0:00:02 > 0:00:05Belfast's City Hall is an architectural delight.
0:00:05 > 0:00:10It was opened 100 years ago in 1906 and it dominates Donegal Square.
0:00:10 > 0:00:16But it could be outshone here today by our massive Flog It! queue.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Belfast's history is everywhere, from the political murals,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00icons of the Troubles, to the new bars and restaurants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03The signs of prosperity and peace.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09And just look at the City Hall's magnificent marble entrance hall.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Right above me, up there right now is a copper dome.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17It is exquisitely adorned and it is 53 metres above ground level.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20That second tier up there is a whispering gallery.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24The whisper out today is Anita Manning and David Barbie are our two experts.
0:01:29 > 0:01:35Not only do we have an interesting building, it looks like we may have some interesting stuff today.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Anita is already captivated by a bit of local history.
0:01:39 > 0:01:45Dolores, I know these are not in good condition, but they have got a lot of history.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Now tell me about this album.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51This album belonged to my mother-in-law's aunt
0:01:51 > 0:01:57who went to America to look after four children whose mother had died.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59And subsequently the father died.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01So she was their main carer.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- So she married the guy.- Yes. - And then came back to Ireland.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07After he had died.
0:02:07 > 0:02:13- After he had died.- Yes. I've no idea who the people in the pictures are. I can't even...
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Can you see any family resemblances?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18I do in some of them, yes. I do.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22But I never met this lady.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25So when she died, the house was derelict for a long time.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28We had to clear it out for it to be demolished.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31So I thought, right, they'll go in a bin.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I never saw such rubbish in all my life.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39And then my husband's sister said she thought they may be of interest to someone.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- So he we are.- So he we are.
0:02:41 > 0:02:47So, of course we know that many Irish went across to America, as did many Scots.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- Absolutely. We think this... - We think this might be her.
0:02:51 > 0:02:58- Yes.- Most of the photographs in here are of American origin.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00That's right.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Here we have an American soldier.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05It's about the period 1880s.
0:03:05 > 0:03:11And all the photographs had been taken in Louisiana
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- and New York. - Yes.- This is the lady concerned.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Right.
0:03:15 > 0:03:21It's a fascinating record of Irish emigration really.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- Travels, that's right. - Fascinating subject.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27If we look at the postcards here,
0:03:27 > 0:03:32it reflects the age they were made in and it's a piece of social history.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35We have lots of fun ones there.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Typical Irish old granny with her spinning wheel.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44- And the old clay pipe will be down there somewhere.- And the donkey.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46A wee bit of romance here.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49"Ah, Bridget, hold me tight."
0:03:51 > 0:03:54He's not a bad-looking man either. Dolores,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56they're not going to get a lot of money.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- No, I wouldn't expect it. - Because of the condition.
0:03:59 > 0:04:05If the condition of this had been better, it could have been £80-100.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10But what we're really doing is an exercise in giving somebody the interest of the photographs.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15- That's right.- So I think if we put it in £20-30 and see what's happens.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- Would you be happy with that? - Absolutely.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20It would leave room in the bin.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25It will leave room in the bin. Don't do that, Dolores.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- I'll see you on the day. We'll have some fun.- Thank you very much.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Karen, was this yours as a child?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41No, I don't think I'm quite that old!
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Well, this is a christening present, isn't it?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Given to a child in the 1930s.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Gosh, I remember having one of these.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54This is a food shoveller, a food pusher.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56And a spoon.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00And nice grips so the child can get their fingers or hands through it.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05It's quite nice. Unfortunately not sought after now because they have
0:05:05 > 0:05:10these ergonomic-type things, plastic handles with wavy grips.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15So this is more of a novelty than anything else. But it is silver, which is rather nice.
0:05:15 > 0:05:21I'm more interested in this, honestly, because this is a piece of Irish silver.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25The mark is badly rubbed but it is Dublin,
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- probably around 1790.- OK.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30The crest, which is a heron...
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- Yes.- Is that a family crest?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36I have no idea at all. No idea.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Where did it come from?- I haven't seen anything else with that on.
0:05:39 > 0:05:45It came from my mother's attic. Actually we've been helping her clear out her attic.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- It just appeared and you didn't know it was there.- With a pile of silver.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54I remember having to clean these as a child. But most of them got put up in the attic for that reason.
0:05:54 > 0:06:00- Was it a labour of love? - No, I think it was a labour in need of some pocket money.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01This is intriguing.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04This is a Scottish piece
0:06:04 > 0:06:07by a silversmith called Wilkie.
0:06:07 > 0:06:13Date-wise, it's the earlier part of the 19th century, around 1836.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15So an interesting piece of silver.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18And peculiar to that sort of provincial Scottish school
0:06:18 > 0:06:23is this elongated grip on the sugar tongs.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- These are almost a thing of the past. - Yes.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Nobody has sugar lumps these days.
0:06:28 > 0:06:34So if we put this altogether, I think there's a potential price of £120-150.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- OK, right. - Would that be interesting to you?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- I think so.- You just want them sold.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44They've been in the attic for generations, generations of different attics.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I'd love to know if there's anything else up there.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- I think I've cleared it all out now. - OK.- It took me a fair while.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- We might put a reserve around £100, would that be suitable? - That would be great.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Pamela, it's great to see you.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I absolutely love this.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10- Tell me about it.- I got it given to me a couple of years ago.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14And I've had it in my hall since, and it gets in the road now!
0:07:14 > 0:07:20Belfast has such a history of shipbuilding, Harland and Wolff,
0:07:20 > 0:07:25it's part of your social history. This is maritime memorabilia of a slightly different ilk.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30It's slightly more romantic, slightly down-sized.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- Nevertheless it's quite a weight. - Yes.- When you feel that, it's very difficult to pick up.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40It is a tiller wheel, or ship's wheel. It would have been mounted on a post
0:07:40 > 0:07:44at the aft of the vessel to change the direction of the rudder.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Very much like a tiller would do.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50It is late Victorian, very early Edwardian.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53And of course it's made of mahogany, a lovely tight grain on that.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57It's completely impervious to the salt water so it's not going to rot.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00And it is stunning.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03I like the inlay in brass as well.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- This is the face side.- Yes.
0:08:06 > 0:08:12- This side here has a metal plate on it. This would be attached to the post.- Yes.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15And then this nut would unscrew.
0:08:15 > 0:08:22You'd screw this and tighten it back up, bolt it back onto the tiller post, onto this locking plate.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27- It's such a shame we don't know the vessel it's come from.- Yes.
0:08:27 > 0:08:33I would say, judging from the size of this tiller wheel, it would have been a tea clipper, a sloop,
0:08:33 > 0:08:37that would be possibly about 100-150ft long, quite a big vessel.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40It's been varnished. You can see it's been varnished.
0:08:40 > 0:08:46It's just starting to peel away, so you can see the natural patina of the wheel.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I like that. This shouldn't be revarnished.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- I didn't want to clean it. I thought it would ruin it.- You did right.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Don't clean the brass inlay.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57All this coopering here,
0:08:57 > 0:08:59you shouldn't clean it at all.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01It looks really nice when it's been oxidised.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06- It's going slightly green, that verdigris look.- Natural looking.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I love it.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10What do you think this is worth?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I have no idea.
0:09:14 > 0:09:20Well, in the right place at the right time, ships' wheels like this will sell for around £300-400.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Oh, very good.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Whether we're in the right place at the right time, I'm not sure.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- But I'd like to think this would do £200-300.- Lovely.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Shall we put it into auction with a value of £200-300?
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Yes.- With a reserve of £200. - Lovely.- OK.
0:09:43 > 0:09:49Phil, it's lovely to be in Belfast and see a lovely tea set like that.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52After this, we'll have a nice wee cup of tea.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57Now...this tea set was made in the 1930s.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Can you tell me, where did you get it?
0:10:00 > 0:10:05Well, it's been handed down the family. From my mum's mum.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10- It's been in the attic for years now.- So they gave it to you.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13It was given to me just to see what I can get.
0:10:13 > 0:10:19Ah, right. You've never had all your big pals and sat down with these delicate little tea cups?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I don't think they would be here.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- You would look a bit daft with a wee cup of tea like that.- Indeed.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30We have 12 cups, 12 plates, 12 saucers.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34We have our two big plates and sugar and cream.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Shelley was a Staffordshire factory.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40And they were known for
0:10:40 > 0:10:45this lovely white body of the china.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48This is transfer printed.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50And then hand enamelled after that.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53You can see that in these little flowers.
0:10:53 > 0:10:59If we look at the back, we can see the back stamp which tells us that it is Shelley.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04And this porcelain is very popular at this time.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06So that's good.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11They were well known for their Art Deco porcelain.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15And this shows that type of style,
0:11:15 > 0:11:20with this rather stylised handle and the fluted shape around here.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22So, price, Philip,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- what do you think, yourself? - As much as possible.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28That's what I want for you as well.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30But we have to be realistic.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Unfortunately we have some damage in the sugar bowl.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39So this is going to pull the price down a wee bitty.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44I would like to put it in with an estimate of £100-150,
0:11:44 > 0:11:48which would be an encouraging estimate.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- It would bring them into the bidding. - Right.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55- Would you feel happy with that? - Yes.- Let's put it into the sale,
0:11:55 > 0:12:00and I think, to protect it, a reserve of £100.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Let's hope it does above the higher estimate.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09So let's have another run through of what we're taking off to auction.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13First up are the fascinating photo and postcard albums.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I think local historians will love these.
0:12:16 > 0:12:22Then we've got the intriguing silver whose recent history has been in the attic.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27Next up, the tiller wheel, a romantic reminder of the sea-going past.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30And finally, the Shelley tea set.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34And this one's quite simple - Phil just wants as much money as possible!
0:12:39 > 0:12:41This is where all the action starts.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Just up the road from the City Hall is Ross and Son's auctioneers
0:12:45 > 0:12:48and the man with the gavel today is Daniel Clarke.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54First going under the gavel... are those fascinating albums.
0:12:54 > 0:13:00Dolores, we're just about to sell your family photograph album which your aunt collected.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04There's lots of social history there of bygone times.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Well, yes, yes. Maybe somebody else will get pleasure from them.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11They are really collectible. So fingers crossed.
0:13:11 > 0:13:17They might end up in a little museum or at least get divided up and sorted out and may be sold singly.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22They aren't in great condition so that is why I kept the estimate low.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- They are such fun to browse through. - Good luck.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30We might have to wave goodbye. I think you will in fact. This is it.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35Lot number 541. Photograph album and a postcard album.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36£30 for the two albums?
0:13:36 > 0:13:40£20, 20 with the porter, 20. 30.
0:13:40 > 0:13:4340, 50, 60.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45At £60 with porter.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47At £60.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52With the porter at £60, we're selling now. At £60.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Hammer's gone down. Short and sweet.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- £60.- I can't believe it.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Told you they were worth something. What will you do with 60 quid?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04What could you do with 60 quid?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Have a good single malt whisky, buy a bottle.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- Possibly a nice dinner.- Yes, or a nice dinner.- Something like that.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Thank you very much indeed.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Karen's silver spoon, pusher and tongs are just about to go under the hammer.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Retrieved from the attic and they'd been up there for generations.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29What made you go into the attic and look?
0:14:29 > 0:14:33We were clearing out the attic because my mother is moving house.
0:14:33 > 0:14:39- They are your mum's then. - Yes, my mother is moving and she didn't know what they were.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44- So you discovered lots of new treasures.- Absolutely. - All forgotten about.- Totally.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48It was a mixed lot, but you've withdrawn some things from it.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50A little ladled which nobody was...
0:14:50 > 0:14:55- David hasn't noticed yet, but it will affect the valuation. - Of course it will.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59We had a job lot virtually and we were looking for £100 to £150.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04But that lovely Georgian ladle would just the price straight up and you've withdrawn it.
0:15:04 > 0:15:11- Yes.- Ah, to die for!- I love it now, but I wasn't interested until you pointed out how beautiful it was.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Once the virtues are pointed out, a lot of people think, yes,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18I'd really like to keep it, and they don't mind if it doesn't sell.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23- Absolutely.- I am going to curb my enthusiasm in future.- OK.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28Sugar tongs, silver spoon and pusher
0:15:28 > 0:15:30in a case. £50 please.
0:15:30 > 0:15:3140.
0:15:31 > 0:15:3530 anywhere? 20 I'm bid. At £20 I am bid.
0:15:35 > 0:15:3830, thank you, on my right at £30.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40At £30. 40 behind you.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42At £40. Lady in a headscarf at 40.
0:15:42 > 0:15:4450, at £50.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47That's good, it's moving.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49I have now £50. At £50.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52One more bid. Please, please, please.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53All done at 50?
0:15:53 > 0:15:58- Well, I'm afraid I can't sell. - He hasn't sold them.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I think he hasn't reduced the value, like we talked about.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Never mind, I kind of like those tongs anyway!
0:16:03 > 0:16:08I tell you what we'll do. I'll have a word with the auctioneer and if we can find the bidder
0:16:08 > 0:16:12that was prepared to pay £50 and you want to sell, we'll flog them.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- Yes.- OK, but otherwise you'll be happy to take them home still? - Absolutely, yes.- OK.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Well, it's not all that bad, is it?
0:16:25 > 0:16:26My turn to be the expert now.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31We got that lovely mahogany, late-Victorian ship's wheel, or tiller's wheel.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34It was brought in by Pamela Martin. A good surname that.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Do you buy and sell here at all?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- No.- Only when Flog It is in town.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Only when Flog It is in town.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- The good news is that I had a word with the auctioneer earlier.- Right.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49He agrees with the valuation, it is quality. Fingers crossed we are going to get the top end,
0:16:49 > 0:16:54- but I'm pretty sure we'll sell this, OK?- Grand.- Full steam ahead? - Yes, full steam ahead.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Late Victorian mahogany ship's tiller wheel.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00It looks so good in the window, silhouetted.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05Very nice condition. Can we say £200 please for the ship's wheel?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I'll take £100. 100 I am bid.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10At £100.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14120. 120 I am bid.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17At 120. A new bidder at 40.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20At 140. Any more? At 160, thank you.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22At 160.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24At 170.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29- 180.- It's good, come on. - £180, the ship's wheel at 180.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- We've goy a bit of discretion, haven't we?- Yes.- At £180.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36At £180 for the ship's wheel. £180.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Thank goodness for discretion.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43But that is definitely worth £200 to £300. Somebody's got a bargain.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- You're please to get rid of it, aren't you?- Yes, very pleased.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49What I you going to spend the money on?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Saving it. - Saving it, for a rainy day?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- To live in Lanzarote. - Sorry?- To go and live in Lanzarote.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- Are you really?- Yes. - What's wrong with Belfast?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- It's not warm enough.- Oh.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04That's a real life-changing move.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Yes. It's more for my husband.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Why? Because he needs warm weather?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Yes. Asthma.- Asthma.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Ah, that's a really brave move.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- Good luck and I hope you have a lovely life out there.- Me too.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24It's got the quality and the name. It's a Shelley tea set, but does it have the right value?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Phil, good to see you again.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31You've got something to tell us cos Anita, our expert, doesn't know this.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34We had a fixed reserve of £100, a value £100 to £150.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36What's changed?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Well, I've put the value up £100.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Why was that? Were you unhappy with the original value?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44I would not like to sell at that price.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48OK, so we've got a fixed reserve of £200 now.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Puts a bit of pressure on Anita.
0:18:50 > 0:18:58Well, the reason that I kept the estimate down was because we had some damage on the sugar bowl.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02If everything was absolutely right it could have flown.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07- It still might and I hope it does.- At least the auctioneer agreed with you
0:19:07 > 0:19:11otherwise he would have said, no, we've got to keep it at that.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16We are going to find out right here right now. Good luck, both of you. This is it.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Lot 241. Shelley tea set.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24There we have it. What can we say? 30, 300, 200 say. £100 anywhere?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- Come on, get in there. - £100 for the Shelley.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29100 at the back. £100 I am bid.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33At 120. 150. At £150.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38180. At £180, I'm bid now at £180.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40At £180, the bid is here at 180.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42180.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45You, sir, at £180.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Are you all finished at £180?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50He's used a bit of discretion there.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54He didn't have a fixed £200 reserve, it's gone at 180.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Happy man? Big smile?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- Fair enough.- That was close.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Yes, I think it was the damage again.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05If the item isn't perfect, you have to use a little discretion on it.
0:20:05 > 0:20:12If it had been perfect, 200, perhaps in excess of that because it was very, very pretty.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Nevertheless we got the £180, Phil. What is that going towards?
0:20:16 > 0:20:21- Christmas for the children. - Thank you so much for coming in.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38On the shore of Strangford Loch, 15 miles from Belfast,
0:20:38 > 0:20:42there is an estate where the same family have lived for over 300 years.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Alexander Stewart, a wealthy merchant,
0:20:45 > 0:20:51built a small country house here in 1770, and it grew over the years with the family's good fortune.
0:20:51 > 0:20:57This included a peerage. So Mount Stewart became the home of the Marquesses of Londonderry.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02It developed, as you would expect, into a rather grand and formal house...
0:21:02 > 0:21:07until the 1920s when someone arrived who shook things up.
0:21:07 > 0:21:13And here she is, Edith, Lady Londonderry, wife of Charles, the 7th Marquess.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16His political career had based them in central London
0:21:16 > 0:21:23where she excelled as a hostess, entertaining everyone from Winston Churchill to the Prince of Wales.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28She looks very proper here but she was wildly popular for her sense of fun.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39She set up the Ark Club as a light-hearted escape from the pressures of the First World War,
0:21:39 > 0:21:44and all the members of the club were given names of birds and beasts and mythical figures.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48And she even had all these statues commissioned for the garden.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Churchill was Winston the Warlock. Nancy Astor was Nancy the Gnat,
0:21:52 > 0:21:58and Edith herself presided over the Order of the Rainbow - Circe the Sorceress.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02A formidable character, she had been a powerful force
0:22:02 > 0:22:07in the women's suffragette movement, founding the Women's Legion in the First World War.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10The Legion enabled women to help the war effort.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Everything from agricultural work to ambulance driving. For this,
0:22:14 > 0:22:19Edith was made one of the first military Dames of the British Empire.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24So when Charles's political career brought the family back to Northern Ireland, Edith set about
0:22:24 > 0:22:30putting her stamp on the house, introducing bright, vivid, colours, style and opulence, making it
0:22:30 > 0:22:36suitable for a family home, but also making it a place where she could carry on her lavish entertainings
0:22:36 > 0:22:39which she was used to doing whilst living in London.
0:22:40 > 0:22:47She installed electric light and central heating in the house, and created the most amazing gardens.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Her ensuing parties became legendary.
0:22:49 > 0:22:56The guest list read like a Who's Who of the day, filled with artists, politicians and royalty.
0:23:01 > 0:23:07Definitely the focal point of the Stone Hall is a painting by Stubbs, which dominate the staircase.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Edith brought it back from her London home.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15It shows Hambletonian, one of the finest of a string of racehorses owned by the family.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20But if you look closely, you can see Stubbs has painted the horse standing on two left legs.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Technically that's not correct because the horse would fall over.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Nevertheless it is regarded as one of his finest pieces.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31People from all over the world come to look at it.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33And it is truly magnificent.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39The family were mad about horse racing and Edith's racing colours were bright pink,
0:23:39 > 0:23:43which inspired her to create a pink theme throughout the house.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51The drawing room is perhaps the best example of Edith's transformation of Mount Stewart.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54She got rid of most of the Edwardian fussiness.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Gone are the groups of seats, antimacassars, screens and palms,
0:23:58 > 0:24:02replaced with antique furniture in informal groups.
0:24:02 > 0:24:08Her soft, warm peach and cream colour scheme was gently lit by the then modern electric lamps.
0:24:12 > 0:24:18What sums it up for me, the whole quirkiness, is this piece because look what Edith's done.
0:24:18 > 0:24:25She's taken a very simple tin tea caddy, quite a large one, and she's adapted it into a lamp base.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30She's added a shade and had it wired up to take a bulb and I think that looks great.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33You could say it is illuminating, isn't it?
0:24:33 > 0:24:35But it shows that she is so hands on.
0:24:35 > 0:24:42She's cut a section of the shade out, added a picture from a book, and stuck it on with parcel tape.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47It shows there's an interior designer in her just bursting out.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59That's just the sort of chandelier you'd expect to see in a room like this,
0:24:59 > 0:25:03in a house so grand and elegant. But this chandelier has caught my eye.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08It's an extraordinary shaped one in the form of a sailing galleon.
0:25:08 > 0:25:15The view from these windows, which we can't see - the shutters are closed for conservation purposes,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17you can't let too much daylight into this room -
0:25:17 > 0:25:22but if you could imagine the view, it would appear that this chandelier, the ship,
0:25:22 > 0:25:26would be sailing on the loch, glittering at night time,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28creating a wonderful sense of illusion.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37Now owned by the National Trust, Mount Stewart is still lived in
0:25:37 > 0:25:40by her youngest daughter, Mary, now in her 80s.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Look at this, this is a really nice touch.
0:25:46 > 0:25:51Lady Edith has marked out all the heights of her children, and nieces and nephews, over the years.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55The growing stages. If I can just pick a couple out here.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58We've got Mairi Stewart,
0:25:58 > 0:26:01April 1st, five years old in 1926.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04She is that high, a little toddler.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09And here she is again being measured in June 1933.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13She is now 12 years old and she is that tall. Isn't that lovely?
0:26:13 > 0:26:17It really is little touches like this that bring the house to life.
0:26:17 > 0:26:23Despite its grandeur and massive size, Edith really did make this into a family home.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27The house is so intriguing, full of personal treasures and social history
0:26:27 > 0:26:30and it definitely is a window into a bygone era.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33But time to catch up with the present.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35It's straight back to the valuation.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I am going to go this way.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- Linda, who was Fanny?- I have no idea.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I don't know where she was, I'm afraid.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Because the name is there and the name is contemporary with the box.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- Right.- It is that type of engraving that you'd expect.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- It is not a name you'd hear today. - No.
0:27:10 > 0:27:17It is such a lovely box. The date is probably about 1840, that period.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20How did you get it, if you don't know where it came from?
0:27:20 > 0:27:26I think it was... My mother had five sisters and three of those sisters worked as nurses.
0:27:26 > 0:27:32I think they worked in a large home around Warren Point and may have got it from there.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34This is such a quality piece.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37First of all it is rosewood veneer,
0:27:37 > 0:27:44and then it has an inlay so intricate and cut by hand, of all this mother-of-pearl.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49And what is extraordinary, I'm running my hands over the surface and there is none missing.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52This is perfect. Lovely, lovely condition.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54The shape of it, what does it remind you of?
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- A bit like a coffin. - You've hit the nail on the head.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00It's like a coffin, but we would call it a sarcophagus.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- Right.- But it is a sewing box.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08And this is a lovely fitted interior, complete with all its compartments.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12The only thing we are missing possibly are all the cotton reels,
0:28:12 > 0:28:16which are mother-of-pearl and carved flower heads.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17It is all quality.
0:28:17 > 0:28:23Behind these little compartments, you would have put silks, ribbons, tapes.
0:28:23 > 0:28:30Here would have fitted sewing requisites, like scissors, bobbin hooks and things like that.
0:28:30 > 0:28:37This is interesting. This little thing here is the actual name plate of the manufacturer.
0:28:37 > 0:28:43So we have "George Austin, cabinet maker, 7 St Andrew Street."
0:28:43 > 0:28:50Look at the bottom here, it's quite intriguing, "Military canteens and plate chests."
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- Uh-huh.- So they supplied for the military.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Military boxes, tuck boxes, anything like that.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03- That is fascinating to have an original plate, that's very good. Up goes the value.- Good.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08So...the cabinet once belonging to Fanny,
0:29:08 > 0:29:13- is now going to find a new home. - It is.- What d'you think it's worth?
0:29:13 > 0:29:18I didn't realise all you were saying about the inlay, so I hadn't thought it was worth that much.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21I was thinking around £50 or something.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23The fact that it's a nice box.
0:29:23 > 0:29:28Because of its condition I would think we're looking at a price range, I would hope,
0:29:28 > 0:29:31around 125, 150.
0:29:31 > 0:29:37That sort of price range. We might put an auction estimate in that region, with a reserve of £100.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Right. That would be nice.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- It's been doing nothing.- It's been in the bottom of the wardrobe.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47- Sell it and do something with the money.- Yes, it's going.
0:29:54 > 0:30:00Malachy, thank you for bringing this lovely watercolour
0:30:00 > 0:30:02by Joseph William Carey along to Flog It today.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Not at all. Thank you for having me.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08I am just enjoying it so much.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12This work is very typical of this artist.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Gentle muted colours,
0:30:14 > 0:30:19expressing the softness, the beauty, of the Irish landscape.
0:30:19 > 0:30:24He was a member of the Royal Ulster Academy and he travelled about
0:30:24 > 0:30:29in Ireland a lot, to different places, painting the scenery.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34And this one is the Pass of Kylemore in Connemara.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Where did you get it?
0:30:36 > 0:30:38I bought it in an antique shop.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- How long ago? - Roughly about 40 years.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45Did you pay a lot of money for it at that time?
0:30:45 > 0:30:51- I never like to pay much for anything, so I don't think I would have.- You sound like a Scot!
0:30:51 > 0:30:56I can't remember offhand, but we didn't consider it expensive at the time.
0:30:56 > 0:31:01We fancied that view and bought it for that reason.
0:31:01 > 0:31:06So you'd obviously been on a trip to Connemara around that time.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09We had, and we'd been to the Pass of Kylemore
0:31:09 > 0:31:12and we just went into the antique shop and saw this.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14It was a great reminder of it then.
0:31:14 > 0:31:20- Was it your honeymoon?- No, it wasn't. I'm longer married than that.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25Yes, well I find it absolutely charming and the colours are wonderful.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Sweeping round these wonderful muted greens and browns,
0:31:29 > 0:31:33going into rusts here. Has it been on the wall?
0:31:33 > 0:31:38- Not since we moved about 10 years ago.- Malachy, I love pictures
0:31:38 > 0:31:45and I feel that if they're on the wall and you are enjoying them, you keep them.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47But to keep a picture
0:31:47 > 0:31:52in an attic or in a loft, for me, is the biggest sin of all.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55I think that's really what drew our attention to it.
0:31:55 > 0:32:00Now, on price, this artist is doing well at this point.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05I would like to estimate it in the region of £600 to £800.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07- Yes.- Would you be happy to sell it at that?
0:32:07 > 0:32:13- Well, I'd been hoping maybe you would say half-a-million or something like that!- Oh, well...
0:32:13 > 0:32:17I could have bought a couple of houses, but now it's only going to be window-box.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21I wish I could have said half a million as well.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25I really am surprised to find it's that price.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28You bought a good picture and it should give you a very good return.
0:32:28 > 0:32:34We'll put it to the auction, I'll be there and hopefully it will do very well.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36We'll protect it with a reserve of £600.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41- We'll feel happy with that.- Thank you again for bringing it along.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44It's been lovely having a wee blether with you. Thank you.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Family heirlooms, Pat. Why are you disposing of them?
0:32:51 > 0:32:57Because we don't demonstrate these any longer, putting them on our sideboards.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01I myself never used them, and they are going back at least five generations,
0:33:01 > 0:33:08and we were clearing out my loft because I am moving house, and decided we'd get rid of these.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12These were just in the loft, unused and unloved.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17- Well, possibly, yes.- Judging from the unpolished state.- Exactly.
0:33:17 > 0:33:22This is interesting because we've got a complete tea and coffee service.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27So teapot, sugar basin, milk/cream jug, and then the coffee pot.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29That's rather nice.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34You say you've had this in the family five generations and you work back a generation.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Is it 20 years a generation or 30?
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- 30.- 30 years. So that's 150 years.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43This was produced in 1847,
0:33:43 > 0:33:48hallmarked in Sheffield, and the maker was Wilkinson and Company.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50A good make.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54What I like about this is the sensible design.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57When I say sensible design, if you look here and here,
0:33:57 > 0:34:04and repeat it also on the teapot, these objects were intended to have hot water, so we've got ivory inserts
0:34:04 > 0:34:11which would act as insulators so the heat would not come through onto the silver and into the grip itself.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16So very sensible and these would have been used by the lady of the house, and the last thing she would want,
0:34:16 > 0:34:20- sitting at table serving her friends, was scolded hands.- Yes.
0:34:20 > 0:34:25I'm looking at the coffee pot and we've got a little split down here on the handle,
0:34:25 > 0:34:28and also we've got some wear.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Can you see, where it's completely worn through?
0:34:32 > 0:34:34That's echoed on all the pieces.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38If we go back 15, 20 years ago,
0:34:38 > 0:34:41the price on this would have been quite high.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45The market has fallen because people do not like having silver in their home.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48First of all the fear of burglary,
0:34:48 > 0:34:52secondly it's not fashionable. People go in for minimalist style
0:34:52 > 0:34:56- and they don't want things they have to clean.- That's correct.
0:34:56 > 0:35:02I think, taking that into account that it's not always in demand,
0:35:02 > 0:35:07we will be looking at something in the region of about £400 to £500, that price range.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12If it does more, I shall be delighted, but do bear in mind we've got damage on it.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15So we go ahead and put this up for auction?
0:35:15 > 0:35:20- Yes, please.- OK, we'll say £400 to £500, with discretion.- Right.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Thank you very much indeed.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26And now a quick reminder of what we are sending off to the sale room.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29The tip-top condition of Linda's inlaid sewing box, with its lovely
0:35:29 > 0:35:33green, watered silk interior, should catch the eye of someone.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37Next, the Irish watercolour, with its delicate view of Connemara.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42And we finish on the silver which has been in Patricia's family for well over 150 years.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46A sensible design. Let's hope it goes for a sensible price.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59Daniel, good to see you again. It's great to be back at Rossi's in Belfast.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Our experts have put £400 to £500 on this.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04There's a bit of discretion on the £400.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07It's Sheffield silver, dated 1847.
0:36:07 > 0:36:12It belongs to Patricia and she's had it in the family for 150 years.
0:36:12 > 0:36:17- A long time.- Well, what it has going for it is it is four pieces.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21I'd rather liked to have seen it more embossed than engraved.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Silver is difficult.
0:36:23 > 0:36:29- If it were Irish, I'd have no difficulty.- You'd be jumping up and down?- I'd be absolutely delighted.
0:36:29 > 0:36:34But Sheffield silver might make £400 on a good day.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36I would be more comfortable around 350.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41OK, we've got the discretion which takes it down to 350 so, fingers crossed.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- We have a chance of getting it away. - OK.
0:36:52 > 0:36:57Up for grabs right now, that lovely rosewood sewing box with the most beautiful inlay.
0:36:57 > 0:37:04Value £125 to £150. We've got the sewing box but unfortunately we don't have its owner, Linda.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08But we do have Mr David Barbie the expert, who put the valuation on it. I love this.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11If it goes within estimate, I think that's quite cheap.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14I think so as well. What I like is it's personalised.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18- It has the name of the original owner on the top, Fanny.- Lovely!
0:37:18 > 0:37:19- It's sweet.- It's a gorgeous box.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21I think it could do a lot more than that.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26Yes, just imagine the price it would realise if it had all the original fitments inside.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- The cotton reels, measures.- But the fitted interior is all there.
0:37:30 > 0:37:35- Yes. This is testing the market in Ireland. I think it'll be a very interesting exercise.- OK.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Lot number 221.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40A 19th century rosewood sewing box.
0:37:40 > 0:37:46A nice little box, sarcophagus shape, £100 please for the same box.
0:37:46 > 0:37:4950 anywhere? 50 I am bid. 60.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51At £60, a new bidder at £70.
0:37:51 > 0:37:5380, at 90.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56£100 just outside the door at £100.
0:37:56 > 0:38:0110, 110 against you sir. 120. 125.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- 125.- Good, good. We are there.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07130. At £130.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10At £130. Are you all out at 130?
0:38:10 > 0:38:13I am selling now at £130.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- The hammers gone down. Just in there.- Sold.- You were right.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19We certainly tested the market.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- Linda will be pleased with that, I'm positive.- Yes, she wanted 100 clear.
0:38:23 > 0:38:29- You get on the phone, give her a ring and say it sold for £130. - It will be a pleasure.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39Lots of interest now. We've got a gorgeous bit of Irish art - a watercolour.
0:38:39 > 0:38:45It's by Carey, and the value is £600 to £800 and it belongs to Malachy and not for much longer.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Anita, you're our expert. You loved this when you first saw it.
0:38:48 > 0:38:54It's a wonderful, evocative, gentle, sweet watercolour.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- Irish artist, Irish sale room. - How exciting is this?
0:38:57 > 0:39:02I've been waiting for this moment and this is it. Good luck.
0:39:02 > 0:39:03Joseph William Carey.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07House At Kylemore, Connemara, watercolour drawing.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10It's signed and dated, 1915.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15Shall we say 800, 700, 600? I'll take £500 to open the bid. 500.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18At the back of the room at 500. 520.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21550. At £550 for the Carey.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22At 550.
0:39:22 > 0:39:28At £550, are you all done at £550 for the Carey? At £550.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32It's worth more at 550. At 550. Any more?
0:39:32 > 0:39:35The bidder is outside at 580.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37£580 I have now for the Carey.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38At £580.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43- One more, one more! - At £580 for the Carey picture.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47Are you all finished at £580? I am letting it go.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49He's going to sell. He's going to sell.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Last call at £580.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Yes. We nearly did the £600, but we'll settle for £580.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59- You're happy with that? - Mmm...- Mmm...- Yes.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01I know, we all want a little bit more, don't we?
0:40:01 > 0:40:07Yep. As I said before, when I started, I was hoping for about half a million.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11- We weren't going there. - Make good telly that, wouldn't it?
0:40:11 > 0:40:15What will you do with £580, less a bit of commission?
0:40:15 > 0:40:20It's very hard to say, but I would imagine... I don't have a decision to make.
0:40:20 > 0:40:26My wife and four daughters are going Christmas shopping to some of these cities in Europe.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Oh, lovely. So weekend breaks away.
0:40:28 > 0:40:33- This will be a bit of spending money.- Yes. What a lovely dad. What a lovely dad!
0:40:33 > 0:40:36No, it's not voluntary. They're taking it!
0:40:42 > 0:40:45We are just about to flog Patricia's family silver.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49It's been in the family 150 years. Why do you want to part with it?
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Because it's too ostentatious for my small house.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56I've just moved into a smaller flat. I never had it on display at all.
0:40:56 > 0:41:02I always kept it up in the glory hole, so now I am bringing it out and getting the money for it.
0:41:02 > 0:41:03OK, and it is quite valuable.
0:41:03 > 0:41:08- We've got a reserve of £400.- Yes. - Hopefully we going to touch the £500 mark.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13- That would be good.- I had a chat with the auctioneer earlier. You don't know this, nor do you.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18But he agreed with the valuation, spot on, but he thinks it will just sell at the low end.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21We just need two bidders to push it slightly higher.
0:41:21 > 0:41:26A couple more bids and we've got mid estimate or top estimate. I think it will go for top estimate.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Sheffield silver, it's stamped and great quality.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33Lot 281. Four-piece silver tea service, Sheffield, 1847.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Shall we say £400. 300.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Say £200 please for the tea service.
0:41:39 > 0:41:44200 I am bid. 220. 250. 280.
0:41:44 > 0:41:45300. 320.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48350. 380.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50- We've sold it.- £400 on my right.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53At £400. 420. 450.
0:41:53 > 0:41:58At £450. 480. At £500.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00At 520. At 550.
0:42:00 > 0:42:06At 580. At £600. At 620.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08At 650.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11At £650.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12660. 670.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14At 670.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- Fantastic.- 680.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20At £680.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23It's right in front here at £680 for the tea service at 680.
0:42:23 > 0:42:28All done, all finished? At £680.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32Yes. £680. Wasn't that good?
0:42:32 > 0:42:36- What will the money go towards? - Um...da, da, da.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38That's the big question.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Just dividing it equally among the family.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44- How many members of the family will you divide that into?- About ten.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Ten? Brothers, sisters, nieces?
0:42:46 > 0:42:50- £60 each.- £60 each.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- They'll all have a good night out. - Yes, we'll do that.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04Well, it's all still going on but what a fantastic show we've had here today.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07I thoroughly enjoyed myself, I hope you have watching.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10All credit to our experts because it's not an exact science
0:43:10 > 0:43:13valuing antiques, and I think they got it right.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17So join me next time on Flog It when we put lots more theories to the test.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20And I can't wait to come back to Ireland.
