0:00:07 > 0:00:10With its vast horizons and broad skies,
0:00:10 > 0:00:15Norfolk has long been a destination point for artists.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Good place for our teams to brush up on our antiques knowledge, hey?
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Well, with £300 and one hour to find three objects,
0:00:51 > 0:00:55what is clear is that our teams today are going to have to go flat out
0:00:55 > 0:00:59in one of the flattest counties in the country.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Let's have a quick squint as to what's coming up.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08On today's programme, the red team fall in love with everything.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- Now, that's gorgeous, isn't it? - Oh, like that.- Wow, that is pretty.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- How gorgeous is that? - That is lovely, isn't it?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Whilst the Blues fall in love with nothing.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- What do you think?- No.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21- No?- No.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- You're still in... No?- No.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- No, not your thing?- No.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Before all that, let's meet the teams, hey?
0:01:29 > 0:01:33So, today's programme is all about great partnerships
0:01:33 > 0:01:36because for the Reds, we've got buddies Claire and Diane
0:01:36 > 0:01:40and we have Stephen and Olga who are our married couple.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41- Hello, everyone. - Hello.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Now, you've been chums, you two, for 18 years. Tell us about it.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Well, we did meet at a pub a long, long time ago.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50- Years and years ago. - Mm.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52And I used to be a chef there
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- and Claire used to work on the bar there.- I did!
0:01:54 > 0:01:57So it was like a working partnership even all those years ago.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59It was only a Sunday lunchtime for me because I was busy
0:01:59 > 0:02:02designing children's play areas the rest of the time.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Is that what you do?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05I did do at the time because I was working for
0:02:05 > 0:02:08a play equipment manufacturer in the Lake District.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Now I've trained as a personal trainer.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11How lovely is that?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Yeah, it's absolutely the best job in the world.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14I get paid to go out running
0:02:14 > 0:02:17and enjoy myself with lots of interesting people.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20This must up your fitness level to something fantastic then, doesn't it?
0:02:20 > 0:02:24I do sometimes run vast distances in a day.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Yeah, with this panting clown trying to keep up, all right?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Diane, you run your own upholstery business?- Yes.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33I think it's a wonderful thing to be able to do
0:02:33 > 0:02:36because it's very kind of economically sensible too, isn't it?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Yes, it is really. It's the upcycling of it, they call it now.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Yes, upcycling. Exactly right. - It's the big thing, yeah.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- The Tour de France.- Wow! - Tell us about that.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Well, I did one stage of the Tour de France this year.- You never did?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Yeah, just as I got to the top,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53this lady came past me on an electric bike, smiling.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- She never did? - She was up like this, smiling away.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58So you tripped her up?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Well, I didn't have a breath, I just couldn't do it.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01I had no breath left.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Anyway, very, very good luck.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Now, you're Stephen, an energy consultant.- That's correct.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- And you're a photographer, Olga? - That's right, yes.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12And you're keen on dancing, both of you?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14We are very, very keen dancers.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15We do ballroom dancing.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I've been ballroom dancing about five years,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21so yes, we're really keen dancers, we love it.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Letting is Olga's thing,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I just have to stand around and show the peacock off.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- Who cares?- In the ballroom, I have to take a bit more of a lead.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Now Stephen, you like a bit of outdoors work too?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Yeah, we like camping and canoeing.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37This year, we've brought a couple of kayaks
0:03:37 > 0:03:41and we've done a few trips on some local rivers and lakes.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44It's a wonderful way of seeing the coastline, isn't it?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Up close and personal and in your own pace and everything else.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Now, Olga. You're a photographer.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52What sort of things do you like to take photos of?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Well, my main thing is weddings. I do a lot of weddings.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00I also do fashion photography and I also do some boudoir as well.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- I bet your dad gave you a camera once, right?- Yes, indeed.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07When I was 10 years old, it was my birthday present
0:04:07 > 0:04:10and he had all the equipment, he had the enlarger, darkroom.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Brilliant.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13So I could use all those things and it was a lot of fun.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15I was taking a lot of pictures.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19It was more about quantities than about the quality at that age
0:04:19 > 0:04:20but yeah, I really enjoyed it
0:04:20 > 0:04:22and since then, I really love photography.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- And you learned all this stuff on film and that's great.- That's right.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- What was your town in Russia? - I came from St Petersburg.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- Did you?- That's right.- Very good.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32What are your tactics today to hammer the Reds?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34We're going to buy one item between us
0:04:34 > 0:04:36and then we're going to buy one item each.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38OK, brilliant.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Now, £300 a piece. There's your £300, £300.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Well, that's our talented teams. But who are their able advisors?
0:04:49 > 0:04:53For the Reds, it's our model expert Caroline Hawley.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56And who are you going to call, Blues? Thomas Plant, of course.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- What are you looking for today? - Oh, I really like a vintage things.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08So do I! And what are you looking for today?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- I quite like anything to do with interiors.- Well, let's go.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Let's hunt. Come on, after you!
0:05:13 > 0:05:18So, the Reds are in unison and the Blues are in step too. Ooh!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Well, probably need their expert then.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Right, OK, OK. That's wonderful!
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Fabulous! But we've got to buy some antiques.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Look at you, out of breath. - Already.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Can you teach me? I might just...
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Come on!
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Ah, well, Stephen.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I guess you will just have to watch from the sidelines.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40I tell you what.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43These Reds aren't mucking about. They're straight in there.
0:05:43 > 0:05:49- How much is that?- £40.- £40? Would you have with the glovebox...
0:05:49 > 0:05:55Button hooks. You would. You see, this is the original silk lining.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00Silk moire watermark, silk. And then in here, you would have your gloves.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- I really like it.- I do, it almost looks like leather.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Well, it's burr walnut and it will be mid-Victorian, sort of 1860,
0:06:07 > 0:06:101870 perhaps.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I do like it, it's just the damage on it.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15If you could get it for maybe £30...
0:06:15 > 0:06:18It's just having that missing there.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22One here and I think there's been a little bit of repair there.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24But if it's...
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- It wants to be cheap enough.- Yes. - Is this yours, sir?
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- How cheap is the cheapest? - Got £40 on, I believe, yeah.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Um, can do £32.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Could you do £30?
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Split the difference, £31.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46- You don't to odd bids on Bargain Hunt though, do you?- We don't like change!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- It's really difficult.- What do you think?- Could we do £30?
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- £30 would be brilliant.- £30, OK. - What do you think, let's go for it?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Yes, let's go for it.- Yes, great! Go for it!- Thank you very much.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- Lovely, thank you very much. Thank you.- Thank you very much, excellent.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04First buy. And very early in the shop. Excellent.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09TIM: That's an understatement, Reds. Barely five minutes gone too.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Blues, you can't afford to put a foot wrong to keep up.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Is it a fireguard?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- It's a fireguard, yeah. - Very decorative as well.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- For probably a child's bedroom. - Yeah.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23And this would radiate heat, it would get hot.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- And of course, it's very safe. - Yeah, of course.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- That's really good, isn't it? - Beautiful and it's got all the...
0:07:29 > 0:07:32It's got all the things for hanging the irons on
0:07:32 > 0:07:34if you wanted to hang the irons on.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35But what a lovely thing.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40It is beautiful. It's got quite a bit of weight.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44People at Bargain Hunt always want to weigh things. They do!
0:07:44 > 0:07:47There's this thing about weight and value and quality.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49But I think, you know, even the lightest thing
0:07:49 > 0:07:51can be of the most superb quality.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54I just love her dress and the bows and the rope
0:07:54 > 0:07:56and the stringing around the bodice.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59The proportions are really, really nice as well, actually,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01from the skirt and the long arms.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03It's absolutely wonderful and her face is quite good.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- I actually like it.- You actually like it? I think it's good.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09What's your best on it?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- £110.- It's £110.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17- I could do £90. - £80. £80?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Let's go £85.- £85?- Yes.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- I think it's a good thing. - Is that a fair price?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I think at auction, it's £100, £150.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- I think it's a really nice thing. - Beautiful.- I really like it.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- First item? Done.- Fantastic, thank you very much.- Wonderful.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39- Well, let's make sure our next two are as good.- Yes.- There's pressure.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40It is pressure.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42TIM: Touche, blues.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44You truly can take the heat
0:08:44 > 0:08:48and that's both teams with one item apiece in less than eight minutes.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Now, do the Reds have a theme building already?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52From a glovebox to a handbag.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Love, that's gorgeous, isn't it?
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Oh, that is lovely. 1950s bag.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Never used, 45... That's lovely. What do you think?
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- I don't know whether it would make...- I don't think it would.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09No, you see that's the trouble. We all love it, don't we?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Yeah, but it's probably for us. - Yes, I know.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Listen, we'll be fighting over it, won't we? Handbags at dawn!
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Well, we wouldn't want that now, would we, Reds?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20We're shoppers, not fighters.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Mind you, those blues have come across something shocking.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29That's like a Victorian... table toy, isn't it?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Well, a toy?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- As in shock treatment. - Yeah, electric shock.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35God! Toy?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37It is, it's an electric shock.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40So you would hold these things, it would be stimulating muscles, hair.
0:09:40 > 0:09:46- You hold one for me.- No, thank you. You hold it, honey!- Yeah.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Do you see it's going to be a very...?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52They do have a following.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Definitely.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- It has to be a specialist sale, though.- Yes, that's right.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59And we're not going to a specialist sale but they do have a following.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Definitely. You can always come back to it if you're desperate.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Think about it.- If you need to be shocked into buying something.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Come on.- Lovely, thank you. - Thank you so much.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I never cease to be amazed by the wacky, weird
0:10:11 > 0:10:14and downright gruesome things you can find at these fairs.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20In stark contrast, nothing shocking about the Reds' latest dalliance.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Oh, what about this table? I really like the style of that.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Now, that is very interesting because it's...
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Antique of the future, surely?
0:10:28 > 0:10:33Yes, but funnily enough these Ercol styles went right off the boil
0:10:33 > 0:10:36and they're reissuing them now, some of them are coming back
0:10:36 > 0:10:38and they're terribly popular.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41The young ones want it today.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I like it, but again, it's how much we can get it for, really.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Well, shall we put it on the backburner and we'll have a think?
0:10:50 > 0:10:51With the early excitement eroded,
0:10:51 > 0:10:55our teams are now being a bit more considered.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00It's a little snuff box. Very tight in there so snuff wouldn't come out.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03And you take a pinch and stick it up your nose.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05What do you like about it?
0:11:05 > 0:11:06I'm a carpenter by trade, so...
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Are you, a joiner?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Yes, so it's made of a quality timber, being rosewood,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14and it feels like it's hardly been opened.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Mm. No, because it's quite stiff. Probably never been used really.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Olga, what do you think?
0:11:19 > 0:11:23You don't look like you're giving it much love!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Um, well, it's quite pretty.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28It's interesting how the hinge is fixed as well.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- It is, isn't it?- Just with pins.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Would you say that is quite a collectable?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36They are collectable, snuffs are collectable. How much is it?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- It's £55.- £55, 19th-century snuff.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I think you will have to work at that.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- I'll do £38.- £38?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- That's not a bad price, £38. - Isn't it?- It's not bad.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Fighting chance? - You've got a fighting chance.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54I like to keep figures round. Either zeros or fives.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Because otherwise, I'm a bit simple. I can't really work out the maths.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I'll do £35 then.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- That's rounding it off, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- That's not a bad lot really, it's quite sweet.- Yeah?
0:12:03 > 0:12:07It's a good-looking thing. Like the little inlay in there of the star.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Can we come back to that? Is that OK?- OK.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- I like that.- Good spot.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15TIM: And at £35, that's not to be sniffed at.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Right, now I think our red team have gone completely off topic.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Time to address the situation, Caroline!
0:12:23 > 0:12:28- Oh, look at this dress! - Wow, that is pretty. That's amazing.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31How gorgeous is that? Quite stylish earrings, aren't they?
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Nice!
0:12:32 > 0:12:37- Look at those hearts! - That's sweet.- See that, Claire?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Not quite what I meant, Caroline.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Now there's definitely something in the air
0:12:46 > 0:12:50because Olga is showing off her feminine side too.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Can you see the work involved in that?
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Almost like a cotton twist running through the scent bottle here.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00If you turn it over, the base, you can see where it started
0:13:00 > 0:13:04so the glassblower has started with the cotton twist inside the glass
0:13:04 > 0:13:10and blown it with his pipe and his tools to make the scent bottle.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14But what is fascinating about this is it's made in Italy.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Look at the uniform lines of the spiral.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21They're almost perfect, aren't they? Do you like that?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23It's very pretty, yeah. Is it collectable at all?
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Yes, it's a scent bottle,
0:13:24 > 0:13:28scent bottles - A, are collectable, B, it's Murano.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31What's the best on this? How about being really kind to us?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Really kind?- Yeah.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- £50.- Not a 45?- No.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- Really? - Really.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- At £50, have we got a fighting chance?- You have, yes, you have.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45It's a good thing. Like it. What do you want to do?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Go for it, I think.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48It's quality.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51It's a bit of quality again, isn't it? What do you think?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53TIM: What's it to be, Olga?
0:13:54 > 0:13:55- You're still in...- No.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- I'm not a...- No! Olga said no. - I'm sorry!- We could come back.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03- Let's go on, come on. We've spent enough time here.- Lovely.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Might see you later.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Olga is certainly taking the lead in this team, I see.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Best foot forward, hey?
0:14:11 > 0:14:12- Photo frames?- No.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- No, not your thing?- No.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- Olga, what do you think? - Hmm...No.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- No?- No.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Well, what do they say? One team's trash is another team's treasure.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Hello, could we have a look at this, please? And look at that box!
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- Lovely case, isn't it?- Beautiful. It doesn't really matter what's in it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36It doesn't! I don't care what's in it. It might be empty.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- It is lovely.- Oh!
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- Oh, that's pretty.- It is.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Now, sadly, some silvering and the mirror's gone.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50It's all original, silk-lined. It's a little manicure set.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- You would put the powder in these boxes.- Right.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Buffing powder.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58This, covered in this lovely chamois leather
0:14:58 > 0:15:00and you buff up your nails with that.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Lovely.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- The whole thing is there and it's original.- Beautiful.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- It's really pretty. - Do you fancy a go at this?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Yes, should we give it a go? - Yeah.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Excuse me, sir.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13What is your very best price for these very lovely ladies?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- £35.- It does?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- £35 is the very best. - 35?- No, I'm sorry.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20£35, that is the very best.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23It wasn't expensively marked in the first place.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25What do you think?
0:15:25 > 0:15:30I think it's lovely. The damage is this silk here and the mirror.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Yeah.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- And that's the only damage. - It's a pretty thing.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36The case is lovely.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38£30 and we have a chance.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41I don't think we'd do at £35.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42- Um...- Please?
0:15:42 > 0:15:48- OK, I'll take £30.- Thank you so much. - Thank you.- Three happy ladies.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Thank you. Please! That is beautiful.- It's a really nice piece.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Well done, ladies.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54TIM: It'll be interesting to see
0:15:54 > 0:15:56how the manicure set does at auction later.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Will the blues rue the day they overlooked it?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02The Reds really have the bit between their teeth now.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05They've certainly put their stamp on this shop.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06That is lovely, that.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- Silver mounted. Here, can you see the silver marks?- Beautiful.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14That's silver mounted. Just thinking, on somebody's desk.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Can we just move these a little? That's a nice quality, it's lovely.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- It's lovely, isn't it? - You are a good spotter, and you?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I'd like to shop with you a lot!
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I just think for somebody's desk, so decorative.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Very nice. Just check that the bottles are in order.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- There's a little knock on that. - What a shame!
0:16:32 > 0:16:34It's at the back, which is a good thing.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I think it's a good-looking...
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Every single piece of silver on there is all hallmarked.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Yes, you can see.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Each tiny piece.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47The only thing, we are not knocking it, but it just has been knocked.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48It has damage, yes.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51It has that damage but each single bit is hallmarked
0:16:51 > 0:16:53and it's a really quality piece.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58What is the absolute "ssh" on it, please?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- Please be...- £95.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- It's a nice lot.- It is. - What about £90?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Ooh!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Yes.- Ooh!
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Girls, do you want it? - Yes, let's do it.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Brilliant. - So kind. Thank you very much.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22Thank you. So, that's £150 for me. Goody!
0:17:22 > 0:17:25I'm going to go shopping, bye!
0:17:25 > 0:17:27TIM: Hold your horses, Caroline.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30I haven't handed over the leftover lolly yet.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Well done, Reds. All done and dusted inside 30 minutes.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36The pressure to perform is back on the Blues.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42Hang on! What's Olga spotted? I thought she wanted something pretty.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44So, a copper coal scuttle.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49With brass handles and Delft style handles.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- Is that quite unusual? - Hmm.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55It's not common. It's not uncommon.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57I quite like the solder around here.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00What have you got on this?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- £30.- £30.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- How old do you think it is? - Um, 1920s.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Of course, this is helmet shaped.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Because if I turn it over the other way, it looks like a Greek helmet.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- It does.- Doesn't it? Do you like it? - I actually quite like it.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Why do you like it? Do you like the shape?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20It just looks like it's elegant to put by the fireplace.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- You'd be setting quite a rules area.- Exactly.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- Would you take £20 for it? - What do you think?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Can you do it £20? - Course I would, to you.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- Of course he would, of course he says "I would."- Fantastic.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- Do you want to buy it?- Yes, please. - Coal scuttle at 20? Yes, please.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Second item done.- Thank you very much, thank you.- That was quick.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Well done.- Thank you very much. - Thank you so much.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42TIM: A quick decision, yes.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47But that's just over 40 minutes gone with still one item remaining.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Now it seems photographer Olga has found her own focus.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- We may have to send in Steve. - Olga, Olga!
0:18:55 > 0:18:57She's not interested. She's just not interested.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Come on, honey. Come on!
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Oh! I love it!- Do you like it? - Absolutely love it.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12It's silver, with little green eyes to it.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- I absolutely love it. - Salamander or a lizard.- Yes.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Is that up your street?- Absolutely. - You would buy that, would you?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- I would buy that. - It's not broken.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23It's perfect. What did you say?
0:19:23 > 0:19:24£65.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- 60?- I've already got... - It's continental.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- I tell you what, I just love it. - You love it, do you?
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Yeah, I would...
0:19:35 > 0:19:40The little marker seeds, so these are cut steel simulating diamonds
0:19:40 > 0:19:43with paste little green eyes to simulate emeralds
0:19:43 > 0:19:47or demantoid garnets, little salamander lizard
0:19:47 > 0:19:50and again on a silver setting there.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Isn't it lovely?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- And you can imagine that, you know, on somebody.- Oh, yes.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- You can imagine it on me. - Just crawling up.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59It's beautiful, yeah. Absolutely love it.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01It's lovely. Should we get it? Third and final item.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- Absolutely, definitely. - You like that?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- Yeah, it's good.- Sold.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11That's it. Three items down. I didn't think you'd do it.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Wow, that was lovely. Thank you very much.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Cor, when our teams put their mind to it,
0:20:15 > 0:20:18there really is no stopping them.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Well done, teams!
0:20:19 > 0:20:23The 60 minutes are up. Let's check out what the red team bought.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Stop taking the Mickey, you!
0:20:26 > 0:20:28In next to no time,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31they got their mitts on the Victorian burr walnut glovebox for just £30.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36They bought the leather cased manicure set, also for £30.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42The oak and silver ink stand was their final buy at £90.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Well, that was fun, wasn't it? - It was fantastic, brilliant.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46- And you've spent how much?- £150.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49That is a really good amount of money.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Which is your favourite piece? - I think it's the burr walnut box.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- It's beautiful, yeah. Really, good.- Slightly damaged.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- You agree with that?- Little bit worried about that, but let's see.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- But is that your favourite? - No, mine is the manicure set.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- I absolutely love the leather casing. It's great.- Right.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Anyway, OK. You've spent £150.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I'd like the £150 of leftover lolly
0:21:08 > 0:21:11which I hand straight over to the heroine of the piece.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Thank you, Tim.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- What are you going to do with it? - I've got a few ideas.- Have you?
0:21:15 > 0:21:19We've looked at a lot of things, but I've got a few ideas.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22And there's plenty here to choose from. That's the joy of it, isn't it?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Anyway, good luck with your pick. Good luck with your rest.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the blue team bought, eh?
0:21:28 > 0:21:33First up, they lavished £85 on the late Victorian figural fireguard.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Then, after much to-ing and fro-ing,
0:21:36 > 0:21:40they scooped up the brass and copper coal helmet for £20.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45And finally, the lizard brooch was netted for a splendid £65.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Well, you lovely lot, you've just finished. What a relief that is.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- Now, was she definite or was she definite, Tom?- Oh, was she definite!
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- No mucking about, right?- I loved it, I loved the directness.- Yes.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58OK, which is your favourite piece, Olga?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- I think the brooch is my favourite. - It's your favourite?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03OK, what about you, do you agree with that?
0:22:03 > 0:22:04I would say the fireguard.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06The fireguard is your favourite favourite?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08And is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- No, we don't think so.- Yeah, we think it's going to be a bucket.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13The coal scuttle.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- It sounds a little bit better than...- Bucket!
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- Bucket.- The coal scuttle.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Fine, the coal scuttle is your prediction for the best profit.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21- How much did you spend all-round? - £170.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23That is absolutely brilliant.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26I'd like £130 of leftover lolly, please. Thank you.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- Hand it over to our man. - Thank you.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30What are you going to do with that then, Tom Tom?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33With these two, it's got to be quality and it's got to be stylish.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Otherwise you're in trouble, right?- Am I in trouble?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38You're in trouble! Anyway, relax up now.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Meanwhile, we're going to have a little look at something I found earlier.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49What does this look like?
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Standard set of bellows, right?
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Inflate the bellows, give it a puff, inflate the bellows, give it a puff.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Embers in a fireplace, log bursts into flame
0:23:01 > 0:23:03and everybody is happy, right?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Well, I would advise you to look again.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Because if you look at the timber that's been used on these bellows,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13it ain't oak, it ain't mahogany, it isn't walnut.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15It's actually teak.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18And you'd only use teak for bellows like this
0:23:18 > 0:23:20in a special circumstance.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Where is teak used?
0:23:22 > 0:23:25To construct ships, to lay teak decks,
0:23:25 > 0:23:28to have teak outdoor furniture
0:23:28 > 0:23:31because teak doesn't rot very easily.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36That's why the bellows bit of this thing is made of teak
0:23:36 > 0:23:39because this was designed to go to sea.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42And that is why it has got this blunderbuss,
0:23:42 > 0:23:46this tapering horn type shaft at the end
0:23:46 > 0:23:54and if I unscrew that from the very nice cast brass central spigot,
0:23:54 > 0:24:00it reveals inside the thread a little sounding tube
0:24:00 > 0:24:03because this thing, in the middle of the 19th century,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06before you had any electricity on ships,
0:24:06 > 0:24:10would have been used to warn other shipping in foggy conditions
0:24:10 > 0:24:15that you were coming close by and somebody would stand in the bows
0:24:15 > 0:24:17and give it a great big hoot, like this.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20HORN HOOTS LOUDLY
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Well, not exactly, actually,
0:24:24 > 0:24:29because the leather has perished on this particular bellows foghorn
0:24:29 > 0:24:34but it is a model which is known and is today extremely collectable.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38It is called a Triton bellows foghorn
0:24:38 > 0:24:43and examples can be found in marine collectable sales.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48The latest one of which happened in New York last year
0:24:48 > 0:24:54and guess how much an identical Triton pattern bellows foghorn made
0:24:54 > 0:24:56in that specialist sale.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Would you believe it? 2,100.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03That is about £1,250.
0:25:03 > 0:25:09So, £50 up the road there in Norwich, £1,250 at auction in New York.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Is that something to blow your trumpet about?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Well, let's see if our teams have anything to sound off about
0:25:17 > 0:25:20when their items go up for sale over at the auction house.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30Well, it's always a treat to come to TW Gaze's saleroom in Diss in Norfolk
0:25:30 > 0:25:32and of course to see Elizabeth Talbot.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- It's a treat to have you here, Tim. Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Now, for the red team, they've got some pretty good lots, I think.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42£30 paid for the this burr walnut glove box.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45It's certainly got the patination of its years, hasn't it?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47It has and actually I like that.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50A lot of boxes these days that come through the auction
0:25:50 > 0:25:52have been through the hands of well-meaning restorers
0:25:52 > 0:25:55and that can actually knock something off their charm.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58I think it's better for being nice and honest.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Exactly. How much?- £40-£60.- Perfect.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04That is a perfectly patinated price because they only paid £30.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Excellent.- That's good, isn't it? So that's all right.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Now, if you fancy doing up your nails big time,
0:26:09 > 0:26:13but not terribly desirable in today's market, is it?
0:26:13 > 0:26:17No, I suppose it fits nicely into the vintage fashion element
0:26:17 > 0:26:20of the market which is quite strong at the moment.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- Yeah.- And the box is lovely, actually.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- I think it's beautifully made. - Yes, so how much?- £35-£45.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Perfect, they paid £30 which is the right price.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31So they paid exactly the right money, retail, for two objects here
0:26:31 > 0:26:33so I'm already warming to this team.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Very good.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38And lastly we've got what I call the corporation style inkwell.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42That could be on the mayor's desk, couldn't it?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- It is quite robust, isn't it? - It is robust.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Particularly that handle that sits there with a bar on the top
0:26:47 > 0:26:49saying, "I'm not to be messed with, me."
0:26:49 > 0:26:53So, very robust, very angular, very workmanlike
0:26:53 > 0:26:55but with solid silver mounts.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56Absolutely, and very practical.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Yeah, bung your pen on there
0:26:58 > 0:27:00and anybody who likes a bit of fountain pen work
0:27:00 > 0:27:02can use it to refill.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03And how much is it worth?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Well, we've put £80 to £120 on that.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- And it could make £150, it could make £180, couldn't it?- It might do.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- Quite reasonable, yes. - Quite reasonable.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- And our lot paid £80.- Very good. - So I give "dix points" to this team.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16I think they've done absolutely brilliantly
0:27:16 > 0:27:18and deserve to make a whopping great profit
0:27:18 > 0:27:20in which case they won't need their bonus buy
0:27:20 > 0:27:23but we're going to have a look at it anyway.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Now, girls, this is a nice moment, isn't it?
0:27:25 > 0:27:28You spent £150. Caroline, over to you, darling.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Ooh! Here we are, are you ready? Are you ready, ladies?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Whoo! - Oh, my goodness gracious.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Suits you.- Do you like it? - Dear, oh, dear.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- That's interesting. - That's different.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46Isn't it just gorgeous? It is lined in gold lame.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- That must've taken you ages to make. - I'm exhausted!
0:27:49 > 0:27:55It is 1980s/'90s vintage evening coat
0:27:55 > 0:27:58and it is just so stunning.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- Different.- Different.- It is!
0:28:00 > 0:28:01- Terrible.- Would you wear it?
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- Um... I don't... - I don't think...- Would you wear it?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- Not in the Lake District. - Tim, would you wear it?
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- Definitely not.- I don't know what it would look like with the wellies on.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13It's for dressing up, isn't it? Stage, isn't it?
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Well, you could wear it on stage
0:28:15 > 0:28:17but you could also wear it to a really glamorous party
0:28:17 > 0:28:18over a little black dress.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22- Could you?!- Yeah! I would. - Would you?!
0:28:22 > 0:28:25What sort of parties do you go to?
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- Well, I don't know. - I love it and I have faith.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29- Well, much was it?- How much was it?
0:28:29 > 0:28:34That's the million-dollar question. It wasn't 1 million, it was £55.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- Oh, that's not so bad, is it? - I think it might make £80. £60-£80.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41I wonder whether the people from the pantomime are in today.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- They might like it.- Anyway, are you happy?- Yes.- I think it's fab.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- Very lovely, very different. - Very interesting.- OK, super.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50On that happy note, why don't we find out
0:28:50 > 0:28:53what the auctioneer thinks about Caroline's gown.
0:28:54 > 0:28:59Well, here we go, Elizabeth. A little something for you to dress up in.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01This would be perfect for the midst of Diss. I like this, yes.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03TIM LAUGHS
0:29:03 > 0:29:04You'd get arrested, wouldn't you,
0:29:04 > 0:29:06if you went down your high street in this?
0:29:06 > 0:29:07Nobody would bat an eyelid.
0:29:07 > 0:29:12So, if you were dressing up for your Oscar Wilde revival party
0:29:12 > 0:29:13and you went to a theatrical costumier
0:29:13 > 0:29:15to hire an outfit like this,
0:29:15 > 0:29:17it would cost you £50 to hire it for the night, wouldn't it?
0:29:17 > 0:29:20That would just be the deposit probably, to be fair.
0:29:20 > 0:29:21Well, there you are.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Whereas here, you could, according to Caroline, buy it for £55.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25What would you sell it for?
0:29:25 > 0:29:28We're hoping to agree with her because we put £50-£80 on it.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Really? A lot of dressing up goes on in the countryside?
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- I don't like to spread too many rumours, but a fair bit.- Yeah.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35SHE LAUGHS
0:29:35 > 0:29:36Say no more.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39OK, that's it for the reds and now for the blues.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41- They've gone all metallic on us.- Yes.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45They've gone and bought this figural spark guard.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Yes, lacking its utensils and fire irons.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50It would have been hung with them at the back
0:29:50 > 0:29:52so all we have is literally the...
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- Oh, I see. So no fire irons.- No.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58- Well, it's quite funky.- Yes.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00- And unusual even though it's lacking its irons.- Yes.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04- How much?- An optimistic £50 to £80.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06OK, £85 paid, so we're on the money.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10Next is the helmet-shaped coal helmet.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12How do you rate that?
0:30:12 > 0:30:14It's brass and copper, but it is very tinny.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I don't like it. No quality. Decorative.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18I don't like the ceramic handles, do you?
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- No, it's quite straightforward, really. Practical.- It's practical.
0:30:21 > 0:30:26- And not worth much.- No. £20-£30. - Well, they only paid £20.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28So they paid the right money for that. Good.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30And then we've got old lizard face down here.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- Pardon?- My least favourite object.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35At the time, it was a very stylish thing to have,
0:30:35 > 0:30:37reptiles and insects in jewellery,
0:30:37 > 0:30:39so I think it could actually replicate
0:30:39 > 0:30:41people's appreciation of that vintage period.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Clearly.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46All the marcasite seems to be in good order. It's a dramatic piece.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- And on a little black number, Tim, you might be persuaded.- Might I?
0:30:49 > 0:30:51SHE LAUGHS
0:30:51 > 0:30:53I haven't got many of those little black numbers.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55- So what's your estimate?- £35-£45.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Oh, dear, that's not so much. £65 paid.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00So, you see, if there is a dark hole, that is
0:31:00 > 0:31:02the one that they're going to fall into with the reptiles.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06And they will need their bonus buy so let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- Stephen, Olga, this is your big moment, right.- Ready?
0:31:10 > 0:31:11Ready for this?
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Well, I had you in mind, Olga, through all of this.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- It is from Imperial Russia. - Really?
0:31:17 > 0:31:21- With love? - It is, yeah, from Russia with love.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25It is a piece of Imperial porcelain, so before the revolution.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26It is beautiful.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30And like all things Russian, it's shiny, it's glitzy,
0:31:30 > 0:31:33it's glamorous and it's detailed, just like you.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38I didn't spend all the money, it was two figures, £90.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42If you get the internet bids happening from Russia
0:31:42 > 0:31:45it could actually do quite well.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- You could get three figures easily. - Do you like it?- Yes, very much.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52Does it give you a little pulse from the motherland?
0:31:52 > 0:31:54- Not really, no.- Oh!
0:31:54 > 0:31:56OK, fine. No pulse from the motherland.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59I came from St Petersburg, there aren't any palm trees there.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03No palm trees in St Petersburg. That is a dead cert. OK, good.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Right now let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Tom's pot.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10- What they used to call a bud vase, isn't it?- Yes.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12I mean, in the shape of a bud and you'd have a little single...
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Just one little flower.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16I think this is really, really charming.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Exquisite detail on such a small piece.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20I think it's lost something from the top.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Perhaps a flared neck or a slightly taller neck.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25But the charming thing is that somebody valued that sufficiently
0:32:25 > 0:32:28not then to discard it, so it's still here to be appreciated.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30So what is your estimate?
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Well, we put £60-£80 on it because we don't see much Russianware
0:32:33 > 0:32:36and there are some very enthusiastic collectors out there
0:32:36 > 0:32:37who hopefully will take an interest.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41£60-£80 is the estimate, £90 paid by Thomas Plant
0:32:41 > 0:32:44and he knows his onions when it comes to this Russian stuff
0:32:44 > 0:32:46- so we'll have to cross our legs and hope for the best.- Indeed.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- Have a jolly good cross. - Yes, I will do.- Lovely.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53£50, all done.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- Now, Claire, Diane, how are you feeling?- Nervous.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- Are you?- Yeah.- And excited. - Are you?- And excited.- Yes.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02So, Claire, have you got any particular problem
0:33:02 > 0:33:03with any particular object?
0:33:03 > 0:33:04Do you know, I like them all.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- Yeah.- I really do, so I'm happy.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Well, unusually, I am able to report that the auctioneer
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- pretty well likes all your objects too.- Oh, good.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17She thinks the Victorian wee box with its very original colour
0:33:17 > 0:33:20hasn't been tarted up and it's exactly as it should be.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- You paid £30. She has put £40-£60 on it.- Oh, that's good.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27Because it ticks all her boxes for originality, which is lovely.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30The manicure set, she hasn't seen a better-looking box in years.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Then, if all else fails, you've got that hideous coat.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- I mean, you've got that...- Tim!
0:33:34 > 0:33:38- My gold lame evening coat. - The gold lame to fall back on.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- Yes.- Well, well. Yeah. - Yeah? All right, lovely.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46So, first up then is your Victorian bound box and here it comes.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50Lot 128, Victorian burr walnut brass-bound glove box.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51It is in lovely condition there.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Nice original patination to that one.
0:33:53 > 0:33:5530 to start. 30 bid. Thank you.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57- 30 I have. I'll take 32. - That's what you paid.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00At 32 is the lady. 35, 38, new bidder.
0:34:00 > 0:34:0440 is now standing bid with the gentleman. 42 is the lady. 45.
0:34:04 > 0:34:0548 is bid.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- I'm looking for 50 now. - I'm loving it.- At the £48.- £48.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Are you all done at 48?
0:34:10 > 0:34:15£48. You're plus £18 at a stroke.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Now here comes the manicure set.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Lot 129, the leather-cased manicure set.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22It's a lovely box this, actually, with nice contents there.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- It's really lovely, isn't it? - It's really nice.- Start at £22.
0:34:26 > 0:34:32£22, 25, 28, 32, 35, 38, 42.
0:34:32 > 0:34:3445, 48, 55.
0:34:34 > 0:34:3660 is now the gentleman ahead of me in the room.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37- We've got 55.- Wow.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41At 60, I'll take 65. At £60, the gentleman's bid. Any advance?
0:34:42 > 0:34:45£60 is plus £30, which means you're plus £48.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- Can this be true? - I can't believe it.
0:34:47 > 0:34:48Can this be a dream?
0:34:49 > 0:34:53- Now, the ink stand.- Here we go.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55- Look out, girls.- Sheffield 1910.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Interest on the sheet shown here
0:34:57 > 0:34:59- and I start at £32.- What?
0:34:59 > 0:35:0232 I have. At 32 I have, I'll take 35.
0:35:02 > 0:35:0435, 38, 42,
0:35:04 > 0:35:0545, 48,
0:35:05 > 0:35:0950, 55, 60, 65, 70 in pink.
0:35:09 > 0:35:1275. 80 is now upstairs, I'm out.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- It's £80, the lady in the gallery. - Oh, come on.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15- It could still make more.- Come on.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18At £80 on the ink stand. Surely worth more.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- Are you all done at £80?- No!
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- Aw.- £80.- Well...
0:35:23 > 0:35:25- That's a shocker. - I can't believe that.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- Minus £10.- Aw.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30- I mean, I can't tell you, I'm shattered, guys.- I am.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32There we are - minus £10. You've done very well.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35You had a profit of £48, you've now got a profit of £38.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Now, are you going to risk some of that £38
0:35:38 > 0:35:41in going with the old lame job or what's the plan?
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- Hmm.- What do you think? - It's a high-risk strategy.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46- I'm afraid not.- No. - I don't think so.- You think not?
0:35:46 > 0:35:48- No, that's absolutely fine. - Is that all right?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50- Are you sure? - Of course it's all right.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- You are not going with the bonus buy. - We are not.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55But we're going to sell it anyway.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Stand by for the Jimi Hendrix coat.
0:35:57 > 0:35:58- Yes.- We might kick ourselves, Claire.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02Lot 134, the vintage evening coat.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05See you about town in this this evening. Start me at 50.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06Come on, £50.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Party season is upon us. £50, surely.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13£20, 20 bid. 20 at the front, I'll take 22.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16It's £20 bid now. You can't let it go for that.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Surely worth more. At £20.
0:36:18 > 0:36:2222. Go on, it matches your eyes, sir. 25.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26At 25 is the front. Downstairs at 25. Is that all it's worth at 25?
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- Can I not tempt you? 28, gentleman.- Oh!- Here we go.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33At £28, the gentleman in the middle. Bid at 28. Any advance on 28?
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- £28 is £2 off £30.- Aw!
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- 30, 40, 55. - I'm in a league of my own.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- Never mind, darling.- Minus £27.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Anyway, you didn't go with it, which is perfect.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49You are plus £38, which could easily be a winning score.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- Ooh!- So, I applaud you. Well done.- Thank you.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Don't say a word to the blues.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Now, Stephen, Olga, do you know what the reds did?
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- No.- No.- You don't? - No, not at all.- All right.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Are you nervous, you two, or something?
0:37:10 > 0:37:11- A little.- Yeah.- A little.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13- Air of expectation, I guess. - Is that what it is?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Well, let's have a look at the auctioneer's estimates.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19You got that fireguard, right? Modelled as a girl.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Very unusual but missing its irons behind.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Apparently she says that's a bit of a killer.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27That's why she has put £50-£80 on it.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29The coal helmet you only paid £20 for.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31OK, it's not very old, it's not very good quality,
0:37:31 > 0:37:33but she's estimated it at £20-£30,
0:37:33 > 0:37:36so you might make a good profit on that if she's right.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39And then the marcasite lizard brooch, which I've been very rude about.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- Really?- You didn't like it, did you? - I didn't.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46- £35-£45 she put on that, at £65 paid.- Oh, dear.
0:37:46 > 0:37:51OK. Now, first up is your fireguard, which is very unusual.
0:37:52 > 0:37:53And here it comes.
0:37:53 > 0:37:54Lot 150 now.
