0:00:02 > 0:00:06This magnificent cathedral dominates the oldest capital in England.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10Welcome to Flog It from Winchester.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48In 70AD, the Romans built a fortified city here
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and it's so typically Romanesque
0:00:50 > 0:00:55with its streets in grid fashion and a forum right in the middle.
0:00:55 > 0:01:01Today it's a refined, wealthy city, renowned for its shopping and its works of art.
0:01:05 > 0:01:12So hopefully we can't go far wrong for our valuation day here at the guild hall.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16I can't wait to get this massive queue inside.
0:01:16 > 0:01:23Charlie Ross and Michael Baggett are already hard at work and there are a few surprises in store.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Sheila and Peter, this is a grotty old album.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- I hope there's something better inside.- Yes.
0:01:31 > 0:01:37Unfortunately, my mother accidentally knocked over a candle and burned her bungalow.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39To the ground?!
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Yes, sort of.
0:01:42 > 0:01:49- And I had the task of clearing out what was left. And I found this. - You found that?
0:01:49 > 0:01:54I'm going to open it up. Postcards - who collected these?
0:01:54 > 0:02:01- My grandmother. My father's mother. - Are they all written on?- No. - They haven't been used at all.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Straight into the album.- Yes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:12I like the fact they're black and white. Good portrait black and white photographs are better than colour.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I've marked one or two favourites.
0:02:15 > 0:02:21Anna Neagle I remember seeing on the stage in the West End in about 1968.
0:02:21 > 0:02:28- That dates me.- Yes!- Pretty. Noel Coward - love Noel Coward.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Have you seen all these films?
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- No.- No, no. Bette Davis. - She was wonderful.- Yeah.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- How many are there?- 118. - 118?- Yes.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45- So what have you been doing with them all?- They sit in the cupboard.
0:02:45 > 0:02:52- What made you bring them today? - I've just moved in with Peter this week.- Have you?
0:02:52 > 0:02:57- This week?!- Yes. - Congratulations.- Thank you.
0:02:57 > 0:03:03- And that came out of one of the boxes.- Really? You think they might have a bit of value?- I hope so.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Any ideas?- I haven't a clue.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I think they're worth about...
0:03:09 > 0:03:1150p a card.
0:03:11 > 0:03:17So you're looking at an album there of value £60-£100, I'd have thought, to a collector.
0:03:17 > 0:03:23I would recommend a reserve of 60, with a bit of auctioneer's discretion.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Are you happy with that? - Yes.- Jolly good.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Come along to the auction and we'll see who's buying these.
0:03:36 > 0:03:44Clive, I spied you in the queue with a box with just the neck of that poking out and I pounced.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- It's a wonderful bottle. Are you a bottle collector?- No.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Just anything that catches my eye.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56- And where do you look for these? - Car boot sale. - The car boot sale again.
0:03:56 > 0:04:04I have gone round a few and never found anything as interesting as this. Was it expensive?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- They can be quite pricey.- I paid £3.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11£3. Right, right. Did you have any idea what it was?
0:04:11 > 0:04:16- Yes.- What do you think it is? - I think it's an onion bottle.
0:04:16 > 0:04:23What it is is an early wine bottle and they vary in shape and form and designs.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28The very earliest ones are rather rounded with a flatter base.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33They look basically like an onion. So they are the onion bottles.
0:04:33 > 0:04:39- It isn't, unfortunately, as early as some of them are. Any idea of the date?- 18th century,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42but I'm not too sure.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45With this shouldering here and this applied rim,
0:04:45 > 0:04:50it's anywhere from about 1720 up to about 1740,
0:04:50 > 0:04:541750. And, basically, these things have been dated
0:04:54 > 0:04:58because often they'll have seals on with the date.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03It's amazing they survive. You know quite a bit about them.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- Any idea of the value of it? - Em, I'm not too sure, really.
0:05:07 > 0:05:15- I know some with a date can be very expensive.- Absolutely. Some with a seal are £1,000-£1,500.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19In this case, because it's 18th century and not 17th century,
0:05:19 > 0:05:22and it's a fairly standard type,
0:05:22 > 0:05:26it's more going to be in the region of about £60-£100.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29It's a bottle to start a collection.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34- Still a very good return on £3! - Yes, very good.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39We'd put a little discretion on the lower estimate, say, a reserve of £45.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44- But it could exceed my expectations if we get two collectors.- Hope so.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Liz, you've brought along two of the Cries of London, I think.
0:05:53 > 0:06:00Cherries and we'll come to the other one in a minute. Something's wrong with the caption on the other one.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- Can you tell me about them? - They belong to my mother-in-law.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08She was given them by Mr Copeland.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- By Mr Copeland?- Indeed.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16Because her father-in-law was coachman to the Copelands.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18How fantastic. When?
0:06:18 > 0:06:23- In the early 1900s. - In the early 1900s. Yes.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28Then the family actually farmed on the estate in Cornwall.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33That's when Mr Copeland gave the figures to my mother-in-law.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Sounds like it would be around 1920.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41One of them has got the inscription... There we are.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43"Spode. Copeland's China, England."
0:06:43 > 0:06:49And here, as we were saying, "Cries of London after Francis Wheatley",
0:06:49 > 0:06:55who was an 18th-century artist. Royal Academy. He did a series of paintings
0:06:55 > 0:06:59from which people have done a lot of coloured engravings.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04Copeland and Doulton and others have made figures of the series.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09Ripe strawberries, cherries, all sorts of things.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13I always thought it was, "Milk-o! Milk-o!"
0:07:13 > 0:07:15This one says, "Milk below!"
0:07:15 > 0:07:21I think there's something wrong there. I've never seen one of these with "Milk below!"
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Why you'd be tipping milk out of a window I do not know.
0:07:25 > 0:07:31I think whoever modelled that just overheard, "Milk...something or other,"
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- and put, "Milk below!"- Right.
0:07:33 > 0:07:40I think that's a wrong caption, which makes it quite charming. You don't like them?
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- My mother-in-law is afraid that she might break them.- Is she?
0:07:44 > 0:07:49- She's happy for them to be sold. - She does know you brought them?- Yes.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I phoned her, just to make sure!
0:07:52 > 0:07:58You've had her blessing. Did she say, "Oh, sell them if they're worth X, Y or Z"?
0:07:58 > 0:08:04- Yes, she did. £50.- £50. I think they're worth that each.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- She will be pleased. - You can tell her that.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13I think they are worth £110, £120 the pair,
0:08:13 > 0:08:15into three figures.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20These are pretty collectable and I do like the inscription.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24OK, super. Thank you very much.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Whose collection is this? What are your names?- Claire.- Rob.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- Whose are they?- They were my granddad's.- You've inherited them?
0:08:38 > 0:08:46He sadly passed away last year. They used to be all on display in the flat that they lived in.
0:08:46 > 0:08:52- Lots of dusting!- Yes. I think my nan was not happy with the dusting,
0:08:52 > 0:08:59- so she was thinking about tipping them down the sink! - I see little bottles of Guinness.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01They're worth £20-£30 each.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05But the value here is in the bottles of single malt.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Single malt is expensive anyway.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11There's quite a few of those.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15The rest you'll struggle to get 30p or 40p for.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Nevertheless, it's a fantastic collection.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24- Have you thought about what you'll do with it?- No, we haven't. - Drink it!
0:09:24 > 0:09:29- Has anyone got any glasses?- We considered it while we were waiting.
0:09:29 > 0:09:35- Granddad was a big fan.- He liked a tipple for "medicinal purposes".
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- I don't blame you. Thanks for coming in.- Thank you.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Nicky, it's fair to say that my eyes popped out of my head
0:09:47 > 0:09:51when you opened your little box in the queue
0:09:51 > 0:09:55and I saw this magnificent watch. What can you tell me?
0:09:55 > 0:10:02I know practically nothing about it. It belonged to my grandmother and probably her parents.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- I know nothing about it. - It's been in the family.- Yes.
0:10:06 > 0:10:12- Has it ever been worn or used?- No. - What I'll do, to get a better look at the watch first,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15is if I take it off here...
0:10:15 > 0:10:21We've got this beautiful gold case set with half-pearls
0:10:21 > 0:10:26all the way round the bezel on blue and white enamel. Quite fantastic.
0:10:26 > 0:10:32- And look at the back of it! - That's what I love.- That's stunning.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37It's an English watch, but a very French and Swiss technique,
0:10:37 > 0:10:42which they developed in about 1750, 1765, of engine turning.
0:10:42 > 0:10:49You get a piece of metal, you turn it in a jig and it gets a rather fine and intricate pattern.
0:10:49 > 0:10:56Then you flood it over with clear enamel, in this case blue. And you see all the working underneath.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00The real joy of it... should be...
0:11:00 > 0:11:05when we get it open. There we go. That's the cover open.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09There should be another snib here. There we go.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- And we've got the movement. Ever seen it?- No. Never dared.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Look at the craftsmanship.
0:11:16 > 0:11:22Beautifully pierced. Hopefully, we'll have a maker's name on it.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Right. Well, they're not watchmakers, but it's a good name.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34It's Rundell and Bridge, goldsmiths to George IV.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39They actually provided most of the regalia for his coronation.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44They provided all the diamonds for his crown and their heyday was
0:11:44 > 0:11:49around...1810 to about 1820, 1825.
0:11:49 > 0:11:55And it's fantastic. The fact that it is Rundell and Bridge, not Rundell, Bridge and Rundell,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57dates it to about 1810, 1815.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01The only disappointing feature is no full set of hallmarks.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06I tried to look for the hallmarks. I thought it might be on this.
0:12:06 > 0:12:12Well, we've got a little lion passant, which you've got here on the bezel and on the back.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17- This is, I'm happy to say, 18 carat. - Oh! Sounds all right.
0:12:17 > 0:12:24If we close that up, the only flaw with this is the lack of the minute hand!
0:12:24 > 0:12:29Not terribly useful like that, but otherwise in lovely condition.
0:12:29 > 0:12:34This, because it had the rigours of wear, is base metal,
0:12:34 > 0:12:38which is gilded. But all of this work again is in gold.
0:12:38 > 0:12:45Beautiful blue engine-turned enamel. I think this little fob here is original to it.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- We've got the blue and the white. - And that's the key?
0:12:48 > 0:12:54Yes. And in period with 1810, 1820. Cast gilt scrolls and roses.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59Really super thing. Right, any idea of what it's worth?
0:13:00 > 0:13:04No, I'm here for you to tell me. I've always just admired it.
0:13:04 > 0:13:10I think it's a stunning watch. If I were a watch collector and I saw that at an auction,
0:13:10 > 0:13:16I'd want to own it. So I think, for the purpose of the auction, we'll put...
0:13:16 > 0:13:19£600-£800 on it.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22A fixed reserve of £600.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27And hopefully, if two people get behind it, we'll do very much more.
0:13:27 > 0:13:33- If you're happy with that... - A few telephone bids! - From London and New York!
0:13:33 > 0:13:37I watch your programme practically every day.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42- That would be thrilling.- We'll pop it into auction and see how it goes.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Well, I'm escaping the crowds and going to see what cultural treasures the city has to offer.
0:13:55 > 0:14:01You've got to keep your eyes open here. Winchester has a refreshingly modern outlook.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05The civic powers are really tuned in to contemporary art.
0:14:05 > 0:14:11Amongst the city's old buildings, there's plenty of visual surprises.
0:14:17 > 0:14:23For instance, you may not expect to see something as modern and contemporary as this
0:14:23 > 0:14:28situated right by the city's 11th-century cathedral.
0:14:30 > 0:14:36Or this bronze statue which is situated underneath a canopy of green foliage
0:14:36 > 0:14:39on a very busy high street.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43These two works of art are nearly 100 years apart.
0:14:43 > 0:14:49The statue behind me on this side of King Alfred was put up in 1901.
0:14:49 > 0:14:55On this side, that sundial was commissioned to mark the new millennium.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02So it's no surprise, really, to find out that the local county council
0:15:02 > 0:15:07have commissioned the largest embroidery to go on public display in the UK
0:15:07 > 0:15:13and it's being made in Winchester by internationally-renowned textile artist Alice Kettle.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Alice, this is such a vast explosion of colour. I can't grasp the scale.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25- What size is it? - It's 16.5 metres by 3 metres.
0:15:25 > 0:15:32Possibly the largest machine embroidery in the world, but that's arguable!
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- It's very big.- I think it is.
0:15:35 > 0:15:41When it's on the wall, you can stand back and appreciate it. Has it got a title yet?
0:15:41 > 0:15:47- We're inviting the public to make suggestions.- Good idea!- So we might discover a title for it.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52- So where did the inspiration come from?- It's about Winchester.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57It's going to be located in the new discovery centre, the library.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01So I've tried to reflect aspects of Winchester.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06You've taken inspiration from Winchester itself - buildings, sculptures...
0:16:06 > 0:16:12- I looked at the Winchester Bible, a remarkable treasure.- 12th century.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17- It's in the cathedral.- The colours remind me of the illuminations.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20The vivid blues, ultramarine, gold.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25- Exactly.- You've captured those hues. - That's exactly what it refers to,
0:16:25 > 0:16:29although I've used the colours as a sweep across.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Can you explain a little about the technique you use?
0:16:38 > 0:16:44It's machine embroidery. Normally I use one machine. I'm using seven different types!
0:16:44 > 0:16:49The easiest way to describe it is if you've got a fixed pencil
0:16:49 > 0:16:53and you move the paper underneath to do a drawing.
0:16:53 > 0:16:59I'm doing the same with a sewing machine. I've got a needle and I've removed the foot.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03I can move the fabric in any direction.
0:17:03 > 0:17:11I've got four helpers. I've trained them, so they've had to learn my technique and interpret it.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16I've also go a computerised sewing machine, which is very different.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19It sews out independently.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25Has it gone the way you wanted it or has it led you in some places?
0:17:25 > 0:17:31It's very much led me because of the scale and the technical challenges along the way.
0:17:31 > 0:17:38- You've had to adapt?- Completely. It's testing things out as I do the making process.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42I wanted the whole thing to be very glowing and lustrous.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- It's got metallic thread throughout. - Lots of golds.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51- Yes, yes.- How do you work on such a vast scale?
0:17:51 > 0:17:57- Do you work from smaller drawings and size them up?- As it's a public commission, I had to do a design.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02- I did a small watercolour painting. - Did that go to a committee?- Yes.
0:18:02 > 0:18:08Although they were very positive and they had no changes that they wanted to make.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13To have a commission on this scale in textiles is truly remarkable.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- So I'm very proud and very lucky. - Well, good luck with this.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22- Thank you.- I'll come and see it when it's in the new building.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- Then I can really appreciate it. - Thank you.- Thank YOU.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33The people of Winchester turned out in droves for our valuation day
0:18:33 > 0:18:37but now we're off to auction with all our treasures.
0:18:37 > 0:18:43Charlie uncovered these glamorous postcards of movie stars, but will they shine at the auction?
0:18:43 > 0:18:50Michael's nose led him to this 18th-century wine bottle, which Clive found at a car boot sale.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53I think it will make a healthy profit.
0:18:53 > 0:19:00Fingers crossed, Liz's two spode fetch a good price, as they belong to her 92-year-old mother-in-law.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05And Nicky's beautiful enamelled watch is a unique time piece.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10I think this will be the one to watch at auction.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Today we're the guests of Andrew Smith and Son just outside Winchester.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19Before the auction starts, one item has caught Andrew's eye.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25It belongs to Nicky. Michael did the valuation.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27He's put £600-£800 on this watch,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30but look what you get with it.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35- And I like the enamel work. - And the pearl around the edge.
0:19:35 > 0:19:41- We've been getting a lot of interest in this.- Have you?- This one will quite exceed expectations
0:19:41 > 0:19:46- by quite a big amount.- Can you let us in on a little inside knowledge?
0:19:46 > 0:19:52Auctioneers have the knowledge before the sales start, Andrew.
0:19:52 > 0:19:59We haven't had enough interest to categorically say, but we think well in excess of £1,000.

0:24:00 > 0:24:04but she's afraid that at 93 she might chip them.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09We have no room for them and my daughters don't want them,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12so somebody else should enjoy them.
0:24:12 > 0:24:19- The old story. The next generation don't want them. No point in leaving them up in the loft.- No.

0:25:40 > 0:25:44We mused over this with the auctioneer earlier on.

0:25:53 > 0:25:58Four figures! Tell me, why are you selling this?

0:26:03 > 0:26:05I'm keeping it quiet from the others.
