Oi, wake up, you lot. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:03 | |
I've got the time, I've got the money, I've got the contestants, I just haven't got the bargains yet. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:09 | |
So let's go bargain hunting, eh? | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
Welcome to the Jaguar Antiques Fair at Weatherfield Race Course. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
So let's saddle up, adjust the jodhpurs, enjoy the ride, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:43 | |
because here's a flavour of what's coming up. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
It's Ladies Day today. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
In red, mates Nicola and Lauren can't see the wood for the trees. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
How much is that? I like that. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
I like that thing, I like that, and I like these. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
You two have got to choose something. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
In blue, sisters in law Emma and Claire | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
give their expert the runaround. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
Wait for me. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
Crikey, I didn't realise you were so quick. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
And nothing's ever predictable at the auctions. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
-Oh, no. -I told you, I told you! | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
So, if that's got you going, let's meet them, proper like. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
Now you two are a couple of fitties, it says here. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
Well, you certainly look good and fit to me. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
Why would you describe yourself as a fittie, then? | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
Oh, I do quite a bit of outdoor activities, me and my boyfriend. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
-Oh. -Canoeing, we've tried surfing, we do a lot of cycling, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
abseiling, climbing, things like that. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
It says pole dancing... Oh, no, line dancing. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
-That would be Nicki. -That's me. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
Yeehaw!, isn't it, and all that kind of stuff? | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
-We don't do a lot of yeehaw-ing, no. -Oh, don't you? -No. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
-How did you two girls meet? -We worked in a shop together, didn't we? | 0:01:52 | 0:01:57 | |
Yes. It was kind of a mutual dislike of the job that we were working in that brought us together. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
-You hated the job? -We did, yes. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
We bonded over that, didn't we? | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
-Lauren, what do you do now? -I'm doing a Masters degree in Historical Studies at the University of Hull. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
It's supposed to be based on the English Civil War, but I also do a little bit of | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
Latin and palaeography, which is the study of old handwriting. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
-Gosh that's quite a package. -It keeps me very busy. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
I bet it does, because really that's three subjects wrapped into one. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
How lovely. What about you, Nicola, what are you up to? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
I'm currently working as a teaching assistant | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
in a school for special educational needs children. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
It's fantastic, I really enjoy myself. It's good fun. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
-And quite a challenge too, I guess. -Yes, it is. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
Some days are quite hard, it is quite difficult, and it can be quite exhausting, but it's well worth it. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:47 | |
Are you going to be any good on Bargain Hunt today, do you think? | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
-I should think so. -Yes. -Yes? -We've got a lot in common. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
-We tend to agree on things. -Yes, we do. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
Because most of our contestants fall out immediately. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:01 | |
Anyway, good luck. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:02 | |
-Now the Blues, who are mates and sisters in law. -Yes. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
-You get on well together. -Very well. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
So what do you get up to? Do you go shopping? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
-We're big shoppers. -Oh, yes, big bargain hunters, but we keep the bargains, we don't resell them. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:15 | |
Well, that's fair enough? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
So, Emma, have you got a good eye for a bargain, do you reckon? | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
Erm... I know what I like and that's not necessarily the same, so I do my best. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:26 | |
Yes. You're a bit of a fan of the old painting or two, aren't you? | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
Yes. I do have a secret passion for paintings by Yorkshire artists, particularly the Staithes School. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:37 | |
Yes. Now tell us about this Staithes School because it rivals the Newlyn School, doesn't it? | 0:03:37 | 0:03:42 | |
Yes, they were contemporaries of the Newlyn School. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
They're rather expensive now, but I can still pick up a few at auction. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
But I don't want to come over as some expert because I'm not. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
Yes. This is the modesty of the woman, marvellous, isn't it? | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
-Now, Claire, you're a close family, aren't you? -Yes, we are, very close. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
And you're a partner in the business? | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
Yes, I am. There's a complex and there are quite a few little businesses on site. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
I have four children and each child has a business, which they run themselves and are independent. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
-And which bit do you run, Claire? -Well, I work in the nursery, my husband's a rose grower nurseryman | 0:04:11 | 0:04:16 | |
and I work in the nursery, plus I have a little card business on site. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
Lovely. Now, the money moment, here we go £300 apiece. Yes, £300, are you ready for this? | 0:04:19 | 0:04:24 | |
-Yes. -There's your £300. -Thank you. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:25 | |
£300. You know the rules, your expert awaits, and off you go! | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
Very, very, very good luck. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
Aren't they gorgeous? | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
So, they'll need a handsome expert. It's youth versus experience today. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:41 | |
The young Philip Serrell is advising the Reds, | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
and the old boy, Charles Hanson, is with the Blues. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
-After you. -OK. -Ready to go? -Yep. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
So, girls, you've got a plan? | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
-Erm... -Erm? -Yeah, I think we're going to go for something practical. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
-Quality. -Quality, yes, and something a bit quirky. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
Something nice. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
-You've got the wrong bloke. -Ah. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
Well, I think you're nice, Philip. But what you all need is bargains! | 0:05:05 | 0:05:10 | |
So while they get their bearings, a quick reminder of the rules. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
Each team get an hour to buy three objects with £300, but then you know that already, right? | 0:05:13 | 0:05:20 | |
-Right. -Right! | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
How much is the nut, please, sir? | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
I don't want to know if it's damaged. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
-It is damaged. You're looking at problems on it. -What's it for? | 0:05:27 | 0:05:32 | |
These are 19th century, it's coquilla nut, which is | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
a Brazilian nut, and it's carved. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
Sometimes these were used for putting thimbles in, sometimes | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
-pomander or whatever. I think that's quite nice, do you? -Even though it's damaged? | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
The thing is, anything that's turned on a lathe, anything that's circular, | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
as it dries out you're going to get a split in it because as it shrinks, it shrinks at different rates... | 0:05:50 | 0:05:56 | |
now you're laughing at me now. I don't like it when people laugh at me. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
-She is, she's laughing at me. -I'm not sure about it. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
Yes, just the fact that it is slightly a bit damaged. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
Meany. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
Look at the rich gilding. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
Yes, but it's £150. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
1880s, Persian influence. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
-Too much, no, no. -I love it. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
But they don't. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:20 | |
I think we're better inside. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
-Yeah. -Inside? -OK, fair enough. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:23 | |
-Let's go in then. -There's some very elegant items here. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
They're not listening. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
Sophisticated, yes? | 0:06:28 | 0:06:29 | |
-And this is a teething ring is it, my dear? -Oh, is that what it is? | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
-You've got a cricket bat. -Is it a hammer? | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
You've got a fork, a pair of scissors, and a pair of pliers. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
Good thing for a small child, he can put an axe in his mouth. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
-I like Moorcroft. -Moorcroft, it's so boring. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
No, I don't think I'd want to pay 150 for that. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
-It's an unusual thing, heavy as well. -Yes, but still. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
I quite like it, but I wonder how old it is. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
I would have thought it's probably more 1880 in date. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
Not a bad price at £85, what's it worth in a good auction house? | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
-Think of Harrogate, girl. -30 to 50. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
-Right. Yeah? -It is, it is! | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
I would say it's a good thing, I would say we're not far off. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
I would see it making between £60 and £90. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
-If you don't like it, we'll move on. -No. -No? | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
-Not 60 to 90. -What do you think, Claire? | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
Claire doesn't like it. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:21 | |
It's not my sort of thing, I have to say. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
Cor, the redhead's quite fiery. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
-How much is your caddie? -450. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
-That's shot us straight in the foot. -That's right out of budget. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
Right, OK. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
-40 minutes to go. -No, more. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
Right, 45 minutes. We're OK. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
You say that, Charles, there's been lots of looking and no buying. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
Come on, buck up! | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
-It's got something about it. -So how much is that, please? | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
-£50 is the best. -What do you think, girls? | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
-I think that's a little bit dear. -You do? | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
I do like it though, I think it's quite pretty. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
-We can bear it in mind. -I like that. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
Gorgeous. Look at this nice miniature. Tell me about it, what do you think of it? | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
I think it's lovely. I don't know what it's painted on, it's not ivory, it's not bone. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
I think it's a mezzotint maybe. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:11 | |
-I think maybe it's a hand-tinted little mezzotint. -Could be, but we don't know. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:16 | |
You've got a lovely lady, elegant, sophisticated like yourself, Emma. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:21 | |
-Really. -Well, if you saw her without looking, what's it worth? | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
-What would I pay for that? -Yes. -90. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:25 | |
-I was going to say 95 anyway, so you were close. -There you go, it's £95. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
But to make a profit, we need to buy it at 60. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
-I think it's hand tinted. -I don't do half price even for my mother. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:37 | |
Emma's not that old. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:38 | |
-That one is the best by a country mile, right? -Yes. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
-Because it's shaped, it's engraved. -Yes, it is, it's quite nice that. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
At last somebody likes something. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
Does it matter if it has initials? | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
I don't think it makes much difference. You don't like these? | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
Well, let's discount those anyway. You've got 48, can you do it for... | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
38. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
35 any good? | 0:08:57 | 0:08:58 | |
-Do you like that one? -I really like it. -I do. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
I think at auction, that's probably £30 to £40 worth. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
OK, so you run the risk of losing a bit of money. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
But if it's already 38. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
-It's up to you. -I'm put off my the initials. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
Ah, but sometimes in this game you do have to take a risk. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:19 | |
Well, it's priced at 215 and we've got to speculate to accumulate, right? | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
What else can we buy with that? | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
Three bags of crisps and a cup of coffee. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
Poor old Charles. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:27 | |
No, Charles. Please, no, I'm going to cry. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:32 | |
Copper plates, these have been out of some, | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
presumably, book illustrations? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
I would say so, yes. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
-They're not copper, are they? -They're wood. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
They're going to date to about 1900, are they? | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
I would say so. Look at the seal. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
-The print that was made from these would probably cost more than this has cost. -Than the actual. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:53 | |
-Yes. -Which is a nonsense, isn't it? | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
-It's proper craftsmanship though, isn't it? -Yes. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
-Yes, it's beautifully done. -There's a lot of work gone into that. -Yes. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
-£8.50. -And how much is that one? | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
-That one I think... Oh, it's fallen off. -It's free. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
-Yaay! -It's free, it's free. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
-Excellent. -Today. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:10 | |
-Any other day would be a tenner on that. -Right. Shall we buy two? | 0:10:10 | 0:10:15 | |
Yes, I think so. So we'd have two as one item, you mean? | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
Yes. So did you say two for 10? | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
-Two for 15, I said. -Did you hear him? | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
-What do you think he said? -I'm sure he said two for 10, yes. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
How can you turn down pretty girls like that? | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
12 did you say? Was that 12? Go on. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
12, go on. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
You're a gentleman. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
At last, one in the bag for Lauren and Nicola. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
Have you got two the same size? | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
May we handle this, do you mind? Thanks. Look at that. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
-I like it. -I do. -Emma, we're agreeing. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
You and all, so thrilled. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
It's in the Art Deco style. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
Yes, it would look nice in a cloakroom, but it's got to come down in price. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:55 | |
-It's lovely quality, it's interesting. -Is it 50? | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
-It's 55. -30? No. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
Take it, feel the money. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
-This man is being very fair giving you £20 off. -OK. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:08 | |
Well, we like it. Yes, we like that. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
Wow, decisive. Emma slashes the price, | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
Claire nips in with the cash, could this be a winning strategy? | 0:11:15 | 0:11:20 | |
Have you got a sense of humour? | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
-Interesting. -No, it's a sample, look. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
It's a sample bog. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
A sample porcelain toilet. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
Yes, and it's £145. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
For a sample porcelain toilet. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
£145, but look at it. It's all stamped up round here. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:42 | |
-It's a toilet. -Doulton. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
It's a toilet. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:45 | |
-You're being horrible to me. -Put it down and walk away. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
OK, fine. I think I've got the hint. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
Another idea down the pan? | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
Instead, take a look at this. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
Isn't that sweet? | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
Have you ever seen such a little one? | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
Actually, look carefully, it's something that's most beautifully made. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:07 | |
Look up that back spine and you can see two slivers of gold, | 0:12:07 | 0:12:12 | |
sitting on top of the gold is tortoiseshell, and then we've got three studs on either side. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:20 | |
They're the rivets that hold the tortoiseshell to the gold case. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
I open it up, | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
the greatest miracle of all is that the small, extremely sharp, steel blade is in perfect condition, | 0:12:26 | 0:12:34 | |
because this wafer thin piece of steel could break incredibly easily but it hasn't. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:41 | |
This wee knife was probably made round about 1820 to 1850, and a little knife like | 0:12:41 | 0:12:48 | |
this would have been used to sharpen up your quill pen. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
What's it worth? Well, these things are desirable. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
They're desirable to collectors, particularly in Sheffield. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:59 | |
Over the centuries, of course, Sheffield made some | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
special knives, including penknives, and not surprisingly these things were bought and sold avidly. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:08 | |
What's this one worth? Well, in one of those specialist sales | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
I'd estimate perhaps £100 to £125, and what might it cost you in a fair here in Yorkshire? | 0:13:11 | 0:13:18 | |
Well, £25 actually. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
Go on, sharpen up your pencil. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
Straight to the point then, flying solo are the Blues. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
What do you suppose they've done with Charles? | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
Could we have a look at the gold | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
brooch with the seed pearls round it? | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
-What do you know about that? -It's Victorian. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
-£75 on that one. -Nice, isn't it? | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
-Yes. -It's got love hearts round it. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
-Oh, yes. -That's pretty, but I think we'd have to get it for 40. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:55 | |
I think we should offer 50, 45 is too low. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
No! Start low and then you move up. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
You can't move down once you've offered something. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
I think it's too much of a drastic drop because she already said 75 is what she would take. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:07 | |
So I think 50 and just say that's it. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
Well, get your notes out, Claire, and put the money in her hand. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
Well, that's told her, and they're friends. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
-There's money out here. -Yes. -How are you getting on? | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
We're going to make an offer and see what the lady says. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
Look, it's got hearts round the edge, it's unusual. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
9 carat gold. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
Seed pearl, what 1890 in date, 1900? | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
Very nice. What's it worth? | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
50 - 80. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
I like it, OK. Well, you do what you can do. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
They will anyway, Charles. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
Excuse me? I've got £50 in my hand here, will you take that? | 0:14:37 | 0:14:43 | |
-OK then. -Thank you very much. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
-Crikey, that was easy. -It's because you've got the money in the hand. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
Clever tactic. So that's two for the Blues and only one for the Reds with 15 minutes left. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:55 | |
-I'm not keen on pots. -Right, that's that sorted. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
I'm trying to work out what we do like here. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
We want a nice little piece of silver. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:02 | |
-You want a piece of silver? -Yes. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
-I also like wooden boxes. -Wooden boxes and silver. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
I like writing desks, tea caddies, that kind of thing. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
We want something big, bold. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
-Is it an inkstand? -That's neither big nor bold. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
Nuh-huh. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:15 | |
Isn't he nice, a little inkstand, he's quite nice you know. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
Charles, you said speculate to accumulate. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
-Quite right. -You're not going to accumulate with that, are you? | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
'Lift going up.' | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
Well, we'd get something bigger outside, wouldn't we? Come on, quick, quick. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:32 | |
We're going to get stuck in here and we're never seen again. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
Wait for me. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
Crikey, I didn't realise you were so quick. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
The youth of today. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
That's rickety, isn't it? | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
That looks like something we'd keep in our garage. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
-Big and bold. -Big, bold, that little car. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
-I wonder how much it is. 525. -Ooh. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
-I just cant get excited about pots. -You don't like pots full stop. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
I do, I do. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
-There are some more stalls in here. -10 minutes. -Oh... 10 minutes? | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
-10 minutes. -Oh, please. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
You two can't seem to agree on much, can you? | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
-Usually we do. -Is it like this when you go shopping normally? | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
-Yeah, we usually agree on everything. -Really? | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
Well, 10 minutes, two items, so hurry up and get agreeing. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
Look, we have got to buy something from this room. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
A dragon, I would have said. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
-We have an issue here. -Oops. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:24 | |
-What's that? -You've got 10 minutes. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
-Yes. -Two items. -Yes, no problem. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
So that's five minutes an item. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
I just said that. No-one listens to me. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
Do you like that? | 0:16:38 | 0:16:39 | |
I quite like it actually, yes. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
-It is signed. -It's by Raymond Rushton. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
It's a little piece of Worcester and it was made in about 1937. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
I like the scene, it's really nice. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
The only thing that concerns me is I can't see in this light, is whether it's been restored. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
The thing is it's nice enough anyway. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
This is the deal - £75, it's by Raymond Rushton. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
Do you think it will sell quite well, then? | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
The issue is whether it's been restored or not, | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
it may just have been done round there although... | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
£60 any good? | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
-It doesn't look like it has. -£70? | 0:17:10 | 0:17:14 | |
-OK. -Yes, I quite like that. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
I think we should go for that, yes. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
You buy that. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
-OK. -If it's perfect, right? | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
-Yes. -I think we're going to get between £150 and £300 for it, if it's perfect. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:29 | |
-Now you've said that! -I like it. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:30 | |
That's what I would get for it. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
How money talks, eh? | 0:17:33 | 0:17:34 | |
It's big and bold. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
How's that for a statement, hey? | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
-Isn't it? -Yes. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
110. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
Is it good condition? | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
There you've got Poole Pottery. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:46 | |
-It's lovely. -How old would this one be, Simon, probably what, 1990s? | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
-1990? -Yes, not very old. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
Is that a scratch? | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
A small scratch, yes. Very stylish, it's what we are looking at today as being the antique of the future. | 0:17:54 | 0:18:00 | |
-Hello, hello, hello. -Hello! | 0:18:00 | 0:18:01 | |
-How are we, all right? -What do you think, Tim? | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
Oh, don't ask me about that, that's Poole isn't it? | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
Are you not a fan? | 0:18:07 | 0:18:08 | |
Don't count my personal predilections, a lot of people love Poole, it makes lots of money at | 0:18:08 | 0:18:13 | |
auction, it's a highly collectible pottery, just not what I'd put my hand in my pocket for. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:18 | |
-But on the other hand, you have only got six minutes left. -Oh, gosh. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
You've got the man here, I mustn't distract you any more. I'm off. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:25 | |
Six minutes! | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
-What would the pair be? -I was going to say what are the pair going to be. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
Could we have the pair for £100? | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
Not a chance. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
-I've got 150 in mind. -For the pair? | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
I've got 150 for the pair. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
I've got £150 in my pocket. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
-Yes. -Yes? | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
Done? OK. Thank you. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:49 | |
Poor Charles, sidelined again, eh? | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
-Charles doesn't have to be happy. -We don't hang around. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
No, I've noticed. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
You wanted a vesta case and here's the Rolls Royce of vesta cases. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
You've got that little... | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
-Extra touch. -Yes. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
It's priced up at £98. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
Ouch. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
If that came into my saleroom, I'd estimate it at £40 to £60. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
OK. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
What's the best you can do that for, sir? | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
75. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
-Is that your absolute best price? -Yes. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
-You are gambling there, you've now got... -Is there anything else here that we'd like? | 0:19:26 | 0:19:30 | |
You've now got three minutes left. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
When he says you've finished, you've finished. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
I know, but... I quite like a lot of these things, | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
can we still have a look at what these things are? | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
I like that. How much is that? I like that thing there. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
Hold your horses, Lauren. I can't keep up. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
You two have got to choose something. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
-Yes, we've only got two minutes. -Could that not be repaired? | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
But that's going to add to the cost. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
Which one do you think we're more likely to make a profit on? | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
-Probably that one. -Right, we'll go and buy that one then. -You're sure? | 0:19:57 | 0:20:01 | |
Ahh, so we've come full circle. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
Remember right back at the beginning? | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
I think at auction that's probably £30 to £40 worth. It's up to you. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
I'm put off by the initials. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
-It really doesn't bother you which one you buy? -This one in the case. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
-I think we should go with it. -Which one? | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
-I prefer the other one. -You want to buy the other one? | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
-I do prefer the other one. -I prefer this one. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
Oh, it's a rollercoaster this, isn't it? | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
Help. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:26 | |
I think we should go with this. because of the damage. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
-You've only got a minute. -But that's got initials on it. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
You can get rid of that easily. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:33 | |
It'll cost less to get rid of initials than it damage. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
-Buy whichever one you want. -OK, we'll go for it. Yes, that's cool. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
-As long as you're happy. -Yes, definitely. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
-I prefer the other one but... -Can we take this? -..that seems to be the decision. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
I'm glad they always agree. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:47 | |
-I'd really rather have the other one. -Phew. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
Ah well, looks like the shopping's over then. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
It's now over to the experts to sniff out a bonus buy with the leftover lolly, | 0:20:53 | 0:21:00 | |
but before we find out how much they have to play with here's a quick reminder of what the Reds bought. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:05 | |
First up, Lauren and Nicola hope to print a mint with the wooden blocks. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:11 | |
Next, the most expensive item was the £70 Royal Worcester bowl. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:17 | |
And finally after a bit of toing and froing, | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
-£38 was paid for the silver vesta case. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
59 minutes and 59 seconds. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
-Tense, isn't it? -Yes. -Did you get tense at the end? | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
-Very, very tense. -Very, yes. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
And you're close mates, right? | 0:21:33 | 0:21:34 | |
We used to be. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
Aw, it won't be as bad as all of that. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:39 | |
-Yes, we are, we are. -So you've spent how much? | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
-£120. -I would quite like £180 of leftover lolly please. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
-Yes, got it for you. -£180. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
Now what I really want to know is which is your favourite piece? | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
-Got to be the bowl. -The bowl is your favourite. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
And you, Nic, what's your favourite? | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
Probably the same, but I do like the little wooden plaques. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
-The wood plaques, yes. -They're nice as well. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
So we have a consensus. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
You're going to kiss and make up and I'll give you £180, Philip Serrell, | 0:22:06 | 0:22:11 | |
which is a lot of money for a fellow like you to go and spend. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
-Spend it wisely. -I'm going to find a dark room. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
I bet he only spends a tenner on the bonus buy. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
Anyway, why don't we remind ourselves what the Blues bought? | 0:22:18 | 0:22:22 | |
Emma and Claire lit up when they saw the Art Deco lightshade. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:27 | |
Next they took a shine to the Victorian brooch for £50. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:32 | |
And finally they well and truly splashed out, | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
paying 150 smackers for a pair of Poole plates. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
Bargain price, buy one get one free nearly. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
Yes, I'm not surprised. Anyway that's good, that's a decision made. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
Now how much did you spend all round? | 0:22:48 | 0:22:49 | |
-£235. -£235, I can tell you're a businesswoman, Claire. Lovely. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:55 | |
65 notes please of leftover lolly. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
-There's some in notes and there's a few in £1 coins. -Right. OK, fine. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
Well, I'll trust you, no need to count all that lot out. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:05 | |
-No. -Now, Ems, which was your favourite piece, baby? | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
The light fitting, unusual, an acquired taste, | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
but I think it will sell well. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:13 | |
-Yes, quite sparky, right? -I like it. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
Yes, that's electricity for you. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
-Anyway, we know that you love the Poole. -I love the Poole, yes. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
So that's OK, super. The die is cast, Charles. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
-Thank you, Tim. -Here's your moment in your Beatle mania suit. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
-Thank you very much. -Anyway, there you go, boy. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
You've got £65 on you, don't go buying another suit with it, | 0:23:28 | 0:23:32 | |
and off you go and very, very, very good luck, girls. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
Now our next mission is to go to Newby Hall where you are going to have a treat beyond compare. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:42 | |
This stately home in North Yorkshire has a lot to shout about. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:55 | |
It's simply busting with remarkable and unique treasures, | 0:23:55 | 0:24:01 | |
including a world-class collection of chamber pots. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:06 | |
In fact, the collection of chamber pots at Newby Hall | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
has to be one of the most extensive and important in Great Britain. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:16 | |
But why would anybody set out to collect such an obscure subject as chamber pots? | 0:24:16 | 0:24:21 | |
Well, actually they can be most amusing objects. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
If we take this one from the collection, at first sight | 0:24:25 | 0:24:29 | |
this is the most boring gazunder, jerry, po, peepee pot | 0:24:29 | 0:24:36 | |
that you have ever seen, completely plain, | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
made in Staffordshire by the million, | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
but if I turn it towards you, you see that it's got a transfer print. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:47 | |
No ordinary geezer this, this is W. E. Gladstone, | 0:24:47 | 0:24:51 | |
oft Prime Minister of Britain, | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
and for every person who loved Gladstone there would be | 0:24:54 | 0:24:58 | |
another who hated him, and on that basis using this | 0:24:58 | 0:25:02 | |
every time you had a call of nature would give you an intense amusement. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:08 | |
This one is made in Sunderland in the Northeast, | 0:25:08 | 0:25:13 | |
and it's got a motto on the outside. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
It says "To the wife, dear lovely wife, | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
"we'll laugh and wizz-wizz and then to bed." | 0:25:20 | 0:25:26 | |
Isn't that ridiculous? | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
Well, it doesn't stop there because when I turn it over, look at that! | 0:25:29 | 0:25:34 | |
That brown lump on the side is not what you think it might be, | 0:25:34 | 0:25:38 | |
it's actually a modelled frog. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:40 | |
And just as the Staffordshire and northeastern potters produced tankards and mugs with frogs | 0:25:40 | 0:25:48 | |
nestling in the bottom of them, to cause some shock horror, | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
so they did with some of these jerries. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
But how would this work in polite society? | 0:25:54 | 0:25:58 | |
Well, we've got a dining table laid out as it would look in 1820 | 0:25:58 | 0:26:02 | |
or 1840, if you had a call of nature for a bloke | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
you'd simply get up from the dining table, | 0:26:05 | 0:26:07 | |
you'd shuffle off into the corner of the room | 0:26:07 | 0:26:10 | |
where there normally would be a screen. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
Behind the screen would be a table with half a dozen of these things, | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
you'd just go round the corner and... | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
WHISTLES | 0:26:19 | 0:26:20 | |
..the job's done. It's marvellous, isn't it? | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
However, things were slightly differently ordered for the women folk, | 0:26:23 | 0:26:28 | |
they had the opportunity of using one of these things. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:33 | |
Now, it looks rather like a bit of dinnerware, doesn't it? | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
It looks like the sort of thing you'd have your gravy in. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:40 | |
In fact, this is called a Bourdaloue, | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
so named after a preacher who preached such boring sermons | 0:26:43 | 0:26:48 | |
to the likes of Louis XIV, that when the women felt the call of nature, | 0:26:48 | 0:26:53 | |
they couldn't leave church and they called for one of these, the Bourdaloue. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:59 | |
In our dining room, for example, the lady sitting here, | 0:26:59 | 0:27:02 | |
if she felt that she simply couldn't contain herself any longer, | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
she'd say to the footman, "Excuse me, I could do with a Bourdaloue," | 0:27:06 | 0:27:11 | |
he'd trot off and get one of these. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
She would, while sitting at the table, do the business, | 0:27:13 | 0:27:17 | |
put a little cloth on the top | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
and hand it back to the footman to cart off. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
Of course, the big question today is, | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
will our teams over at the auction be going potty? | 0:27:24 | 0:27:28 | |
We're in Leyburn with auctioneer Rodney Tennant, | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
nothing potty about him, where our teams have everything crossed for a good sale. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:37 | |
But remember I sent our experts off to fish out a bonus buy, | 0:27:37 | 0:27:42 | |
well let's discover what Philip landed for the Reds. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
Well, girls, you spent £120, you gave 180 smackers to the old boy, what did he buy? | 0:27:45 | 0:27:53 | |
Well, I normally only spent a fiver, but I went sort of... | 0:27:53 | 0:27:57 | |
I bought that. There's a face of continuing disapproval, isn't it? | 0:27:57 | 0:28:01 | |
An occasional table. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
-Yes, occasional table or etagere. -Yes. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
I wasn't sure of the wood. I thought it was maple, would you agree? | 0:28:06 | 0:28:10 | |
It's that bird's-eye maple, isn't it? | 0:28:10 | 0:28:12 | |
It's all there, unlike a lot of us who appear on this programme, | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
but it's a bit wobbly-dobbly and it needs gluing up and tightening up. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:21 | |
I paid £95 for that, it's probably, I would think, around 1900, | 0:28:21 | 0:28:28 | |
something like that, but I don't think that's dear. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
Now she's laughing at me again. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
Nicola, stop laughing at him. He hates being laughed at. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
Once it's been polished up and tidied up, I can see that at hopefully three figures. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:41 | |
-Hmm. -Are you convinced, Nic? | 0:28:41 | 0:28:44 | |
I actually quite like it, I'm just concerned that it is a bit... | 0:28:44 | 0:28:47 | |
-Wibbly-wobbly? -Yes, but I do actually quite like it. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:50 | |
-What about you, Lauren? -I'll have a think about it. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:54 | |
That's a no, then. | 0:28:54 | 0:28:56 | |
Well, that's the whole point, you don't have to pick right now, | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
your choice will come after the sale of your first three items. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:02 | |
But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the wibbly-wobbly etagere. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:09 | |
Hello, Tim, it's always nice to welcome you. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:12 | |
It's a treat to be here, I can't tell you. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:14 | |
Now, first up for out Red team, as if by magic, our two-tier etagere. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:21 | |
That's the bonus buy, Rodney, what do you think? | 0:29:21 | 0:29:23 | |
Not a lot, in three words. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:25 | |
I think the tiers, the trays themselves, are period. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:30 | |
-Those are old? -Yes, they're old, | 0:29:30 | 0:29:32 | |
but it's been cobbled together | 0:29:32 | 0:29:34 | |
with new supports, new legs, in my opinion. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:38 | |
Well, they do look rather weedy in colour, I have to say. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:41 | |
I think it's been cobbled together. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:43 | |
I'm getting a bad feeling about Philip Serrell's | 0:29:43 | 0:29:46 | |
bonus buy. I thought it was quite nice till you pointed that out. | 0:29:46 | 0:29:49 | |
What's your estimate? | 0:29:49 | 0:29:50 | |
-30 to 40. -£95 paid, and he reckons he's going to make money on £95. | 0:29:50 | 0:29:55 | |
Now, we've got these two printing blocks, | 0:29:55 | 0:29:58 | |
Incredible care and skill and craftsmanship | 0:29:58 | 0:30:02 | |
have been lavished on these blocks for the purpose of printing, | 0:30:02 | 0:30:06 | |
but what do you do with them now? | 0:30:06 | 0:30:08 | |
One is initialled. If anybody could identify the engraver, | 0:30:08 | 0:30:12 | |
then it's a different kettle of fish, but I think, | 0:30:12 | 0:30:15 | |
if you can't do that, they're dead in the water - £10 to £20? | 0:30:15 | 0:30:19 | |
Is that all? Well, our team will be delighted with that, | 0:30:19 | 0:30:22 | |
because they only paid £12. | 0:30:22 | 0:30:24 | |
-Oh, well, that's good. -Anything more than 12, we're on a winner there. | 0:30:24 | 0:30:28 | |
They're worth that as paperweights if nothing else. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
Next is the Royal Worcester little comport, signed, | 0:30:30 | 0:30:35 | |
and I quite like the speckled green and all that. How do you rate it? | 0:30:35 | 0:30:39 | |
That's a typical thing you'd see in tea services of the period. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |
It's a bit unusual, really, to get a small tart dish that's hand-painted as well by Rushton. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:48 | |
It could make over 100, but we would tend to err on the £60 to £80 side. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:53 | |
Fair enough, £70 paid. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:54 | |
Yes, well bought, I think. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:57 | |
Well bought. And their last item is the little vesta case, | 0:30:57 | 0:31:00 | |
-and so many of those are just plain boring rectangular jobs. -They are. | 0:31:00 | 0:31:04 | |
-This is a bit special. -Better shape. | 0:31:04 | 0:31:06 | |
Sometimes when things have got initials on, | 0:31:06 | 0:31:09 | |
it detracts from the value, but that doesn't in that case. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:12 | |
-How much? -It'd make £15 to £25. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:16 | |
OK, £38 they paid. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
But apart from going slightly overboard on the vesta case perhaps, | 0:31:18 | 0:31:22 | |
they've done pretty well. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues, | 0:31:25 | 0:31:27 | |
and what a wacky collection of stuff they've got. | 0:31:27 | 0:31:30 | |
For a kick-off we've got this Chinese restaurant lantern. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:35 | |
I have to say I think I'm quite partial to this, | 0:31:35 | 0:31:37 | |
I think it's good fun. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:39 | |
You used to see a lot of them in the houses in the '30s, '40s. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:42 | |
They wouldn't fit into your modern house in any way, shape, or form. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:46 | |
I think it's going to be of limited value. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:50 | |
I would have thought it's in the £35 to £45 bracket. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:54 | |
-Brilliant, £35 they paid. -They should be all right. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:57 | |
Next is the Victorian oval and seed pearl-encrusted brooch. | 0:31:57 | 0:32:02 | |
The whole thing's very good quality, but it's embellished | 0:32:02 | 0:32:06 | |
with these gold hearts all the way around, | 0:32:06 | 0:32:08 | |
which takes it into a different market, I think. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:12 | |
-It's romantic. -Well, that's the word, I think you're right. It is. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:15 | |
So with all that romance all wrapped into this better quality object...? | 0:32:15 | 0:32:19 | |
-Still only £40 to £60. -Really? | 0:32:19 | 0:32:21 | |
Oh, blast. Anyway, no, they paid 50, so they'll be delighted with that. | 0:32:21 | 0:32:25 | |
-Right, bang on. -Lastly, the two Poole chargers. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:29 | |
Now, Poole is not my most favourite pottery, | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
but I'd love to know what you think. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:34 | |
Well, sadly at the moment, it's trends, isn't it? | 0:32:34 | 0:32:37 | |
And at the moment, it doesn't seem to be anybody's favourite pottery. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:41 | |
It really has hit a bit of a low, | 0:32:41 | 0:32:44 | |
and if I owned any, I would hang onto it, | 0:32:44 | 0:32:47 | |
because I'm sure it will come back. But a pair of those now, | 0:32:47 | 0:32:51 | |
whereas I wouldn't have hesitated in saying 150 to 200, | 0:32:51 | 0:32:54 | |
I would halve that now and say 70 to 100. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:58 | |
-£70 to £100. -Just being on the conservative side. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:01 | |
Yes, well they paid 150. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:02 | |
That's what they're worth, but what they make at auction is a different thing. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:07 | |
On that happy note, they're definitely going to need their bonus buy, so let's have a look at it. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:12 | |
Now, Ems and Claire, you spent a magnificent £235, | 0:33:14 | 0:33:18 | |
you gave £65 to Carlos, what did he spend your cash on? | 0:33:18 | 0:33:21 | |
I spent almost all of it, I spent £55 on a petite, pretty, shiny, and attractive, like you two... | 0:33:21 | 0:33:29 | |
Well, not petite. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:32 | |
Six very, very fine silver embossed buttons, Edwardian, they're 1901. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:37 | |
They're beautifully embossed with Reynolds' angels and cherubs' heads | 0:33:37 | 0:33:41 | |
and the hallmark of Birmingham. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:44 | |
-And how much did you pay for them? -£55. | 0:33:44 | 0:33:47 | |
-On a good day, I can see them making £70 or £80. -Oh, wow. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:51 | |
But look at the case, it's worn, it's tired. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:55 | |
-Just like us. -We're going back to the great | 0:33:55 | 0:33:57 | |
Edwardian period of extravagance and quality, and they are nice. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:02 | |
They are very pretty, it's just a case of are there going to be two | 0:34:02 | 0:34:07 | |
people at auction today who are going to fight for them, and I'm unsure. | 0:34:07 | 0:34:12 | |
You're going to do so well in the auction. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:15 | |
-It's nearly £10 a button, isn't it? -£10 a button. -Well, £9. | 0:34:15 | 0:34:18 | |
You could get a blazer for that these days. | 0:34:18 | 0:34:21 | |
£9 a button, but you don't have to decide now, you decide later. | 0:34:21 | 0:34:27 | |
But for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Charles's little buttons. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:34 | |
So, Rodney, you've heard of the expression to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth, | 0:34:34 | 0:34:38 | |
I'm not sure what you were if you were born with these silver buttons on your blouse. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:43 | |
They're rather smart. Could prove to be a bargain if they're only £40 to £60. | 0:34:43 | 0:34:47 | |
Is that your estimate? | 0:34:47 | 0:34:49 | |
They should make more than that, £40 to £60. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:52 | |
You feel that, it's cast, isn't it? | 0:34:52 | 0:34:54 | |
Yes, it is. They're very, very good quality. | 0:34:54 | 0:34:57 | |
£55 was paid by Charles Hanson. | 0:34:57 | 0:34:59 | |
Oh, that's fine. Textiles and fashion as a whole, and clothing, is increasing in value all the time. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:07 | |
You're obviously in a very bullish mood, Rodney. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:10 | |
I am, I am. Let's just see what happens very shortly. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:13 | |
Very shortly. Thank you very much. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:15 | |
-Excited, girls? -Yes. -Yes, very. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:21 | |
On the scale of excitement, would you say you're up around the ten? | 0:35:21 | 0:35:26 | |
-I'd say 11 or 12. -Definitely, yes. | 0:35:26 | 0:35:28 | |
We could have a certain amount of frenzy in a minute. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:31 | |
Good. First up are your engraving blocks, and here they come. | 0:35:31 | 0:35:36 | |
£50? £20. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:39 | |
20 bid on my right, £20, interesting items. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:44 | |
30, 40, 50, 60. | 0:35:44 | 0:35:46 | |
£60, still on my right at 60. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:50 | |
On my right, one of them's initialled. | 0:35:50 | 0:35:52 | |
£60 on my right, anybody else? | 0:35:52 | 0:35:55 | |
All done this time at £60. Going, going... | 0:35:55 | 0:35:59 | |
-Well done! £60, you've made 48 on your first item. -That's excellent. | 0:35:59 | 0:36:03 | |
I can't bear it! | 0:36:03 | 0:36:05 | |
Royal Worcester hand-painted there by Rushton, start me at £50, | 0:36:06 | 0:36:10 | |
hand-painted Royal Worcester. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:12 | |
50 bid right down here, £50. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:16 | |
60, 70, 80, 90. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:18 | |
Down here at 90, anyone else? | 0:36:18 | 0:36:20 | |
Are you all done? For the last time at £90. | 0:36:20 | 0:36:23 | |
£90 is plus 20, inexpensive or not, it's still plus 20. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:28 | |
Rather a nice vesta case here. £30. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:31 | |
30 bid, thank you, sir, at £30. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:34 | |
40 where? At £30 only bid... | 0:36:34 | 0:36:36 | |
all done at 30. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:38 | |
-40. £40 on the aisle. -You're in profit on that. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:41 | |
Lady's bid this time on the aisle at 40. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:44 | |
We're out over there and down here. All done. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:47 | |
-I can't believe that. -That's plus £2. You've got £70, girls. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:51 | |
You spent £120 and you've made £70. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:55 | |
You are up £70. | 0:36:55 | 0:36:57 | |
Now the wibbly-wobbly table comes in at a cost of £95, you have £70. | 0:36:57 | 0:37:03 | |
You could ring-fence that profit and stop worrying about it. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:07 | |
Are you feeling confident? | 0:37:07 | 0:37:09 | |
I can't give you any help at all. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:11 | |
I think we should keep what we've got and stick with that, no offense. | 0:37:11 | 0:37:15 | |
I'm with you all the way, girls, I'm with you all the way. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:18 | |
-You've done us well so far, but... -You're not going to go with it? | 0:37:18 | 0:37:21 | |
-I'm happy with that. -Not going to go with it. -We'll leave it. | 0:37:21 | 0:37:24 | |
Now I can tell you that the auctioneer's estimate is £30 to £40. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:30 | |
Now, this could be wrong, right, and Phil could be well in there, | 0:37:30 | 0:37:33 | |
and this could make a substantial profit, | 0:37:33 | 0:37:36 | |
but whatever happens, we're going to sell it anyway. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:39 | |
Burr maple, two-tier etagere £20. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:42 | |
Anybody at 20? | 0:37:42 | 0:37:44 | |
20 bid right at the very back at £20. At 20. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:47 | |
30 where? Are you all done this time at £20... | 0:37:47 | 0:37:51 | |
30, 40. Anyone else, are you all done this time at £40? | 0:37:51 | 0:37:56 | |
Good decision, girls. | 0:37:56 | 0:37:57 | |
That's excellent. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:00 | |
£40, that is minus £55, I'm afraid, on the bonus buy. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:07 | |
-So just as well you didn't go with it. -Good call. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:10 | |
Good call, you are plus 70. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:12 | |
Now, that could well be a winning score, all right, | 0:38:12 | 0:38:15 | |
-so don't say a word to the Blues. -Fingers crossed. | 0:38:15 | 0:38:18 | |
No need to ruin their day, eh? | 0:38:18 | 0:38:19 | |
So, Emma and Claire, what is this Mini-Me doing here? | 0:38:26 | 0:38:30 | |
-It's my youngest child. -Who's called? | 0:38:30 | 0:38:33 | |
-Freddie. -Hi, Freddie. How are you doing, all right? | 0:38:33 | 0:38:36 | |
-Yes. -That is a smashing bow tie, I have to say. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:40 | |
Now, you've brought Freddie with you why? | 0:38:40 | 0:38:43 | |
-He's our good-luck mascot. -Oh, is he? -Yes. -Well, he's extremely smart. | 0:38:43 | 0:38:48 | |
-Thank you. -I hope he does bring you luck today. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:50 | |
-Thank you. -We might need it. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:52 | |
Here comes your Moorish lamp. | 0:38:52 | 0:38:54 | |
50. £50 bid thank you, £50 bid... | 0:38:54 | 0:38:58 | |
60, 70, 80, at £80 on the aisle. At £80. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:04 | |
80, a lady's bid. 90, 100. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:07 | |
£100. Still on the aisle at £100. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:11 | |
I say, £65 up. Oh, your luck's in. Now the brooch. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:19 | |
Seed pearl and gold with the hearts on it, £100. 50, 20 bid. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:23 | |
£20 only bid, at £20. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:25 | |
-Oh, no. -No. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:27 | |
At £20. 30, 40. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:29 | |
50, £50 on my right. Your bid at £50, all done? | 0:39:29 | 0:39:35 | |
The bid is on my right at £50. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:38 | |
-Oh, no. -Once more, for the last time. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:40 | |
That is a shame. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:42 | |
£50, no shame. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:44 | |
It should have gone for more. | 0:39:44 | 0:39:46 | |
-Two fingers crossed, Freddie. -I'm crossing my legs and my fingers. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:51 | |
Here we go. | 0:39:51 | 0:39:53 | |
Designed by Alan Clarke | 0:39:53 | 0:39:54 | |
at Poole down in Dorset, | 0:39:54 | 0:39:58 | |
start me where you will, £150 for the pair, £100. £50, then. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:02 | |
-Come on. -50 bid, thank you. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:04 | |
£50 bid for the pair of them. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:06 | |
-Surely. -£50. 60 where? -Come on. -60. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
70, 80. At £80 to my left. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:13 | |
-Come on, more. -At £80 the pair, they might be unfashionable at the moment | 0:40:13 | 0:40:18 | |
but they will come back. At £80 on the left. 90. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:22 | |
-Come on! -Are you all done? | 0:40:22 | 0:40:24 | |
-No, a bit more please. -For the very last time at £100, all done. | 0:40:24 | 0:40:29 | |
£100, that's minus £50 on that, you are £15 up. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:34 | |
-Go for it. -No. -Go for it. -No. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:35 | |
Well done, Freddie, keep the cross going. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:38 | |
-Go for it. -No, we'll stick. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:40 | |
They're really buoyant. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:42 | |
They're not that buoyant, are they? | 0:40:42 | 0:40:44 | |
-You think they're worth it? -No, Claire. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:46 | |
The brooch, which is nicer than the buttons, went for 50. | 0:40:46 | 0:40:50 | |
-Are you sure? Come on. -No. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:51 | |
We could lose our £15 profit, wiped out. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:55 | |
-Life's too short, eh, Freddie? -That's £7.50 for the NSPCC. We'll stay. | 0:40:55 | 0:40:59 | |
-They're nice. -They're not that nice. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:01 | |
You want to shake, rattle and roll a bit, don't you? | 0:41:01 | 0:41:04 | |
No, thanks. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:07 | |
Well, thanks for inviting me. | 0:41:07 | 0:41:09 | |
Glad you could come for the ride. | 0:41:09 | 0:41:11 | |
No bonus buy, we're going to sell it anyway. | 0:41:11 | 0:41:14 | |
Cased set, the original case, £50. | 0:41:14 | 0:41:17 | |
Bid at £50, any bid, at £60. | 0:41:17 | 0:41:19 | |
70. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:21 | |
80, 90. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:24 | |
-100. -Oh, Charles. | 0:41:24 | 0:41:25 | |
-100. -I told you, I told you! | 0:41:25 | 0:41:27 | |
100. £100, at £100. Are you all done this time? | 0:41:27 | 0:41:33 | |
£100. | 0:41:35 | 0:41:36 | |
-That is plus £45. -Well done, Charles. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:39 | |
If they'd listened to me, hey Freddie. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:41 | |
-Don't tell the Reds a thing. -No. -All will be revealed in a moment. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:45 | |
-Right. -All right. Thank you. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:46 | |
-You did great. -I'm sorry. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:48 | |
It doesn't matter. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:50 | |
It's lovely to be handing out cash to both teams, it's just a question of scale. | 0:41:55 | 0:42:01 | |
And as it has today, this sometimes boils down to whether | 0:42:01 | 0:42:04 | |
you go with the bonus buy or not, | 0:42:04 | 0:42:07 | |
and I'm sorry to reveal that the runners-up today are the Blues. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:11 | |
Who are going to go home with £15. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:16 | |
Freddie, I'm going to hand that to you. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:18 | |
You can sort out how you split it between your relations. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:22 | |
But it's a tragedy, because Charles did incredibly well with the bonus buy. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:26 | |
-He did, he did. -Actually, as far as the maths is concerned, it wouldn't have put you in a winning position. | 0:42:26 | 0:42:32 | |
-Really? -But the victors, yes, who are going to go home with £70. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:40 | |
70 smackers, there you go, look. There's your 70. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:43 | |
Look, that's folding money, isn't it? | 0:42:43 | 0:42:45 | |
-Are you pleased about that? -Yes. | 0:42:45 | 0:42:47 | |
-What about you, Lauren? -Ecstatic. I can't believe it. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:50 | |
-It's a serious amount of dosh, isn't it? -Yes, thanks to our expert. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:54 | |
Well, that's very noble of you, isn't it? | 0:42:54 | 0:42:56 | |
-It's a team effort, though. -Absolutely. | 0:42:56 | 0:42:59 | |
Anyway, we've had a fab show, | 0:42:59 | 0:43:00 | |
-join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes? -Yes! | 0:43:00 | 0:43:04 | |
