lifestyle of that period.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Today, mugs, tea bags, kettle, straight in and off.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Nobody wants to polish it, nobody wants to use it,
0:07:00 > 0:07:04so we are wrestling, really, with an unfashionable object
0:07:04 > 0:07:06but a wonderful style.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11Then again, a downer on it is the initials, so that counts against it.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Then it's got its box, and that's in its favour!
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Where do we pitch this? It's not easy.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Do you have any idea of what you think it's worth?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I would have thought 150 to 200.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Maybe 150 is a bit low.
0:07:26 > 0:07:33Let's put 200 to 300 on it, and a reserve of £180.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36That sounds fine.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Let's take it and see how we do.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Brilliant.
0:07:43 > 0:07:49Jason, considering it was built, the main components, in about 1850,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52it's in full working order.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57- Whose is this spinning wheel? - It's my mother's.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02She did some domestic help in Grange, a little village not far from here.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06She has been left it in a will and she just asked me to bring it here to find out what it's worth.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10The spinning wheels were used all over the British Isles.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13It's hard to tell if this was for spinning cotton or flax.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17I don't know if it's Irish or Scottish or one from the West Country,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20but they were used around Cumbria a lot too.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- It will be nice know if there was local history to it.- You never know.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28It's not entirely what it seems, OK?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32It's built of fruit wood, it's cherry wood.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36It has some lovely turned bobbins. I love the wheel and the offset cam.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40All this is hand-wrought by a blacksmith. But there are a few alterations.
0:08:40 > 0:08:46That foot pedal has been put on roundabout the 1920s,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49because this works on a treadle motion.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51You've got a handle here which starts it off.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53You start the offset Cam off,
0:08:53 > 0:08:57it starts to move and you carry on with the foot.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00That's pedal power. You just keep it going.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02That would have taken all the abuse.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05What I would like to see on that is the wear,
0:09:05 > 0:09:10the undulations where the sole of the foot has just crunched down, over the years,
0:09:10 > 0:09:13making this lovely smooth curve.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Dipping here.- There would be a dip.
0:09:15 > 0:09:21A foot impression, lots of wear and no sharp edges. That is 1920s oak.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Something else that has been added at a later date is this.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26This is a winding-on reel.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31Once this would be full, you could then offload it onto this.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34This would then be taken out,
0:09:34 > 0:09:38stored away and brought back at a later date to wind back on.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43You can see this is pine, and this has been stained to look like the cherry wood.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- It's not an original winder? - It's not an original one, but it has been used.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51This is the beauty of it. We're not looking at a bit of sculpture. It is not a bit of folk art.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54It is actually an industrial machine.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58If I can point out some of the little turnings here.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03All of them have a lovely finial at the top, which is a sign of quality.
0:10:03 > 0:10:09Moving down, you've got flattened ball turnings. Underneath that is a cotton reel turning.
0:10:09 > 0:10:15Can you see that? And then it goes into a classical vase turning. It's wonderful.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19The whole thing does come apart. It's all kit form.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21And it feels so nice and tactile.
0:10:21 > 0:10:27I think somebody would really appreciate that, put that in the corner of the room and look at it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30And what we're selling is a bit of sculpture, folk art.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Nice in a farmhouse or something. - It looks the part.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36If this was in its original, unique state,
0:10:36 > 0:10:39£600 to £800.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Because it is very collectable.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45It should go in a bygone museum. But because it's been altered,
0:10:45 > 0:10:49there are a few components which aren't right, it's devalued it completely.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52It now becomes a decorator's piece.
0:10:52 > 0:10:58But I think, in auction, if we can get £150 to £200, that's a good result.
0:10:58 > 0:11:04I'd like to put it into auction with a valuation of 120 to 180 on it.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- I'm sure my mother will be happy with that.- Thank you, Jason.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Linda, this piece of pottery. What do you know about it?
0:11:18 > 0:11:23I think it is Wemyss, from Scotland.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27And it was my grandmother's, in London.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31That's interesting, because it was actually retailed in London, by TE Goode.
0:11:31 > 0:11:36Fantastic retailers of very fine quality pottery and porcelain.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41You're in good company having a piece of Weymss, because probably the most famous collector of all
0:11:41 > 0:11:43was the Queen Mother.
0:11:43 > 0:11:49- The most famous thing that they produce were these great big pottery pigs. Have you seen those?- No.
0:11:49 > 0:11:55There are about this big, and they're painted with shamrocks and roses.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59They came in different models, but Wemyss can go for an awful lot of money.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- The big pottery pigs make £3,000 or £4,000.- Oh!
0:12:02 > 0:12:07If you've got a rare set, if you have the piglets lying on their side, they can make £15,000.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I have no pigs!
0:12:10 > 0:12:13No pigs, no piglets. But we've got a honey pot.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14That's not bad.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Again, all hand-painted. Wonderful rustic scenes.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20If we take this, look at that.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25- Isn't that wonderful?- It's lovely. - Very primitive, but it has a charm about it.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27That is what people look for.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29But this one is sadly damaged.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31We've got a chip here out of the side.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36It is crazed and discoloured. We have a chip to the finial.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- That is because it has been used. - You used it, really?
0:12:39 > 0:12:47- I use it.- Use it for honey? - Yes, in the B&B. I've got a B&B, and I think it's a bit too good.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48But people love it.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- I bet they do.- They slice away at it.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55That's wonderful. It is a great thing.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00- Whenever people are looking at late 19th, 20th century ceramics, condition is everything.- Yes.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05None of it's serious and it's all restorable.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08We need to work out an estimate to put on it.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12I think if we put... Well, what do you think?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I don't know.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- 80?- I think that's mean. - Oh, do you?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- You should make a bit more than that. Let's put 150.- Oh!
0:13:22 > 0:13:27150, 200, somewhere around there, and I think it will still do well.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30You don't want to give it away. Let's take it to the sale and see how we do.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Fine, OK, thank you.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41What a fantastic batch of antiques we have found so far.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44It's time to put those valuations to the test.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Time for our first visit to the auction room.
0:13:46 > 0:13:52Here's a quick run-down of all the items that are going to go under the hammer.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Dorothy's vase. Although it's not of the highest quality,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59nevertheless it's a great example of Ruskin.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03James was intrigued by this Art Nouveau-style silver tea service,
0:14:03 > 0:14:05which dates from the Deco period.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10I thought Jason's mum's 19th-century spinning wheel was a real winner,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13despite some more recent renovations.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18And finally, Linda's Wemyss honey pot has seen some use and better days!
0:14:18 > 0:14:21But its essential charm speaks for itself.
0:14:23 > 0:14:30Today, we are at Penrith Farmers' and Kidds' Auctioneers, and the man at the podium is Alan Atkinson.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36He'll be seeing whether our experts' valuations measure up.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Now, talking of measuring up, look at these slide rules.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43I bet you can't guess what these are used for.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45That is a pretty odd shape.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48It extends and contracts this way,
0:14:48 > 0:14:52and is calibrated on the face side there, if you can see.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57That measures - if you haven't guessed by now - the width of a barrel.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00This one,
0:15:00 > 0:15:01the longer yardstick...
0:15:01 > 0:15:04That moves this way. It's calibrated on both face sides
0:15:04 > 0:15:08and that will measure the length of a barrel.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10They were used by the authorities to make sure
0:15:10 > 0:15:14there was as much beer in the barrel as the brewery said there was.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16So, nobody ended up with short measures.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Coming up first is that very bright blue vase.
0:15:26 > 0:15:33The Ruskin vase. A bit of quality, and it belongs to a very colourful Dorothy. What an outfit!
0:15:33 > 0:15:34- I know.- Isn't that lovely?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- That brightens up a dull day. - Thank you.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41- It does, yes.- You bought this Ruskin vase in a boot sale?- Yes.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- A few years ago.- About ten years ago.- How much did you pay for it?- £2.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- That's not a bad buy. - Not a bad buy, was it?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- Hopefully we're gonna get 100 quid today, 150.- Who knows.- Who knows?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53We just need two eager bidders.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56What do you think this will do, Adam? Top end?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I'm hoping it'll make 100-plus.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02It's not gonna be a fortune because the very expensive Ruskin ones are the high-fired ones.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07- This one isn't one of those. - 100 quid would be nice. - It would be lovely, yes.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11We're gonna find out what you're gonna do with the £100 after we've sold it
0:16:11 > 0:16:14because it's going under the hammer now. Good luck.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19305, the Arts and Crafts style Ruskin pottery vase.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Rather a nice one there. £60 bid.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25£60, the lot. 70, 80, 90. £90 bid.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27£90 the lot, at 90.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32100, and 10. 120, 130.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34140. £140 bid.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37140. Anywhere else now? 140.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39150.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41This is great. This is really good.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- 160.- On the phone.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48170, 180...
0:16:48 > 0:16:51£180 on the telephone now, and selling. At £180.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55The hammer's gone down, £180.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Very good. - What are you gonna do with that?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Oh, have a holiday, I suppose.- Where?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Somewhere warm.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- Where would you like to go? - Australia.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10- Have you been before?- Yes. - Hopefully, that'll be a good contribution towards it.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- That'll go towards the fare.- Yeah. - Very nice.- What a good price. - Strong price.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Very strong price.- I'm pleased with that.- Thank you.- It's a pleasure.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26I've been joined by Anthea in the nick of time.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31It's packed in this room. It's exciting, we're getting great prices here today.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- Selling the family heirlooms?- Yes.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Silver tea service going under the hammer.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Will we get 200 to 300? That's what we're hoping for.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41The money's already spent. What have you been doing?
0:17:41 > 0:17:46I've been competing for Britain, which unfortunately because it's a minority sport, it's expensive.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49I've been orienteering on horseback.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Fantastic. - With James's sister-in-law.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Wow!
0:17:53 > 0:17:58- Yeah, you see.- We didn't find out until the valuation.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- What a coincidence.- Yeah.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03What a coincidence. Will we get the top end?
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Well, we've got to, haven't we? We've got saddles and tack to buy.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08The bank manager will be pleased!
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Lot 165, the Art Nouveau, three-piece tea service
0:18:12 > 0:18:14in the case. I've £100 bid.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18£100, the lot. 120, 140, 160. 180.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20£180 bid. At 180.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25180, the lot. At 180 bid. £180, and I'm selling now.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Are you done? At £180.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29The hammer's gone down, it's sold.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- Anything's better than nothing. - Just scraped through there.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Silver's a hard thing to sell at the moment.- Especially tea sets.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41People have to polish it. Then, what do you do with it? Put it on display, and it gets nicked.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Being in a box, you don't have to polish it so much.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46No. Sad to see it go?
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Kind of. It's very much something I've known from my childhood.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54You've still got the memories and you can hang onto those.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Good luck with Team GB.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Thank you very much.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07It's time for me to weave some magic. It's my turn to be the expert.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11We've got Jason and that spinning wheel that belongs to your mum.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- There are a few spinning wheels here. Have you seen them? - I've noticed.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe it's gonna draw all the collectors in.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23They do belong in a bygone museum. What's Hilary gonna do with the money?
0:19:23 > 0:19:28- She's going to New Zealand for three weeks, so she wants money for that.- Bit of spending money.- Yes.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33- Are you here by yourself?- I've brought a bit of moral support.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I've got my wife and my little daughter there.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Oh, Stella, hello.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39She's cute. How old is she?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- She's just two. - You've got to treat her as well.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Lot number 50, the spinning wheel.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51I've £80 bid. 80, 90, 100.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55And 10, 120, 130. £130 bid. At 130.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59£130 the lot. 130 and selling.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01All done at £130.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Yes! That was short and sweet.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- Spot on, weren't you?- Well...
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Not bad at all. That's gonna help Mum get to New Zealand.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Definitely.- Who's she going to visit in New Zealand?
0:20:13 > 0:20:17She's going with her new partner who's taking her on holiday for three weeks.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I'm sure she'll enjoy herself. A bit of extra spending money.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25- Jason, and all the family, thank you very much for coming in. It's been a pleasure.- Thank you.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Are you ready for this, Linda?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36What will the Wemyss dish do?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38We're looking at around 150 to £200.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- A little bit of damage.- Yes.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45- But it attracted James's eye. - A nice little thing.- Classic thing. - Yeah. I really like it.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Why are you flogging this?
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Well, I've got a B&B, and things get broken.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- I'd keep this.- Oh, don't tell me that!- I'd add to my collection.
0:20:54 > 0:21:00- I'd put it all in a dresser and I'd make all of my guests look at it in amazement.- Don't be nasty!
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- You could put your prices up. - Don't...!
0:21:03 > 0:21:09- I umm-ed and ahh-ed when I was at the school.- And he talked you into flogging it, did he?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- No, the other one did. - Oh, there you go.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16- Both our experts are at it. - Can I withdraw it now?- No, it's too late. It's far too late!
0:21:18 > 0:21:22In fact, it's going under the hammer right now. Good luck, this is it.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Lot 275, the Wemyss ware.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Little butter dish and cover there.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Well, perhaps it won't get the price.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- It will.- Oh!
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Various bids, I've £240 bid.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41- Wow!- 230, 260, 280. 280. £280 bid.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43At 280. 300, 320.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45340.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48340. 360.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52360. 380, 390.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56400. £400, I'm out. £400 bid.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01- This is fantastic.- £400. Anywhere else, on the telephone? At £400.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06A round nice figure there, £400.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08We're close to Scotland, aren't we?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- The Scottish collectors are here. - Oh, do you reckon?
0:22:11 > 0:22:15I wonder who bought that. I wonder if they had a B&B to put it in.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- Or a lovely little hotel to show it off!- I don't wish to know...
0:22:19 > 0:22:21They'll probably be serving honey from it.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Until the mid-19th century, the Lake District was a remote and rural area
0:22:36 > 0:22:40known only to those who really worked and lived here.
0:22:40 > 0:22:46All that changed in 1847 with the arrival of the railways at Windermere.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50While the cities of northern England were expanding rapidly
0:22:50 > 0:22:56as the Industrial Revolution took hold, the beauty of the Lake District offered a breath of fresh air.
0:22:56 > 0:23:03Increasing numbers of the better-off travelled up to the Lakes for their holidays to take in this spectacular
0:23:03 > 0:23:07beautiful scenery and soak up all the charms of nature.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25Some very wealthy families were even able to build their own holiday homes
0:23:25 > 0:23:29and the Holts of Manchester were one such family.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34Edward Holt was a brewery magnate and Lord Mayor of Manchester.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37He wanted a rural retreat where he, his wife and their children
0:23:37 > 0:23:42could escape from the city whenever they were able to.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47The result was Blackwell, an architectural delight set in its own grounds
0:23:47 > 0:23:53with the most striking views of Lake Windermere there and the Old Man of Coniston just further on.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12This isn't any old holiday home. Blackwell was built and designed
0:24:12 > 0:24:19at a very key moment in time when architects were beginning to look anew at the very function of a house.
0:24:19 > 0:24:26The new monied middle classes, they wanted their own version of an ancestral aristocratic pile.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Their lifestyles were much less formal than the older monied families.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34They wanted this to be reflected in their homes.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43One architect in particular was keen to explore the needs of the modern middle-class family.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott came to prominence during the transition from
0:24:48 > 0:24:54the Victorian to the Edwardian era, when great social changes were afoot.
0:24:54 > 0:25:00Those changes were mirrored in the new ways that artists and designers set about their work.
0:25:00 > 0:25:08The Arts and Crafts movement was flourishing in the Lake District when Baillie Scott set to work in 1898.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Blackwell is a pre-eminent example of an Arts and Crafts house.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26The movement rejected the conventions of clutter and excess,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29characteristics of the Victorian house,
0:25:29 > 0:25:35and in total contrast they wanted open-plan spaciousness and very sparse furnishings.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Holiday homes aren't restricted to the domestic necessities of everyday life
0:25:42 > 0:25:48so Baillie Scott was able to indulge himself to the utmost of all his architectural and design fantasies.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53The result? Well, this is one of his finest interiors.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01Carvings of birds, plants and berries reflect the natural history of the area.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Small mirrors set into the fireplace catch the light flooding in through
0:26:05 > 0:26:10the huge bay window, and the view - well, that's absolutely breathtaking.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Wealthy people are often in the vanguard of those adopting new trends
0:26:16 > 0:26:20and Blackwell was at the very forefront of design.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25It was seen as a local talking point and the Holts would have been seen as extremely fashionable.
0:26:25 > 0:26:32All this high fashion, as you know, does date rather quickly and become a little bit hard to live with.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36In its heyday, the house would have been a hive of activity
0:26:36 > 0:26:39with an army of servants rushing to do the family's bidding.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Edward Holt's son and heir, Joseph, was killed in the Great War.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Blackwell was eventually inherited by Holt's second son, also Edward,
0:26:47 > 0:26:51but the house had already fallen into disuse by then.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56By the 1920s it had become obvious that the old-style country house,
0:26:56 > 0:27:01reliant as it was on a large domestic staff, could no longer function
0:27:01 > 0:27:03and as the 20th century progressed,
0:27:03 > 0:27:07the number of people willing to enter service diminished.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17But Blackwell remains intact and stands as a beautiful reminder
0:27:17 > 0:27:23of a bygone era when, as John Ruskin, the intellectual father of the Arts and Crafts movement wrote,
0:27:23 > 0:27:27"Good art flowed from the craftsmen who created it."
0:27:34 > 0:27:39Now, with all that inspiration, let's get straight back to our valuation day.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Adam has found something a little more prosaic.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Well, Deborah, what an unusual potty you've brought in.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Yes, it is. And it's not a potty.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- It's a spittoon, isn't it? - Yes, I think so.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57You can hold a lot of saliva in there - it's a good generous size.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Yes. It's very attractive, but when you know what it's for...
0:28:01 > 0:28:06It's a very decorative object for someone to gob into, isn't it?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- It's made by Doulton.- Yes.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Dates from the Edwardian period, blue and white transfer printed decoration.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14It's a pleasing object, actually.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18- Yes.- This is yours, is it?- It is, it was given to me by my mother.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22- She just thought it was ornamental. - Where did your mother get it from?
0:28:22 > 0:28:25We used to live in the Isle of Man and she bought it there.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28I don't know how much she paid for it.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30She said they used to use them in pubs.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- Yes.- They'd be by the fireplace. - They did used to use them in pubs.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38She did wonder whether I'd be using it, but no, it's not my style!
0:28:38 > 0:28:42I don't know if it can be converted to a modern-day use, really.
0:28:42 > 0:28:47- Flowers?- Yeah, I wondered about a plant in it, but I don't really use blue and white.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51- No?- I just thought I'd like to come and see what it fetched.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54You don't see them that often. I suppose they were disregarded
0:28:54 > 0:28:57and they suffered a lot of damage and were broken up.
0:28:57 > 0:29:02This one's no exception. We've got some damage here because it was a working object.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06- There's not a lot of value, because of the condition.- Right, OK.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10- I think an estimate of £30 to £50. - That's fine, by me.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15- A reserve of 25, just in case it goes for nothing.- Yes, that's OK.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- If it doesn't make that, it's worth taking it home.- Yes.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Absolutely. I'm really pleased you brought it along.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- It's not often you get a chance to talk about spitting on TV.- No.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- It's made my day. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Now this is very interesting. It is quite spooky really.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41I'm sitting in between Harold and Philippa.
0:29:41 > 0:29:46Harold has brought in a print of Ruskin from the original painted by Collingwood.
0:29:46 > 0:29:51Now, this is spooky because, Philippa, it was your grandfather...
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- My grandfather. - Who was the original artist.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Collingwood, who painted that.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00It was just chance that I saw him going out with that
0:30:00 > 0:30:03and I said, "That was a picture of Ruskin, wasn't it?"
0:30:03 > 0:30:07He said, "Yes". I said, "My grandfather painted the original."
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- It's in the National Portrait Gallery now.- In London.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- Do you have a copy of it like this? - No, but I have it in books.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- It's a well captured image.- Yes. - So your grandfather knew Ruskin?
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Yes, he worked for Ruskin for the last 30 years of Ruskin's life.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24What was he like as a person?
0:30:24 > 0:30:30My family never said a word against him. So...I think he was a very interesting man.
0:30:30 > 0:30:35My mother, as a little girl, used to go and sit in his bedroom when he was old and an invalid.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- So this has brought back lots of memories?- Yes, it was quite amusing.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43A trip down memory lane. Harold, why did you bring this in then?
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Was it for a valuation or are you hoping to sell this?
0:30:46 > 0:30:51No, I brought it in because it was...a history of the area,
0:30:51 > 0:30:55rather than selling it. Trying to get a value on it, as well.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Hopefully, our experts are going to enlighten you a little bit later.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01What a happy ending!
0:31:01 > 0:31:04It's such a feel-good factor. I love it when things like this happen.
0:31:04 > 0:31:10- Thank you so much for both being in the right place at the right time. - Well done.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Jennifer, it doesn't take a valuer to tell you what these are.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- Is this something you've had on the dressing table at home?- I have, yes.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24- It was passed down from my aunty. - Do you think she had them new?
0:31:24 > 0:31:29No, I don't think she did. She was a housekeeper to a family
0:31:29 > 0:31:33and I think it was actually passed down from that line.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36OK. They're lovely quality.
0:31:36 > 0:31:41- They're gorgeous.- You know it's silver?- I think it is.- Come on...
0:31:41 > 0:31:47- Anyone who's been watching Flog It should know by now how to tell a bit of silver.- Yes, it's silver.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48Tell me about those marks.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- It's got the lion on there. - What does the lion mean?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- That shows it's silver.- Fantastic.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57It's got a leopard there and that shows it was London.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02Brilliant. You've got a maker's mark there that's very badly rubbed.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05It's not very clear. But that's the mark for Mappin and Webb.
0:32:05 > 0:32:11- So... Fantastic. We can swap chairs and you can have my job!- Oh, well...
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- This one...- That hasn't got any markings.- No, silver plate.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18Because it was used as an atomiser, and you push that up and down,
0:32:18 > 0:32:22it needed to be a bit stronger. Silver would have been too weak.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25So we've got a really nice set here. The decoration on the cover -
0:32:25 > 0:32:30I thought it might have been enamel to start with, but it's not, it's a form of lacquer.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34It's a blacky or a browny colour lacquer.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36It's been hand-painted over the top.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40We've got these wonderful stylised insects here.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43You can tell this has been influenced from something Japanese
0:32:43 > 0:32:46because they're not English insects even.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Like a fancy type of wasp of some form.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53But obviously the blossoms there...
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Typical of the Japanese influence really.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59Each one is individually decorated.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02It's a good set. Having used it, why get rid of it?
0:33:02 > 0:33:07Because I really don't have anywhere to show it to its best advantage.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10How about a dressing table? You must have one of those.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- I know, but you get that much clutter.- You do, it's true.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Face powder?
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- People don't use it, do they? - Don't use face powder!
0:33:19 > 0:33:21I can understand really.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23And atomisers.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25You just use a bottle now.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29I suppose, in a way, it's a comment on the times.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32The difficulty is though, just in the same way that
0:33:32 > 0:33:35you wouldn't use it today, lots of others wouldn't either.
0:33:35 > 0:33:42So it's probably going to go purely as a form of decoration for somebody. Now we need to add it up.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- Go on then.- People collect scent bottles and atomisers.
0:33:45 > 0:33:51So the atomiser itself has a certain value.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54I think that's worth £60-£65.
0:33:54 > 0:34:00Silver powder box and cover - again, powder boxes are not so saleable, but it's a silver one.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04So that's got to be worth about £40-£50. Say we've got 100 there.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07That's got to be another £50 or £60.
0:34:07 > 0:34:12- So shall we say £120-£180? Is that OK for you?- Fine.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15I'm sure it will find a home.
0:34:15 > 0:34:21- It really is such a fantastic design that somebody will love it.- Good.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Hello, Mo.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- Hi.- You've brought along some fabulous candlesticks
0:34:35 > 0:34:41and something I'd really like myself which isn't always the case when I see things on this programme.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43What can you tell me about them?
0:34:43 > 0:34:48Well, they belong to my sister-in-law and she asked me to sell some things for her.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52I picked out these from the boxes that she gave me.
0:34:52 > 0:34:59I liked the look of these and I thought that they were pewter and I like the style of them because
0:34:59 > 0:35:04they're the type of thing that I like. A lot of the other things were things that I don't like.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Were you tempted to offer something to her for them?
0:35:06 > 0:35:09I hoped she might give them to me actually!
0:35:11 > 0:35:15- But no.- But you've ended up bringing them along. A good pair.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19Arts and Crafts, Tudric pewter candlesticks for Liberty and Co.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Turn of the century.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23There's the Tudric mark there
0:35:23 > 0:35:28and there's the shape number which is quite a nice early number.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33- The later pieces have five digits and six digit numbers.- Oh, right!
0:35:33 > 0:35:38The numbers all refer to a shape or design number that can be found out.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42There they are. D'you know much about the Arts and Crafts movement?
0:35:42 > 0:35:44I know a little.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48I visited a local house, Blackwell, a superb Arts and Crafts house.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- Yes, I know the one.- And they would fit very nicely inside there.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55They would. It's a movement that came at the end of the 19th century and into the early 20th century.
0:35:55 > 0:36:02The Victorians over-embellished everything. It was heavily carved and very ornamental, very fussy.
0:36:02 > 0:36:08Then they went back to basics and started using copper, brass, pewter
0:36:08 > 0:36:11and simple organic sinuous designs.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Back to the basics.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17The furniture was made from solid wood with exposed metalwork and things like that.
0:36:17 > 0:36:22So these are a good example of Arts and Crafts design. What you think they're worth?
0:36:22 > 0:36:26Probably about £50, something like that.
0:36:26 > 0:36:31I think they're worth more than that. I'm going to put £60-£100 as an estimate, if that's OK with you.
0:36:31 > 0:36:36- I'm sure she'd be very happy with that.- Shall we put a reserve at 60?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38- So they don't go for less.- OK.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42They should make three figures. They should make 100, maybe 120.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45That's what I'd call a come-and-buy-me estimate.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49They're going to fly out. I hope so now that I've said that anyway.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Adam was delighted to see this rather unusual item -
0:36:55 > 0:37:00a Royal Doulton spittoon - even if Deborah was less keen.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Jennifer impressed James with her knowledge of silver marks
0:37:02 > 0:37:07and he thought her dressing table set would prove a good seller.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Mo had rather hoped her sister-in-law would give her
0:37:10 > 0:37:14the Arts and Crafts candlesticks, but under the hammer they must go!
0:37:21 > 0:37:26I've just been joined by Deborah and we're about to flog a Doulton spittoon. A funny thing to own.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29You inherited it, didn't you, from mum?
0:37:29 > 0:37:33- Yes, and blue and white is just not quite me now.- Not your thing.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38But the good news is we're going to hopefully get £30-£50, which is what Adam's put on it.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42There's a bit of damage but it's a fun lot and we like the unusual.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45It is unusual. It's a great curio.
0:37:45 > 0:37:52The money will be spent on planting a tree, which is something we should all do to try and save the planet.
0:37:52 > 0:37:57And I know we can't see trees come to fruition, big mature oak trees and things like that,
0:37:57 > 0:37:59but little fruit trees like the one you're going to plant in your garden,
0:37:59 > 0:38:02you can actually get some fruit off in a year's time and enjoy it.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Yes, it's going to be a dessert apple tree
0:38:04 > 0:38:08and if I get a bit more money, there might be a damson tree, as well.
0:38:08 > 0:38:13Lot 366, the late Victorian porcelain spittoon.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Just hold it down. I might catch it from here.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17I've £10 bid. At £10.
0:38:17 > 0:38:1915, £20.
0:38:19 > 0:38:2130, £30 bid. £30 bid.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23£30 the lot. 30, 30 bid.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- Good.- £30 bid. £30 the lot, at 30?
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Selling now at £30.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30Blink and you'll miss it.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Straight in and straight out. £30, that's not bad.
0:38:33 > 0:38:38That will get you, depending on what garden centre you go to, a plum tree and an apple tree.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Yes, you're probably right and I look forward to planting them.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42So high though.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46Only about that high, sort of a metre and a half off the ground.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50If you start at that height, they are about £28-£29.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53I'll get two small trees and that will do me fine.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Oh, how lovely is that! Adam, we're responsible for that.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59And when it blossoms, I'll think of you two.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Oh, that's nice, isn't it?
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Jennifer, how exciting is this? Your moment is just about to come.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13We're looking at £120-£180 for this dressing table set.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- I hope so.- This is a good one.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21- Our expert James, who's just about to join us here, said it's one of the best he's ever seen.- It's a good one.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23But they're hard to sell.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Extremely hard to sell. They might get broken up by the trade, split up.
0:39:26 > 0:39:31A couple of bits are worth selling individually, but the brushes and the mirrors are hard.
0:39:31 > 0:39:36If we get that top end, what would you put all the money towards?
0:39:36 > 0:39:40I'd put some of it towards a piece of Lladro that I've seen.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- What, here in the sale? - No, not in the sale.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- That's what you collect. - Yes, I like Lladro.- OK,
0:39:46 > 0:39:49fingers crossed, this is it, it's going under the hammer.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53Lot 180...
0:39:53 > 0:39:58the dressing table set, very nice set there. £50 bid. 50, 60, 70.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01£70. £70 the lot at 70. £70 bid.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Seven pieces altogether.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- £70 bid.- We want more!- 80, 90.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- Come on.- 90, 100. 100, £100 bid.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13At £100 the lot. Anywhere else now? At 100 and selling... At £100.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- £100 - he sold it.- That's all right.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18- That's OK, isn't it?- That's fine.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20At least I'm not taking it home!
0:40:21 > 0:40:27- Well, happy shopping anyway.- Oh, I'm a good shopper!- I bet you are!
0:40:31 > 0:40:36When you mention Arts and Crafts you've got to think Liberty, so we've got a lovely pair of candlesticks.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Pewter, made by Liberty and Co. They belong to your sister.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Yes, they're my sister-in-law's.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45- Were you happy with the valuation - £60-£100? - Yes, I thought that was fine.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Let's hope we can get you a little bit more.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52- Adam, I reckon these could do a bit more.- It would be nice to, yes.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54I like to think I know this market fairly well.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58He's the man for Arts and Crafts. Definitely. This is your thing.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01We've seen them time and time again on the show.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05Yes, hopefully just push over the three-figure mark. But you never know.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07That would be good, wouldn't it?
0:41:07 > 0:41:10There's got to be a drink in it for you, surely.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14I think so. If they don't sell, maybe she'll let me buy them.
0:41:14 > 0:41:19Lot 428, the pair of Liberty Arts and Crafts candlesticks.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23Various bids in the book. I have £260 bid.
0:41:23 > 0:41:28There was a gasp in the room. At 260. 280, 280.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32300 and 20.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35350. 350 on the telephone.
0:41:35 > 0:41:36350, anywhere else now?
0:41:36 > 0:41:38At 350, 380.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42380, 400.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45£400 with Tom, at £400 and selling?
0:41:45 > 0:41:48On the telephone at £400.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Yes, the hammer's gone down. 400 quid. That lit the saleroom up.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54£400!
0:41:54 > 0:41:57- That's amazing!- It's unbelievable.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Adam, you're our expert, what happened there?
0:42:00 > 0:42:02We had a good result, didn't we!
0:42:02 > 0:42:07You could be on a percentage, think of that. Think of the money.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10They made what they were worth.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Your sister is going to be so surprised.
0:42:13 > 0:42:19That's really good for her because a lot of the other things that she's got are of a lesser value.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22But that's great.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26If you've got any antiques and collectibles you're unsure about
0:42:26 > 0:42:29and you want to flog, bring them along to one of our valuation days.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33You can get details of up-and-coming dates and venues on our BBC website.
0:42:33 > 0:42:34Just log on to:
0:42:36 > 0:42:40If you don't have a computer, check the details in your local press.
0:42:40 > 0:42:45Go on, you could end up like Mo here with 400 quid, which is a brilliant, brilliant result!
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Well, that's it, we're coming to the end of our show.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00What a brilliant one it was up here in the Lakes. Lots of surprises.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03It was especially good to see that big smile on Mo's face.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07And a big grin on my face, as well, and on our expert Adam's face
0:43:07 > 0:43:12because he put the initial valuation of £60 on the Art Nouveau candlesticks,
0:43:12 > 0:43:15the Liberty pair which sold for a massive £400.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17That's what it's all about, lots of surprises.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20So join me next time on Flog It for many more.
