0:00:03 > 0:00:06We're in one of England's most rural counties

0:00:06 > 0:00:10for today's show, where less than half the population lives in a town.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12Welcome to Cumbria, welcome to Flog It.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52Now I know this really isn't the time of the year for daffodils,

0:00:52 > 0:00:57but it was here in the Lake District that William Wordsworth was inspired to write his famous poem.

0:00:57 > 0:01:03As he was walking along the shores of Ullswater, he encountered a host of golden daffodils.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Today we're in an equally inspiring place, Windermere.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09And here's some poetry in motion - our experts for today!

0:01:09 > 0:01:13Adam Partridge and James Lewis.

0:01:13 > 0:01:19So, let's get this massive queue inside, get the show on the road and see what our experts can unearth.

0:01:26 > 0:01:31Everybody's now happily seated inside. There's definitely an air of excitement and anticipation.

0:01:31 > 0:01:35Everybody wants to get picked to go through to the Flog It! auction.

0:01:35 > 0:01:40But it can only be the chosen few and it looks like Adam has already found something.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Hello, Philippa.- Hello, there. - Thank you for coming along.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45I believe you've got something very nice in his box.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48It's a wonderful job because you never know

0:01:48 > 0:01:52what's gonna come in and you never know what's in these little boxes.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Yeah.- I'm guessing buttons.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Can I open it?- Yes, do. Yes.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Absolutely lovely. Where did you get them from?

0:02:00 > 0:02:05I got them in the mid-1950s from, I think, an auction sale in Suffolk.

0:02:05 > 0:02:10- Right.- I haven't a clue what I paid for them.- Remembering that much was quite good.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13I can't remember where half of my things came from.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16- But I can assure you they only cost about £1, if that.- Right.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19- In those days.- Well...

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Otherwise I couldn't have afforded to buy them.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25- What attracted you to them? - I love silver.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Yep.- And they're absolutely sweet.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31They really are. And they're really up my street as well.

0:02:31 > 0:02:36I'm a real fan of the Art Nouveau movement and these there are very Art Nouveau,

0:02:36 > 0:02:42very stylised and if we just have a quick look at one of them, we've got nice clear hallmarks there.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44The Birmingham marks.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48The letter C makes it 1902 to 1903.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52Right in the period we'd expect to see this sort of design and the maker's mark

0:02:52 > 0:02:56of William Hutton and Sons of Birmingham, a very good maker.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59So they're lovely. Any idea what they might be worth now?

0:02:59 > 0:03:01I have no idea, no.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Can I ask you why you're selling them?

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Well, I've got another box of them.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10- I think I like the other ones better.- They must be very nice.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14But they are 1901, the other ones.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16A year older than these.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20Also Birmingham. And I just brought them along for curiosity's sake.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23We haven't talked to you into selling them.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25No, but I'd be quite happy to sell them.

0:03:25 > 0:03:29Good, good. Well I'd suggest an estimate of £70 to £100.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32And put a reserve of 70 with a bit of leeway,

0:03:32 > 0:03:35so if they got to 65 we could let them go, but not less than that.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Yes.- Is that all right with you? - Yes, I think so.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Hopefully they should make that.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42It's just over £15 a piece and they've got to be worth that

0:03:42 > 0:03:45and you have the set in the box and everything.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47I know it's quite good to have them in the box.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51- It's very nice to have them in the box.- Cos so often one has the things without the box.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Have you ever worn these buttons yourself?

0:03:54 > 0:03:58Well, I used to make all my own clothes years ago and I think I did use these.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01Well, that must have looked wonderful.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03- I like to be different. - Yes. It's the best way to be.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06This is a nice sort of thing that we want to see more of.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09It's so nice to talk to someone who appreciates them.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Thank you very much.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18Stephen, I have to say, we've all seen Whitefriars on Flog It before

0:04:18 > 0:04:22and it's an old Flog It favourite, really.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25But I didn't pick this because of what it is,

0:04:25 > 0:04:28I picked it from where you got it from. Tell us the story.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32I was working for a skip firm and I found it in a skip

0:04:32 > 0:04:34and it was covered in soil.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37- That's just incredible. How many years ago?- Two years ago.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40So two years ago this was in a skip ready to be tipped?

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Yeah.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44People are crazy, aren't they?

0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Did you know what it was? - No, I didn't know what it was.

0:04:47 > 0:04:54I just took it home and cleaned it up and didn't know what it was until my mum saw it on Flog It.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Obviously you've got a good eye.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00You must see loads of interesting things.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04Where I work in Derby we've actually got a skip hire place next door to us.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07The guys are always coming in saying,

0:05:07 > 0:05:10found this and that, some of it's really quite good.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14We found a trophy cup in a skip that was made, presented,

0:05:14 > 0:05:17for Derby County Football Club in 1897. Solid silver!

0:05:17 > 0:05:21You wouldn't believe what you find in these things.

0:05:21 > 0:05:26But this is, it's Whitefriars, it's 1960s, late '60s,

0:05:26 > 0:05:31it's known as the Banjo Vase and it was designed by Geoffrey Baxter.

0:05:31 > 0:05:36Geoffrey Baxter joined Whitefriars in 1954 as a modeller and a moulder,

0:05:36 > 0:05:41but he then became a designer and he was inspired by natural forms, the first vase

0:05:41 > 0:05:47that he designed was known as the Bark Vase, inspired by textures that he found in his own garden.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51He also designed what's known as the Drunken Bricklayer Vase, one of the most famous.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54This, again, everybody knows the Banjo Vase.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57It's a good colour, known as kingfisher blue.

0:05:57 > 0:05:58What do you think it's worth?

0:05:58 > 0:06:00I was guessing about 600.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Yeah. It's gonna be around there.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05I think to put an estimate of 600 on it would be a bit strong.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09I think if we put 400 to 600 on it,

0:06:09 > 0:06:10let the auctioneer have some freedom,

0:06:10 > 0:06:13get all that interest in at the beginning,

0:06:13 > 0:06:16I think it'll do really well. Great time to sell it.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20We're talking about something that's only 30 to 40 years old

0:06:20 > 0:06:22and it's already making the hundreds.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Things always have a peak.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27I've got a feeling we're at the peak now with this.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29You've picked the right time.

0:06:29 > 0:06:33Well, the money will come in handy cos I'm just furnishing a new house.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Where are you gonna buy your furniture from?

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Er, I don't know!

0:06:37 > 0:06:38Go to the auction rooms!

0:06:38 > 0:06:42It's so cheap to buy furniture at the moment, please don't buy new.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46I'll twist your arm and see if I can persuade you to buy something!

0:06:46 > 0:06:48But this is a good thing

0:06:48 > 0:06:52and it'll do well and I can almost guarantee it'll sell.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Welcome to Flog It.- Thank you. - I was very pleased to be asked to do

0:07:02 > 0:07:08the one in the Lakes because I'm a big fan of Keswick School metalware.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11The Keswick School of Industrial Art. I was hoping I'd see some.

0:07:11 > 0:07:16- Yes, well. Yeah. - So when I saw you with this wonderful big tray I had to pounce.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Yes.- I must say, it's a very striking tray.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21What can you tell me about it?

0:07:21 > 0:07:26My grandparents were housekeeper and gardener for Mr Oddie,

0:07:26 > 0:07:30who was an artist that lived at Lyzzick Hall near Bassenthwaite,

0:07:30 > 0:07:33and they acquired it.

0:07:33 > 0:07:38It is my daughter's, actually, because I don't like cleaning brass.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42No, well a lot of people are like that and a lot of your traditional brass,

0:07:42 > 0:07:46like copper kettles and pans, don't sell as well as they used to.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49- But the arts and crafts metalware is selling extremely well.- Yeah.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53That's Mr Oddie's initials there, isn't it?

0:07:53 > 0:07:56He was one of the artists at the Keswick School of Industrial Art.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00- That's correct, yeah. - We haven't yet been able to identify these initials.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02- No, we haven't.- JCM.- No.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06But I must say that this style of tray is very much the style made by

0:08:06 > 0:08:08the Keswick School. It's not marked for that.

0:08:08 > 0:08:15But it clearly is and these swirling designs are very much a William Morris influence.

0:08:15 > 0:08:20I believe he used to send designs to the Keswick School of Industrial Art, so it's a fascinating thing.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23- It is. - But it's a bit battered, isn't it?

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- It's been off the wall twice. - It fell off?

0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Yes, it nearly crowned my son-in-law.- It nearly did what?

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Crowned him. It nearly hit him.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33Yes. So my daughter thought she'd better get rid of it.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35So it's a bad omen?

0:08:35 > 0:08:37But what's an antique without a few dents?

0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Yeah.- So, it's a nice thing.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Any idea what it's worth?

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Maybe a couple of hundred?

0:08:43 > 0:08:47That's a decent guess. The best place really to sell is really in the area from which it's from.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51There are going to be a lot of collectors around for this type of thing.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54There will probably be other things of the Keswick School in the sale.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57I wondered if that had anything to do with it?

0:08:57 > 0:08:59This is clearly a similar thing.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02In fact, there's a monogram there, JCM.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05And there's JCM there, so they're certainly linked.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09You can tell there's a hand-beaten, hand-decorative element to that.

0:09:09 > 0:09:15We could put that in with it together and I think the estimate could be 250 to 450.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19- It's a wide estimate, but I think that's fairly low to encourage some bidding.- Mm-hm.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22And a reserve of 250, cos it shouldn't go for any less.

0:09:22 > 0:09:26- No.- And hopefully, fingers crossed, £500 plus.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Well, we hope so.- You hope so.

0:09:28 > 0:09:32Well, we'll soon see if Adam's right as we're off to the auction.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35Philippa once used her Art Nouveau buttons on her own clothes!

0:09:35 > 0:09:38And Adam's sure another collector will snap them up.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41What a find! Stephen rescued this Whitefriars vase from a skip

0:09:41 > 0:09:44and is hoping to turn a tidy profit.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48And finally, Adam was pleased to see some Keswick Industrial School.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51And Beverly's hoping her brass tray has got what it takes.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03And this is where our experts' valuations are put to the test.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06We're with Penrith Farmers' to see all our lots go under the hammer.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10And the man wielding the gavel today is Alan Atkinson.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Something of local interest here. - Absolutely.

0:10:15 > 0:10:20It's bold and it's brassy, but Keswick School is bold and coppery.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24Adam's put a valuation of 250 to £450 on this.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26- There's a lot of damage.- Yes.

0:10:26 > 0:10:30This would have been made at the Keswick School at the night school.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33It actually hasn't got the KSIA stamp on it.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37Originally a lot of people who went to the night school got

0:10:37 > 0:10:41the KSIA stamp put on and then they were then selling it for more money

0:10:41 > 0:10:44than they were at the Keswick School.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47This was done by a chap called JW Oddie

0:10:47 > 0:10:50and he designed for the school at some stage.

0:10:50 > 0:10:55- The unfortunate thing is, yes, you're right, Paul, it's brass and its condition.- Yeah.

0:10:55 > 0:11:00We'll not stand a lot of chance of selling that at 250, in my opinion.

0:11:00 > 0:11:06I can't see a lot of Keswick collectors buying this to put in amongst their collection.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09No, copper is the most popular one.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11A lot of it is to do with the damage on it.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13That's where we'll probably fall down.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15We've got discretion on the 250.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18- I don't think that will make a scrap of difference.- Don't you?- No.

0:11:18 > 0:11:24If this came into the saleroom tomorrow. If somebody brought this in and said, "Alan, value this."

0:11:24 > 0:11:27I would be talking of about 80 to £100.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Right, as little as that? - Yeah, absolutely.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32I hope you're wrong!

0:11:32 > 0:11:35- For Beverly's sake. - Absolutely, yeah.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43How about this for a fantastic story.

0:11:43 > 0:11:47We've all heard about Geoffrey Baxter and Whitefriars,

0:11:47 > 0:11:51but Steven here found the classic 1960s banjo vase in a skip.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54What were you doing foraging around in a skip?

0:11:54 > 0:11:56I was working there at the time.

0:11:56 > 0:12:01It was tipped out of the skip in a pile of soil.

0:12:01 > 0:12:05You raced to pick it up and you saw that Kingfisher blue and you thought,

0:12:05 > 0:12:08"What is this? Is it a doorstop?" They are so heavy.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10That's the virtue of Whitefriars.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14It survived being in a skip because of its sheer solidness, its weight.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18- I didn't realise what it was. - You didn't know what it was. You brought it along.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21You met James here, and he put £400 to £600 on it.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Hopefully, it'll do more than that.

0:12:23 > 0:12:27We've seen them do £600 to £800 depending on the right colour-way.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30It did come in 12 different colours.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Let's hope it gets the top end plus a lot more. This is it, Steven.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36The Whitefriars banjo-designed vase.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38A rather nice one there.

0:12:38 > 0:12:43I've £300 bid. 320, 350, 380, 400.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46- £400 bid. At 400. £400 and 20.- Yes.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49- 450, 480... - A late bidder there, fresh legs.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53£480 bid. 500, 550.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57- We've got a telephone bidder. - 550, it's against the lady now.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01£550 bid. At 550, I'm selling.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03- Quickly...- The tension's building.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07- Someone can't make up their mind.- Come on.- 550?

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Tell them to hurry up!

0:13:10 > 0:13:12- 550, against you. - 550 against you.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17550 on my right now. I'm going to sell it at 550.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Yeah, the hammer's gone down.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23£550. You were right, James, top end.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25What are you gonna do with that?

0:13:25 > 0:13:27It could buy me a fridge freezer.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30- You've just bought a new house, haven't you?- Yeah.

0:13:30 > 0:13:31So it does haemorrhage money.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34You've got your foot on the property ladder.

0:13:34 > 0:13:39- That's the best thing to do. It's better than renting. Congratulations.- Thank you.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46Now for something with a great deal of local interest,

0:13:46 > 0:13:49from the Keswick school, belonging to Beverly.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- It's your daughter's, isn't it? - It is my daughter's, yes.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54Just remind us the story of the damage.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58You can't help but laugh, but it is quite dangerous, isn't it?

0:13:58 > 0:14:05Yes, she had it fixed on the staircase wall and it fell down and it nearly crowned her husband.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08- So we thought we'd better get rid of it.- Time to get rid!

0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Hence the dents in it.- Yeah.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13We've got a valuation of £250 to £450.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15I had a chat to the auctioneer earlier.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18I've got a feeling I know what you're gonna say.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21Yes, he said the damage is holding it back.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24He said the other thing that will hold it back...

0:14:24 > 0:14:30He said all the Keswick school collectors love their copper - their burnished copper - not brass.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Can I just say something?

0:14:32 > 0:14:34- Yes, go on, you must.- I had a feeling you were gonna say that.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38Beverly was influenced by a previous valuation they had.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Yes.- From a Flog It! member at 400 to 600.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43It was a struggle to say less.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45So you were trying to beat Beverly down a bit?

0:14:45 > 0:14:49- You got her down to 250.- Yes, I still think that's over-ambitious.

0:14:49 > 0:14:54The unmarked Keswick school box tray and the little circular dish.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56I've £100 bid.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59£100, the lot. At 100. 100 bid.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02£100 bid. At £100, the lot. At 100.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04100. £100 the lot.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07At 100. No, I'm sorry. Not sold.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10- I'm sorry, Adam.- We wanted to put something of local interest in.

0:15:10 > 0:15:15- That's what it's all about. - Beverly's been to Flog It! before, so it was about time she had a go...

0:15:15 > 0:15:18- but just don't put it on that wall, will you?- No.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21It is a part of the Lake District's social history.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24You've got a nice item there. Maybe it's worth hanging onto.

0:15:24 > 0:15:25Well, perhaps, yes.

0:15:25 > 0:15:31- There are children, and it can be handed down from us.- Yeah, exactly.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35Now, let's see if Philippa has better luck.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39We're just about to sell your six silver buttons.

0:15:39 > 0:15:43You bought these in auction in Suffolk, what, in the 1960s?

0:15:43 > 0:15:48- Early '60s.- You've obviously made your own garments and you've used the buttons.- Yes.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50They mean a lot to you. They are lovely.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53They're the Art Nouveau silver style.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56Beautiful. We've got a valuation of £70 to £100.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58- Yes.- How much did you pay for them?

0:15:58 > 0:16:00- About £1, I think. - That's a very good buy, Adam.

0:16:00 > 0:16:06Possibly at a time when Art Nouveau wasn't rated as highly as it is now. They're really lovely.

0:16:06 > 0:16:07Gorgeous, aren't they?

0:16:07 > 0:16:11Let's hope we find somebody that falls in love with them like you did.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13- I hope so.- And actually uses them.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16- That's the point, isn't it? - That's the most important thing.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Yes.- Good luck. It's going under the hammer now.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22A very nice set of six Art Nouveau buttons there.

0:16:22 > 0:16:27I've £80 bid. At 80, 90. £90 the lot. 90, 100.

0:16:27 > 0:16:31100 bid. £100 bid. 110, 115.

0:16:31 > 0:16:35- It's money. 120.- That's good.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38£120... 125. 130, 140.

0:16:38 > 0:16:42- This is good.- 140, 150.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44160.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47This chap's very keen. He's waving his arm a lot.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50£160. I'm selling, then at £160.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54The hammer's going down. Yes, that's a sold sound. £160.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56- I wonder who got them? - That chap there did.

0:16:56 > 0:17:00I think he's a private collector, so it's nice to know they're not...

0:17:00 > 0:17:04- I've got another set at home. - Oh, are you gonna flog those later?

0:17:04 > 0:17:07- No, I don't think so. - You're not making them, are you?

0:17:12 > 0:17:16The Lake District is home to some of the most spectacular scenery

0:17:16 > 0:17:18to be found anywhere.

0:17:18 > 0:17:22But for centuries, people didn't really see the beauty in the region.

0:17:22 > 0:17:27Instead, they considered its peaks and crags wild, savage and terrifying.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32All that began to change in the middle of the 18th century

0:17:32 > 0:17:36when observers looked at the region with new eyes.

0:17:36 > 0:17:41In 1752, a local clergyman called Dr John Brown described the landscape

0:17:41 > 0:17:46in terms of its beauty, its horror and its immensity.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Brown was just one of many who came to understand

0:17:55 > 0:17:59the power, the majesty of the Lakes here, its immense beauty.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02Another was a young, local lad.

0:18:02 > 0:18:08One moonlit night, he stole a little boat and rowed it out into the middle of the lake.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10A rocky edge caught his eye.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12It seemed to come alive to him.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14As the young lad was rowing away from it,

0:18:14 > 0:18:17the rocky edge was getting nearer as if it was chasing him.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19That young lad was William Wordsworth

0:18:19 > 0:18:23and he later described this frightening night-time adventure

0:18:23 > 0:18:29when the power of nature seemed paramount as an experience which forged his destiny as a poet.

0:18:29 > 0:18:35Wordsworth was a member of what became known as the English Romantic movement in the arts.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37He, and his fellow poets and painters,

0:18:37 > 0:18:42found inspiration in the power of nature in all its awesome glory.

0:18:42 > 0:18:47The romantics moved away from the structural, intellectual approach of the 18th century -

0:18:47 > 0:18:51which is sometimes known now as the Age of Reason, or the Enlightenment -

0:18:51 > 0:18:57towards ways of looking at the world which recognised the importance of the imagination and the emotions.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03The epic themes of poems by their fore-runners

0:19:03 > 0:19:07such as John Milton's Paradise Lost were rejected by the Romantics.

0:19:07 > 0:19:12They felt that poetry should be inspired by just ordinary events.

0:19:18 > 0:19:23In fact, one of Wordsworth's most famous poems was inspired by a common-or-garden plant.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26It grows in abundance during the spring.

0:19:26 > 0:19:31I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high o'er vales and hills

0:19:31 > 0:19:34When all at once, I saw a crowd a host of golden daffodils

0:19:34 > 0:19:40Beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze

0:19:40 > 0:19:45Continuous as the stars that shine and twinkle on the Milky Way

0:19:45 > 0:19:49They stretched in never-ending line, along the margin of a bay

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Ten thousand saw I at a glance

0:19:52 > 0:19:56Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59Critics hated the poem. They couldn't believe Wordsworth

0:19:59 > 0:20:02squandered his supreme skills on something as paltry as a daffodil.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04But that was the whole point of it.

0:20:04 > 0:20:10As a romantic poet, Wordsworth found beauty and inspiration

0:20:10 > 0:20:13in the world that surrounded him.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15And then my heart with pleasure fills

0:20:15 > 0:20:17And dances with the daffodils.

0:20:20 > 0:20:25Another major theme of the romantic poets was the impact of social change on people's lives.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28Many thought this was just too idealistic.

0:20:28 > 0:20:29On one hand, you get rural life

0:20:29 > 0:20:32which is revered as pure and idyllic.

0:20:32 > 0:20:33On the other hand, city life,

0:20:33 > 0:20:36which is just full of sleaze and corruption.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40Wordsworth wrote about this in one of his poems called Michael,

0:20:40 > 0:20:42in which he writes about an old shepherd

0:20:42 > 0:20:46who found happiness in his work tied to the land.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Upon the forest-side in Grasmere Vale

0:20:48 > 0:20:51There dwelt a shepherd, Michael was his name

0:20:51 > 0:20:55An old man stout of heart and strong of limb

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Those fields, those hills

0:20:58 > 0:21:02How could they less had laid strong hold on his affections?

0:21:02 > 0:21:05Were to him a pleasurable feeling of blind love

0:21:05 > 0:21:09The pleasure which there is in life itself.

0:21:13 > 0:21:19But family debts forced Michael's only son, Luke, to go to the big city in search of work.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25Meantime, Luke began to slacken in his duty

0:21:25 > 0:21:32And at length, he in the dissolute city gave himself to evil courses

0:21:32 > 0:21:35Ignominy and shame fell on him.

0:21:38 > 0:21:43Place and family were central to Wordsworth, both in his poetry and in his own life.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46He spent his happiest years here at Rydal Mount

0:21:46 > 0:21:49with his wife and children, his sister and his sister-in-law.

0:21:49 > 0:21:54The marvellous thing is, his descendants today still refer to this place as home.

0:22:09 > 0:22:14A servant once said to a visitor, "This is my master's library where he keeps all his books."

0:22:14 > 0:22:18His study, well that's out of doors, and to this day,

0:22:18 > 0:22:21visitors come in their droves to Rydal Mount

0:22:21 > 0:22:24to pay tribute to one of English literature's greatest sons.

0:22:30 > 0:22:35It's back to the valuation day, and here's James in all his awesome glory.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37This is a lovely little vase.

0:22:37 > 0:22:41Tell me, is it something that's been in the family for a long time

0:22:41 > 0:22:42or a recent acquisition?

0:22:42 > 0:22:44No, I've had it about 30 years.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46There was a brother and sister I used to work for

0:22:46 > 0:22:51- and when he died, his sister gave it to me.- Ah!

0:22:51 > 0:22:53So, I've had it all that time, really.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55- Not a bad gift, really. - No, it wasn't!

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Do you know about the factory? Do you know who it was by?

0:22:58 > 0:23:03Not a great lot, no. I thought it was something to do with Moorcroft.

0:23:03 > 0:23:09If we turn it over, it's marked here, "Macintyre, Burslem, England."

0:23:09 > 0:23:13People associate Macintyre with Moorcroft for a very good reason.

0:23:13 > 0:23:17- Moorcroft started his career at Macintyre's as a designer.- Right.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21He finished around 1905, 1910.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23Obviously, everybody knows Moorcroft.

0:23:23 > 0:23:29One of the most famous designers, now one of the most famous ceramic factories of all times.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31This is where it all began.

0:23:31 > 0:23:36This is a little bit earlier. The Macintyre mark...

0:23:36 > 0:23:39Yes, this is the period that Moorcroft was working there.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42- But Moorcroft is best known for his Florian wares at Macintyre.- Yes.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44This isn't one of the Florian wares.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47But you can see where it takes its influence from,

0:23:47 > 0:23:52you can see where all these styles eventually evolve

0:23:52 > 0:23:57- into what is now known as Moorcroft in the most fantastic styles.- Yes.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59- Look at this under-glazed blue. - Yeah.

0:23:59 > 0:24:04- These are meant to be stylised flower heads that run all the way round the rim.- Yes.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07If we tilt it slightly, very much in the Art Nouveau style.

0:24:07 > 0:24:11You've got this great big poppy head, here.

0:24:11 > 0:24:15We see these stylised leaves.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18The combination of the blue and the gilt is wonderful.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21- It really does work. - It has stayed really nice.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24It has, we've got a little bit of wear along the top.

0:24:24 > 0:24:29But it's not a lot. This is just over 100 years old.

0:24:29 > 0:24:34- It dates to about 1895-1905, around that sort of date.- Very good.

0:24:34 > 0:24:38When it comes to value, you've got to weigh up a few things really.

0:24:38 > 0:24:44- It's not by Moorcroft, but it inspired his early decorations.- Yes.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47- So, what do you think it's worth? - Possibly about 80-100?

0:24:47 > 0:24:49Something like that.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53You'd like to actually have that on it as an estimate.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56But being realistic about it,

0:24:56 > 0:24:58it's going to make more than that.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02I think if we put £200-£300, that's realistic.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04It might even make top end. But we'll see.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07But I think £200-£300, let's see how we go.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10- Happy with that? - I'm more than happy.- Fantastic.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18I'm not known for doing jewellery on this programme.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20But I was very taken by your brooches.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23Don't be worried - I have had advice on them as well.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25How have you accumulated these?

0:25:25 > 0:25:31Mostly from auction sales in groups of jewellery over many, many years.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33Right, do you go to a lot of auctions?

0:25:33 > 0:25:35Quite a lot.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37Not so many nowadays.

0:25:37 > 0:25:41You've got some lovely examples here.

0:25:41 > 0:25:45This one, Scottish, Celtic design, isn't it, really?

0:25:45 > 0:25:48With the agates and hard stones mounted on it.

0:25:48 > 0:25:53Probably dates to about 1870-1880, late 19th-century.

0:25:53 > 0:25:57You've got another gold one with a large citrine there.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00Citrines aren't as commercial perhaps,

0:26:00 > 0:26:03so this one is probably your most valuable one.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06But I'd suggest we sold them as a group lot.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08- This one's lovely, too. - It is, yes.

0:26:08 > 0:26:12Really fine workmanship. Again, with all these agates set in there.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14- But really lovely. - Yes, it is nice.

0:26:14 > 0:26:19All of these are 1870s-1880s, late 19th century.

0:26:19 > 0:26:23Then this one is maybe the poor man of the group,

0:26:23 > 0:26:25because you've lost one of the bosses there.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Do you know what that coat of arms is there?

0:26:27 > 0:26:31I'm told it may be Jersey, but I haven't been able to confirm that.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33Do you remember how much any of them cost you?

0:26:33 > 0:26:35No, I haven't a clue. No idea.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38- Really?- No.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40Well, if we're selling them as a group,

0:26:40 > 0:26:42I would estimate £200-£300 on it.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44- Yes, that's fine.- Is that all right?

0:26:44 > 0:26:46- Does that represent a profit?- Yes.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Oh, good. Well, that's the main thing.

0:26:48 > 0:26:52A reserve price just slightly below I think as usual, maybe 180.

0:26:52 > 0:26:53- Would that be OK?- Fine.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56If they're not worth that... That one's worth 100 on its own really.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Absolutely.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01Those have got to be 40 each at least.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03So that's 180 and that one...

0:27:03 > 0:27:06So hopefully, they'll make £200-£300.

0:27:06 > 0:27:07That's good news.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09So hopefully they'll go really well

0:27:09 > 0:27:12- and we'll have a great day at the auction.- Yes, lovely.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20Len, we've seen these on the show before.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Knitting shoes.- That's right.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25Does this belong to the family?

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Yes, it belonged to my grandma and then after her day, I got it.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Did you watch her knit with that? - I did, yes. I remember...

0:27:31 > 0:27:34- Did she tuck it under this arm or this one?- Under her left arm.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Wrong way round. - I don't know which way...

0:27:37 > 0:27:39That went under the arm, like that.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41You clutched it in there and knit away.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44The third needle would go in there -

0:27:44 > 0:27:46you could knit a sleeve or a sock quite easily.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48- She used to knit all the family socks.- I bet.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50Do you know, it's lovely.

0:27:50 > 0:27:55It's a bit of fruit wood and that dates from around 1810-1920 or 30.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58It's been well used. Very naive turned handle.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01Little ring turnings, look at that.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05It's beautiful. I would cherish that.

0:28:05 > 0:28:06If you put that into auction,

0:28:06 > 0:28:09it will have a value of around £100-£150.

0:28:09 > 0:28:13Not worth selling really, is it? That's part of your family history.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16There are still professional knitters in the Shetlands

0:28:16 > 0:28:17that use those sheaths though

0:28:17 > 0:28:20and they can knit half a dozen jumpers a week,

0:28:20 > 0:28:21the big Aran sweaters.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24That's the great thing, those traditional skills and methods

0:28:24 > 0:28:26are still being passed on today.

0:28:26 > 0:28:30That's the most important thing. So thanks so much for bringing that in.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39James, what is a Royal Worcester mountie

0:28:39 > 0:28:41doing in the middle of the Lake District?

0:28:41 > 0:28:44We had a business and we used to sell them.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46So porcelain retail or antiques?

0:28:46 > 0:28:48Retail, retail.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51That's a new one.

0:28:51 > 0:28:55We were agents for the Royal Worcester factory.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57So if you were retailing this sort of thing,

0:28:57 > 0:29:02- when were you in business doing this?- About 1956-1980.

0:29:02 > 0:29:041956-1980.

0:29:04 > 0:29:07So this would have been new. Do you know who it was by?

0:29:07 > 0:29:10Do you know about the modeller and the factory?

0:29:10 > 0:29:13We were the Royal Worcester agents, so it's Royal Worcester

0:29:13 > 0:29:18and I believe it was for the centenary or bicentenary,

0:29:18 > 0:29:20I can't be dead certain.

0:29:20 > 0:29:25When we sold the business, we decided to buy some stuff in and we bought this.

0:29:25 > 0:29:28Well, you couldn't have bought a better thing.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30It's fantastic in quality.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33On Flog It we talk about things that are antiques,

0:29:33 > 0:29:35but also collectables.

0:29:35 > 0:29:37It's not a true antique because it's not that old.

0:29:37 > 0:29:39It was made in 1965.

0:29:39 > 0:29:42It was made by the Royal Worcester factory.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45The important part is that it was by Doris Lindner.

0:29:45 > 0:29:48She was one of the most famous animal sculptors

0:29:48 > 0:29:50of the 20th century really.

0:29:50 > 0:29:54She started her time doing little sculptures of animals

0:29:54 > 0:29:55in Art Deco style

0:29:55 > 0:29:58and she worked mainly as an independent

0:29:58 > 0:30:01but retailed through Heals in London.

0:30:01 > 0:30:04That was where she was discovered by the Royal Worcester factory.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07They saw her models in Heals and said,

0:30:07 > 0:30:10"We'd like a bit of that, we'd like her to work for us."

0:30:10 > 0:30:13She ended up being a full-time modeller for Royal Worcester

0:30:13 > 0:30:16and this was the most famous of all her models.

0:30:16 > 0:30:17This was modelled in 1965.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19It was a limited edition of 500

0:30:19 > 0:30:22and today, they are very, very sought-after.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25The good thing is, you have its original plinth

0:30:25 > 0:30:26and you have its certificate.

0:30:26 > 0:30:29So, we know it's Worcester, we know who it's by,

0:30:29 > 0:30:32we know its age, but we don't know its value.

0:30:32 > 0:30:33What do you think?

0:30:33 > 0:30:36I really have no idea. That is why I am here today.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39In the 1960s, what would you have retailed this at?

0:30:39 > 0:30:44I think about £80 as far as I can remember, I can't really be certain.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46- A lot of money in those days. - Well, it was.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48That's why you didn't sell an awful lot.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51I suppose so. It's gone up.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54- It's about four to £600 today. - Really?

0:30:54 > 0:30:57- Not at all bad, not at all bad.- No.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59If we put an estimate of £400-£600 on it,

0:30:59 > 0:31:03we need to protect it with a reserve, let's say £380.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06If it doesn't sell for that, then you can have it back.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09But you've had it 40 years, why sell it?

0:31:09 > 0:31:13We had no children, so turn it into money

0:31:13 > 0:31:16and then it can be shared out amongst the nieces.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19My wife died of motor neurone disease

0:31:19 > 0:31:24and she asked that they were included in the wills.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27- That's what I have done. - We will do our best for you.

0:31:31 > 0:31:35June acquired her Macintyre vase from people she used to work for,

0:31:35 > 0:31:39but there is no-one for her to pass it on to.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42Neither of Margaret's sons are interested in her brooches,

0:31:42 > 0:31:45but Adam is pinning his hopes on a good sale.

0:31:45 > 0:31:48Finally, what a splendid example of Royal Worcester.

0:31:48 > 0:31:51James has had his mountie since the 1960s,

0:31:51 > 0:31:54but he's decided it's time for it to go to another home.

0:31:57 > 0:32:01Coming up next, it's June's Macintyre vase.

0:32:01 > 0:32:04This is quality. A great name.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07I think this will do rather well.

0:32:07 > 0:32:09This was given to you.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12- Yes, it was.- Did you use to clean somebody's house.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15Yes, for a brother and sister and when the brother died,

0:32:15 > 0:32:19his sister went into his room, brought it out and gave it me.

0:32:19 > 0:32:23Macintyre, a great name, you cannot go wrong with that sort of name.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25- This is gonna sell. - It's gonna sell.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27It should do above top end. It really should.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29Stick your neck out, James.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32- No, don't. - This is a double whammy evaluation.

0:32:32 > 0:32:34I know I keep doing it - it's not fair.

0:32:34 > 0:32:37But the room's buzzing. People are here buying.

0:32:37 > 0:32:39They're not sitting on their hands.

0:32:39 > 0:32:42We're gonna find out what it's worth right now. Good luck.

0:32:42 > 0:32:44And the Macintyre two-handled vase.

0:32:44 > 0:32:47Rather nice one. I have £100 bid.

0:32:47 > 0:32:51£100, 110, 120. At £120 bid.

0:32:51 > 0:32:56130, 140, 140. Against you. 150.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59160, 170, 180.

0:32:59 > 0:33:03£180 bid, at £180.

0:33:03 > 0:33:07£180 I'm selling then. All done at £180.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11- Just in.- Just in.

0:33:11 > 0:33:14- Ooh!- We got rid of it though, that's the main thing. It's sold.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17- We're not taking it home. - You're not taking it home.- No.

0:33:17 > 0:33:21- What are you gonna do with the money?- Spend it on June.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24- Spend it on June.- Why not?

0:33:24 > 0:33:26What is June gonna have?

0:33:26 > 0:33:31First thing, I'd like to treat myself to a new mobile camera, mobile phone.

0:33:31 > 0:33:32One with a camera.

0:33:32 > 0:33:35One with a camera. Very handy.

0:33:35 > 0:33:39Good luck with that. Good luck with the photography skills as well.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42I'll have classes for that.

0:33:47 > 0:33:51Right now we're pinning all our hopes on Margaret's four brooches.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53- £200-£300.- Hopefully.

0:33:53 > 0:33:57Were you happy with our expert's valuation, Adam here?

0:33:57 > 0:33:59- I think so. - I think he is spot-on actually.

0:33:59 > 0:34:03- Do you?- I really do, yes. Why have you decided to sell them?

0:34:03 > 0:34:07Just decluttering. I don't wear them and they might as well go.

0:34:07 > 0:34:09- You did wear them though, didn't you?- Yes, sometimes.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12I guess they're just not fashionable now.

0:34:12 > 0:34:15Good luck, we'll get that top end. Adam, will we get it?

0:34:15 > 0:34:17I think so.

0:34:17 > 0:34:19As you know, jewellery is not my strong point,

0:34:19 > 0:34:20so I did take advice

0:34:20 > 0:34:23and I'm fairly comfortable with the advice I was given.

0:34:23 > 0:34:27They were very nice looking things and it doesn't seem a lot.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29Not for four brooches.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31Good luck both of you, this is it.

0:34:31 > 0:34:35The brooches, all of them, rather nice citrine set there. Various bids.

0:34:35 > 0:34:40I have £300 bid. 320, 350, £350 bid.

0:34:40 > 0:34:43£350 the lot. At 350.

0:34:43 > 0:34:45Who said brooches weren't fashionable?

0:34:45 > 0:34:48I'm selling now, you are done at £350.

0:34:48 > 0:34:53The hammer has gone down, Margaret. That is fantastic. £350.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55What are you gonna put the money towards?

0:34:55 > 0:34:59Half of it is going to the North West Air Ambulance.

0:34:59 > 0:35:03- That is a good cause.- And half of it to the younger members of the family.

0:35:03 > 0:35:07- OK. And treat yourself won't you? - I might do that.

0:35:07 > 0:35:11Have you enjoyed this? You've bought all the brooches at auction before.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13- This is not your first auction.- No.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16- Are you going to be selling any more things at auction?- Probably.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19I don't blame you. Thanks a lot.

0:35:24 > 0:35:28James has just enlightened me, he's going to be 91 soon

0:35:28 > 0:35:30and I've got to say you look fantastic for your age.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33We're selling a bit of Royal Worcester,

0:35:33 > 0:35:35which you've had for how many years?

0:35:35 > 0:35:37I would say 40 years.

0:35:37 > 0:35:41We had a china shop and I bought it out when we sold the china shop.

0:35:41 > 0:35:44The condition is fantastic. You've looked after it.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47It hasn't been out of the case, that's the thing.

0:35:47 > 0:35:53It's just tucked away in a showcase. Someone else might appreciate it.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56Why have you decided to sell it now?

0:35:56 > 0:35:59My niece, Glenda, talked me into it.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02Did she say, "Go on, get on Flog It"?

0:36:02 > 0:36:05She wanted to get on to Flog It and meet you all.

0:36:05 > 0:36:08Are you gonna spend the money on her? Nieces and nephews?

0:36:08 > 0:36:11- It will be a meal.- OK.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13Were you surprised with the evaluation?

0:36:13 > 0:36:16Have you kept track of what they're making over the years?

0:36:16 > 0:36:17Never taken any interest.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20We've got £400-£600 on this

0:36:20 > 0:36:23and I had a chat to the auctioneer a little earlier

0:36:23 > 0:36:24and we both agreed it is stunning.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27The modelling is fantastic. I think we'll do the top end.

0:36:27 > 0:36:31- I think we should, I hope so. - Good luck, both Jameses.- Thank you.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33It's going under the hammer now.

0:36:33 > 0:36:36The Royal Worcester, Royal Canadian Mounted Police there,

0:36:36 > 0:36:38I have £200 bid.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56550, 550 on the telephone.

0:37:17 > 0:37:19Finished. 700 on the telephone.

0:37:19 > 0:37:25£700, anyone else now? I am selling, all done at £700.

0:37:25 > 0:37:30The hammer has gone down £700.

0:37:30 > 0:37:33- It did well.- Good result.- £700.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36Wow! That's something to divide up.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39But you must treat yourself as well.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41There's lots of bills coming in.

0:37:41 > 0:37:45Two or three of my nieces will have a party.

0:37:45 > 0:37:47And it's your birthday soon,

0:37:47 > 0:37:51- so hopefully you will join in and party with them.- Yes, definitely.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53Definitely!
