00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:03,175
Across Britain,
2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:07,575
behind the doors of homes of all
shapes and sizes,
3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,295
lie astonishing hoards of potential
treasures.
4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:12,375
We're not collectors.
5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,135
We are... Hoarders.
6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,415
We are actually hoarders.
7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,375
The extraordinary owners
8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,415
have crammed their rooms with items
they've acquired and curated...
9
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,295
I remember counting 600 dresses long
ago.
10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,455
Is there a space anywhere?
11
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,735
I believe more is more, is more.
12
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,255
...or obsessively collected.
13
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,535
I seem to keep buying cars.
14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,735
But faced with challenging times...
15
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,335
There's definitely been things that
have kept us awake at night.
16
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:43,975
The walls are falling down.
17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,335
We're absolutely desperate for
money.
18
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,695
...will a valuable item amongst their
hoard
19
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,895
provide the windfall they desperately
need?
20
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,295
I think there might be hidden
treasures here
21
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,175
that we're really unaware of.
22
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,175
It's exciting.
23
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,815
Now, the best in the world of
antiques and collectables...
24
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,295
People do call me Mr. Miscellaneous,
25
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:08,575
because I just love all sorts of
objects.
26
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,535
...will use their experience...
27
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:11,815
As a pawnbroker,
28
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,815
I see a variety of objects every
single day
29
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,815
and I do know the best way to get
the best price for them.
30
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,015
...expert eye...
31
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,695
For me, it's all about creating a
look
32
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,175
and that's what really sells.
33
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,975
...and contacts...
34
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,575
Rock stars, A-listers - they're all
in my little black book.
35
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,495
...to identify the treasures...
36
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,215
Whoever thought these were a great
idea?
37
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,535
...and sell them for much needed
funds.
38
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,415
They're insane! I'm so happy.
39
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,735
But will the hoards deliver the
goods?
40
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:41,695
I've got some bad news.
41
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,975
No value whatsoever.
42
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,295
And will these extreme collectors
43
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:49,175
be able to part with their beloved
possessions...
44
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,535
You see, I wouldn't sell that one.
45
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,855
It's my favourite.
46
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,175
...to change their lives for the
better?
47
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,335
Sold!
48
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,695
Wow. You bought very well. Yeah.
49
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,535
I have to ask the million dollar
question.
50
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,455
A million is not far from the
dollar.
51
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:04,655
Oh, my God.
52
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,375
It's a new week in East London,
53
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,935
and Ronnie has gathered the team
54
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,215
to discuss a call that's come in
55
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,695
asking for their help.
56
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,055
I've been contacted by,
57
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,975
what sounds like, a very interesting
couple.
58
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,455
They're artists.
59
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,895
Their house is full of stuff
60
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:40,935
that they've collected over decades.
61
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,375
Wow. Oh, wow.
62
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,055
Are they are quite elderly, are
they?
63
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,055
In their 70s.
64
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,935
So they've got 50 years of
collecting.
65
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,815
Wow.
66
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,655
PAULA: And did he say the house was
crammed?
67
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,895
That's what she said. She said she
can't move for all the stuff.
68
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:01,935
Wow,
69
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,295
These two sound very, very
interesting.
70
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,135
We're accumulators.
71
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,135
We accumulate things.
72
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,215
I just need to fill every space.
73
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,055
Objects that come into the house,
74
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,455
well, they only come in here
because,
75
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,215
because we like them or we love
them.
76
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,575
You just end up with all this stuff,
which you have to put somewhere.
77
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,855
Before retirement, dress designer,
Carole,
78
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,575
and sculptor, Roger,
79
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,215
filled their nine-bedroom Georgian
pile,
80
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,015
which includes four reception rooms
and a guest house,
81
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,255
with artefacts from all over the
world.
82
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,775
This is a Day of the Dead.
83
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,815
He's playing his guitar and smoking
a spliff.
84
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,855
Now, we got that in New York.
85
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,535
He came from Newark and
86
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,175
these all came from Goa.
87
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,655
We'd collect anything.
88
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,935
Being artists, we love them all
89
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,895
and everything has got a story.
90
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,775
I don't like those.
91
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,935
I think they're really creepy.
92
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,255
Well, you can't throw it away, can
you?
93
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,055
Hmm.
94
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,895
But I'm the one that gets the way,
aren't 1?
95
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,295
What comes in and what goes out?
96
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,895
Well, if I want something... Oh, if you want
something, sure. ..you have, you have to say yes.
97
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,855
Don't you? Oh, yeah. Yeah, always.
Yes.
98
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,375
When Carole and Roger bought the
property in Grantham 36 years ago,
99
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,655
they made sure the interior design
100
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,135
matched their eccentric tastes.
101
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,735
Our wonderful friend, who's a
kitchen designer,
102
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,055
he made all our kitchens and
bathrooms.
103
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,015
Beautifully painted by an artist.
104
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,335
But their property is in dire need of
repair.
105
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,535
Do have a problem with the wiring.
106
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,975
An estimate is £2,000.
107
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,335
Cos it's not just the materials for
the wiring, is it?
108
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,695
I mean there's, half the house is
not usable
109
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,935
because the drains are not
functioning properly or at all.
110
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,575
If we could just make enough money
to do some desperate repairs.
111
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,615
You're talking about
112
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,895
£20,000,
113
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,855
just to keep the house safe.
114
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,295
Now they're retired and living on a
state pension,
115
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,135
the couple have no cash to cover
costs.
116
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,535
That's the problem now,
117
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,695
trying to raise some money to keep
the house safe
118
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,455
and carry on living here, basically.
119
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,935
I think it's actually in danger of
falling down
120
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,215
if we don't get some money spent on
it.
121
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,015
I think there might be hidden
treasures here,
122
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,015
which, you know, we're really
unaware of
123
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,335
and it's wait and see.
124
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,775
Get some fresh eyes here,
125
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,615
somebody who's got the right eye
too, the right taste.
126
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,615
It's exciting.
127
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,575
There you go. Shove those away.
128
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,575
With 40 years of experience
129
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,135
dealing in all things quirky and
collectable,
130
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,055
Ronnie is the expert for the job...
131
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,495
I can see some very interesting
sculpture in the window there.
132
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,735
...and will be looking for three or
four sale able items,
133
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,135
that could free up the £20,000 cash
134
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,575
Roger and Carole need.
135
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,415
Hello. Hello.
136
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,495
I'm Roger. How do you do?
137
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,815
Pleased to meet you. Pleased to meet
you.
138
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:18,735
Wow.
139
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,335
I don't know what to look at first.
140
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,895
Well, let's head this way.
141
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,775
Oh, my word!
142
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,775
Carole used to make these. Dresses?
Yeah.
143
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,135
So these are all your creations?
Mm-hmm.
144
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,455
So that's what you are, a fashion
designer?
145
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,935
That's why the house is like this.
146
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,895
A collector extraordinaire? Yeah.
147
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,455
This is our white room, Ronnie.
148
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,655
I don't know where to look first.
149
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,455
When I walked through Carole and
Roger's door,
150
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,375
it was like an assault on the visual
senses,
151
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,855
but in a really good way.
152
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,215
Ganesh's everywhere.
153
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,215
I love this one here.
154
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,535
I was feeling like a child in a
sweet shop.
155
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,575
That table is amazing... Yeah.
156
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,375
...with the hand supports on the
chairs to go with them.
157
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,255
They're, they're carved wood? Yes.
158
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:08,895
We think it's sweet chestnut.
159
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,255
Cor, all these Palissy crabs and
lobsters and crayfish.
160
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,775
I love the crabs.
161
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,135
And they're, all the detail in
Palissy is what I love.
162
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,055
I mean, it's just so intense
163
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,415
and I know the early Palissy is very
collectable and quite valuable.
164
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,855
These to me look 20th century.
165
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,895
Oh yeah, definitely. Um...
166
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,495
Not high value on its own.
167
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,095
What else have you got?
168
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,815
Oh, God. There's rooms and rooms and
rooms.
169
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,095
Show me. Shall we head on through?
Show me. Show me.
170
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,735
So, once I've got over the
excitement of seeing all this stuff,
171
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,695
I then have to focus and think,
"Right, now I've got to scan.”
172
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,535
You've got thousands of objects.
173
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,175
You've got to pick out the jewel.
174
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,815
Oh, what's that?
175
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,655
I'd know what that was from 100
yards.
176
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:08,095
That's a transcriber vinyl-playing
record deck.
177
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,575
Hasn't played a record for a long
time.
178
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,335
This is one where the needle is on
the lid
179
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,775
and the deck moves. Slides sideways.
180
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,415
Yeah. Yeah, you got it. Yeah.
181
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,255
When I first saw the transcriber
record deck
182
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,615
I was a little frisson of
excitement,
183
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,535
because it's something I've always
wanted myself, actually.
184
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,855
I love things that I've always
wanted.
185
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,455
I can be passionate about them.
186
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:30,895
So, where did you get this?
187
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,495
We saw it in this hi-fi shop, way
back in the '70s
188
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,335
and it was just so different. Yeah.
189
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,855
Well, the funny thing is, we didn't
have any money.
190
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,815
Probably, actually didn't have any
dinner that week.
191
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,415
It was, when we were living in
London back in the '60s.
192
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,775
Mm. Yeah, late '60s. You don't look
old enough.
193
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,615
We...
LAUGHING
194
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,575
...left art school in '68.
195
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,015
We... Which art school were you at?
196
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,975
Hornsey. We were both at Hornsey. I
was at Hornsey.
197
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,695
You never? I was.
198
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,455
Is this in working order?
199
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,255
It could do with a new belt. Apart
from that, I think it's fine.
200
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,895
Well, with a little bit of research,
we could sell it for you, I think. Yeah.
201
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,815
For about 1,500.
202
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,175
If it's something you're prepared
to sell?
203
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,535
Well, this poor thing has to live
underneath the settee.
204
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:15,215
It doesn't really suit the home. I
know.
205
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,575
They don't want this thing.
206
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,975
It's past its sell by date for them,
but not for a collector.
207
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,615
That's a thrill to find a piece like
that.
208
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,975
The transcriber is Ronnie's first
item
209
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,455
that could free up some cash towards
their house repairs.
210
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,335
Look at that tapestry over there.
211
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,095
This is amazing, this thing.
212
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,615
It's the frame, you know.
213
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,975
I think...this is carved wood.
214
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,375
That is such a decorator's piece.
215
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,255
It does need restoring, but it's
superficial.
216
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,695
I can see the moulding round the
top.
217
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,695
I think that came off when, when we
had it delivered. Yeah.
218
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,095
This is something that, I think, an
auction
219
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,055
would value at between £5,000 and
£10,000.
220
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,815
Well, I wouldn't part with it for
less than 20.
221
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:00,815
well...
222
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,815
The amount that Carole wanted for
the tapestry was just too much.
223
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,215
The issue is they love everything,
224
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,735
every single pin in their house
they, they adore
225
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,015
and they're attached to.
226
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,855
Do you like weak, strong?
227
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,655
Builders with a little milk. Same
please, Carole.
228
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:23,895
With half a sugar.
229
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:31,015
I need to find out exactly how many of
Roger and Carole's treasured possessions
230
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,935
they're willing to let go and sell.
231
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,175
I need to understand them better.
232
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,815
I mean, we don't particularly want
to really get rid of anything, do we?
233
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,535
I mean, everything here is stuff we,
we like, treasure...
234
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:46,495
No, well I understand that. ..has a
story.
235
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,575
I'm similar. I've been a collector.
236
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,735
I've had to sell collections, you
know, to pay big bills.
237
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,455
My roof blew off
238
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,335
and I had to sell things to pay for
that because
239
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,815
it's no point ruining your home
because you don't wanna sell something.
240
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,535
I think that's exactly the situation
that we're in.
241
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:04,935
But did you regret losing the
collections?
242
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,295
I would have regretted not having a
roof more. OK.
243
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,175
Yeah. You've got to prioritise.
244
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,015
Yes, but it's something we've never
done.
245
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,935
It's a barrier we've got to break.
Yeah. Yeah.
246
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,135
When you've sold something, it's
gone and that's it
247
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,095
and your money will disappear on
something like paying the electricity.
248
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,535
The money doesn't disappear.
249
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:28,655
The money is replaced by security.
250
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:30,455
By a sound home.
251
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,055
By less worry.
252
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,935
I agree with you, Ronnie, actually.
253
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,415
Good. I get what you're saying. Got someone on
my side. Carole doesn't, cos, I mean, this is...
254
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:38,535
She's, she's very attached.
255
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:41,335
...this is an ongoing argument. She's
got attachment syndrome,
256
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:42,695
which we're going to work on.
257
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,135
But because I've been through the
experience myself,
258
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,935
maybe I can help you go through
yours.
259
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,295
You are putting a whole different,
um...
260
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,655
That's what I'm here to do. ..slant
on everything. Yes.
261
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:56,535
I'm hoping what I'm saying is
helpful.
262
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,255
I understand the retentive syndrome
that they have
263
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,055
because I have it to some degree
264
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,175
and I think, "I really don't want to
let this go," and, you know,
265
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,455
"Do I starve or do I sell it?
266
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:10,815
"I think I'IL starve."
267
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,575
And that's what they're doing.
268
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,535
It's a challenge, but I'm rising to
it.
269
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:17,455
It's not putting me off.
270
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,695
It's making me more determined.
271
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,295
Love this lamp bowl here.
272
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,455
In Grantham,
273
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,695
Ronnie's on the hunt for two or three
sale able items
274
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,535
to help raise £20,000 cash
275
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:39,215
for Carole and Roger's house repairs.
276
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,855
This is like visual acrobatics.
277
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,095
It's overwhelming.
278
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,375
Their collecting is like a runaway
train.
279
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,695
It's made me realise, very quickly
actually,
280
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,255
this isn't a one man job.
281
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,095
To help find the treasures to sell,
282
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,535
he's called on Paula for support.
283
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:01,295
Oh, hello. Hello.
284
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:02,815
Hi. You must be Carole.
285
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,095
And you must be Paula. Hello.
286
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,375
Lovely to meet you. And Ronnie...
Come in.
287
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,775
My whole work is about vintage
lifestyle,
288
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,095
vintage fashion, interiors.
289
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,895
And so I think Ronnie knew that I
would be the person to come
290
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,215
and be as enthusiastic as he is.
291
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,535
Paula, if you don't mind, I'm going
to show you something. Mm.
292
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:27,535
Ronnie was so excited to show me a
cupboard filled with shoes.
293
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:30,015
I'm just going to slip this one out.
294
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,575
They were stuffed in, they were
tumbling on top of each other.
295
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,575
Straight away, you could see the
iconic shapes and the iconic colours
296
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,615
of Salvatore Ferragamo.
297
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,615
This is like suede fish scales...
Wow! ..and mirrored glass heel.
298
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,455
Oh, my goodness. Those are
exquisite.
299
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,775
And these are your tiny little feet,
are they, Carole?
300
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,775
No, no, I just used to collect them.
301
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,815
Salvatore Ferragamo was a famous
shoe designer in the 1930s,
302
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,815
known for dressing the feet of
Hollywood stars.
303
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,695
A lot of these shoes were featured
in films.
304
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,695
Marilyn Monroe had about 40 pairs.
305
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,975
The thing that's most sale able about
these is that they are iconic brands.
306
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,575
If you get the right buyer, they
will pay anything for those items.
307
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,495
So, it just depends on the
authenticity of the shoe,
308
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,095
but also on the condition that
they're in.
309
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,535
Would you sell them?
310
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,015
I'd have to think about it.
311
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:32,495
My eye is quite honed into seeing the shapes,
the textures and the colours of things.
312
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,935
So, I kind of know what I'm looking
for, really.
313
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,175
And actually, this is beautiful.
314
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,855
This is a bronze head.
315
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,295
Probably around 1920s, 1930s
and I think it's Varnier.
316
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,815
It's not meant to look beautiful
or pretty.
317
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,975
It's meant to look...there's drama
happening.
318
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,455
These I've seen will go for around,
between 800 and I'd say 1500.
319
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,335
This is the sort of money that if you get a few
pieces like this, you're starting to be helpful.
320
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,855
So, as Paula finds another potential
item for Carole and Roger's sale pot,
321
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,855
over in East London,
322
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,495
the rest of the team are also
on the hunt.
323
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,575
Have you seen my loop?
324
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,775
Got it here on the desk, Rachel.
325
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,455
Oh, thank you.
326
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,455
It always gets away from me. There
we go. Hooray.
327
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,895
What have you got on at the moment,
then? I've got a lovely lady up North.
328
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,975
She's contacted me to say that
she's got quite a lot of jewellery
329
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,575
that she'd like me to come up and
take a look at.
330
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,015
She said she's been collecting
for years and years and years.
331
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,815
Sounds like a worthwhile trip,
anyway. Oh, 100%.
332
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:44,495
I cannot wait to go.
333
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,095
I'm sure there's going to be
something really exciting in there.
334
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,375
I've got, like, a hoarding gene.
335
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,095
I'm not a minimalist person.
336
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,255
I believe more is more.
337
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:58,615
I mean, it is, right. Isn't it?
338
00:15:58,640 --> 00:15:59,895
More is more, is more.
339
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,775
I've loved jewellery for as long
as I can remember.
340
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,455
It's just who I'm, who I am. I think
it's in my DNA.
341
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,335
Probably my happiest childhood
memories were spent with my grandma.
342
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,655
What we used to do together is we
used to
343
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,015
look through all her jewellery
344
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,655
and I think because that is my
happiest memory,
345
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,455
it's kind of linked in.
346
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,455
And then when my grandma passed
away,
347
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,695
I didn't actually do jewellery for a
little while.
348
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,735
For a couple of years I didn't buy
anything.
349
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,655
It was too raw for me because I
associate it so closely with her.
350
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,975
And then I guess when I'd, kind
of, finished grieving,
351
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,255
I just jumped in with both feet.
352
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,615
That's when there was a sea change
353
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:45,295
and I really, really started buying
jewellery.
354
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,255
43-year-old Emma loves collecting
so much,
355
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,615
she's made her obsession into a
full-time profession.
356
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,375
Quit my job as a lawyer
357
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,775
and went full time for my own
jewellery business.
358
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,815
The first two years' cash flow
is hugely difficult
359
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,295
and to bring a product to the market,
which I'm learning for the first time,
360
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,695
it's actually a really expensive
process.
361
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,575
So £5,000, that would help me get my
line launched.
362
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,055
I have put everything that my
grandparents left to me
363
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,415
into my business.
364
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:18,775
I've gotta make it work.
365
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,055
So this money to me is critical.
366
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,535
Oh, hi! Hello. Come on in.
367
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,295
Hiya. I'm Rachel. Nice to meet you.
Hi. Lovely to meet you.
368
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,175
I keep most of the things in the top
room on my granny's dresser. OK.
369
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,975
You clearly have a rather large
collection. I do.
370
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,455
When I saw her jewellery collection,
I was quite jealous, quite frankly.
371
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,095
There was just so much volume there.
372
00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:50,895
This one, I'll do a little bit more
research,
373
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,615
but just from looking at it it's a, it's
an amethyst in there, it's 18 carat gold.
374
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,615
It could be around the £1,000 mark,
I'd say. Oh!
375
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,695
Fantastic. It's lovely.
376
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,535
How did you come across it? Oh, a
boyfriend gave it to me.
377
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,175
He was probably the best jewellery
giver that I've had.
378
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,055
Maybe I shouldn't have got rid of
him.
379
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,855
THEY LAUGH
380
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,215
I think I'd probably rather sell
less high-value items,
381
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,855
than lots of little ones. Ok. Yeah.
382
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,855
Does that make sense? No, that's...
Yeah.
383
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,615
Yeah.
384
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,655
I'm not sure, other than the
Tiffany,
385
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,295
if there's going to be any kind of
great singular value...
386
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,135
Yeah. ..in, in, in any of these
pieces. OK.
387
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,175
This one potentially,
388
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,135
cos you've got the big cabochon
garnet there. Fantastic condition.
389
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:37,375
I love that one.
390
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,775
You see, I wouldn't sell that one.
391
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,255
It's my favourite.
392
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:41,815
Sorry. This was...yeah.
393
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,695
At least I'm clear. Yeah.
394
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,575
I wanna find that one, sort of,
that pow piece
395
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,935
that you're going to instantly go,
"OK, that's it, we're there.
396
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,255
"We've got her," you know, "We've
got her the money."
397
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,575
That's all we need to do.
398
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,295
Whilst Rachel continues her search,
399
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:00,615
100 miles away,
400
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,015
Ronnie and Paula are on the lookout
for one more big value item.
401
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,855
Oh, look at this.
402
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:11,935
Very familiar.
403
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,815
Wow.
404
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,295
When I saw the bowl,
405
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,015
I knew what it was.
406
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,975
I go to myself,
407
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,375
"Bingo!"
408
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:23,815
Carole?
409
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,055
Yes? Yes? Oh, there you are.
410
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,495
Um, I found something that I want to
talk to you about.
411
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,255
Really? Yeah, it's in the kitchen.
412
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,495
It's, it's your fruit bowl.
413
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,775
This is by William De Morgan.
414
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,775
He was a potter and designer.
415
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:47,175
He's the darling of the arts and
crafts potters,
416
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,535
you know, best friend of William
Morris.
417
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,375
He got two brothers that helped him
design.
418
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,615
It was Fred and Charles Passenger
419
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,935
and this one is Fred Passenger...
420
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,655
Oh. ..and that is a really nice
bowl.
421
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,895
And this bowl was probably made in
about 1900.
422
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,535
It's just my mother's. Yeah.
423
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,255
It was your mother's? Mm.
424
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,295
There's a big bowl as well. Oh,
really?
425
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,095
It's like a, it's like a dish.
Bigger than this? Mm.
426
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:16,815
Oh, I can't wait to see that. You've
got it here in the house?
427
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,255
Yes. Well, I inherited it so, yeah.
428
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,535
Oh. It's in the music room.
429
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,415
Oh, my gosh.
430
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,655
This is a brilliant, brilliant
example. So, that's the...
431
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,255
That's CP.
432
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,535
So, that's FP. Oh, that was FP.
433
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,135
This is Charles Passenger. Oh.
434
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,495
I thought that bowl was fantastic,
which it is,
435
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,535
but this is on another level above
that.
436
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,055
It's a glorious thing.
437
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,815
You've grown up with it, but I've
just discovered it
438
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,895
and to me, this is very, very
exciting.
439
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,055
I can get you a fantastic price for
this
440
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,575
and it's many thousands, believe me.
441
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,935
I know that bowl is worth between 10
and 20,000
442
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,855
and that can make a huge difference.
443
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,375
This could solve all your financial
problems,
444
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,735
these two bowls, if you were
prepared to let them go.
445
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,335
So, we found the shoes.
446
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:13,975
We found the bronze.
447
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,895
We found the transcript or.
448
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,895
We found these wonderful bits of
De Morgan.
449
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,695
So, do you think we can take
them today?
450
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,695
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. OK.
451
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,175
So, I was taking on the transcript or
and the pottery
452
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,615
and Paula - the shoes and the
bronze.
453
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,575
Ronnie doesn't waste any time.
454
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,935
He wants to show the vintage record
player to auctioneer, Martin Hughes...
455
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,175
Isn't that great? I've never seen
anything like it.
456
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,975
...who specialises in music
memorabilia.
457
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,895
Purchased new? Purchased by my
client in the '70s. Yeah.
458
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,215
I think there's worldwide appeal for
this.
459
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,535
Well, I hope so.
460
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,935
Now, I've got to sell it for someone
and I feel responsible
461
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,455
and very conscientious about getting
the best price.
462
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,055
So that's what we've got to talk
about.
463
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,175
Reserve.
464
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,095
Let's talk about it.
465
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:08,775
So, is there a figure in mind that
you'd like to get for this item?
466
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,735
I'd like to get at least £2,000 for
it.
467
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,655
You know, just being straight...
Mm-hmm.
468
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:18,015
...and I originally thought a reserve
of about 1,500.
469
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,495
I think it's a bit high.
470
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,015
I would half it.
471
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,015
I think 750 is where I would have
the reserve,
472
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,935
but obviously I would like you to be
happy with the 750.
473
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,135
No, I'm not. I'm not happy with the
750.
474
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,495
It's a bit too scary for me. That's
half of what I expect.
475
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,815
750 reserve in our auctions is never
disclosed.
476
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,575
The reserve is never disclosed to
anybody.
477
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,975
That makes me feel a bit more
comfortable.
478
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,415
It's a fallback point if I have to go
there to try and get the bidding going.
479
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,775
But I'm really hoping that we don't
even have to go near that.
480
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,695
I think I'm comfortable, more
comfortable now
481
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,495
you've explained it that way to me.
482
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,815
Yeah, I'm confident that it will
make the money I hope it would.
483
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,175
OK. The pressure's on, but I reckon
I can do it. Yeah.
484
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,175
We're gonna put the money into the
photography.
485
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,575
They're going to show this and make
it look
486
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,335
like someone's going to imagine it
on their own shelf. Yeah.
487
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:07,415
And I'll do my bit.
488
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,535
And I've got a couple of people
that might be interested in it.
489
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:11,535
Good.
490
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:16,415
I'm a little anxious. I want it to
make all the money,
491
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,135
of course I do.
492
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,695
We'll see.
493
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,335
Now we've got to sell it.
494
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,295
In Yorkshire...
495
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,295
Oh, wow.
496
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,895
...Rachel is still searching for a
hidden gem
497
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,215
that can unlock the £5,000 Emma needs
for her jewellery business.
498
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,775
Yeah. This is amazing.
499
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,535
I feel really embarrassed.
500
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,775
No, please don't be. This is my
dream come true.
501
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,815
There was a lot of things that
caught my eye,
502
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,215
so it really was trying to put the
blinkers on
503
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,655
and just looking for something, you
know, that I saw the most value in.
504
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,535
Oh, this has got a lovely
inscription.
505
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,375
Has it? Wow. I didn't know that.
506
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,415
A memory of
507
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:09,055
A, possibly B, W, }?
508
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,815
December 16th, 1896.
509
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,375
Whoa! 230 years old. 1896 to
January,
510
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,375
January 14th, 1897.
511
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,335
Oh, this sounds really horrible,
but that's only a year on there.
512
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:25,215
So, maybe it was a baby.
513
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,575
Oh, my goodness. Which is... Oh, I
hadn't realised that. No.
514
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:29,855
I've got something else.
515
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,415
Oh, Alice.
516
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,015
Oh, don't. You're gonna make me cry?
517
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,335
That's my sister's name.
518
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:38,255
That's, um... Oh, now I feel
horrible now. Yeah.
519
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,855
Well, you're giving it a good home.
520
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,855
So, I've got one more thing.
521
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,295
I bought it on an online auction
site. Mm.
522
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,735
I bought this as paste. OK.
523
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,175
Oh! What do you think? Do you like
it?
524
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,815
I think it's modern.
525
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,295
It looks modern, doesn't it?
526
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,255
I don't think it could be an emerald
cos of what I paid for it.
527
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,735
I only paid £3,000.
528
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,815
Oh, it's an emerald.
529
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,255
Oh?
530
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,735
Because it has these lovely
inclusions,
531
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,055
that's characteristic of emerald.
532
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,575
Is this something you'd consider
selling?
533
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,535
Yeah, I think so, because I collect
antiques
534
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,455
and it's not an antique piece.
535
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,415
Maybe there's a chance that I might
make a profit.
536
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,055
Yeah, potentially.
537
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,935
When I saw the emerald it was very
exciting,
538
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,535
because it was quite substantial
in size
539
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,455
and it was just in a gorgeous
setting.
540
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,135
Absolute stunner.
541
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,015
What do you think it might be worth?
542
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,935
Uh, there was a earring and a
necklace set, uh,
543
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,495
auction house's sale that went, I mean,
hundreds of thousands of pounds... Oh, wow!
544
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,255
...above the estimates. Ah, because it's
all bout what somebody is willing to pay.
545
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,255
Exactly.
546
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,375
To prove the ring is a rare emerald
547
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,055
and not made from less valuable paste
or glass,
548
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,455
as Emma was told when she bought it,
549
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,095
Rachel will need to get it
authenticated by a gemmologist.
550
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,215
The thing with an emerald of that
size,
551
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,095
in order for us to be able to get
the best buyer,
552
00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:11,095
you're going to want a certificate
with it.
553
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:12,375
Gonna take it to a lab.
554
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,935
Fingers crossed, if it comes back
as Colombian,
555
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,935
they're very, very sought after.
556
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,775
Should we be excited?
557
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,295
I think we should be.
558
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,695
To help towards the £20,000 Carole
and Roger need for the house repairs,
559
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,495
Paula is keen to find out if the
Salvatore Ferragamo shoes
560
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,175
are desirable in the vintage fashion
market.
561
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,975
This is fantastic. It's like a fake
snakeskin effect.
562
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,135
She's meeting vintage shop owner,
Fiona Stuart.
563
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,895
So, Carole has gathered up this
collection.
564
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,255
She's been collecting since her
youth
565
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,055
and she's actually a designer
herself.
566
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,935
Carole needs to, sort of, find some
funds.
567
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,975
So, what about the condition
of the shoes?
568
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,895
They're not to be worn. They'd fall
apart.
569
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,815
That's the thing about shoes this
age,
570
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:04,295
the glue's just, they're just meant, not
meant to last that long, are they? Absolutely.
571
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,095
So, in terms of your shop, would you have, sort
of, like a customer here who'd want to buy this?
572
00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:09,975
No, this is not the right place for
them.
573
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,575
If you, sort of, put them up on a shelf,
you know, they just look like old shoes.
574
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,895
No-one would really understand
the provenance of them.
575
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,215
They need a specific audience.
576
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,575
They do need to be looked at, not
worn
577
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,095
and I do think they need to be in a
museum, an exhib...
578
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:26,455
I want to go to an exhibition and see
these shoes. And see these on display. Yes.
579
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,735
And if you, if you start restoring,
repairing them,
580
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,415
they're actually going to lose their
value a little bit at this level
581
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,495
of this kind of age of item and
history.
582
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,815
So, they lose their authenticity
if you restore them
583
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,455
because you make them too new.
584
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,775
Too perfect. Too perfect. Yes. Yeah.
585
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,375
So, the right thing to do really
would be to keep them as they are
586
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,055
and then hope that a museum would be interested
in buying them as a job lot. That's right.
587
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,455
At this stage, going to museum is
just not the right avenue.
588
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,135
It's, it's a bit of a dead end.
589
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,775
We don't know how long it will take.
It's a long process.
590
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,375
It's an arduous process.
591
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,095
Roger and Carole need money now.
592
00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:03,255
I think when it comes to the shoes,
we've come to the end of the road.
593
00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:07,975
With the shoes off the list,
594
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,815
Ronnie is having better luck with Carole
and Roger's transcriber record player.
595
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,295
1500 straight in going to China
at the moment.
596
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,655
It's already exceeded the reserve
of £750.
597
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,935
Straight in. We're there already.
598
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,215
At £1,500 my gavel is raised.
599
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,895
Sold at 1,500.
600
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,535
Thank you. We got there.
601
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,775
It did make the top part of the
estimate.
602
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,775
So, I'm well pleased.
603
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,055
Finally, with some cash raised towards
Carole and Roger's house repairs...
604
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,855
Can you run us up to the West
End, please? Yeah, no worries.
605
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,375
...Ronnie turns his attention to the
pottery.
606
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,335
He's meeting with auctioneer,
Caroline Lay,
607
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,615
to get a second opinion on the
piece's market value
608
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,335
and find out if she has any possible
buyers.
609
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,295
If I go to Carole saying, "Oh, I've
got this offer,”
610
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,975
she's gonna say, "Well, could you
have got another offer?
611
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,855
"Have you talked to anybody else?"
612
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,375
And I'll be able to say, "Yes,"
613
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,535
"and what we're now bringing
to you is the best there is."
614
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,415
And I can do that with someone else
helping me.
615
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,015
Someone like Caroline
616
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,975
and she's brilliant at this.
617
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,735
She really knows her onions.
618
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,575
Ronnie, hello. How are you doing?
619
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:32,975
So good to see you.
620
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,815
You too.
621
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,575
So exciting.
622
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,055
I think they're the best bits of De
Morgan
623
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,575
I've ever had the pleasure of
handling.
624
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,375
They're so beautiful, aren't they?
625
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,375
They really are. Look at the size.
626
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,415
Oh, my gosh. Look at it in
comparison to that coin. Yeah.
627
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,695
There you go. Huge.
628
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,615
And this one's signed CP.
629
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,615
So, that's Charles Passenger.
630
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,695
This one here is Fred.
631
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,575
So, what are we, what are you
thinking money wise?
632
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,535
For auction 1'd,
633
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,455
given a free hand, I'd probably
suggest
634
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,655
something in the region of 8 to
12,000 for this piece...
635
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,575
Yes, we're talking the same
language. Yeah? Yeah.
636
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,175
...and maybe 5 to 10,000 for the
footed bowl.
637
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,415
I think that's over 20,000. Yeah.
638
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,415
I think it's a great time to sell
this sort of thing.
639
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,815
I've definitely seen a revival of
interest in arts and crafts,
640
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,495
in really choice pieces, which is
exactly what we have here.
641
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,975
So, I think, you know, the market
is strong.
642
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,735
I think what will help to reassure
Carole
643
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,095
that we're gonna get the best price
for her
644
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,455
is if I contact a few people that I
know,
645
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,335
that may be interested in the two
pieces,
646
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,655
and see what figures they can put
forward.
647
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:44,855
Yeah, that's great.
648
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,135
With a record player the only item
sold so far...
649
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,135
Just through here.
650
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,615
...Paula hopes to raise more home
repair funds for Carole and Roger
651
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,615
with her final item, the Rene Andre
Varnier bronze.
652
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,335
She's invited experienced Art Deco
dealer, Jeroen Markies,
653
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,415
to make an offer.
654
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,855
It's French, about 1920,
655
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,135
and it's signed here.
656
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,095
Good, strong movement.
657
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,855
Loads of anguish. Yeah. Mm.
658
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,055
Mm. I like it.
659
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,615
Uh, there is a market, definitely.
Um...
660
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,375
This is a very, sort of, energetic
bronze.
661
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:29,975
Unfortunately, male bronzes, male
heads, aren't that popular in terms of,
662
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,135
of saleability. Now, why, why is
that?
663
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,415
I wish I knew.
664
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,135
I think it's something to do with
the, sort of,
665
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,855
connotations of 1920s and 1930s
Germany. Right.
666
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,175
Values, however, are not that
high...
667
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,695
Right. OK. ..as a...
668
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:45,775
...and they should be higher.
669
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,975
And this is a genuine '20s piece. I
love the patination,
670
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,895
it's been stroked many, many times.
671
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,975
Not a lot's known about this artist.
672
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,095
He did dogs that fetch a bit more,
funnily enough -
673
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,455
£3,000 or £4,000 for the dog
sculptures.
674
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,175
But a head like this, um, a bit
less.
675
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,935
What does a bit less mean? Um...
676
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,575
I hope I'm not going to offend, but
677
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,135
around the £800 mark.
678
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,655
Could we go a little bit higher?
679
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,615
I mean, we're looking to get around
1200. I'll be honest.
680
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,935
This is, this is what we're... Yeah,
so that's more
681
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,775
getting close to the retail, um...
682
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,535
I would go to
683
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:26,575
£1,000.
684
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:31,335
I mean, are you interested enough to say you would
purchase this for 1,0007 I would make an offer, yeah.
685
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,695
I would make an offer for £1,000.
OK, brilliant.
686
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,055
Well, ultimately, it's in Roger and
Carole's hands. OK.
687
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,335
So I'll definitely be back in touch
with you.
688
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,055
PHONE RINGING
689
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,335
OVER PHONE: Hello? Hello, Carole.
690
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,175
Yes? Hello, it's Paula. Oh, Paula.
691
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,895
I'm calling with some, with some
positive news.
692
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,735
We've got a very firm offer, but the
ball is in your court now
693
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:58,135
because the offer is £1,000 for the
bronze.
694
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,415
I'll have a little think about it,
695
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,015
but I think it'll probably be a no.
696
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,895
We've actually missed him on the
mantelpiece.
697
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,775
Oh. There's a bare space there.
698
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,295
I do, I do understand.
699
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,175
I do understand, Carole.
700
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,015
I mean, £1,000 is a fair offer in
this market,
701
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,415
but at the end of the day, it has to
work for you and Roger, doesn't it?
702
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,295
It does. I mean, it's something to
think of in the future anyway.
703
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:21,535
Absolutely.
704
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,495
Take care. OK. Bye-bye.
705
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,975
OK. Bye-bye. Bye.
706
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,135
I'm not surprised.
707
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,335
I know that they've been missing that
beautiful bronze on their mantelpiece.
708
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,695
It means more to them than just
money
709
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,695
and so it had to take the right
offer.
710
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,215
And that right offer for them
711
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,615
was probably higher than market
price at the moment.
712
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,535
So, you win some, you lose some.
713
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,015
Pawnbroker, Rachel, has arranged to
meet her colleagues
714
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,615
to discuss the lab results that have
come back for the ring
715
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,535
Emma bought as glass.
716
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,015
Rachel believes the stone could be a
much more valuable emerald.
717
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,215
Guess what I've got?
718
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,735
What...Oh, it's back.
719
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,055
Is it an emerald?
720
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,695
Definitely an emerald.
721
00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:11,455
So, it is 13 carats.
722
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:12,575
Oh? Oh, that's good.
723
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,095
Oh, better than we thought. Better
than we thought, yeah.
724
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,495
Hopefully it's from South America,
725
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,815
which is where the best ones come
from.
726
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,855
Brazil, so nice. Nice. Very nice.
727
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,455
Have a look for yourself. Thank you.
728
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,215
From Brazil. It's still definitely
desirable.
729
00:34:27,240 --> 00:34:29,775
Has been oiled. Well, all emeralds
are old.
730
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,695
Emeralds are old. We know that.
731
00:34:31,720 --> 00:34:36,335
But what it does is they put them,
the oil chemicals, inside.
732
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,295
It plugs up in inclusions and all gaps and
that sort of thing and does enhance the colour,
733
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,735
hence, you know, the term
enhancement,
734
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,295
cos it is improving the stone, but
it is a manmade addition,
735
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,735
rather than natural, as it's come
out of the ground.
736
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,295
But it does improve the price, of
course.
737
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,695
There's always gonna be a market
for stone like this.
738
00:34:52,720 --> 00:34:54,535
It's, it's a lovely size, got a
lovely colour
739
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:59,255
and with that enhancement, it does
really make it look fantastic.
740
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,095
What a result. How exciting.
741
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,735
I still think it's gonna be good
money.
742
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,735
Hopefully we can make your
customer's day. Yeah.
743
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,535
Oh, I'm, I think that will.
744
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,815
I'm over the moon with that, quite
frankly. That's great.
745
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,615
After rinsing their contacts books,
746
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,655
Ronnie and Caroline have found a
serious buyer
747
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,655
who's prepared to make an exciting
offer
748
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:20,895
for Carole's pottery.
749
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,775
I'm quite excited about today
because today is a big day
750
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:31,535
because I've invited the very best
that they could ever hope to meet
751
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,215
concerning those two bowls.
752
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,735
Martin Levy... Ronnie. ..is a
high-end antiques dealer,
753
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,255
who works with collectors around the
world.
754
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,615
I'm looking forward to you meeting
Roger and Carole.
755
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,735
They actually went to the same art
school as I did. Oh, did they? Yeah.
756
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:52,615
As a rule of thumb,
757
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,455
I never buy De Morgan without going
to see it
758
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,495
because photographs can be very
deceptive. Yeah.
759
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,135
But the proof of the pudding is
going to be when we actually
760
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:06,495
stand in front of the bowl and the
charger and... Hold them. ..hold them. Yes.
761
00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:10,695
Hello? Hello.
762
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:13,495
Hi. Hello. Hello, Ronnie.
763
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:14,855
This is my friend Martin.
764
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,175
Good to meet you.
765
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,535
Hello, Roger. Roger.
766
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:21,575
Oh, my goodness.
767
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,535
That is absolutely beautiful.
768
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,295
When I saw photographs, I just
thought it was a punch bowl,
769
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,095
I didn't realise it was a footed
bowl
770
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,855
and so the form of this is actually
much more interesting.
771
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,015
The lustre's beautifully applied
here and the colours are very even.
772
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,455
But, you know, when you really
handle a piece of this perfection,
773
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,815
it sort of makes the hairs on the back of your
neck stand up. Oh, you're making me tearful now.
774
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,495
I sort of love it so much.
775
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:52,535
You're meant to love it, but it's... Well,
it would be, it's an inheritance, isn't it?
776
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,895
Well, I can find you another one to
look at.
777
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,575
As if this wasn't enough. I'd love
to.
778
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,655
This is extraordinarily beautiful
and actually, I think quite unusual,
779
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:03,975
the form of it.
780
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,575
But this edge is so, so beautifully
done.
781
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:08,575
I think so.
782
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:11,495
Oh, my goodness.
783
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,735
This is so beautiful.
784
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:23,255
I'm absolutely blown away by the
gorgeousness of it.
785
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,575
It's larger than they normally are.
786
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,575
It's deeper. It's really a bowl, not
a, not a wall charger or a plate.
787
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,095
It's beautifully painted
788
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,415
and there, it's movement.
789
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:38,335
There really is movement. As well,
you know, I think it's fantastic.
790
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,255
You can feel them dashing past,
can't you?
791
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,535
Exactly. You actually, you can. You
can feel them running.
792
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,615
I'd expected to see something
lovely,
793
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:50,015
but this is, this exceeds anything
that I might have hoped to see.
794
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:56,775
I think, completely gorgeous pieces
and I'm thrilled.
795
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,015
It's made my day.
796
00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,415
Well, thank you, Martin.
797
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:07,055
What do you think? I think these are exceptional
examples of William De Morgan's work.
798
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,535
I would love to own them.
799
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,815
The market for William De Morgan
800
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,735
has been on an up recently.
801
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:18,295
So, I think that Carole should not
part with both these pieces
802
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,655
for less than £20,000. Mm.
803
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,695
And if that were sort of agreeable
to her... For the two?
804
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:25,135
For the two pieces.
805
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,855
The one thing I need to do, Ronnie, is just
to make sure that the condition is good, so...
806
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:29,855
Let's ring.
807
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,415
That's what you want to hear. Mm.
808
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,135
That's very nice.
809
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:35,895
And let's just try this one.
810
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,735
That sounds a bit dead.
811
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,335
This has got a crack. Mm.
812
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,215
And in the world of ceramics,
that...
813
00:38:49,240 --> 00:38:51,055
here it is.
814
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,375
There's a crack all the way down
there.
815
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,415
I can feel it.
816
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,335
I had no idea that that bowl
817
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,935
would end up having a hairline crack
in it.
818
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,695
That was very disappointing.
819
00:39:03,720 --> 00:39:09,095
Now, this has a serious impact on
its desirability in the market.
820
00:39:15,240 --> 00:39:16,655
In Grantham,
821
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,695
Ronnie's buyer, Martin, has just
discovered a crack
822
00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:21,975
in one of the De Morgan pottery
bowls.
823
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,255
I really can't, in all conscience,
make an offer for this piece
824
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,135
because it is damaged.
825
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,775
But what I would like to do
826
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,695
is to make, what I think, is
probably a generous offer
827
00:39:32,720 --> 00:39:34,375
of £8,000 for the bowl.
828
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:35,415
I love it.
829
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,455
I'd be sad to leave empty handed
830
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,775
and I hope that that will be a fair
outcome
831
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,055
and one that will make them happy.
832
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,375
I'll go and have that conversation
with her.
833
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,655
Thank you.
834
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:52,575
So, the dealer has offered £1,000
for the bronze
835
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,055
and it's not enough. I understand
that.
836
00:39:55,080 --> 00:40:00,215
We sold the transcriber for £1,500 at
auction, that was quite a good price for that.
837
00:40:00,240 --> 00:40:02,775
I'm, I'm happy with that.
838
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,175
Now, we've got the De Morgan to talk
about.
839
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,655
There's good news and bad news where
that's concerned.
840
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:15,095
Unfortunately, there's a hairline
crack in the big bowl. Right.
841
00:40:16,240 --> 00:40:19,855
And prior to testing it for cracks,
842
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,735
Martin had offered £20,000. No?
843
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,695
That's a lot of money and really
could go a long way to help you.
844
00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:32,575
Because it's cracked, I'm afraid he
can't buy it,
845
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,375
but he can buy the other one
846
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,655
and he's made a generous offer on
the other one. Mm-hmm?
847
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:42,535
And so he's prepared to give £8,000
for the footed bowl,
848
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,415
which I think is a very good, very
generous offer.
849
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:50,375
That with the money from the, the
transcriber
850
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,415
brings nearly £10,000.
851
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,815
I actually think you're in a great
position,
852
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,215
because you weren't sure about
selling or keeping.
853
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:03,015
You now will keep the big one,
854
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,455
because it's very hard to sell
something with a hairline.
855
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,095
You've been offered 8,000 for the
other one,
856
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,495
which is a very good offer, believe
me.
857
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,375
Amazing, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
858
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,495
Well, it's something very, very
serious to think about.
859
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,615
Yeah, you can think about that and
let me know.
860
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,015
It is something that I could live
without.
861
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,775
It's not something that I look at
every day.
862
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,495
And you'll call me?
863
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,455
Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, of course.
864
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,855
I do believe I've started those cogs
turning.
865
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,215
They'll talk this over, they'll
think it over
866
00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:40,215
and they will sell that bowl for
£8,000.
867
00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:43,455
There's hundreds of thousands of
pounds worth of stuff here.
868
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,535
They've got my email. They can call
me whenever they want
869
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,855
and it would be a delight to talk to
them
870
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,175
and come up here and see them again.
871
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:52,935
So, once they've got the money,
872
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:57,575
they can give the attention to the
house that protects the things they love.
873
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,175
Hi. Hello. Lovely to see you again.
874
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,415
With a certificate secured for Emma's
emerald ring,
875
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,655
Rachel has found a potential buyer.
876
00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:16,495
Hi. Hi. How are you?
877
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:17,575
Hi. This is Emma.
878
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,295
Hi. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet
you too.
879
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:21,655
Have a seat.
880
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,495
Susannah Lovis owns a high-end
jewellery boutique
881
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,215
on London's exclusive Bond Street.
882
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,495
That's the bad boy? Yeah, this is
the big one.
883
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:35,375
I've got the results back from the
lab regarding it.
884
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,575
Emma has not seen these yet, so I'm
hoping... So cruel!
885
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,415
...you're gonna be excited.
886
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,335
Let me just have a look. Um, so...
887
00:42:43,720 --> 00:42:46,015
What I really want to know is, is it
Colombian?
888
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,695
It's Brazilian. It's Brazilian. Oh!
So, close.
889
00:42:49,720 --> 00:42:52,495
Close. Close, but no cigar. Yes.
890
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,855
So, um, let me have a look at it.
891
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:58,935
Wow. It's actually much nicer than
I thought it was gonna be.
892
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:03,375
It's the sheer size and the colour,
which is so amazing.
893
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:07,055
Can I ask where you got it from? I
bought it at an auction in Europe.
894
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:08,295
Oh, did you? Mm.
895
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,975
It was listed as a paste.
SHE GASPS
896
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,415
Was it? Mm.
897
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,375
Can I ask you what you paid for it?
898
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,055
Uh, yeah. After fees,
899
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,335
um, just short of £3,000.
900
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,295
Wow. It's everyone's dream, really.
901
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,695
Is it something that you'd be
looking to purchase from her?
902
00:43:25,720 --> 00:43:27,255
Pop in your window?
903
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,855
Well, I would love to have this in
the window, um,
904
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,335
because it's nice and big and, you
know,
905
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,655
it's the sort of thing we love to be
able to sell,
906
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,135
particularly with the certificate.
907
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:37,815
Well, how would you price it?
908
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,615
I put a figure of,
909
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,895
let me just calculate the price
per carat,
910
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,655
I could achieve 35,000 in my window
for this.
911
00:43:56,720 --> 00:43:58,415
OK.
912
00:43:58,440 --> 00:43:59,615
Wow.
913
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,335
More than you're expecting?
914
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:03,815
Yeah.
915
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,055
THEY LAUGH
916
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,375
It's not often I'm lost for words,
917
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,455
I have to say, it really isn't.
918
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,415
You bought very well.
919
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:15,815
You've done really well.
920
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,295
I mean, you know, it's not a great
surprise that I'm speechless
921
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,775
because it's just mind blowing.
922
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,535
So, would that be on a commission
sale?
923
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:27,615
Yes, it would.
924
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,095
So, because we're selling it, we do
the work, we've got the customers,
925
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,095
we've got the location, we would
charge you a commission.
926
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,655
So we put a figure of £35,000
on it
927
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:41,055
but we would take 25% of that as our
commission
928
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:45,975
for doing the sale, for cleaning,
repairing, sizing,
929
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,255
guaranteeing it after the sale.
930
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,135
Then you would receive,
931
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,615
I think it's about 26,000. 26,000
let me see...
932
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,295
Um...
933
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,175
Minus 45%.
934
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,495
£26,250.
935
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,815
All right. That's amazing.
936
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:07,335
Emma is walking away with five times
what she needed
937
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:08,975
for her new jewellery lines.
938
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,055
Wow.
939
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,015
It's what dreams are made of.
940
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,055
It secures my brand for the future,
941
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:17,695
that's what it does.
942
00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:19,215
Who wouldn't want that on their
finger?
943
00:45:19,240 --> 00:45:22,175
It goes quite well with your, uh...
Yes, it does. ..your green attire.
944
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,015
It's like you're dressed for it.
945
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:25,375
Fabulous.
946
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,855
Oh, it fits! Oh, wow.
947
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:28,855
Lordy, me.
948
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:35,615
I think Rachel did amazingly to
pinpoint what was a needle in a haystack
949
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,895
and know that it was something
special.
950
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:43,815
Yeah, I've just got to be incredibly grateful
to her for her expertise and knowledge.
951
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,975
And it's just so incredible.
952
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,215
I think that went amazingly.
953
00:45:50,240 --> 00:45:54,095
That is a result for Emma that I
could only dream of.
954
00:45:55,280 --> 00:46:00,135
It's nice to know that I've helped
her on her way
955
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,335
with getting her, her brand to the
next level
956
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:07,815
and I'll be excited to follow her
career and see where this takes her.
957
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,855
