0:00:02 > 0:00:08There are thousands of antiques and collectables here, waiting to be discovered.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11So, what are you waiting for?
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Today, we're at the...
0:00:39 > 0:00:43..on the outskirts of Edinburgh, it's a real family day.
0:00:43 > 0:00:49Will our teams find three quality items in an hour? Let's find out!
0:00:50 > 0:00:54'They've got bucket-loads of enthusiasm...'
0:00:54 > 0:01:00I've never ever come across a stallholder who wasn't prepared to come down a wee bit.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02'..but very different styles.'
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Don't look at me like that! Definitely.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11'I think it's time to be introduced.'
0:01:11 > 0:01:13So, Brenda and Nora,
0:01:13 > 0:01:17you're two sisters and you come from a big family.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Absolutely, there was eight children,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22my mum and dad, animals and pets.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Nora and I are in the middle.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- You're retired now?- Yes. Uh-huh. - What did you do as a job?
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Well, I started off as a nurse, a theatre sister for 18 years.
0:01:33 > 0:01:40Then I became a midwife and knew that's what I should have been doing for ever. Loved it!
0:01:40 > 0:01:45- How many years were you a midwife? - About 22.- 22 and 18....?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Don't do this!
0:01:47 > 0:01:51My dear girl, you worked for the Health Service...
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Yeah.- ..for a long time! 40 years! - 40 years.- That is amazing.
0:01:55 > 0:02:01- Did you get a medal?- No. I got a thank you and a wee tea.- Wee tea?
0:02:01 > 0:02:06You should have had an enormous gold medal. So, Nora - or flaming Nora?
0:02:06 > 0:02:13- Well...- It's better than the other one. But, Nora, you've got a story about Blackie?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Oh, good. Blackie. - Tell me about Blackie.
0:02:15 > 0:02:22- We found Blackie, a crow with a broken wing, a wee tiny thing. - When you were babies?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- We were about eight or nine.- Yeah.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28My mum put him in the oven... Not to cook!
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- LAUGHTER - Short of food, were you?
0:02:31 > 0:02:35She stayed up all night and fed this wee bird and he survived.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37He lived with us for five years.
0:02:37 > 0:02:44- He could count.- How many could he count to?- I figured up to four. She says ten!
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- What did he go? - SQUAWKS:- One! Two! Three!
0:02:48 > 0:02:53- He did.- I must be blessed with second sight with you two.
0:02:53 > 0:02:59We're going to have lots of fun, and very good luck, girls. Now, the father-and-daughter combo.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04- Eric and Kathryn, welcome.- Hello. - Very nice to see you.- Thank you.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Are you looking forward to it?- Yes.
0:03:06 > 0:03:14- What made you want to come on Bargain Hunt?- I was dragged round antique shops as a child.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18I used to hate it but now I love it, so just a real passion for antiques.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Did you pick up knowledge when you were a nipper?
0:03:22 > 0:03:28- Yeah. I'm a novice compared to Dad but I'm learning.- You never stop.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31One learns every day for the rest of your life.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Which is good fun.- Yeah.- Now, Eric.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Tell us about your experiences with these antiques.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42I've always been interested in antiques but my latest incarnation
0:03:42 > 0:03:46is browsing internet sites, hunting for Arts and Crafts jewellery.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- Finding things very reasonably? - Absolutely.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52A couple of years ago...
0:03:52 > 0:03:57Obviously, you're looking all over the world, and I spotted this piece
0:03:57 > 0:04:01in British Columbia in Canada, and I recognised it instantly
0:04:01 > 0:04:05as a piece of Dorrie Nossiter jewellery.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08So I put a bid on, was the only bidder, £45.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13I had it valued about three months ago at £1,200.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- That's a pretty good bargain. - £45 to £1,200!
0:04:16 > 0:04:20You're my man on this programme! Brilliant!
0:04:20 > 0:04:23A tremendous show today! First, the money moment.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Here's your £300.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30You're ready for that! Get our mitts off for this!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Thank you very much. - £300 for you, darling.
0:04:32 > 0:04:38You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go, and very, very, very good luck.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43Cor! £45 to £1,200, eh? We're in for a bit of fun today!
0:04:44 > 0:04:47'And so are our experts.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52'Ever-ready David Barby is helping the red team.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56'And bright-eyed Charlie Hanson's taking on the blues. Woof!'
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- I like quality, well-crafted - Unusual objects as well.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Yeah. Love quirky.- I like quirky.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- What's the plan? - Um... Just buy low, sell high.- Fine.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Whatever you see, don't be afraid to ask,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17because the art is in the asking.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18Absolutely.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22'Come on, Charles. Show us how it's done.'
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- May we look at your stand? Do you mind? - Not at all! >
0:05:26 > 0:05:28'Such a well brought-up boy!'
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Oh, yeah. That looks nice.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Wood violet? For a chemist? - Can you smell anything?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- It's a chemist's bottle! - Let's smell it.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- Very faint.- Let me smell.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Is there a stopper for it?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Is it the original stopper? The original stopper.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56- How old would you say that is? - About 1900.- I like that.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00I like the plainness and it's functional. What is wood violet?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03It's a perfume. It's an essence.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- Remember Mum used to send us down to the chemist?- That fits beautifully!
0:06:08 > 0:06:14You've got opaque glass applied onto the clear glass in its molten form.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Then it's been engraved, in other words, cut away.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Gilded - you can see the traces of gilding.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25People buy these now, put them in the bathroom.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I think that's lovely.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- I love it.- How much?
0:06:29 > 0:06:33I'll come down to 28. Maybe 25?
0:06:33 > 0:06:3524. 24.
0:06:35 > 0:06:3724. Is that...?
0:06:37 > 0:06:42- I think, if you can get it down... - To about 20?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:06:42 > 0:06:4420 would be good.
0:06:44 > 0:06:4720 would be good. Yes. All right.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50£20. Well spotted.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53'Well, you girls aren't wasting any time!'
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- That's Arts and Crafts, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Small agate there, and the lapis.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Nice Edwardian piece for only £28.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07What do you think, Kathryn?
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- It's not my kind of thing. - I'm looking for a bit of style...
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- You're not seeing it?- No. - Let's move on.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Time is ticking. - Thanks, but no thanks.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21'Looking for style takes time, guys.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27'Meanwhile, the reds are speeding through the fair.'
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Very cheaply made.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Do you like that?- No.- No!
0:07:38 > 0:07:41A catfish, £100. It sits very well.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45It probably is 1890.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47But you want that extra...
0:07:47 > 0:07:52I'm looking for something that sings to me. It's not doing it.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Your dad's got it.- Yeah. - But that hasn't!
0:07:55 > 0:07:58'You want it all, don't you?'
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Could we have a look at the vases, please?
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Thank you.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08I'll just point out, this one's got a flaw, but it's not through.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- I think that's a firing... - In manufacturing?
0:08:11 > 0:08:16Yes. It's a Midland company. I think it's a Henry Tooth.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19He produced..."economical artware",
0:08:19 > 0:08:22but he produced it for the middle classes.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- These, I think, are so stylish. - They are!
0:08:26 > 0:08:31In the Arts and Crafts manner. To have a pair is very nice.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- What age is on these, then? - Let's look at the mark.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38About 1905, 1910.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- To be on a mantelpiece? - But just imagine...
0:08:42 > 0:08:46A white painted room, a white mantelpiece and these two vases.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- I love them. - I really like them, David.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52There's a wee crack there.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56It doesn't go all the way through, but it is a problem.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- They're 135 the pair.- 135 the pair.
0:08:59 > 0:09:05When I first saw them, I thought about 100, but I think,
0:09:05 > 0:09:09with that slight defect - which isn't too detrimental.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14Can we just point out, there is that there and that there.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- Yes.- What's the best you can do?
0:09:16 > 0:09:21I actually missed that one. I would come down to 90 in that case.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- Can you tuck them under that? - We had 80 in our head.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Um... We were thinking 80.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Yes. OK.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- And that is the lowest? - Definitely.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Don't look at me like that. Definitely.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Super.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44'Well done, you girls. Two down.'
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Novelty's always great to see! - We think it's American. >
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Do you think it's quite new? - I don't know. >
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Do you like it?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- I don't want to live with it! - What's it worth?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01About £35.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03And between friends?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05The same. >
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- 35, yeah. - You won't take 30?- No.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I quite like that. Have a feel.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- It's heavier than it looks. - Good quality.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I might be "quackers",
0:10:20 > 0:10:25but for the first time ever, I might say it could be a bargain.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28For Hanson to say that, it's not a frequent occurrence.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Do you think it would fetch that at auction?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34If it came into my sale tomorrow,
0:10:34 > 0:10:38in the heart of England, where things are a bit more expensive,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I would say it's worth between...
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- 50 and 70.- I was going to say 60. - There you go.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- Right, that's a good... - I quite like it.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Madam, the absolute best?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- Yes. - The absolute best.
0:10:53 > 0:10:59I've never, ever, ever come across a stallholder who wasn't prepared to come down a wee bit.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02It's cheap!
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- I'm a Scotsman. Please? - It's a silver top. Come on.
0:11:06 > 0:11:12If it's not very old, it might only be worth £40 but to me...
0:11:12 > 0:11:14We're still ahead, then.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16OK. Yes.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Shall we buy him? Yes, we should. - LAUGHTER
0:11:19 > 0:11:22We'll take it, then.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- WHISTLES - 'They've broken their duck!
0:11:27 > 0:11:31'Now, I've found something simply divine.'
0:11:31 > 0:11:33What we've got here is,
0:11:33 > 0:11:35surprise, surprise, a preacher.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39This is a representation of John Wesley,
0:11:39 > 0:11:42founder of the Methodist Church.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Here he is, wearing his surplice,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48with a white long cravat.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51And he's holding up his arms,
0:11:51 > 0:11:55going "Praise! Praise! Praise to the Lord!"
0:11:55 > 0:12:01The most inspirational open-air preacher of the 18th century
0:12:01 > 0:12:04is doing his stuff in this object.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11It's been knocked about a bit, but is pretty well complete.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Put it simply, the thing looks a bit wacky.
0:12:14 > 0:12:20But if I turn it up, you get the idea as to what this might be.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23What you've got underneath there
0:12:23 > 0:12:26is the socket of a joint.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29And what you've got here
0:12:29 > 0:12:32is the other end of that joint.
0:12:32 > 0:12:38In other words, a series of these joined together
0:12:38 > 0:12:42would go to make up the spine of an old horse.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46It's the fourth vertebra from a horse.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Back in 1800, when this was created,
0:12:50 > 0:12:52you threw nothing away.
0:12:52 > 0:12:58And because it looks like a preacher standing up and exalting God,
0:12:58 > 0:13:02the farmers turned them into little religious icons.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04What will a collector pay
0:13:04 > 0:13:10for a fourth vertebra from a long-since dead horse?
0:13:10 > 0:13:14It could be yours for £200. Oh, do stop nagging!
0:13:14 > 0:13:19- HORSE NEIGHS - 'Let's get back to the teams.'
0:13:19 > 0:13:25I can't believe, you're such whirlwinds, we got two items in 17 minutes.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- What core thing do you want?- I would like to get a piece of jewellery.
0:13:30 > 0:13:37We'd end up buying something that we liked, but that's kind of what I know, kind of, a little about.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41'Blues, you kind of need to get a move on.'
0:13:41 > 0:13:45I recognise these immediately. These are Doulton.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50This is quite good. This is my taste and I must not influence you.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55- I wouldn't be drawn to them. - I can't see that selling in Glasgow.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Right. Lead on, Macduff.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03- Kathryn, why do you like it? - I love seed pearls.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- I love the shape. It's so delicate. - So romantic.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Your daughter's, "Dad, I want it!" What's it worth?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- What are you asking for it? - 330. >
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- It's a lot of money. - It's a lot of money.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- What's the appeal for you? - I know what it is.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- I use a thurible in church. - Do you?- I do.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35I look after the alter servers, who use thuribles,
0:14:35 > 0:14:37so I know how it works.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40You have a chain that goes through here.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45The alter server holds it with a chain,
0:14:45 > 0:14:50lifts the chain up, it hangs, and you have charcoal inside.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Then you put the incense inside.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56I used to be an alter boy!
0:14:56 > 0:14:58You know about that, then.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Then you stand and pretend that it's making you cough!
0:15:02 > 0:15:06We're more of a secular society.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- I know.- What use would you find it today? Would you use that?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I would use it with a candle.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- I can see this more secular use. - Yes.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18I can see a candle in there,
0:15:18 > 0:15:23either a sweet-smelling one or just to flicker away at a meal time.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26The light would come out nicely.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31- The thing I like is its gothic quality.- You're right.
0:15:31 > 0:15:37- How much?- Hundred.- £100. I'll see if I can negotiate another figure.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42We haven't got the chain, although I don't think that really matters.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- Good luck.- I like it.- It's lovely.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51'David, you've pulled off a minor miracle.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55'£65 for a thurible, and they're all done.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57'Catch up, blues!'
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- This jewellery here.- I love that. - Look at this, Eric.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Have you got any lipstick? > - That's really stylish.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07It's from New York. 1930s. >
0:16:07 > 0:16:12- Is it hallmarked sterling? - I think it's Continental. >
0:16:12 > 0:16:15It doesn't have a maker's mark on it. >
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- That's quite nice. - I really like that sort of thing.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23It's got a wee mirror, for applying your lippy.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25< For a dressing table or something.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Would it sell?
0:16:30 > 0:16:31It's...different.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35It is really quite compact and very novel.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40- It would be what age? 1930s? '50s?- I think earlier.- '30s.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44It is really, really attractive.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- The best price would be...? - Well, probably, 65.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53- Do you like it, Kat? - I do. I like Deco things, so...
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- High-brow 1930s living. - No initials on it.
0:16:56 > 0:17:02So it's really clean to a collector. We've seen how it operates.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- Hm.- 65 your best?
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- I could squeeze you down to 60! - You could squeeze me to 60.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- A gamble. - Do you think it'd be a gamble?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Yes, I do.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19My auction guide price would be a bit less, but it's quite different.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23'Be brave!
0:17:23 > 0:17:27'The red team finished ages ago. They're window shopping.'
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- I remember them. - Look at this! It still works!
0:17:31 > 0:17:36- What's that?- A wee sewing machine. Still works. Look.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- You'd need to be a dexterous child. - You would.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45'Come on, Charlie boy.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47'Give your team a hand.'
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Time is ticking, OK?- Right.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52A lipstick, yay or nay?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54For £60?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I think it's worth between £30 and £80.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- LAUGHTER - I'm sitting on the fence.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Knowing Anita Manning's increments of £10, it could make 100.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08But it could make 40.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I like it. It's unusual.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Kathryn likes it.- Yeah. Let's do it.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- For £60, is that right? - £60?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18I'll do 55.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- 55? Fabulous!- There you go. - Even better. Thank you.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- Have you shaken hands yet? - Shaken hands! 55!
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Aren't you a good sport?
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- Is it a bulldog or a boxer? - LAUGHTER
0:18:36 > 0:18:41- Isn't that a really cool clock? - Yeah.- It's really stylish.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- It's from Glasgow. - Isn't that lovely?
0:18:44 > 0:18:49A really nice mahogany and boxwood-strung mantel clock.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54- It's so Art Nouveau it almost melts. - And it's Glasgow.- Absolutely.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I think it's really stylish.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Enamel dial, Arabic numerals, nice convex glass.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05What I like so much is its form. It's almost melting.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08It's SO Art nouveau. It's 1910.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- It's at 150. To go to auction...- 120.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16I would say between 100 and 150, but I really like it.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- It's quality. - Could you do it for 100?
0:19:19 > 0:19:24- £100 is a nice reduction. - Let's do it.- You're so decisive.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27We've bought it. Thanks, sir.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- 'Better late than never, eh?' - Thanks very much, mate.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35'Now, let's recap.
0:19:36 > 0:19:42'The reds hope the wood violet bottle will blossom in the saleroom.
0:19:42 > 0:19:48'They LOVE the vibrant colour and smooth lines of the Bretby vases.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53'And they hope that bidders warm to the gothic style incense burner.'
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- That's a good shop.- It was great. - Did you enjoy it?- Loved it.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- What did you spend, overall?- 165.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06165? I'd like 135 of leftover lolly, please,
0:20:06 > 0:20:09to give to our number-one man.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13What are you going to spend all that cash on, boy?
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- Probably something Scottish. - Oh, good.- Something Scottish.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22- To play to Anita's audience with, perhaps.- And to Anita herself.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Good luck, David. Good luck, girls.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Why don't we check out what the blue team bought, eh?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30'The silver-mounted duck decanter
0:20:30 > 0:20:34'became dish of the day for Kathryn and Eric.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40'They were charmed by the lipstick compact with its green stone.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43'And they didn't waste a second
0:20:43 > 0:20:48'in picking out this lovely Art Nouveau mantel clock.'
0:20:49 > 0:20:54How lovely to see three such happy people. It's a little miracle!
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- You had a good time, Eric? - Absolutely.- Kathryn?- Brilliant.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- You spent not quite £200. - Hundred and...?- 90.- 190, yeah.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- So who's got the £110?- I have.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Old money bags over here.- Yeah.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13£110, which is lovely, going across straight to Charles.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Good amount of cash, man.- It's been a great pleasure with these two.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Enthusiasm and passion for antiques. It's been great.
0:21:21 > 0:21:27It's going to be a serious challenge to find something they're going to like and rate!
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Long may it continue, Tim, is all I'll say!
0:21:30 > 0:21:33'Well, it's been a blast.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37'But it's time to leave bonnie Scotland behind.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40'I'm visiting a London gallery
0:21:40 > 0:21:44'dedicated to the Arts and Crafts movement
0:21:44 > 0:21:46'and the designer William Morris.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49'Morris inspired his fellow artists
0:21:49 > 0:21:53'and craftsmen to promote themselves and their work through groups
0:21:53 > 0:21:55'called guilds.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59'The Century Guild is the most famous.'
0:21:59 > 0:22:02This gallery has been specifically reserved and set up
0:22:02 > 0:22:07with the production of one of those guilds, the Century Guild,
0:22:07 > 0:22:11which was begun in 1882.
0:22:11 > 0:22:17The principal founder of the Century Guild was Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20who had met William Morris
0:22:20 > 0:22:26and had become, as a result, inspired for works of art.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Mackmurdo, for example, designed this candle sconce.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32What he's done here
0:22:32 > 0:22:36is to produce two candle holders with a back plate
0:22:36 > 0:22:41that's been organised with lots of shiny reflective surfaces.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46So that the candlelight is reflected back into the room.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49But those candles sit beneath
0:22:49 > 0:22:53an intriguing embossed image, typically Arts and Crafts,
0:22:53 > 0:22:58of the Sun itself, with a happy smiley face.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01The top band of this frieze
0:23:01 > 0:23:08has been raised in repousse with moons interposed by stars.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13All very jolly and amusing for a wall lighting sconce.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Mackmurdo was something of a polymath.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20He was able to turn his hand
0:23:20 > 0:23:24not only to architecture, not only to metalwork,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27but to furniture and all the decorative arts.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31This is a piece that he designed,
0:23:31 > 0:23:36a simple oak writing table with pigeon holes.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41Incredibly simple and typical Arts and Crafts in design.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45But with these block type chimneys at the back
0:23:45 > 0:23:51and simple rectangular feet, it does have an architectural integrity.
0:23:51 > 0:23:57One of my favourite pieces is this chap, a cast bronze paperweight
0:23:57 > 0:24:03in the form of a Jenny wren that's been given a peacock's tail!
0:24:03 > 0:24:09Mackmurdo also designed this mirror for one of his rooms.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Instead of having a long, rectangular landscape plate,
0:24:13 > 0:24:17what you'd expect in an over-mantel mirror,
0:24:17 > 0:24:21he's divided that plate up into a series of smaller plates
0:24:21 > 0:24:24and then indented.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28The idea being, when you put your favourite object
0:24:28 > 0:24:30on the shelf between the mirrors,
0:24:30 > 0:24:37you can see Jenny wren paperweight from the front and the sides.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39All very clever.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41The big thing today is,
0:24:41 > 0:24:46are our teams going to be equally clever at the auction?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48On reflection, I think not.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55'A-ha! Now we're back in Scotland, at the Great Western saleroom.'
0:24:59 > 0:25:02So, we've slipped across from Edinburgh to Glasgow
0:25:02 > 0:25:06to be with Anita Manning, charming as ever.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Welcome, Tim.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11First up for the reds, we go with this perfume bottle.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13I do like this.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17I think the enamelling is good on the wood violet.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21I particularly like the fact that it is wood violet,
0:25:21 > 0:25:25because that's a flirtatious type of scent.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Really?
0:25:27 > 0:25:32This fragrance was reputed to come and go.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- What's your estimate?- 20 to 30.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39- Is that a "come-and-go" estimate? - Might be come-and-buy!
0:25:39 > 0:25:43They paid £20, so that should do pretty well.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48What about the Bretby pots? We're a long way from Derbyshire.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Glasgow loves Art Nouveau.
0:25:51 > 0:25:57We see the influence of Henry Tooth, who worked at the Linthorpe factory.
0:25:57 > 0:26:03These designs were based on some by Christopher Dresser,
0:26:03 > 0:26:09and this monochrome glaze takes us back to the Linthorpe factory.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- I like these.- What's your estimate?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- 80 to 120.- Brilliant, £80 paid.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18We're looking good with this team. How do you go with thuribles?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Well, it's nice to look at.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24It has architectural qualities.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Fine, and it's got everything that's spiky and gothic!- Yes.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32For this gothic revival business, I think it's got its charm.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35You could use it as a room perfumer.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- It has a functional use as well. - I agree.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43I like it for that. There are several aspects we like. How much?
0:26:43 > 0:26:48- 50 to 80.- Good, £65 paid, so that's very fair, isn't it?
0:26:48 > 0:26:51I think this team have done incredibly well.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56They probably won't need their Bonus Buy, but let's have a look anyway.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Brenda and Nora, you spent, darlings, £165.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04You gave David Barby £135. What did you spend it on, David?
0:27:04 > 0:27:08I wanted to buy something that was Scottish and slightly feminine.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11So I bought Scottish silver.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- An agate bracelet.- How much?
0:27:14 > 0:27:18- I paid £60.- It's really nice. - I love this carved section.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22It's typical of well-produced Scottish jewellery.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Popular from the middle of the 19th century
0:27:25 > 0:27:28into the 1920s, and still produced now.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- Is this silver?- Yes. Do handle it.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35I love the combination of semi-precious stones and silver.
0:27:35 > 0:27:41- I love the colours.- You could pick these stones up from beaches.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46Have them polished up. I think it's going to make about 80 to 100.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- I'd like to see it go over 100. - Really?
0:27:49 > 0:27:52This is a nice quality piece of Scottish jewellery.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56You don't pick it now, you pick it later.
0:27:56 > 0:28:03For the viewers, let's find out what the auctioneer, wee Anita, thinks about David's pebble bracelet.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09- Now, Anita, how glorious is that? - I love this type of thing.
0:28:09 > 0:28:16I love these agates. Every single agate is unique.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20These wonderful colours remind me of the landscape -
0:28:20 > 0:28:24the skies, the lochs, the mossy hills - of Scotland.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27They're very fashionable in today's market.
0:28:27 > 0:28:34I seem to have lit the blue touch paper there! That's got the Scotsman pulsing through her veins!
0:28:34 > 0:28:39- There's one thing that I'm a wee bitty worried about.- Oh, yeah?
0:28:39 > 0:28:44One of the communion florets is damaged. There's a split in that.
0:28:44 > 0:28:49- It's difficult to see. - Old hawk-eye spotted it!
0:28:49 > 0:28:53- What's your estimate?- 80 to 120. - Well, that's brilliant.
0:28:53 > 0:28:59- £60 was paid by David Barby. - I hope this will do well.- So do I.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02That's it for the reds. Now for the blues.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06Their first item, which Kathryn and Eric agreed on,
0:29:06 > 0:29:08was this novelty claret jug.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Well, it's great fun.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15It's a 20th-century example of an earlier type of claret jug.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18It's sterling silver, so that's good.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20I love these wacky wings!
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Which go to make the handle.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26I quite like it, but it is modern.
0:29:26 > 0:29:32Be nice to have a glass of claret out of it! I'm beginning to feel thirsty!
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- How much?- I've put 60 to 80.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39I might have been a wee bitty generous, but it is fun.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41I don't think so. They paid £35.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45I bet you, er...a small dram...
0:29:45 > 0:29:48No! A wee dram! ..it'll make the ton.
0:29:48 > 0:29:54- With your persuasive tongue, it'll make the ton, I bet ya. - I will do my very best.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58I don't wear lipstick. Much! But clearly you do!
0:29:58 > 0:30:03- How do you rate the lipstick case? - I absolutely love it.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05I think it's very glamorous.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08I love this little cabochon stone.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11When we open it up,
0:30:11 > 0:30:15we have a little mirror here, and I tested it out...
0:30:17 > 0:30:19It would make your lipstick perfect!
0:30:19 > 0:30:23Well, you'd use it. How much would you pay for it?
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- I put 40 to 60.- They paid 55, so it's in the right ball park.
0:30:27 > 0:30:32- Yeah. And it could go more. - Yes?- Yeah.- Good. We're reassured.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36Excellent. And lastly, we've got the mantel timepiece.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39I think the shape of this is very appealing.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44It's by Robert French of Glasgow, a good clock maker.
0:30:44 > 0:30:49It reflects what was happening in interiors in Glasgow at that time.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54- How do you rate it, as far as cash is concerned?- I've put £50 to £80.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58You need to give it a nudge cos they paid £100.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02Anyway, what will be will be and if the worst comes to the worst,
0:31:02 > 0:31:07they've got their Bonus Buy to fall back on. Let's have a look at it.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12Now, Kathryn and Eric, you spent a magnificent £190.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16You gave Charles £110. Charles, my boy, what did you spend it on?
0:31:16 > 0:31:21Well, Tim, they say small is beautiful. Home is at the heart.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Look at that!
0:31:24 > 0:31:29This is a small, I suppose, little souvenir book of Glasgow,
0:31:29 > 0:31:34- from the year 1901, the year Glasgow host the wonderful Exhibition.- Yeah.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39Inside are delightful monochrome views from that exhibition.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44The Great Hall, the Russian street. It's superb. What do you think?
0:31:44 > 0:31:48- I like it.- It's cute. - Often, things that are local,
0:31:48 > 0:31:50they sell well in their home town.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- How much was it?- It cost me £50.
0:31:53 > 0:31:59OK, I can see it making between £50 and £100.
0:31:59 > 0:32:04- It's lovely.- Nice one. - Happy with it?- You get it back now.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09- Do you like it, Tim?- I do. It's a very nice little collectable. Hold that memory.
0:32:09 > 0:32:15For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Charles's little book.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- There we go, Anita. That's small enough for you.- Yes.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24I think this is a lovely little item.
0:32:24 > 0:32:29This was made for the Great Exhibition of 1901.
0:32:29 > 0:32:35A splendid exhibition. This little collectable is reflecting that.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- It's the first one that I've seen. - Is it?- Yes, it is.
0:32:38 > 0:32:45Do you think that cunning man, Charles Hanson, has been clever to buy that in Edinburgh
0:32:45 > 0:32:49- and send it to Glasgow? - He's a clever boy.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54- Anyway, what's your estimate?- I put it 30 to 50.- Charles had to pay 50.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56He's paid the top end.
0:32:56 > 0:33:02If you can't do better than that, Anita, in your heartland, with a Glasgow-related object,
0:33:02 > 0:33:06about which you are passionate, I would be very surprised.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09I would have paid £50 for it.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11And that's saying something.
0:33:11 > 0:33:16Anyway, we look forward to seeing you, darling, on the rostrum.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27- Brenda and Nora, how are you, girls? - Good.- Feeling nervy?- Excited.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Not nervous, just excited.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34It is exciting because this room is stuffed with people,
0:33:34 > 0:33:39Anita is hammering away for Scotland, and we're hoping for the best.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41First lot.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Lot 51, ladies and gentlemen, a perfumer's bottle,
0:33:45 > 0:33:48with these lovely faceted shoulders
