Our continuing mission is to find buried treasures | 0:00:00 | 0:00:04 | |
up and down the length and breadth of Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Today, we've headed east to Lincolnshire, | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
so, let's go Bargain Hunting. Yeah! | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
Hopefully amongst the thousands of items | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
here at the Lincolnshire Antiques and Homes Show, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
our teams will be able to garner a few gems. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
Let's have a quick squint at what's coming up. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
The reds attempt to speak Japanese. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
SPEAKS GIBBERISH | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
"A really good deal." | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
And the blue team have a side-splitting time! | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
Ooh! Oh, no! | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
No-o-o! | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
Oh, what a disaster! | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
Now let's go and meet them. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
On Bargain Hunt today we have an aunt and niece team for the reds. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
And for the blues, we've got a couple of friends. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
Close friends. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
For the reds it's Pat and Helen, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
and for the blues it's Coco and Raj. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
-Hello, everyone. -Hello! -Lovely to see you. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
Pat, it says here you're retired. What did you do when you were working? | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
I was a shorthand typist | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
and after having children I became a nursery nurse | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
and worked with partially-sighted and moderate learning children. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:47 | |
Tell us the story about when you went to the wrong wedding. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
A colleague at work invited us to her daughter's evening reception. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:55 | |
And when I got there, the bride asked me who I was | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
and I said I worked with her mum. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
-She said, "Sorry, my mum's been dead for five years." -Oh, my! | 0:02:01 | 0:02:06 | |
-So I made a quick exit! -You were at the wrong wedding! | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
-Yes. A week early! -Absolutely incredible. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
I understand you're also passionate about collecting antiques. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
I love going to antiques fairs. I go to Newark and Peterborough. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
-All round here. -Yes. -Up the road. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
Good. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
Have you ever found any real treasure? | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
-No! -No? | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
It doesn't have to be worth a fortune. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
We'd just like you to make profits today, please, on Bargain Hunt! | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
-Yes. -Helen, what do you do to earn a crust? -I'm a hairdresser. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
-I've got a small hairdressing business. -Gents or ladies? | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
-Mostly ladies, but some gents. -Yes. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
-The older gentlemen or young ones? -Any. We don't mind! -You don't mind. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
-It says your eldest client is 93. -She is. And very sprightly she is, too. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:51 | |
-I bet she's got lovely hair. -She has. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
What about your antique knowledge? What's that like? | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
-Almost nil! -Is it? -It is, I'm afraid, yes. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
-Looking forward to spending our money today? -I am, yes! | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
-Are you? -Yes. -It's a nice idea, isn't it? -It is! | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
I hope you spend the lot. How do you think you'll get on? | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
-Brilliant. -So you're confident? -We are. -Hopefully! | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
-Not nervous about anything? -Yes! | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
-Like what? -Very nervous. -What are you nervous about? | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
The shopping will be easy. You'll find some lovely things. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
The experts are gorgeous. Wait till you see a cameraman! Ooh! | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
They're that muscley. Anyway, good luck. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
-Thank you. -Have good fun. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
Now, Coco Chanel and Raj. How are you two? | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
-Good, thank you. -Where did you first meet, Coco? | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
-We went to primary school together, actually. -You never did! | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
We reconnected when we had our first job together. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
Then we went to college together. We went to university together. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
-We lived together for a year. And here we are! -Isn't that brilliant? -Yes. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
So you know each other's tastes, then, when it comes to antiques and stuff? | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
-Yes. We're very different, aren't we? -Very. -Very different. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
Are you going to agree on anything? | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
-Probably not, but we'll share. -What do you do for a living, Coco? | 0:03:59 | 0:04:04 | |
I'm a make-up artist. I work for a leading brand within the industry. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
-I also freelance. -Is that good fun? -It's amazing. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
I love it so much. It provides me with so many opportunities. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
-Raj, it says here you're good with numbers. -That's correct, Tim. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
I did Accounting and Finance at uni. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
I'm currently working with my dad who's a chartered certified accountant. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:28 | |
What side of accountancy do you like? The tax, or what? | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
-Yeah, I do like tax. -I hate the tax! | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
What are you going to buy today? | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
-I have an interest in clocks. -Are you with him with this, Coco? | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
-In the clock department? -She has to be. -This is his department. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
-You're going to go with the flow, are you? -Yes. I'm more into French furniture and pretty things. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:49 | |
-Anything to do with make-up. Compacts. -Oh, God, yes. -Lipsticks, all that kind of stuff. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
There are lovely things to buy out there. This is going to be exciting. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
Good. £300 apiece. The money moment. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
There's your £300. You know the rules. Your experts await. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
And off you go! And very, very good luck! | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
I really do hate paying the tax! | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
So, who's helping out the teams today? | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
Battling on behalf of the reds is expert David Harper. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
And on sparkling form for the blues is fellow expert Kate Bliss. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
So, £300 and one hour to shop. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
Let's get to it! | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
-So I'm sensing some nerves here, girls. -Just a wee bit. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
Have you got anything in mind that you'd really like to buy today? | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
I've just spotted some vintage clothing, which would be lovely. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
You are a seasoned antiques buyer, I hear? | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
Well, I try to be. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:41 | |
Try. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:42 | |
I like clocks, watches. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
-Shall we try and do our best? -Yes. -OK. One hour. Come on, girls. -Come on. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:49 | |
-Let's go see what we can find. -Yes. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
-Is that silver, do you think? -I don't know. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
-Looks quite old, doesn't it? -It's got age, hasn't it? -Yeah. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
Nice frame. But is it silver? | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
Pat, you're an experienced antiques buyer. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
From what you're saying, I bet it's not. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
No, I'm not giving anything away. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
-I can't see any mark on it. -No. -Let's have a look. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
You'll find them inside the decoration. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
Probably at the bottom or at the top. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
-What's that there? Is that a mark? -No. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
It might be easier if you asked the stallholder! | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
So you don't spend ten hours looking for hallmarks! | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
-Any hallmarks on this? (VENDOR) -I haven't found one. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
He hasn't found them either! | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
-What sort of money is it? -120. -120. I think, um... | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
Ah, well. That just doesn't rock their boat. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
But there's plenty of time ahead. Now, what's Coco spotted? | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
That looks cool. That glass box thing. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
-The what? -The glass box thing. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
The glass box thing? | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
That'll be the glass cabinet, Coco. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
Now, this is, I would say, Eastern European. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:54 | |
What's that in the middle? | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
"Vitrina" is the word for vitrine, or glass cabinet. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
But I don't know what that means, I'm afraid! | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
Can't translate that. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
You've got to ask yourself, "Who would buy it?" What would it be used for? | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
-I don't know. I couldn't put it in a category, to be honest. -No. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:12 | |
I think it would be a great finishing piece for a shop, maybe. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
Or on a set. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
But I don't think it's the sort of piece that people would want in their house. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:23 | |
No. Yeah. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
-I think move on. What do you think? -Let's move on. -Come on. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
Bad luck, blues. Keep hunting. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
You lead. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:31 | |
He doesn't look that impressed! | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
What are these made of, David? | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
Ah, come on, Pat. You have bought hundreds of objects. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
You tell me! | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
Go on! What do you reckon? | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
-Oh, is it... -Is it bronze? -It can't be. It's heavy. -Yes. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
Style. Where are they from? | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
Don't panic just yet, Pat! | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
I haven't a clue, David! | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
-Your life doesn't depend on it! -Are they Japanese? | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
-Japanese. Well done, Helen. -Oh, are they? | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
I'm looking at the carving on the birds. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
-I thought... -Yes. Any markings on the base? No. Nothing on there. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
Oh, that one does have a mark on it! | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
-Oh, right! -Let's have a look. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
-What sort of price are they? -Luckily for us, Patricia speaks fluent Japanese, so.. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:15 | |
-So they're still 19... -Circa 1900. -Right. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
-Do you like them? -Yeah. -Yes, I do like them, yes. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
I think they'd be 30, 40, 50, 60 in the sale. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
See what we think for trade price. What are we thinking? | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
-Please be kind! -Please be kind! | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
I have overheard what you've been saying! | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
-I can't do much better than 80 quid. -Can't you? | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
-No. -75 at a push. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
-What do you want to do? -It's entirely up to you. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
-I like them. I'm happy with them. It's just... -The thing is, | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
they're very good quality. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
-And they should... -And they are a pair. -They're a pair. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
-Couldn't take 70? -Go on. 70. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
-Would you? You're lovely. -If they were 30 quid in auction, I'd buy 'em! | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
Oh, you are lovely! Do you think they'll make that at auction? | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
-What, £30? -No, 70! | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
I want to get me golden gavel! | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
They all want the golden gavel! | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
We'll go with it. Thank you. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
-Right. Lovely. Thanks a lot. -Thanks very much. -Thank you! | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
Well done, girls. That's the first item bought for the reds. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
There's a clock. That's very '30s, really, isn't it? | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
Oak case, and very '30s in the face. In the dial. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:28 | |
But fairly standard. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
-There's some glass on there, Helen. -Let's have a look. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
It's got no fantastic quality, that, at all. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
-No. -Let's get a price, just out of interest. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
What's the best price you could do on that? | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
Well... | 0:09:40 | 0:09:41 | |
Deep intake of breath, there! | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
24. I know it sounds poor, but I paid 20 for it. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
Right. Girls, what do you think? | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
-I think I'd like to look at some others. -OK, then. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:55 | |
I love the shape of the bottles. Look at that. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
The lovely thing about this is you've got enamelling on the top. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
That's enamelling where the metal is engraved first | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
and the enamel laid over the top, to give that lovely pattern. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
And the bottles are shaped to all fit together. Isn't that sweet? | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
-Yeah. Really cute. -But it's 195. I think we'll put that back! | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
-We're not doing very well, are we? -No. Shall we move on? -Shall we? | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
We seem to have been moving on a lot. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:21 | |
But not actually buying anything! | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
What have we spotted now, then? | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
-We quite like these. -All right, then. Tell me why. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
-Because they're pretty. We like the colours. -They're attractive, and a pair. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
They've got a Satsuma look to them. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
Because of the raised decoration. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
Anything that's got a raised decoration... | 0:10:38 | 0:10:39 | |
If it's Japanese, which these are, | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
you've got raised decoration and that crackle glaze behind here. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
-It could be described as Satsuma. -Right. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
HE SPEAKS GIBBERISH | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
"A really good deal." | 0:10:52 | 0:10:53 | |
A really good deal. A really good deal can be had here. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
What sort of age would they be, do you think? | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
Similar to your Japanese ones. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
There's a Japanese theme going on here. I can sense it! | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
They're circa 1900. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
-Made for this market. Made for the European market. -OK. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
Let's get a price. Hi, there. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
What kind of... What kind of price on this pair? | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
-65? -I can do a bit better for you. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
-58. -58. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
Could you do 55? | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
-I could. -A little bit more, do you think? | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
-They're being hard. -They are being hard. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
-We're trying, we're really trying. -We're very trying! | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
-52 at the very best. -If we had that glass vase... | 0:11:33 | 0:11:37 | |
-I'll do you 70 for the two. -70 for two. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
Sure you couldn't make them 50? | 0:11:40 | 0:11:41 | |
-Go on. -Make them 50. Girls, 50? | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
-Oh, that's really good. -Are we going to do it? -Yes. -Thank you very much. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
Brilliant! | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
That's the second item in the bag for the reds. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
They're two-nil up. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
So, at the half-way point, how are the teams feeling? | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
We're feeling quite confident at the moment. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
-I'm nervous. Are you? -I'm not nervous at all. We've got time. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:04 | |
We can do this. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
We've got half an hour left, and I'd like a nice piece of glassware, | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
if we can find one. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:11 | |
We need to do it. We need to buy three things. Let's do it. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
Oh, look at that mirror. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
Kate, the little mirror there. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
-It's beautiful. -It's not that old. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
It's got damage. But it's £10 if it's any good. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
£10. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:27 | |
-Will it make a tenner at auction? -I'm not sure. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
Do you want to offer me some less? | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
A really silly amount would be a fiver. But no less than that whatsoever. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
A fiver. I think that's good for what it is. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
It's cheap, but it's right up my alley! | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
Might be up your alley, Raj, but will it turn Coco on? | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
I don't think at auction you'll get a huge amount for it. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
If it wasn't damaged, I'd say it's worth a punt. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
But for me, that puts me off. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
-OK. We'll go with your gut. -I think we can do better than that. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
But I have spotted a rather nice umbrella here. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:05 | |
This has got a lovely bamboo handle. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
A very attractive tassel here which is quite nice. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
And I'll just open it up | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
and see what sort of condition the actual fabric is in. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:19 | |
But I think you've got something that's perhaps more affordable, | 0:13:19 | 0:13:25 | |
vintage and yet... | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
Oh, no! | 0:13:30 | 0:13:31 | |
Whoops! | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
A great big split! | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
What's going on there in the fabric? | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
Oh, no. Did I just do that? | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
Yes, Kate. That was you, love. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
Oh, what a disaster! | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
Oh, that's such a shame. The handle's lovely. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
The handle alone isn't going to keep the rain out! | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
There's a nice label in there. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
"Paragon". | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
Oh, no, I don't believe that. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
What could you do it for, anyway? | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
-Four quid. That's a ridiculous amount. -Four quid. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
-I can't even... -3.50. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
-Don't do 50s. -Three. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
I'll say yes cos with the split now I'm going to struggle. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
But people do buy the frame and the tassel. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
So the tassel alone is worth that, to be fair. So, yeah. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
Shall we say three? | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
I think we should go for it. I love the tassels. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
-It's my favourite part. -Yeah? | 0:14:23 | 0:14:24 | |
Put it this way. If we put it in the auction, do the button up, | 0:14:24 | 0:14:29 | |
and just hope nobody opens it! | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
-Are you happy? -Yes. -Three pounds, it's done. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
-OK. -Thank you very much. And I'm so sorry. -It's fine! | 0:14:33 | 0:14:38 | |
An embarrassed Kate, eh? | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
But at last the blues have secured their first item. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
With 25 minutes left, perhaps they'll romp home high and dry. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
Well, maybe not so much of the dry, eh? | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
Guess what that is? | 0:14:49 | 0:14:50 | |
Here we go again! | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
-It's not Japanese? -Yes, it is Japanese! | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
It is positively Japanese. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
A lacquered Japanese box. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
What do you think that would make? | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
-It's worth ten quid. That's all. -Is that all? -That's all it's worth. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
-Ten, 20 pounds. -Perhaps we should go for a £10 spree! -Depends how much it is. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
How much for the Japanese box? | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
Er, 20. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
-20. Yes. -No. But I like it. -Yeah. -I think it's lovely. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
Time is fast ticking away, | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
but, as ever, it seems Kate has her eye on the clock. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
Now, this is very Art Deco in style. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
You've got to be careful of these marble clock garnitures. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:28 | |
It's called a garniture because you've got the clock and two bits either side. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
So it's made for a mantelpiece. It's called a garniture. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:37 | |
but there are a lot of reproductions around because Art Deco is quite popular, quite commercial. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:42 | |
So you've got to look at little features to see if it's a period one | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
or a later copy because it makes a lot of difference to the price. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
This one, if you look at the bevel around the outside of the dial, | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
which is plated, you can see there are little nicks in it, or little places | 0:15:53 | 0:16:00 | |
where the plate has worn, which is a really good sign. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
That tells me, along with the condition of the dial, | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
where there are a few scratches, it's not perfect, | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
it tells me, I would say, this is a period Art Deco 1930s piece, OK? | 0:16:10 | 0:16:16 | |
What do you think? | 0:16:16 | 0:16:17 | |
It's not personally what I'd go for. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
but the fact it's marble makes me think it's worth some money. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:25 | |
I really like it. It's got a nice contrast with the marble. Very nice. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:31 | |
We do like the look of the marble clock. Could you go to 75? | 0:16:31 | 0:16:38 | |
-I couldn't go that low, sorry. -Could you do the flat 100? | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
-I'll do it 100, then. Go on. -Could you? -100. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
What do you think, guys? £100. Round figure. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
Is it worth a gamble? | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
This is Raj's thing. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
-Do you think so? -I think it's worth it. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
-Shall we do it? -Yeah, might as well. You only live once! | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
I think so. Worst scenario, I think, £70 at auction. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:02 | |
Best scenario, you might get over the 100. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
It is a gamble, but it's a great thing. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:05 | |
I think you've got yourself a deal. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
-Happy? -Yeah. £100. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
-We'll do it, please. -Thank you. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
Great. That's item number two for the blues. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
I'm glad to say the blues finally seem to be working | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
as one focused and united team! | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
-This way? -That way. -That way? | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
-Yeah. -I think so. -No-one listens to me! | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
Well, maybe not! | 0:17:26 | 0:17:27 | |
-(MAN) -Can I give you a time check? | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
-Yes. -You've got just over seven minutes. -Oh, my word! | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
Seven minutes! | 0:17:33 | 0:17:34 | |
The pressure's on! | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
Quick, quick, quick! | 0:17:36 | 0:17:37 | |
Let's go through them quick-fire. Point things out. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
-Oh, that's nice. -That is nice. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
That's lovely. I really like that. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
I don't think it's as old as it looks. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
Because if you look just here... | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
..it's marked 925. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
Which means that it's sterling standard. But... | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
What can you do on the frame? | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
-180. -It's modern, isn't it? | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
-Don't know. -It's not an old one. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
-925. -I thought it was continental. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
-Yes, but fairly modern. -I don't know. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
-I bought it in Paris. -It's got a 925 on it. -Oh, has it? | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
Time's running out. Stay focused, Coco! | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
If you said to me, let's go and get that glass post, I wouldn't be able to find it. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
-No. -What do you think about that? | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
-I know where it is. -Do you? | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
It's lovely that you've got the two opening doors. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
But it's not old. It's got silk. Can you see? | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 | |
The silk is relatively new on there. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
80 quid. Final offer. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
-80? -80? | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
-80 quid? -Yeah, 80 quid. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
-What do you think? -I like it. I really like it. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
But what do you think? | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
Apart from it being modern and 80 quid, yeah, it's nice. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
Don't hold back, Raj(!) | 0:18:53 | 0:18:54 | |
Meanwhile, what's caught Helen's eye? | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
What's that? | 0:18:58 | 0:18:59 | |
-"Lyon's Tea". That's quite sweet, isn't it? -I like that. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
-It is nice that, isn't it? -Right, OK. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
-Very interesting. It's made from tin. -Yeah. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
And its date is... It's Edwardian. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
1910. It might be 1920, just after the First World War. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
-And you change your date. -That's lovely. I like that. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
With an online sale, it could do quite well. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
-How much time have we got left? -One minute. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
Right, so. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
What do you think, chaps? Running out of time. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
It's good. Just go for it. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
Don't panic, girls. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
Don't panic!! | 0:19:34 | 0:19:35 | |
Don't panic, Mr Mainwaring! | 0:19:35 | 0:19:36 | |
Try not to! | 0:19:36 | 0:19:37 | |
What about 75 if we pay you cash? | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
What is the absolute... | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
The absolute best on it is £20. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
-That's it? -Yes. Sorry. That's it. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
Do we want a bag? Have we bought it? | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
-We've bought it. -Yes, yes. -Thank you very much. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
-Thank you. -That, I've got to say, | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
is my favourite object today. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
Well done, reds. All items present and correct. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
But only during the final seconds of the shop. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
-75, yeah? -Done! -Cool! | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
A deal is struck by the blues. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
Bingo! | 0:20:10 | 0:20:11 | |
We've got a picture frame. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
And now, they too have finished shopping. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
Time's up. Let's check out what the red team bought, eh? | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
First, they picked up a pair of Japanese Meiji period bronze vases. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:26 | |
And from the same Japanese period, | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
their pair of Satsuma vases cost them £50. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
Their last purchase, at £20, | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
was a novelty Edwardian Lyon's tin tea caddy | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
with a perpetual calendar, don't you know. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
-It went like that, didn't it? -It did. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
Hey, you girls, I was told you were chatty, but by gosh! | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
That was a good performance, wasn't it? | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
And your overall spend was? | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
-140. -140. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
160 for me, then, please. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
Thank you, Patricia. £160. A huge amount to you, David. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
How are you going to convert that into the most profitable bonus buy ever? | 0:21:03 | 0:21:08 | |
No pressure! I don't know what I'm going to do. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
-But I'm thinking something feminine. -Are you? -They've been wonderful. Something a bit girly. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:15 | |
Fine. You're well qualified for that! Very, very good luck! | 0:21:15 | 0:21:20 | |
Meanwhile, let's check out what the blue team bought. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
They put up three pounds for a 1940s Paragon umbrella. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:28 | |
A three-piece 1930s Art Deco marble clock garniture | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
set them back £100. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
And finally, they chose an ornate silver photograph frame. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
£75 paid for that. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
-You liked your clock. -Yeah. That's what I came here for. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
We've got one heck of a happy team here. Are you a happy team? | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
-Yes. -Had a good time? -Yes, very good, thank you. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
What does the accountant think about spending all that cash? | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
Um, should be saving it! | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
How much was it again? | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
It was £178. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
-178. So we want £122. -Yes. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:08 | |
-That's right, yep. -OK, accountancy. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
Here we go. 122. That's coming over. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:14 | |
There's a wodge of cash, Kate. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
-Lovely. -What are you going to do with that? | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
Thank you. Well, they've got very set tastes. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
It'll be difficult to find something to please them both. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
I've got my work cut out. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
-Just something that'll make a major profit. -OK. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
-I'll stick to that. -Good luck with that. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
Meanwhile, we're heading off to Lotherton Hall. Ever heard of it? | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
Well, you're about to find out. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
Former home of the Gascoigne family, | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
this is Lotherton Hall in west Yorkshire. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
The Gascoignes were great travellers | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
who'd picked up a number of exotic artefacts on their journeys | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
which, since Sir Alvary Gascoigne bequeathed the hall to the City of Leeds in the 1960s | 0:22:50 | 0:22:56 | |
are now on public display. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
Along with many subsequent donations, | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
these now make up a rather impressive Oriental collection. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
Continuing the family tradition, | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
Sir Alvary Gascoigne, the last incumbent of Lotherton Hall, | 0:23:12 | 0:23:18 | |
when he was leaving his post with the British Diplomatic Mission in Japan in 1951, | 0:23:18 | 0:23:25 | |
was presented with this by the diplomatic staff. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:29 | |
A lovely pottery camel. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
Except this is no ordinary pottery camel. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:37 | |
It's a tomb figure that dates from the Tang dynasty. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:41 | |
And the Tang dynasty ruled in China | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
between about 600 AD and 900 AD. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:48 | |
If you were wealthy in the Tang dynasty, | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
what you'd want to be buried with is one of these in your tomb. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:55 | |
Because these were considered at that time symbols of wealth | 0:23:55 | 0:24:00 | |
and prosperity. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
This thing is made of whitish clay. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
You can see the clay here where there's a great chip on one of his humps. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:09 | |
And the expression on his face gives you everything that is great about camels. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:15 | |
Great open mouth, arched neck, | 0:24:15 | 0:24:19 | |
throwing his head back, clearing his throat, | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
preparing to spit, | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
because, as we all know, camels can spit accurately for up to 20 metres. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:30 | |
The colour scheme is typical of early Chinese pottery glazes, | 0:24:30 | 0:24:36 | |
with these three colours, the white, the green and the yellow | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
mixed in a treacly way | 0:24:40 | 0:24:41 | |
that gets emulated, if you like, in Staffordshire, | 0:24:41 | 0:24:45 | |
by the Wealden pottery factory in the 18th century. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:49 | |
Which is a cool 1,000 years after this glaze was being used in China. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:56 | |
This represents the absolute pinnacle | 0:24:56 | 0:25:00 | |
of collectability today | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
for Chinese ceramics. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
I dread to think what it's potentially worth! | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
So, while Sir Alvary is collecting his retirement gift, | 0:25:07 | 0:25:13 | |
his missus, Lady Gascoigne, is away shopping. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
Where she acquired in 1950 | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
this Japanese screen. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
This is said to be Kano School, | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
and could date anywhere between about 1600 and 1800. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:30 | |
Where we've got this spangly golden section, | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
if this was lacquer, | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
you'd expect that to be nashi, | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
with literally chopped up little bits of gold | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
applied to the lacquer surface. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:43 | |
I reckon this thing, if it was properly restored, | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
would look absolutely dynamic. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:50 | |
Overall, though, it has to be said | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
that Lady Gascoigne was jolly good at her bargain hunting! | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
The big question today is, over at the auction, | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
can the same be said for our teams? | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
Today we're in Lincoln, and proud of it. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
At Golding, Young and Moore | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
with our old mate mucker Colin Young. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
-Pleasure to have you here, Tim. -Morning, Colin. Lovely to be back. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
For the reds, they've gone, in my view, for some pretty disappointing Oriental items. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
These are two appallingly poor quality Japanese bronze vases. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:30 | |
They are. They're what I class as one step up from the bottom league. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:34 | |
There's no real quality to them at all. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
But they are old. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
So they've got to be worth 40 to £60, I'd have thought. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
-OK. £70 paid. Fair enough. They're not a million miles out. -No. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:46 | |
But for viewers at home, looking at these two Satsuma vases, | 0:26:46 | 0:26:51 | |
-they are Satsuma. -Yes. -They've got some age. -Yes. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
This, that and the other. It's just that a good bit of Satsuma takes your breath away, | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
and these are just poor pieces, aren't they? | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
You've got those wonderful fine artistic pieces which make thousands. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:06 | |
Which just take your breath away. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:07 | |
But as well as producing those, they had, in effect, to pay the rent. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:11 | |
So there were everyday wares that were made en masse, | 0:27:11 | 0:27:15 | |
and unfortunately this does fall into that category. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
So, Satsuma, Colin. What's your estimate? | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
I think in today's market, 40 to 60 is going to be the mark. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
Patricia and Helen paid 50. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
So they're about spot on. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
And it's always time for a cup of tea, I find. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
How do you rate the little tea canister, the tea box? | 0:27:32 | 0:27:37 | |
It's quite a fun item. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:38 | |
Plenty of them come through the auctions. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
They make anywhere between ten and 30 which is why that's the estimate I put on them. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:47 | |
-Between ten and 30. -Yes. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
-OK. £20 paid. So they're pretty well spot on. -Yeah. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
Fascinating to see what will happen. Overall, though, | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
they're most likely going to need their bonus buy. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
Let's have a look at it. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
Patricia, Hels, you spent 140. You gave David Harper £160. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:03 | |
-I'm going to help him by whooping that cloth off. -Be gentle. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:07 | |
-Ooh! -Hello, two very elegant, beautiful scent bottles. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:12 | |
How much? | 0:28:12 | 0:28:13 | |
Oh, here we go! | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
What do you think? | 0:28:15 | 0:28:17 | |
-I think you've spent all our money. -How much was that? -160. -£160. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:21 | |
-Have you? -60 for the pair. -60. -60. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
That's not too bad. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:25 | |
And to have a pair, a pair of anything, is always so much more desirable. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:30 | |
And a matching pair. That's what we're all looking for! | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
How much do you think they'll make? | 0:28:33 | 0:28:35 | |
I think they've got a very good chance of making a profit. I really do. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:38 | |
I would pay 60 quid for those all day long. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:42 | |
Very happily. So they could make £100. Why not? | 0:28:42 | 0:28:46 | |
OK, girls? Happy with that? Have a cogitate. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:49 | |
You don't pick until after the sale of your first three items. | 0:28:49 | 0:28:52 | |
But let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's scent bottles. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:57 | |
Perfect. Let's have one each, shall we? | 0:28:58 | 0:29:00 | |
-Those are rather nice. -Aren't they attractive? | 0:29:00 | 0:29:04 | |
I don't know. This silver and enamel band on the top. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:08 | |
What's yours like? Mine's perfect. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:09 | |
-I've got a little bit out of mine. -A dent? -A bit of a dent. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:14 | |
Bit of a loss on there. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:16 | |
-Is your glass all right? -The glass is good. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
I think they are incomplete and the stoppers that have been put on don't quite match. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:25 | |
But with a scent bottle of this sort of size and scale, | 0:29:25 | 0:29:29 | |
it should have had an atomiser top. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:31 | |
This is going to be a difficult thing to... Almost like a vinegar bottle when you pour it out. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:38 | |
This, for me, doesn't work with stoppers. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:41 | |
So there are a few question marks hanging over them. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:44 | |
But I think they dress very well. | 0:29:44 | 0:29:46 | |
And they look the part. | 0:29:46 | 0:29:48 | |
-So I'll be quite positive with them in the sale. -OK. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:51 | |
But an estimate of 50 to £80 for them. | 0:29:51 | 0:29:54 | |
That's very fine, cos old Harper paid 60. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:57 | |
So he's not overpaid. | 0:29:57 | 0:29:58 | |
OK. Marvellous. Thank you for that, Colin. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:01 | |
Good, good. That's exciting. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:03 | |
Now, moving on to Coco and Rajan. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:06 | |
We have an umbrella. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:08 | |
We get a lot of these through. They generally don't go through as individual lots. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:11 | |
But for that reason, it being a separate lot, | 0:30:11 | 0:30:15 | |
we've put an estimate of 25 to £40. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
-Really? -Hopefully that should encourage some stimulus in the bidding. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:22 | |
There'll be a downpour, I can tell you! | 0:30:23 | 0:30:25 | |
-Really? -Three pounds paid. -That was all right! -Pretty good! | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
Now, the clock garniture, | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
which absolutely reeks 1930s, doesn't it? | 0:30:30 | 0:30:33 | |
It does. Absolute spot-on piece of Deco. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:36 | |
We do see a lot of this model coming through. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:39 | |
-And these days, we'd estimate 100 to £150. -100 to £150? | 0:30:39 | 0:30:45 | |
Coco and Raj, anything over £100, they'll be jumping up and down. | 0:30:45 | 0:30:49 | |
-OK. -And the last item | 0:30:49 | 0:30:51 | |
which is incredibly good-looking. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:55 | |
It looks Victorian, it feels Victorian. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:58 | |
It's a very traditional style from that sort of period, | 0:30:58 | 0:31:01 | |
-but obviously a modern piece. -Yes. | 0:31:01 | 0:31:02 | |
But it looks the part. So I wouldn't be too critical about it being not that old. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:07 | |
What do you think it's worth, Col? | 0:31:07 | 0:31:09 | |
I think 40 to £60 would be the mark for it. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:11 | |
OK. I think that's a bit of a teasing estimate, personally! | 0:31:11 | 0:31:14 | |
£75 was paid. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:16 | |
And I'd be very surprised if you don't get that. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:19 | |
-But that's the excitement of the auction. -It's the unknown factor. That's why we do this job! | 0:31:19 | 0:31:24 | |
And that's why they may need their bonus buy. Let's have a look at it. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:28 | |
Now. Raj, Coco, this is your moment. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:32 | |
What did Kate Bliss spend all that cash on, that £122. OK, Kate, show us your wares! | 0:31:32 | 0:31:38 | |
Here it is. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
Quite small, but perfectly formed. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:42 | |
It is - if I turn it over, you'll have more of a clue. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:46 | |
I can see Coco is looking very closely. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:48 | |
On the other side, you have a sweet little bevelled mirror. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:52 | |
And on the inside, you have something that every make-up artist needs... | 0:31:52 | 0:31:58 | |
-a little lipstick! -Oh! | 0:31:58 | 0:32:00 | |
Isn't that adorable? | 0:32:00 | 0:32:02 | |
So although it was very difficult to please both of you, | 0:32:02 | 0:32:05 | |
I was really hoping I would please one of you! | 0:32:05 | 0:32:07 | |
Indeed! | 0:32:07 | 0:32:08 | |
Lovely. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:09 | |
So, this is continental silver. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:11 | |
It's actually marked with an import mark | 0:32:11 | 0:32:14 | |
which is what happens to silver when it's imported into this country. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
But it's basically continental, probably French, I would think. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:21 | |
And it's in really good condition for its age. | 0:32:21 | 0:32:25 | |
This dates from the very early part of the 20th century. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:28 | |
Have a little look, Coco. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
-I'm dying. -It's more of a girls' thing, I'm afraid, Raj. -OK. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:34 | |
-Do you like it? -Oh, I love it! | 0:32:34 | 0:32:36 | |
-Would you like to own it? -I want it in my bag! -Do you? | 0:32:36 | 0:32:40 | |
You need to find out from Kate one thing, one very important thing. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:42 | |
-And that is? -How much did it cost you? -OK. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:46 | |
-Well, it cost me £38. -Oh! | 0:32:46 | 0:32:49 | |
Does it look 38 notes' worth? | 0:32:49 | 0:32:50 | |
I think it looks like it's worth more. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:53 | |
-I've never seen anything like it. -Yeah. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:55 | |
There you are. You've got the males intrigued, | 0:32:55 | 0:32:59 | |
and the women loving it, Kate. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:00 | |
I think this is a no-brainer, here. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:02 | |
Anyway, chaps. You don't decide now. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:04 | |
You decide after the sale of your first three items. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:07 | |
But for those at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's lipstick. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:12 | |
There you go, Colin. Something to repair your make-up with! | 0:33:13 | 0:33:16 | |
Mm. I would think that's got to be worth, for any lady, 30 to £50. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:20 | |
-OK. £38 paid. -OK. -Which is pretty good, isn't it? | 0:33:20 | 0:33:24 | |
The fact that Kate can go out and find that for £38 retail | 0:33:24 | 0:33:27 | |
I think is pretty darned clever. | 0:33:27 | 0:33:30 | |
Are you taking the sale today? | 0:33:30 | 0:33:32 | |
-I will indeed. -We're in safe hands. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
OK, Pat? Hels? How are you feeling? | 0:33:39 | 0:33:42 | |
-Nervous. -Fine. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:43 | |
-What does that hysterical laugh mean? -Yes! | 0:33:43 | 0:33:47 | |
-A little bit nervous. -Are you? | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
-Yes. -It's only fear of the unknown, I expect, isn't it? | 0:33:50 | 0:33:53 | |
-Once you get a couple of lots into it, you'll love it. -Good! | 0:33:53 | 0:33:56 | |
First up are the bronzes. Here they come. | 0:33:56 | 0:33:58 | |
Lot number 103. Pair of Japanese Meiji period bronze vases. | 0:33:58 | 0:34:03 | |
There we go. £40, anyone? 40? | 0:34:03 | 0:34:04 | |
40 straight in. £40. Who's coming in, £40 anybody? | 0:34:04 | 0:34:07 | |
40. Look at what we're selling. £40 I'm bid. And two. Two do I see? | 0:34:07 | 0:34:11 | |
-At £40 bid. Two anywhere? -Come on, Colin. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:14 | |
At 40 bid. 42 on the net. 42. 45. 48 bid. 50 do I see? £50 bid. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:18 | |

£50 bid. Five is the last call. Going at £50. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:26 | |
£50, which is £20 under. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:29 | |
-£50. Could have been a lot worse! -It could. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:31 | |
-Now, will the Satsuma ones make more? -Yes. | 0:34:31 | 0:34:36 | |
What shall we say for these? Stand on £50. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:38 | |
50? £50. Surely somebody's going to stand on at 50? 40? | 0:34:38 | 0:34:41 | |
-Oh! -£30. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:44 | |
£30? | 0:34:45 | 0:34:47 | |
Silence! | 0:34:47 | 0:34:48 | |
£20? Just look at the enamelling on them. | 0:34:48 | 0:34:51 | |
20 bid. 22. Five. 28. | 0:34:51 | 0:34:52 | |
30. 30 bid. 32. 35. 38 bid. 40. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:54 | |

-Go on! -Go on! -Another one, please! | 0:34:56 | 0:34:59 | |
At 45 in the middle of the room. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:00 | |
At 45 bid. 48 now. Do I see it? | 0:35:00 | 0:35:02 | |
45. Look at what we're selling at 45. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:04 | |
In the centre of the room selling at £45. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:07 | |
£45. Bad luck. Made less than the bronze. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:11 | |
And a five pound loss on that. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:14 | |
-Now, the tin tea caddy. -This is beautiful. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:17 | |
Who's going to start me at £30? 30? | 0:35:17 | 0:35:19 | |
20 to go, then, surely. £20, anybody? 20? | 0:35:19 | 0:35:21 | |
£20. £20? £10? | 0:35:21 | 0:35:24 | |
-Ooh! -Ten. £10 I'm bid. 10. 12, now do I see? 12 bid. 15. 15. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:28 | |
18 do I see? At £15 bid. 18 do I see now? 18. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:30 | |
18 bid. 20 I'm bid. 22 now? 22? | 0:35:30 | 0:35:33 | |
At £20 bid. Is there two now? | 0:35:33 | 0:35:35 | |

38 we're up to now on the net. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:48 | |
On the net! | 0:35:48 | 0:35:49 | |
At 38 bid. 40 anywhere else now, surely? | 0:35:49 | 0:35:51 | |
-Go on! -On the net. You're out in the room. | 0:35:51 | 0:35:54 | |
-At 38. -Well, that's marvellous. Brilliant. | 0:35:54 | 0:35:57 | |
38. Hell's bells. You did really well finding that. | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
That's plus 18. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:01 | |
A profit of 18. You're minus seven, sweet pea. | 0:36:01 | 0:36:05 | |
-That's not bad! -Minus seven is not too bad. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:08 | |
What about these decanters? | 0:36:08 | 0:36:10 | |
The old scent decanters. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:12 | |
-Do you fancy them at 60? -No. -Are you not? -No. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:15 | |
-You're not? -Sure? -No? | 0:36:15 | 0:36:17 | |
-Do you think so? -I can't express an opinion. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:20 | |
Well, what a turncoat you are. She told me how much she loved them. | 0:36:20 | 0:36:24 | |
And then suddenly, no. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:27 | |
Hang on a minute. Seriously, you're minus seven pounds, which could be a winning score. | 0:36:27 | 0:36:31 | |
On the other hand, do you fancy a punt on these things? | 0:36:31 | 0:36:33 | |
-What do you think? -The sweet smell of success? -We'll have a go. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:36 | |
-What do you think? -We'll have a go. -Sure? -Yes, we'll go. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:40 | |
-You will? -Your decision. -Yes, final. -You do. OK. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:43 | |
You don't need to phone anybody? | 0:36:43 | 0:36:44 | |
-Fingers are crossed. -Everything crossed? | 0:36:46 | 0:36:48 | |
-Seriously, you're doing it, yes? -Yes. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:51 | |
Lot number 109 is a pair of George V cut glass scent bottles. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:56 | |
£80, anybody? 80? | 0:36:56 | 0:36:58 | |
-Lovely scent bottles, not to be sniffed at! -Ho, ho! | 0:36:58 | 0:37:01 | |
50? £50? 50? | 0:37:01 | 0:37:03 | |
40? £40 anybody? 40? | 0:37:04 | 0:37:06 | |
-For goodness sake! -£30, anybody? 30? | 0:37:06 | 0:37:08 | |
£30 bid. 30. Two do I see now? | 0:37:08 | 0:37:10 | |
£30 bid. Two anywhere else? 32 bid. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:12 | |
35 bid. 38. 38. 40. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:13 | |
At 40. 42. 45. 48. | 0:37:13 | 0:37:15 | |
And 50? 48 bid. 50 do I see. 50 bid. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:18 | |
Five on the net. 55. 60 in the room. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:19 | |
60. 65 | 0:37:19 | 0:37:20 | |
60 bid. And five now? Surely, at £60. 65. 70, now. | 0:37:20 | 0:37:25 | |
-Yes! -Your bid takes it at 65. | 0:37:25 | 0:37:27 | |
-Any more bids now? -Hang on. He's not finished. -Last call. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:29 | |
Will it tempt you back into the bidding? | 0:37:29 | 0:37:31 | |
At 65 bid. Eight, now, surely? | 0:37:31 | 0:37:33 | |
At 65. Going this time, then. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:35 | |
Selling at £65. | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
-Well done, Dave. -Thank you, David. -Thank you. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:39 | |
We're glad we went with you. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:41 | |
Well, it was quite a moment, that. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
It's what you call taut. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:45 | |
Anyway. Plus five, which overall reduces you so sadly to minus £2. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:51 | |
-That's not bad. -It's brilliant! | 0:37:51 | 0:37:53 | |
There's no shame in that. | 0:37:53 | 0:37:55 | |
Not at all. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:56 | |
So, say not a word to the blues, OK? | 0:37:56 | 0:37:59 | |
-Well done, girls, you've been marvellous. -Thank you. -Thank you! | 0:37:59 | 0:38:02 | |
Coco, Rajan, do you know how the reds got on? | 0:38:08 | 0:38:10 | |
-No. -No idea? -No. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:12 | |
With any luck we'll have Raj the accountant counting out the money! | 0:38:12 | 0:38:16 | |
Like he normally does at work and everything will be good. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:19 | |
If it all goes wrong, you've got the lipstick jobby to fall back on. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:23 | |
Fall back on? It's lovely! | 0:38:23 | 0:38:25 | |
You're having it anyway? | 0:38:25 | 0:38:27 | |
-You want it yourself, don't you? -Yes, I do! | 0:38:27 | 0:38:29 | |
OK, Coco. So, here we go, then. Exciting stuff. | 0:38:29 | 0:38:32 | |
First up is the umbrella. Here it comes. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:35 | |
Lot 124 is the vintage Paragon umbrella. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:39 | |
The extra good news is it's raining today! | 0:38:39 | 0:38:42 | |
So we should have a captive audience. | 0:38:42 | 0:38:45 | |
Who's going to start me at £30 for it? 30? | 0:38:45 | 0:38:47 | |
Ten to go, surely. £10, anybody? Ten? | 0:38:47 | 0:38:49 | |
£10, anyone? Ten? | 0:38:49 | 0:38:51 | |
Come on, ladies and gentlemen. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:53 | |
£10 on the net. Ten bid. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:55 | |
12 again now. | 0:38:55 | 0:38:56 | |
12 and 15, now? 15 do I see? | 0:38:56 | 0:38:59 | |
Coming back at 15? No? | 0:38:59 | 0:39:01 | |
At 12 bid. My bid's here at 12. Any more bids, then? | 0:39:01 | 0:39:03 | |
Any more bids? No? At £12. Last call then. Selling at 12. | 0:39:03 | 0:39:07 | |
-Thank you. -£12, darling. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:09 | |
You've just made £9 profit. | 0:39:09 | 0:39:11 | |
-Good girl. -Very good. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:13 | |
Now, the clock garniture. Ooh. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:16 | |
Clock garniture set this time. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:17 | |
Who's going to start me at £200 for it? 200? | 0:39:17 | 0:39:20 | |
Two to go, surely. £200 anyone? | 0:39:20 | 0:39:21 | |
200? 150, if you like. 150. | 0:39:21 | 0:39:23 | |
Coming in at 150 for it? | 0:39:23 | 0:39:25 | |
150 to go, surely. 150, anybody? | 0:39:25 | 0:39:27 | |
100, then, as a last resort. £100. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:30 | |
£100? | 0:39:30 | 0:39:32 | |
Somebody buy it! | 0:39:32 | 0:39:34 | |
Time's running out. 50. 50 I'm bid in the middle there. | 0:39:34 | 0:39:37 | |
50. At 60. 65. 65. 70, now? | 0:39:37 | 0:39:39 | |
70 now? Do I see £70 bid? | 0:39:39 | 0:39:41 | |
At 70 do I see? £70 I'm bid. At 70. | 0:39:41 | 0:39:43 | |
Five. 75. At 80? | 0:39:43 | 0:39:46 | |
At £75. It's on the market and it is going to sell. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:48 | |
We're all done and finished and selling, then, at £75. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:54 | |
That's minus £25. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:56 | |
I can't tell you how disappointed I am by that. | 0:39:56 | 0:39:58 | |
That's minus 16. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:00 | |
The game is not over. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:02 | |
Lot number 126. The ornate sterling silver photo frame. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:06 | |
And we start the bidding on this already at £40 bid. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
At £40 bid. And five. At 50. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:10 | |
Five. 60. 60. Another bid? Five. Anywhere else now? | 0:40:10 | 0:40:13 | |
At £60 bid. Five now do I see? | 0:40:13 | 0:40:15 | |
£60 bid. Five anywhere else? Five? | 0:40:15 | 0:40:17 | |

At 65 bid. Any more now? | 0:40:19 | 0:40:21 | |
At 65. Done and finished then. Selling on the internet at £65. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:25 | |
Thank you. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:26 | |
£65 is minus £10. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:29 | |
Is minus 26 overall. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:31 | |
Right. So this is very disappointing, isn't it? | 0:40:31 | 0:40:34 | |
So predicting what's going to happen with your lipstick isn't easy. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:39 | |
But you're going to go for it anyway? | 0:40:39 | 0:40:40 | |
I really like it. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:42 | |
So you're going to go with it, yes? | 0:40:42 | 0:40:44 | |
-Yeah. -OK. We're going to do it. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:46 | |
We're going with it. Here it comes. | 0:40:46 | 0:40:48 | |
Lot number 130 showing now. | 0:40:48 | 0:40:50 | |
This is a 20th-century continental silver combination lipstick holder. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:54 | |
£50 for it? 50? £50 to go, then, surely. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:57 | |
£50, anyone? 50? | 0:40:57 | 0:40:59 | |
40? 30 to go then, surely. £30. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:01 | |
Who's going to start me at 30? | 0:41:01 | 0:41:02 | |
Oh, dear! | 0:41:02 | 0:41:04 | |
£20? £20 bid. At 20 bid. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:06 | |
Gents as well, if you like! 20 bid. | 0:41:06 | 0:41:08 | |
Two there. 22. 25. 28 do I see now? | 0:41:08 | 0:41:10 | |
28 bid. 30. £30 bid. Do I see 30? | 0:41:10 | 0:41:12 | |
32 now. 32 bid. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:15 | |
35 bid. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:16 | |
At 32 bid. 35, it's slowed down now a little bit. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:20 | |
35. 38? | 0:41:20 | 0:41:23 | |
38 bid. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:25 | |
At 38 and very sedate. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:27 | |
You've wiped your face. You've wiped your face. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:30 | |
40 bid. 42 now? No? At £40 bid. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:33 | |
Any more bids now? At 40. Two, surely, for this? | 0:41:33 | 0:41:36 | |
At £40 bid. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:38 | |
£40. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:40 | |
-£40. -Selling on the net. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:42 | |
£40. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:44 | |
£40 is a two pound profit, | 0:41:44 | 0:41:46 | |
which is most welcome. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:47 | |
Anyway, overall, you are minus £24. | 0:41:47 | 0:41:51 | |
And I would say, Kate, you was robbed! | 0:41:51 | 0:41:54 | |
That's really bad luck, guys, I would say. | 0:41:54 | 0:41:56 | |
-Well, that was fun, wasn't it? -It was. -Yes! | 0:42:01 | 0:42:03 | |
I do love a good auction. | 0:42:03 | 0:42:05 | |
We've had a helter-skelter today. | 0:42:05 | 0:42:07 | |
But sadly, for neither team is there a profit to go home with. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:11 | |
So both teams are in the minus department. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:15 | |
Despite the fact that the expert on each team | 0:42:15 | 0:42:19 | |
managed to find an object which did make a profit. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:22 | |
Which is very, very nice going. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:24 | |
But sadly, not enough profit to rescue the situation. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:27 | |
And the team with the least losses today are... | 0:42:27 | 0:42:33 | |
-the reds. -Yes! -Yes! | 0:42:35 | 0:42:37 | |
Sorry, Coco! | 0:42:38 | 0:42:40 | |
Which means that the blues have the most losses. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:43 | |
-Yay! -But it's not much. It's only minus £24 | 0:42:43 | 0:42:48 | |
which is just nothing in the scale of it all. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:51 | |
But the victors, who managed to win by only losing two pounds... | 0:42:51 | 0:42:54 | |
Two pounds! | 0:42:54 | 0:42:56 | |
-Minus two. Had a good time, you victors? -Fantastic. | 0:42:56 | 0:43:00 | |
It's been lovely to see you both. | 0:43:00 | 0:43:01 | |
