0:00:02 > 0:00:05Flog It! has come to the seaside, described by Charles Dickens as

0:00:05 > 0:00:08one of the prettiest watering places on the South Coast - Folkestone.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56What a stunning view that is. It is so invigorating.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58This was once one of the most

0:00:58 > 0:01:01prosperous and fashionable resorts in the country.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03It was the place to be seen in.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Edward VII and his royal entourage came here. So did Charles Dickens,

0:01:06 > 0:01:10Noel Coward, Agatha Christie and, of course, Princess Margaret.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12They all came to the Leas to take in the sea air

0:01:12 > 0:01:16and the stunning architecture. And our venue for today's show?

0:01:16 > 0:01:19It is a stunning place, as well. It's the Leas Cliff Hall

0:01:19 > 0:01:20and it's just along the coastline.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23Let's hope we've got a massive turnout.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31Joining that illustrious list of names, we bring you our very own royalty,

0:01:31 > 0:01:35experts Mark Stacey and Nick Hall.

0:01:35 > 0:01:39Let's hope they're in the best of health and ready for the task ahead,

0:01:39 > 0:01:41in the spectacularly-located Leas Cliff Hall.

0:01:41 > 0:01:45It looks like there's going to be plenty to choose from.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Mark is first at the tables.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51- Pearl.- Yes. - You've buzzed in to see us today.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55You have this wonderful little honey jar, here.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Where did you get it from?

0:01:57 > 0:02:00I was helping a lady clean out her cupboards

0:02:00 > 0:02:03and she was going to throw it away.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06I said, "It's lovely", so she said, "Would you like it?"

0:02:06 > 0:02:09I said, "Yes, please" and I've had it all these years.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11When was that?

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Oh, about 20 years ago.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Did you like it? Has it been out on display?

0:02:15 > 0:02:18- I thought it was lovely. - It is a lovely thing.

0:02:18 > 0:02:22What we have got is this little honey pot, or honey jar

0:02:22 > 0:02:25or preserve pot - whatever you want to use it for -

0:02:25 > 0:02:26in the form of a bee.

0:02:26 > 0:02:31We have this lovely silver-plated head and these lovely feet, which

0:02:31 > 0:02:36are textured on the end, as well, to show a sign of good decoration.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39The wings lift up and you keep it in there.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43You have a little gap, where a little spoon would have gone.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45We've got various marks underneath.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48It's got Mappin & Webb,

0:02:48 > 0:02:52It's princes plate, so it was made and retailed through Mappin & Webb.

0:02:52 > 0:02:57A good sign of quality and a really funky, collectible thing.

0:02:57 > 0:03:02We are looking at it being made, I guess, around the 1920s.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05In terms of value, it's a difficult one to call.

0:03:05 > 0:03:10My personal feeling is we should put 200-300 on it,

0:03:10 > 0:03:15with a 200 fixed reserve, so we don't sell it a penny below 200.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19But, I think it's going to fly. If you excuse the pun.

0:03:19 > 0:03:20Yeah!

0:03:29 > 0:03:33Hi, Sue. Thanks for bringing these two lovely Royal Worcester vases.

0:03:33 > 0:03:37I only saw one of these, first of all, in the queue, and then

0:03:37 > 0:03:39you told me you had a second one and my eyes lit up!

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Tell me about them, have you had them long?

0:03:41 > 0:03:45- They were my mother's. - They've been in the family a while.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47- Yes.- Passed to you.- When she died.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49A little bit of an heirloom there.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51What made you bring them to Flog It!?

0:03:51 > 0:03:56My son's getting married this summer, so the funds will go towards that.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58As much as we can possibly get for these.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02The money will help pay for the wedding. This summer, is it?

0:04:02 > 0:04:03- It is, August.- Lovely.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07OK. As I said, they are made by Royal Worcester,

0:04:07 > 0:04:10lovely hand-painted designs here.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13We have fruits and leaves, and I've noticed as well, they are actually

0:04:13 > 0:04:16signed by the artist, Blake.

0:04:16 > 0:04:21Quite a good noted artist, not one of the top Worcester painters, but he is certainly up there.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23He has a good pedigree, a good name.

0:04:24 > 0:04:29Date-wise, if we pop this upside-down, we have a nice set of Worcester marks,

0:04:29 > 0:04:32with all the various model numbers, pattern numbers.

0:04:32 > 0:04:33And from that we can date them.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36They are not early, they are not Victorian period,

0:04:36 > 0:04:39they are very much into the 20th century.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Once we come to catalogue them for auction,

0:04:41 > 0:04:47we will look that little mark up and it will be somewhere between 1920-1950, that sort of era.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50They are in excellent condition, which is important. No damage.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53The money will go to a good cause, your son's wedding.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56- I suppose we had better talk about what they are worth.- Please.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00Being a pair, in good order, they ought to make £300-400,

0:05:00 > 0:05:03possibly more. They are both signed, in good condition,

0:05:03 > 0:05:06and you're keen to get a reserve on that, aren't you?

0:05:06 > 0:05:10- Yes.- Are you happy if we use the 300 as a firm reserve and not a penny under that?

0:05:10 > 0:05:14- That'd be lovely.- They should make that. They certainly warrant it.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17The more it fetches, the more champagne will flow at the wedding!

0:05:25 > 0:05:26What a nice little globe

0:05:26 > 0:05:28you have brought in to show us today.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Where did you get it from? - It has been in the family,

0:05:30 > 0:05:33as far as I know, for 60-70 years.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36I don't know exactly where it came from, originally.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39It has just been sitting in the top of a pot, basically.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41- You inherited it? - I inherited it, yes.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43And it has stayed in the pot?

0:05:43 > 0:05:47In the top of the pot. I thought it's a good thing to bring along,

0:05:47 > 0:05:52- cos it is nice and small.- Wonderful. The only shame is, I have looked

0:05:52 > 0:05:54- and I can't find a maker's name.- Right.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Which is a bit of a shame,

0:05:56 > 0:06:01because the maker's name can make a big difference to the value.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Basically, this is a pocket-sized globe,

0:06:04 > 0:06:07something you would have carried around with you.

0:06:07 > 0:06:11It would have had either a little, hard leather case

0:06:11 > 0:06:14or a shagreen case - sharkskin case, originally.

0:06:16 > 0:06:21Looking round it, we've got all the countries. But the fascinating

0:06:21 > 0:06:25thing about it is a lot of the countries have changed name since.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28The biggest one we have got here is New Holland.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Which, of course, is now Australia. - That is why I brought it along

0:06:31 > 0:06:36because I wasn't sure when it changed from New Holland to Australia.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38I thought it must be a reasonable age, I suppose.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Oh, it is. I am not 100% sure,

0:06:40 > 0:06:45but I am pretty sure that Australia has celebrated its bicentenary...

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Yes?

0:06:47 > 0:06:49..10 or 20 years ago.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53I think this is probably towards the end of the 18th century, just before

0:06:53 > 0:06:57- it became a British protectorate, if you like.- Yes.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00These are now very collectible.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Are they? Who would have had something like that?

0:07:03 > 0:07:06I immediately think of a seaman. Something like that.

0:07:06 > 0:07:11No, I think this would have been a part of the middle classes.

0:07:11 > 0:07:16You have to remember that the mid-18th century was almost the enlightenment. People wanted to

0:07:16 > 0:07:18learn about sciences and the arts

0:07:18 > 0:07:23and somebody would have had this to show their interest.

0:07:23 > 0:07:27You think of the Royal Society, formed in the late 18th century,

0:07:27 > 0:07:31it was all part of this education movement, I suppose.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34I would probably advise you to put,

0:07:34 > 0:07:36how should we say this,

0:07:36 > 0:07:38a "come and get me" estimate?

0:07:38 > 0:07:40I know what you mean.

0:07:40 > 0:07:45Put a tempting estimate on it. I would probably put 200-300 on it.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Good heavens. Blimey! - Really? Does that please you?

0:07:48 > 0:07:50That is amazing, that is!

0:07:50 > 0:07:52It really is, yeah. I would never have thought that.

0:07:52 > 0:07:57If we put 200-300 on it, I would hope it would go past that.

0:07:57 > 0:08:02I think it probably will. If we put a reserve of 200, to protect it.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05- We shouldn't give it away for less than that.- No.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08I can see two specialist collectors really wanting it.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12- I think it is a fascinating object. - That is really pleasing, thank you.

0:08:20 > 0:08:25Janet, hello. Welcome to Flog It! and thanks for bringing in this nice little object.

0:08:25 > 0:08:30- Is it something you have had for a long time? - Yes, well, it has been in my family.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32My grandmother, my mum and now me.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35I have had it about 20 years.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38About 20 years. Why have you brought it in today?

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Because...I'm more into cut glass

0:08:43 > 0:08:46and I've got a granddaughter now

0:08:46 > 0:08:49and I can see this is going to be broken!

0:08:49 > 0:08:52It would be a crying shame because it's in this immaculate condition.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54It is quite a fragile bit of porcelain.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57My mum was good at keeping things. I'm not quite so good!

0:08:57 > 0:09:01What do you know about it, before I tell you about its history?

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Nothing, other than that I realise it's lustreware.

0:09:04 > 0:09:09- That's all.- That is a generic term for all this ceramic and pottery

0:09:09 > 0:09:12which has this lovely, lustrous sheen within the glaze.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16If we dismantle it and look at the stand and we see...

0:09:16 > 0:09:19it has the factory mark. It is Carlton Ware.

0:09:19 > 0:09:24Carlton Ware were making a different number of ranges of this lustreware

0:09:24 > 0:09:28back in the 1930s. Very collectible today.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31The prices haven't quite reached the heights of the Wedgewood,

0:09:31 > 0:09:33but still make a lot of money.

0:09:33 > 0:09:38A lot of the price depends on the quality of the gilding

0:09:38 > 0:09:40and the condition of the gilding.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Once this lovely giltware gets worn, or rubbed, or washed,

0:09:43 > 0:09:46and it starts to lose that sheen,

0:09:46 > 0:09:49you can't replicate it. You can't reproduce it.

0:09:49 > 0:09:54The various materials used were toxic, to produce this colour, so you can't make that now.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Once that has gone, it has gone for life.

0:09:56 > 0:10:01- The price drops and never comes back up again.- Right.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Although there is one or two areas of wear here and there,

0:10:04 > 0:10:06overall, beautiful condition.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08- That's good. - Fascinating patterns, as well.

0:10:08 > 0:10:12We have these big, gory, horrible spider's webs

0:10:12 > 0:10:17and you have these frightening, big tarantula looking ones, as well.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Not small, little house-spiders.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23You have a wonderful array of all these moths and butterflies.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26You've got a lot of foliage there, blossoming trees.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Yeah.- A wonderful thing. Wonderful.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32Have you ever wondered what it might be worth?

0:10:32 > 0:10:35I haven't got any idea.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37I would think it should make

0:10:37 > 0:10:40a good £300 or £400.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Safeguard it with a reserve,

0:10:42 > 0:10:45I would suggest £250. Are you happy with that?

0:10:45 > 0:10:49- Yes, that's... - OK, we will put it to auction

0:10:49 > 0:10:53and see where we go from there. Thank you for bringing it in.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55It has brightened up my day and everyone's day.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57How lovely! Thank you.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06Before we take our rich booty of items to auction,

0:11:06 > 0:11:09I've come up the coast to Ramsgate, to find out more

0:11:09 > 0:11:13about the great 19th-Century architect, Edward Pugin.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Throughout the 17th and 18th century,

0:11:16 > 0:11:20classical themes reigned supreme among the fashion-conscious world

0:11:20 > 0:11:23of architecture and design.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26And rows of terraced houses, very much like these ones in Ramsgate,

0:11:26 > 0:11:30were a common sight in cities and towns, all over Britain.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33But, fashions come and go and the first half of the 19th century

0:11:33 > 0:11:39saw a definite change in people's styles, taste and attitude.

0:11:40 > 0:11:44By the early to mid-Victorian period, the so-called Gothic revival

0:11:44 > 0:11:49reflected this new fashion in many areas of art and culture.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53Although Victorian Gothic Architecture is a familiar

0:11:53 > 0:11:59and well loved feature on a British cityscape, it wasn't always the architects that were responsible.

0:11:59 > 0:12:04Some of the prime movers and shakers were philosophers and social commentators.

0:12:04 > 0:12:10Men, like John Ruskin, who believed the Middle Ages were the defining moment in human achievement

0:12:10 > 0:12:15and that Gothic design represented the ideal marriage

0:12:15 > 0:12:18between spiritual and artistic values.

0:12:25 > 0:12:31An early proponent of this new style was Augustus Pugin, the son of a French emigre.

0:12:35 > 0:12:39At the age of 17, Pugin had already set up his own business,

0:12:39 > 0:12:42designing furniture and fittings for houses throughout Britain.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45He is most famous for his magnificent interiors

0:12:45 > 0:12:47in the Houses of Parliament.

0:12:49 > 0:12:54Pugin absolutely hated the neo-classical style and form,

0:12:54 > 0:12:57so strongly associated with the Georgian period.

0:12:57 > 0:13:02But his vitriol went well beyond pure design considerations.

0:13:02 > 0:13:07He was a committed Christian, but converted to Catholicism in 1835,

0:13:07 > 0:13:12and he considered neo-classicism to be a form of paganism,

0:13:12 > 0:13:15drawing, as it did, on all its influences

0:13:15 > 0:13:17from ancient Rome and Athens.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22So Pugin decided to design and build his own house,

0:13:22 > 0:13:25according to those Gothic principles.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28He acquired some land, here in Ramsgate,

0:13:28 > 0:13:31where he spent many a happy childhood holiday.

0:13:31 > 0:13:36And work began on The Grange there in 1843.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39The house, now owned and lovingly restored by the Landmark Trust,

0:13:39 > 0:13:43was a radical departure from the conventions of the day.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46It became a prototype for what we now consider

0:13:46 > 0:13:49a typical Victorian middle-class home.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53The Grange is asymmetrical.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55It is designed from the inside out.

0:13:55 > 0:14:01This represented a brand-new approach, while, seemingly, it evolved naturally

0:14:01 > 0:14:05over the centuries and everything in here articulates so beautifully.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16The floor tiles which I'm standing on, in the entrance hall,

0:14:16 > 0:14:21the staircase, with this magnificent balustrade. In fact, every bit of architectural detail in here,

0:14:21 > 0:14:26is of the medieval style which Pugin was so in love with.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32Since his conversion to Catholicism, Pugin had harboured a desire

0:14:32 > 0:14:35to build a church, next door to The Grange.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Ramsgate was the ideal location for his church,

0:14:38 > 0:14:42as it was where St Augustine brought Christianity to southern England.

0:14:54 > 0:14:59Everything in here, the windows, the pointed arches, the cluster columns,

0:14:59 > 0:15:01they are all of Gothic design.

0:15:05 > 0:15:11With his ideas about faith and conduct in life and in building, that form follows function,

0:15:11 > 0:15:15Pugin can be seen as the pre-cursor to the Arts and Crafts movement.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19The Grange and St Augustine's are fine excess examples

0:15:19 > 0:15:22of Victorian Gothic architecture. But Pugin's greatest legacy

0:15:22 > 0:15:26has to be that he revolutionised architectural thinking,

0:15:26 > 0:15:28in Britain and beyond.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37For our auction, we've left Folkestone and travelled inland

0:15:37 > 0:15:42to the historic city of Canterbury. Here is today's venue, the Canterbury Auction Galleries.

0:15:42 > 0:15:47Let's go in and catch up with today's auctioneer, Tony Pratt, the man with the local knowledge.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50See what he's got to say about some of our owners' items.

0:15:52 > 0:15:57Pearl is hoping her honey pot won't leave a sting in the tail, at auction.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Sue's pair of Royal Worcester vases are magnificent.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03I'm sure champagne will be flowing, at the wedding.

0:16:04 > 0:16:08It's another one of those Flog It! pieces of pottery, Carlton Ware.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Our experts have lots of experience in this area

0:16:10 > 0:16:13and I think Nick is right on the money.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Finally, Rob may be surprised at the high valuation

0:16:15 > 0:16:19on his tiny globe, but it is very collectible.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Auctioneer Tony Pratt has a good feeling about it.

0:16:29 > 0:16:33The world is your oyster, but this is a pretty little world, isn't it?

0:16:33 > 0:16:36It's not a big world! This belongs to Rob.

0:16:36 > 0:16:3919th-Century pocket globe.

0:16:39 > 0:16:43I think very late 19th...could possibly be early 20th century.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46We have a valuation put on it by Mark Stacey of £200-300.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48I like it. It is missing its case.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50It stands a chance of doing well.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53One of those collectors markets that is still buoyant at the moment.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56It is an academics' toy and something for them to muse over.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58It is a scientific object, really.

0:16:58 > 0:17:03It is probably from a schoolboy's collection, because it is not very detailed.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06- Regrettably, it is not dated. - No, that's a shame.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Will it get the top end or the lower end?

0:17:08 > 0:17:10I think it stands a good chance of hitting top end.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12I'm quite confident of that.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23I've been joined by Alan and Susan. We have two Royal Worcester vases.

0:17:23 > 0:17:27Ivory Blush, going under the hammer. Signed "Blake", £300-400.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30They've got to do that, haven't they?

0:17:30 > 0:17:34They should do. In good condition, nicely painted, the signature.

0:17:34 > 0:17:35It has all the ingredients for collectors.

0:17:35 > 0:17:39A great name, great condition, everything is there to invest in.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41We always say, "When you invest in antiques,

0:17:41 > 0:17:43"invest in the top, a good maker's name and good quality."

0:17:43 > 0:17:4843, a pair of Royal Worcester, Blush Ivory porcelain vases.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50Decorated by K Blake.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05460 on the phone. Who is 460? 460 where?

0:18:05 > 0:18:08460 in the room. 480, 500?

0:18:08 > 0:18:10And 20, 540...

0:18:10 > 0:18:12- Brilliant. I like this. - ..560, 560 where?

0:18:13 > 0:18:18Selling at 540. Bid's in the room. All done at £540?

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Yes, that is good, isn't it?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22That will get the hat.

0:18:31 > 0:18:37Next up for grabs, we have that wonderful stylised honey bee, made by Mappin & Webb.

0:18:37 > 0:18:42We have a valuation put on by our expert, Mark Stacey, £200-300 and it belongs to Pearl.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46Unfortunately she can't be with us today, but her husband can.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49He's standing next to me and his name is Ray. Pleased to meet you.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53I love this little bee and I hope it will put a sting in the tail today.

0:18:53 > 0:18:58I love them. This really shows the invention of those late Victorians.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01They started to have this imagination

0:19:01 > 0:19:05and combine that lovely amber glass with the silver plating.

0:19:05 > 0:19:09Those lovely lift-up wings where you put the spoon. A fantastic object.

0:19:09 > 0:19:14269, the plated novelty honey pot in a stylised bee by Mappin & Webb.

0:19:46 > 0:19:51That's it, the hammer has gone down. £210. Just in.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54I was disappointed. Thought it might make more than that.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57I thought it'd do the top end. It's so unique.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00You probably won't find another one for sale for a long time.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04Nevertheless, Pearl will be happy with that. £210. She didn't like it.

0:20:04 > 0:20:08- What's she going to spend the money on, do you know?- No idea.- No idea.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27You like this kind of thing, don't you?

0:20:27 > 0:20:31I do. I have a penchant for the Deco era. But apart from that,

0:20:31 > 0:20:35it is a nice jazzy lump of pottery and I think collectors will love it.

0:20:35 > 0:20:39And it has the original stand. How often does that happen? Not very.

0:20:39 > 0:20:4258 is a Carlton Ware pottery, lustre-bowl and stand.
