00:01On Salvage Hunters,

00:03a rare piece of motoring memorabilia gets Drew revved up.

00:07DIA bags.

00:09Sorry.

00:10That's very nice.

00:13You don't like it.

00:14You don't like it.

00:15Yeah, it's lovely.

00:16Doing deals beats family ties.

00:19That might belong to my brother, that.

00:21I'm sure he had intentions to put it in his children's bedroom,

00:24but that hasn't happened, so it's fair game now.

00:27Brother, you love kicking in.

00:29Yeah.

00:30And when it comes to buying antiques,

00:32there's no room for sentimentality.

00:34That is lovely.

00:36I'm a bit pig sick, but it's very you, that.

00:39Win some loser, mate.

00:45Drew Pritchard is one of Britain's leading antique

00:47and decorative salvage dealers.

00:49Oh, my word, I love this stuff.

00:51Joined on the road by queen of the haggle and quick flip, Vicky Knott.

00:55How much are they?

00:56£100 in the pit.

00:57I was going to bed you £70.

00:58Well, thanks for your film, but you're not fine.

01:01And lover of all things weathered and wonderful, Alistair Dreibera.

01:04What about the triumph?

01:05Have you seen that, Drew?

01:06Ooh.

01:07Ooh.

01:08Come on, let's go and have a fight over it.

01:10Drew is sharing the knowledge.

01:12That's got a fair bit of Asia.

01:13It's horse hair in there.

01:14And that's a nice bit of old timber.

01:16And expertise.

01:17What a thing.

01:18You know why they're so deep?

01:19Why they're so long?

01:20Top hats.

01:21Top hats.

01:22Oh.

01:23He's gained over the past three decades.

01:25Would 400 quid buy both hats?

01:27No.

01:28Ooh.

01:29I've got to try.

01:30Where are we off to today?

01:31Ashburton.

01:32To see Lydia.

01:33In a nutshell.

01:34Antiques.

01:35In a nutshell.

01:36In a nutshell.

01:37In a nutshell.

01:38Ashburton.

01:39Very long tradition of antique shops.

01:41Lots of them.

01:42There's several there now.

01:43So we'll go and see Lydia, but if we get any time, we'll go and have a look at the others.

01:56Yeah, we've got them.

01:57But it's a good call, and you will find other dealers down in the area as well buying.

02:02For Drew, being a successful dealer means keeping his ear to the ground.

02:07And being ready to act on a tip-off that could help him source desirable antiques.

02:12Today, he and Alistair are heading 300 miles south, to Devon, where they've heard about a young dealer

02:19who's finding rich pickings in this picturesque and rural county.

02:23This is beautiful here, isn't it?

02:25It is nice.

02:26Even we haven't got roads this bad, though, have we?

02:28No.

02:29A lot of North Wales was like this when I was a kid.

02:31Very overgrown is probably a way to describe it.

02:33Yeah.

02:34Great when you were a kid, though.

02:35Brilliant.

02:36Because you could have dens everywhere.

02:37Yeah.

02:38Absolutely ancient, isn't it?

02:39Wonderful.

02:40Yes, it's here.

02:41The market town of Ashburton was once a major trading center for the tin mining industry.

02:51Over recent decades, it's been known for its many antique shops, making it a perfect spot

02:56spot for digging up desirable furniture rare curios and decorative items in the heart of town

03:02in a nutshell antiques is owned by a young dealer with a reputation for unearthing local treasure

03:11i've had the shop here now for about eight years it's a lovely little town and there's

03:15lots of antique shops here so it's a great destination for antiques we're very lucky

03:21in devon and there's some beautiful properties up on dartmoor and near the coast and we're lucky to

03:26buy directly from these people privately a lot of good stock comes in that way in addition to the

03:32shop um i run a workshop as well with my business partner barry everything is restored up there and

03:37we've got a big storeroom attached to it there's even more stock up there as well probably more

03:42than there is in the shop all sorts hidden up away in the storeroom here we are in a nutshell antiques

04:12local we got a lot of really lovely local sort of private calls around here that's good isn't it

04:17yeah that's a bit all fresh yeah it's got a slightly sort of grand tour look always with the

04:22columns that sort of look yeah i particularly like this yeah is it heavy it looks quite light

04:29is it it's heavy enough to feel the quality yeah just a good desk toy isn't it there's a really nice

04:36little twin column thermometer looks very late 18th century into early 19th century english but what it

04:44has for me is a huge regency presence in the room and it was just designed for your desk or you know

04:51a shelf somewhere in the house so you've got 120 on that how much can that be yeah um i can let that

04:57go for 90. it's a good looking thing it is yes thank you very much great that's great that's good

05:03isn't it just straight through the door love stuff like that really love it and it's just a little

05:07handsome thing hand engraved um mercury still in it unbroken no damage at all but nice wear a handsome

05:17thing and under 100 quid there is a good profit left in that for me and it'll still be cheap to be

05:23perfectly honest with you i'm always fascinated by how this is going to sound terrible now how young

05:30people get into an antiques business i'll take young that's fine a lot of people think i'm a lot

05:35older than i am because of what i do really i'm 29 now and i've done this really for 10 years since

05:43i left school i ended up at an auction one day not there to buy anything or sell anything but i was

05:49fascinated by it there were some great people there that i met who were very kind to me and sort of

05:53discovered this crazy world world yeah yeah it is an odd world to be in yeah wow

06:21scale of the leaf to the monkey you know the least the monkey's gonna be that big yeah they're just

06:25crazy love them hand carving scenes and figures from tropical hardwood is a centuries-old african

06:33tradition these examples are carved in relief so the images are raised from the flat background

11:16here you go come on in guys

11:24tell me about these the boats the half blocks yeah they came uh locally down from dartmouth

11:32right so we're not far from the coast here and they were in the boardroom of a company down there

11:38there's a lot of history on the boats on the plaques and also at the other end as well about

11:43the maker i think they were made around the sort of 50s yeah they're not old ones are they no not as

11:48old as you'd like them to be i really wish they were yeah i know yes that would have been well made

11:53though yeah yeah yeah owners jay gould george gould venezuelan venezuelan navy venezuelan navy

12:011902 to 1950 yeah and that's why i think they were probably made around the 50s because it's got

12:071950 on there yeah before then have you done anything to them absolutely nothing no they're

12:13exactly as i picked them up haven't been here long and they just haven't got down to the shop because

12:18they are so big yeah and they need putting properly up on the wall they're very heavy they're

12:23nice they're designed by a william cramp and son built in 1883 powered by two scotch boilers

12:33william cramp and sons was one of the most famous american shipbuilding firms

12:38making ocean liners and battleships for the united states navy in 1883 the company builds a 200-foot

12:45steam yacht for the controversial railway magnet jay gould one of the richest men in america it was later

12:51sold to the venezuelan navy continuing in service until 1950 crafted from mahogany these commemorative

12:59half holes have historical interest and collectability drew thinks they could be worth around 900 pounds

13:08the real real ones are um were made of actual boats and then they were put on the the wall so they

13:16were all individual boats with different names but they are incredibly collectible very valuable

13:22some of them because the boat names you can trace the history etc etc etc you like them yeah

13:29how much are they if they went down to the shop i i'd probably be asking around sort of 800 for the pair

13:36i could let them go for 700.

13:37yeah yeah great thank you they're very well made there's a pair of the same size and they

13:47were 700 quid now you know let's not be stupid there's money to be made there these you

17:21it's been a great start to the buying trip and drew and alistair are now heading 200 miles across the

17:27south of england towards west sussex they've received another tip-off about two new dealers who've

17:33turned their love for antiques and salvage into a second career so we're off to crawley today mate

17:40peace pottage peace pottage peace pottage crawley what what is peace pottage don't know peace pottage

17:46i've never heard of peace but it sounds like food yeah two guys clarence and jerry who um run libby

17:53libby li double b i they've got a little reclamation yard and they sell antiques and interiors

18:00i think they've been going for a couple of years now oh very new are they very new yeah

18:06the name peace pottage is believed to originate from the days of horse transport

18:11and the thick pea soup served to travelers on the london to brighton road

18:17today the village's proximity to the motorway makes this an ideal location for a new venture

18:22started by two locals who've turned their interest in collecting antiques and salvage into a business

18:30and i was a grade two listed builder and during that process we collected so much stuff you wouldn't

18:38believe it old beams bars everything and one day my son who worked for me joseph he said dad you've

18:44got so much gear you need to get rid of it i was a trained teacher and about two years ago i stepped

18:50away from teaching but i've always collected items over the years i had two garages full of stuff and it so

18:57happened that i stumbled across jerry and the relationship was born thereafter and i've spent

19:02what two and a half years trying to shake you off and just can't get i'm still here you're still here

19:07to me this business is a treasure hunt i get up in the morning and don't know what we're going to

19:11find but the best part of it is going out and finding the stuff you know we go under the radar find

19:16nice things and put them in here and that's it really that's nice it's a bit like that tin man isn't

19:24it well this it's a roof vent it's a dovecot it is now but it's a roof vent off old chapel

19:33mind a step hello good morning good morning how you doing hi i'm clarence true nice to meet you

19:40how are you doing clarence hi jerry i'm jerry nice warm hands were you jerry all right nice

19:45done thank you well thank you very much for having us this is lovely it is thank you guys good location

19:51but also libby yeah where's that come from my wife's name so her name was liby l-i-b-b-y i took

19:58a while put an eye there and we got libby and seems to have caught on people like the name

20:04that's nice friendly friendly yeah so we'll have a quick look around yeah of course obviously there's a

20:10lot of pluses for having a partnership because you've got an infusion of two different styles you know

20:17it's very vibrant yet there's a lot of furniture here but there's a lot of art this color and you

20:23can tell it's a mix of two people's tastes just coming together look at that al you've got two of

20:30them that's echo no no it's a single one it's a solid yeah why is the time right in front of me

20:36it's a really nice really nice pedestal i'm looking at god god that's good it's an alabaster and i'm

20:43thinking this is a good thing you know and you you must learn to in this business recognize quality

20:50wherever you find it it's one of a pair yeah pedestals or multiple pedestals sort of your full-on

20:56period deco designed to display a sculpture or bust this plinth angular form is typical of the art

21:05deco period of the 1920s and 30s building materials such as marble and alabaster were used at the time

21:12inspired by the architecture of ancient egypt and rome this stylish plinth appears to have french

21:19providence and is made with expensive materials drew thinks it could be worth around 500 pounds

21:25interesting thing what you're asking for this piece is 300

21:40drew and alistair are in west sussex where they've been tipped off about a promising new antique

21:45partnership is this lovely it is drew's got his hopes up over a high quality plinth

21:51but he needs to get it for the right price interesting thing what you're asking for it

21:56this piece is 300. where'd you get it from just someone turned up with it it's a strange one to be

22:02an alabaster yeah it's not solid alabaster as well these are sheets this is sheet alabaster probably

22:07around a bit concrete yeah um any room for negotiation yeah of course oh it's nice always got it's always a

22:15bit of room for negotiation would you take 250 for it yeah is that all right thank you very much

22:22thank you thank you chaps thank you first fab i buy a lot of these and i'll use it for putting a

22:26bronze on or putting it something on to sell it you know to to photograph it fabulous scale great

22:33color highly original and clearly of a very high quality is there a profit to be made if i sold it

22:38straight on definitely will it earn its keep by being putting things on it and selling it in that way

22:44yeah it'll do both of those yeah unusual thing really not my sort of thing but you cannot ignore

22:50quality i like the look of that over there jerry what's that i think it's like a a a the a a badge

22:59sorry that's very nice you don't like it you don't like it lovely there's an a a badge an a marker

23:08badge so these were post markers in probably the 1930s along the highway along the road and they had

23:16the cat's eyes in them so they lit up when the car lights hit them it's a scarce thing this is good

23:22because it retains its original paint it hasn't been over painted the surface is right formed in 1905

23:3010 years after the first motor cars were sold in the uk the automobile association was established in

23:36reaction to new laws imposed on motorists teams of aa cyclists were mobilized alerting members to

23:42speed restrictions and thousands of warning signs were erected highlighting roadside dangers dating

23:48from the 1920s or 30s cast iron signs such as this are prized by collectors and if sold in his shop or

23:55online alistair thinks it could be worth around 500 pounds they are a lot of money i'll be on i'll be

24:02honest with you what was the we're on 450 on yeah i mean yeah they are expensive i mean online they're

24:08the cheapest we've seen that 800 quid and it's uh obviously it's an original yeah they can range

24:17can't they from 200 yeah yeah yeah on condition there's the brackets are missing off the band yeah

24:22but i think it's yeah it's on the money pretty much in it and that's your best is it

24:27well make me an offer alistair um i can't get near that i was more like uh i think i'd be on at

24:36three at the most for that could we take three for it squeeze three two five we'd be slightly more

24:44happy with that what do you reckon it's not worth arguing over 25 quid yeah who do i shake

24:51clarence it's a good thing that's a nice thing i mean there's there's a bit left in it al paid up for

24:58it it's a very very interesting thing and it's right yeah yeah there's loads of copies it's right yes

25:04it's the real and it's got all the cut size yeah yeah these things appeal to all the motor enthusiasts

25:12you know it's a great topic the market for that is really really strong all the time people with old

25:20garages people with old cars people collect enamel signs and yeah it's very collectible

25:26you saw something on the way yeah look outside of course in your garden yeah yeah sure yeah

25:34that's what i was looking at you probably had a few of these weren't you i have it's a roof vent

25:39and come off chapels and schools and public buildings and then somebody's turned it into a

25:44dove cut yeah that was converted in the 1980s yeah by the engineer yeah it's a lovely piece they

25:50usually they've got a brass maker's mark on them yeah there you go in london yeah yeah yeah there you

25:57go that's it nice it's just something a little bit different aren't it yeah your sort of thing yeah

26:04that's interesting isn't it it's just nice it's been converted isn't it yes yeah yeah what have you got on

26:09that so 50 200 yeah we can work with 200 yeah yeah yeah that's fair a little bit of work yeah yeah

26:18it's all right happy days very folky you know not really done by a craftsman but that's what was

26:24appealing about it my friend is a blacksmith he'll give it the once over there's a little bit of rot

26:31i think on the sill but overall it's just got a good look um happy yeah done mate thank you very

26:40much guys can we go and do some money yeah it's been a pleasure sir thank you let's go and have

26:44a sort this out yeah it's been a right laugh with jerry and clarence i've got to be honest with you

27:57quite rare as well yeah yeah it's cool for drew and al the new contacts they've made through their

28:04trade tip-offs have paid off but the buying trip's not over they're making a long journey north to

28:10darlington in county durham drew's keen to be the first through the door at an antiques warehouse

28:17off the beaten track owned by someone he's discovered through his dealer contacts

28:23you know who we're going to see today the chair finder william carr william carr in darling yeah

28:29yeah near there he works from the family farm so you've met him before yeah i met him at a fair up

28:33north very good fair he's a grafter he's obsessed with the job and he loves chairs he's obsessed with

28:40cheers yeah and today is the first time we're going to go and see him at his warehouse

28:48until the early 19th century darlington was a rural town known for its historic market area

28:54and norman churches but when george stevenson's steam locomotive raced into town it was transformed

29:00into a place of bustling railway workshops a few miles away located on his family's farm one young

29:07dealer has been setting up his own workshop dedicated to first class seating

29:16i deal predominantly in 18th and 19th century chairs but i do however have a go at just about

29:22anything that tickles my pickle along the way i founded chair finder in 2021 but it's only been the

29:29last two years where i've gone full time at it and i'm living the dream really well my dream anyway

29:36since i was a little boy i was visiting lots of antique shops in the area with my father and it

29:41just all developed from there really the my passion for it i'm delighted to have drew and alistair come

29:47to there i really hope there's a few things that can have a go at and we can have a few deals yeah

29:54well hey drew all right mate nice to see you thank you you're well how are you doing

29:57how's that you all right mate yeah i'm very good thank you you've not met before have you no no it's

30:01time first time so through here will i'll bring you through to the unrestored selection first

30:08well most of it is oh good what a cracking workshop you're gonna do all for sale yeah barring that

30:13little pile there on the left hand side they are sold unfortunately oh that's a shame i met will at

30:19an antiques fair up north and i saw what he was doing i was really really impressed he's thrown

30:25everything into it packed in what he was doing that is a good looking chair he sold his car he sold this

30:31that and the other but everything into stock and he's given it his best and for that reason i will

30:36always you know give somebody my attention if they're going to go that far yeah

30:46just benefit from a bit of re-velveting wouldn't it yeah but it's nice very nicely made yeah

30:53not unusual to see them re-velveted either so that never looks too out of place does it really

30:59so what are you going to do without you going to strip all this horrible i was good this is

31:02the recovery yeah a bit of a project pile also but absolutely happy to sell that and leave that to

31:08you if you if you would like to thank you it's not a bad job no tucked away in the back there's a

31:15bobbin table the legs shaped like bobbins three legs late 19th century the top has got like a sort of

31:23sticky formica material over it so originally it would have had a velvet or a base on the top just like

31:30the tier underneath they'd have matched and it would have had stud work around the sides you can

31:36have that for 40 pounds alistair 40 pounds 40 pounds i'll just shake my hand god almighty 40

31:42pounds 40 pounds 40 pounds will no there's a bit to do then it leaves plenty for you doesn't it

31:50yeah wow you can get an extra nice velvet now yes you can put a little frill on it and everything can't

31:55you really go to town and really go to town on that get the right velvet the right stud

32:00work to ground the sides and basically just feed the wood and give it a mellow wax and it's ready to go

32:08these are nice yeah good form can be very reasonable if you're interested

32:18holland one of my favorite makers really good quality it would remind me of like mercedes or

32:25something like that because they're just really well built yeah just dead right proper stuff proper

32:29stuff holland and sons chairs is one of the things that will wants to show us they've just come in

32:34they're on the bench they're nice they're really really nice see a little bit of woodworm to the back

32:39rail and they need reupholstering and there's only two and all these things and i think no they're not for

32:44me but anything by holland really interests me because their name is bandied around by people who know

32:56founded in the early 19th century holland and sons were cabinet makers to queen victoria

33:02supplying items to osborne house and windsor castle as well as the houses of parliament

33:06this pair of gothic revival style chairs need reupholstering and are less valuable than a set

33:13of six or eight but with their prestigious makers stamp ellister thinks they could still be worth

33:18around 450 pounds quite nice on the calico just these it's not a big job to whip that off no

33:26and they'll look quite nice like that 180 if you're interested it's for nothing really

33:32what do you think i think they're a gift yeah yeah not you not right now i've just got lots and lots

33:40and lots of okay yeah you're not going to find a better quality chair the holland and sun chairs drew

33:47convinced me they were a good buy he knows his stuff he's been in the game long enough and it's good to

33:54buy something different this is the main showroom really oh that's nice will this is more lots and

34:01lots of nice things yeah i thought you might like that nice where did you get this will um just came

34:07off a an old school antiques dealer okay let's have a look-see okay so it's had a bit done

34:1890 good yes it's a two-tiered kashmiri uh occasional table so with these kashmiri tables right there's

34:26really good ones there's mediocre ones and there's the rest this one is getting towards the top end

34:33of it it's in that area so the form when you look at it it's perfect in every single way it's all bang

34:40on but it's the decoration the decoration is superb this table is typical of the style made in cashmere

34:50a region of territorial conflict between india and pakistan centuries ago traders from central

34:56asia and persia brought papier mache handcraft to the area a delicate process of building layers of

35:02moistened paper pulp which are then hand painted with intricate designs whereas smaller decorative

35:08objects are common larger items of furniture are rarer meaning drew thinks this table could be worth

35:14around 2 000 pounds what are you looking for as well see this blue wash underneath here this blue

35:22finish underneath here right this is really important that you can see this this is original you can see

35:26it's had the odd bit of restoration and re-gluing and this that and the other it doesn't really matter

35:31how much is that it's got to be 1400 okay

35:34in county durham drew and alistair are visiting a young dealer they've discovered through their

35:48trade contacts you can have that for 40 pounds alistair 40 40 40 pounds i'll just shake down god almighty

35:56drew's handling over a highly desirable handcrafted side table that has a price tag to match

36:01how much is that it's got to be 1400 okay color's just lovely isn't it you're making money yeah

36:10there's enough in it there for sure yeah thank you thank you very much these little cashmere side

36:15tables are highly prized because they're extremely beautiful these look good wherever you put them

36:21they hold their value like bilio and they just look great you've got great things thank you really

36:28great things really good they will what's that oh it's interesting what is it that might belong to

36:34my brother that oh is it but i'm sure he won't mind what is it you got it yeah you're good yep i know

36:44what that is it's the tailboard off of a cart yeah yeah that's right yeah i haven't looked at that for

36:52about 10 years cool that's a nice one i'm sure he had intentions to put it in his children's bedroom

36:58but that hasn't happened so it's fair game now brother you love kicking in yeah yeah is he bigger

37:05than you yes well you're on your own mate only a little bit though i'd still have a go there's a

37:11painted panel and it's folky it's naive it's very me and it's will's brothers and it's great it's

37:20definitely continental probably italian it's vibrant that's a great piece of wall art the best thing

37:28about you selling chairs is look all of a sudden look what you got on that oh what's your brother got

37:33on that well i think you'd be fine with 120 for that it's worth a go that isn't it it's a no-brainer

37:40isn't it no problem 120 pounds for the panel brilliant there's money left in that will's been

37:49more than fair with his pricing today he's looked after us but that's what we do in the trade we look

37:55after each other we make sure everybody's got a bit left in it we've seen everything yes yeah so it's

38:02either pack up now or tea and cake tea and cake i think tea and care all right sounds good thank you

38:11i've had a fantastic time today at will's place i really like him he's the real deal this job is

38:18not really a job it's a lifestyle and it's a great life and i really hope will

38:25carries on and i wish him all the success that he is definitely deserves great to see you again thank you

38:31very much for the business i really appreciate it thank you very much i'll see you soon cheers bye

38:37i've had a fantastic day today yeah it's been um everything i could have wished for they are about

38:43the first dealers really to ever come here so it's been really nice to have them walk around and see

38:49everything and take it all in and give me the feedback yeah you're right he was a nice lad isn't

38:57he brilliant very fair too he's got everything going for him he just needs to keep doing it as

39:03long as i'm doing business i hope i'm going to be able to do business with him

39:10after a busy week on the road alistair is back in west wales where he's getting his

39:15buys prepped for sale the first job is to investigate the bobbin table he bought in durham

39:21he needs to strip back the modern vinyl covering the top to check the condition of the wood underneath

39:30okay so that comes off quite easy now

39:38as you can see the grain is lifted it's split in places from seeing what i can see now we're

39:45going to recover this but there's no point putting a new piece of cloth on it it'll just stick out like

39:50a sore thumb i want it in keeping with that that's my work done let's take it to the restorer now and

39:57they can finish it off to help restore the table alistair has sent it to the nearby workshop of regular

40:04restorer ali wright an upholsterer with years of experience in dealing with antique furniture

40:11this fabric is some that we've previously salvaged so it does need a bit of a wipe it's a bit dusty

40:18but he wanted old so we're giving him old the fabric is going to be attached underneath underneath here

40:26with some um traditional upholstery tacks so we'll give a bit more there so we're sort of 75

40:33so we'll have like a square 75 by 75

40:36after cutting the velvet to size ali uses contact adhesive to both fabric and wood top

40:46to ensure a solid bond before smoothing out any air pockets to get the fabric to come round

40:54and to lie nicely i'm going to have to put some angled cuts in here

41:00but as you can see we've got some excess fabric in here so that's our mark there that's the top

41:06so basically we want to bring our cut just down there

41:19okay after applying more adhesive ali can check if the fabric is fitting neatly to the sides

41:26that's sitting beautifully on there now that's glued down nicely i'm going to put a few tacks in

41:33to make sure it stays in place

41:35i think five per panel is fine

41:46i'm going to just trim the excess off

41:47then so whilst the table is upside down i'm just going to take this bottom shelf off

41:57and then we'll follow exactly the same process for this bit as for the top of the table

42:02the only thing we've got to do now to finish the top is to put some upholstery nails around the edges

42:07these are going in beautifully

42:18okay the last one has just gone in and now we're just going to flip the table over

42:27beautiful i really hope alistair likes this

42:30once the shelf has been completed the table will be joining alistair's other finds in his shop

42:37proof of a great week of new buys and tip-offs
