In fact, took three months to clean this coving. 364 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,320 We had dental equipment to do it, 365 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,560 and the guys were spitting feathers most of the week. 366 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,800 Obviously, we can't buy anything in the house. 367 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,560 Right, we've got plenty outside. 368 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,600 Can we have a look?Yes, please do. 369 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,360 Not having a drink first?(LAUGHTER) Later.All right. 370 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,760 It's a lovely high-end stables here. 371 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,040 Beautiful.

Chinese one, is it? 377 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,920 Out of all these very smart chairs, it's the dirtiest grottiest one, 378 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:09,000 but its form is really good. It's just got something about it. 379 00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:14,880 The curving back splat on this chair is typical of an 18th-19th century 380 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,120 Chinese chair style, now known as an Official's Hat chair, 381 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,040 perhaps because the top of the backrest 382 00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:23,640 has a soft curve and elegant wingtips. 383 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,480 These were formal chairs, and despite needing some restoration, 384 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,520 Drew thinks this beautifully constructed 385 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,200 19th century example could fetch around £400. 386 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,360 I think I'd be happy to pay £200. Don't think I'd pay any more. 387 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,960 Okay, 200.Sure?Deal.

So she's paying 391 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,560 at the top of the market for certain things, 392 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,800 that're mostly in the house. And to be honest, 393 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,080 you need to do that in there. You need to be buying very good things. 394 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,520 The chair, though, the maximum I'll pay for it is £200. 395 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,840 I don't want to pay any more. I really love it. 396 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,480 And she says, "Yeah, why not? Let's have a deal." 397 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,280 You like red?I do like red.

We got five. 401 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,760 An odd number, five. Five is not a good number. 402 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,920 Lloyd Loom chairs.

It's a long distance. 541 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,960 They were built to travel far. Built to travel. 542 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,440 I presume it then came back to the UK.Yep. 543 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,640 What happened next? Well, this is where the story takes 544 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,320 a slightly sad turn. 545 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,560 It departed from Liverpool on its way back down to Australia, 546 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,400 got as far as the southern oceans and was not heard of or seen again 547 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,880 Unfortunately.Really? Yeah. Very sad. 548 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,360 Likelihood is it probably hit an iceberg and sank. 549 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,400 Right. Okay.

It's got a story. It's got history. Yeah. 559 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,920 I've learned that today.Yeah.
