DiversiónTranscripción
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.
02:01For Drew, being a successful dealer means keeping his ear to the ground.
02:06And 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, because you could have dens everywhere.
02:36Yeah.
02:37Absolutely ancient, isn't it?
02:38It's wonderful.
02:39On the southern edge of Dartmoor, the market town of Ashburton, was once a major trading
02:48center for the tin mining industry.
02:51Over recent decades, it's been known for its many antique shops, making it a perfect spot
02:56for digging up desirable furniture, rare curios and decorative items.
03:01In the heart of town, In A Nutshell Antiques is owned by a young dealer with a reputation
03:06for unearthing local treasure.
03:09I've had the shop here now for about eight years.
03:14It's a lovely little town and there's lots of antique shops here, so it's a great destination
03:19for antiques.
03:20We're very lucky in Devon.
03:22There's some beautiful properties up on Dartmoor and near the coast, and we're lucky
03:26to buy directly from these people privately.
03:29A lot of good stock comes in that way.
03:31In addition to the shop, I run a workshop as well with my business partner, Barry.
03:36Everything is restored up there and we've got a big storeroom attached to it.
03:39There's even more stock up there as well, probably more than there is in the shop.
03:43All sorts hidden up away in the storeroom.
03:46Here we are.
03:47In A Nutshell Antiques.
03:50Hello.
03:51Hello.
03:52Drew.
03:53Hiya, Lydia.
03:54Nice to meet you.
03:55Hi Lydia.
03:56I'm Alyssa.
03:57Hiya.
03:58How are you doing?
03:59Good, thank you.
04:00Lovely shop.
04:01Thank you very much.
04:02Nice.
04:03Very nice.
04:04Lots of nice things.
04:05Lots to see.
04:06Oh, that's nice.
04:07It's quite nice, isn't it?
04:09Not a lovely thing.
04:10Yeah.
04:11Where'd you get this from?
04:12I think that came in privately, local.
04:13We got a lot of really lovely local sort of private calls around here.
04:17That's good, isn't it?
04:18Yeah.
04:19The best bit.
04:20All fresh.
04:21Yeah, it's got a slightly sort of grand tour look always with the columns, that sort
04:24of look.
04:25Yeah.
04:26Particularly like this.
04:27Yeah.
04:28Is it heavy?
04:29It's heavy enough to feel the quality.
04:30Yeah.
04:31Yeah.
04:32Just a good desk toy, isn't it?
04:35It's a really nice little twin column thermometer.
04:38Looks very late 18th century into early 19th century English, but what it has for me is
04:45a huge Regency presence in the room.
04:48And it was just designed for your desk or, you know, a shelf somewhere in the house.
04:53So you've got 120 on that.
04:54How much can that be?
04:55Yeah.
04:56I can let that go for 90.
04:58It's a good looking thing.
05:00It is.
05:01Yes.
05:02Thank you very much.
05:03Great.
05:04Thanks.
05:05That's great.
05:06That's good, isn't it?
05:07I was just straight through the door.
05:08That's a good start.
05:09Love stuff like that.
05:10Really love it.
05:11It's just a little handsome thing.
05:12Hand engraved.
05:13Mercury still in it.
05:14Unbroken.
05:15No damage at all.
05:16But nice wear.
05:17A handsome thing.
05:18And under 100 quid.
05:20There is a good profit left in that for me.
05:22And it'll still be cheap, to be perfectly honest with you.
05:25I'm always fascinated by how this is going to sound terrible now.
05:30How young people get into an antiques business.
05:32I'll take young.
05:33That's fine.
05:34Yeah.
05:35A lot of people think I'm a lot older than I am because of what I do, really.
05:39Yeah, yeah.
05:40I'm 29 now.
05:41And I've done this really for 10 years since I left school.
05:44I ended up at an auction one day.
05:46Not there to buy anything or sell anything, but I was fascinated by it.
05:50There were some great people there that I met who were very kind to me
05:53and sort of discovered this crazy world.
05:56A crazy world.
05:57Yeah.
05:58Yeah.
05:59It is an odd world to be in, yeah.
06:00Wow.
06:01Aren't those just great?
06:04Where did you get these from?
06:06Just picked them up locally.
06:07And I was just drawn to the monkeys.
06:09I love the monkeys.
06:10Aren't they just...
06:11Very crude.
06:12Look at this one.
06:13It's like...
06:14Look at a leaf.
06:15Yeah.
06:16There's everything going for those.
06:17The way this has been carved.
06:19And there's the scale of them.
06:21The scale of the leaf to the monkey.
06:22You know, the leaf to the monkey is going to be that big.
06:24Yeah, yeah.
06:25They're just crazy.
06:26Love them.
06:28Hand carving scenes and figures from tropical hardwood is a centuries old African tradition.
06:34These examples are carved in relief, so the images are raised from the flat background.
06:39Probably dating from the mid-20th century, Drew thinks this playful pairing could be worth around 195 pounds.
06:47Every now and again I'll see something and I'll just fall in love with it and go, I can't believe I found that.
06:52They're great, aren't they?
06:53They're brilliant, aren't they?
06:55I'm a bit envious.
06:56You picked these up, actually.
06:57I like the back of them as well.
06:59Yeah, yeah.
07:00You can see that they've all been hand-done.
07:02Yeah, yeah.
07:03African hardwood carvings, 45 quid each.
07:05They are just great.
07:07Can I buy those, please?
07:08You can.
07:09Thank you very much.
07:10They're great.
07:12That is, you know everything I'm always going on about, you can buy great antiques for not a lot of money.
07:17That's it.
07:18Bosh.
07:19That make you smile as well.
07:20Yeah.
07:21Exactly.
07:22They're just brilliant.
07:24God, I love those.
07:26Thank you very much.
07:28Not letting go of those.
07:29Yeah, nice.
07:30Yeah.
07:31Sometimes an item will just emanate a feeling and a presence in the room and it can be for something that's a fiver.
07:41It really can.
07:42I'm drawn to them.
07:44There's dogs over there, Drew.
07:45Graham?
07:46Oh yeah, they're nice, aren't they?
07:47Yeah.
07:48They're lovely.
07:49They're really nice, aren't they?
07:50Yeah.
07:51Can I have a look at one?
07:52Yeah, yeah.
07:53But that's a nice size.
07:54They're in great condition as well.
07:55No damages, no repairs.
07:57What's on them with you?
08:00$3.50 on the pair.
08:02I'd buy those.
08:03They're great.
08:04I'll spot a pair of dogs.
08:05The dogs are always popular.
08:08A while ago I bought an oil painting of some greyhounds.
08:12I put it online and the response was brilliant.
08:15I didn't realise there were so many people out there who collect greyhounds and they're a good pair.
08:22They're just simple and very attractive.
08:26So you've got three...
08:27$3.50 on those.
08:28What could be the best on them?
08:29You can have those for $2.70.
08:33The End
08:42Drew and Alistair are in the South Devon town of Ashburn.
08:46Lydia, nice to meet you.
08:47Nice to meet you.
08:48Where they've had a tip off about a young dealer with a shop filled with locally sourced treasure.
08:52Lovely shop.
08:54Thank you very much.
08:55Lots of nice things.
08:57Alistair is putting his money on a desirable pair of greyhound statues and he's hoping to get a deal over the line.
09:04What could be the best on them?
09:06$2.70.
09:07Yeah.
09:08I'm happy at that.
09:09Yeah, definitely.
09:10Yeah, lovely.
09:11Thank you very much.
09:12That's great.
09:13They are really, really awesome.
09:14I really like them.
09:15Very cool.
09:16Bit jealous you spotted those first.
09:18Sorry.
09:19Back up there for now.
09:20They are very, very nice.
09:21They're very Drew.
09:22They're very now.
09:24He liked them.
09:25I'm sure on the way home he's going to try and buy those greyhounds but I think I can get good money for them.
09:31I've got good collectors for that type of thing.
09:34But we'll have a chat.
09:36Having searched the shop, Drew and Alistair are keen to see Lydia's workshop and storerooms, located a short drive away.
09:43Welcome.
09:44Come on in.
09:45Oh, hello.
09:46That's nice.
09:47This is where the magic happens.
09:49This is a little workshop.
09:51Fab.
09:52Alistair.
09:53That's a bit of you, isn't it?
09:55Very much so, mate.
09:56That's a little bit of a project, that one.
09:58Yeah.
09:59That's nice as well.
10:00Yeah.
10:01Chest is nice.
10:02It's lived a life, that one.
10:04Remains of green paint.
10:05Oh, is it elm or ash?
10:07God.
10:08Elm.
10:10It's so often with those cricket tables that they have had a little bit of a hard life.
10:14Oakleg.
10:15Oakleg.
10:16They call cricket tables.
10:18Three legs, three cricket sumps.
10:20I've not had many like this.
10:22It's smaller, triple stretcher on the bottom, and the top is beautiful.
10:27It's elm, the weir on it's good, a nice cricket table.
10:33But it's got its problems.
10:35How much is that?
10:36Exactly as it is there.
10:3780 pounds.
10:3880 pounds?
10:3980 pounds.
10:40The cheapest cricket table you'll ever buy.
10:42I've never bought it cheap.
10:43There you go.
10:44That is a bargain.
10:45I know it needs work.
10:46But there's a lot of work.
10:47It'll be a nice thing.
10:49That's all right.
10:50Lovely.
10:51Yeah.
10:52I'm a bit pig sick.
10:53But it's very you that.
10:54Win some loser mate.
10:55Try and help it out.
10:58Thank you very much.
10:59It's all right.
11:00One leg.
11:01Don't know if it needs replacing.
11:02It needs a lot of work.
11:03The top, there's a notch come out of it.
11:06It's got to be done right.
11:08It's covered in wax, but there's a remains of green paint.
11:11It needs to be stripped back, bleached.
11:13It is a good thing.
11:15And it's only going to get better.
11:21Here you go.
11:22Come on in, guys.
11:25Tell me about these.
11:26The boats, the half blocks.
11:28Yeah, they came locally down from Dartmouth.
11:32Right.
11:33So we're not far from the coast here,
11:34and they were in the boardroom of a company down there.
11:38There's a lot of history on the boats, on the plaques,
11:41and also at the other end as well about the maker.
11:43I think they were made around the sort of 50s.
11:45Yeah, they're not old ones, are they?
11:47No, not as old as you'd like them to be.
11:49I really wish they were.
11:50Yeah, I know.
11:51Yeah, so do we.
11:52That would have been well made though.
11:53Yeah.
11:54Yeah.
11:55Owners, Jay Gould, George Gould,
11:57Venezuelan, Venezuelan Navy.
12:00Venezuelan Navy.
12:01Venezuelan Navy, 1902 to 1950.
12:03Yeah.
12:04And that's why I think they were probably made around the 50s,
12:06because it's got 1950 on there.
12:08Yeah.
12:09So it wouldn't be before then.
12:10Have you done anything to them?
12:11Absolutely nothing, no.
12:12They're exactly as I picked them up.
12:14They haven't been here long,
12:15and they just haven't got down to the shop because they are so big.
12:18Yeah.
12:19And they need putting properly up on the wall.
12:21They're very heavy.
12:22They're nice.
12:23They were designed by a William Cramp and Son, built in 1883, powered by two Scotch boilers.
12:34William Cramp and Sons was one of the most famous American shipbuilding firms, making ocean liners and battleships for the United States Navy.
12:41In 1883, the company builds a 200-foot steam yacht for the controversial railway magnate Jay Gould, one of the richest men in America.
12:51It was later sold to the Venezuelan Navy, continuing in service until 1950.
12:56Crafted from mahogany, these commemorative half-holes have historical interest and collectability.
13:03Drew thinks they could be worth around £900.
13:08The real, real ones were made of actual boats, and then they were put on the wall, so they were all individual boats with different names.
13:18But they are incredibly collectible, very valuable, some of them, because of the boat names.
13:24You can trace the history, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
13:27You like them?
13:28Yeah.
13:29How much are they?
13:30If they went down to the shop, I'd probably be asking around, sort of, £800 for the pair.
13:36I could let them go for £700.
13:39Yeah.
13:40Yeah?
13:41Enough.
13:42Great. Thank you.
13:43They're very well made.
13:45There's a pair, they're the same size, and they were £700.
13:48Now, you know, let's not be stupid.
13:52There's money to be made there.
13:54These you?
13:56How many?
13:57How many?
13:58Four of those, and they have all got the galleries as well.
14:00Have they?
14:01Yeah.
14:02They're in here.
14:03They've only just come in, so I haven't had a chance to do anything with them.
14:08There's a gallery for those.
14:11Oh, nice.
14:12They all match?
14:13Yes, absolutely all the same.
14:14Where'd they come from?
14:15Chapel?
14:16I bought them at an antique fair recently, and the gentleman said he got them from Yorkshire, but wasn't specific.
14:23Jefferson Moonstone, made in Canada.
14:27These lamps were made in and around the latter part of the 19th century, mostly early 20th century.
14:34Jefferson Moonstone, so it's Jefferson the maker, Moonstone the sort of model and type of glass they've used.
14:40Just great quality.
14:41They give off a really lovely light.
14:44Nice things, and four of them, happy days.
14:47They're all in the same nick, yeah?
14:49Yes.
14:50Yeah, I'm sure they are.
14:51What would you like for those?
14:52For the four, I'd need to see 500.
14:54If they're all the same as that, and there's no cracks, and all the galleries match, yes.
14:58Great, lovely.
14:59We'll get them out and check them.
15:01They're an interesting thing.
15:02Yeah.
15:03They always chip round there.
15:05They'll crack here, right, and you can hardly notice it.
15:08Just got to be careful with those, but that's it.
15:10Yeah.
15:11As long as that's all right, you're good to go.
15:12Excellent.
15:13Moonstone pendants.
15:15Very good quality.
15:17Four of them in there, all the same size with matching galleries and a bit of chain and the ceiling hooks for 500 pounds.
15:23Well, you can't look a gift horse in the mouth.
15:26I just had to say yes.
15:27If Lydia's making a profit, fine.
15:30It's dealer to dealer.
15:31I have to just let it be and go, okay, fine.
15:34Right.
15:35I think we need to load up, sort out some cash.
15:38Great.
15:39I'll give these lamps the once over.
15:41Yeah.
15:42And that's it.
15:43Done.
15:44Go.
15:45Great.
15:46Lovely.
15:47Thank you very much.
15:48Let's get moving.
15:50Cheers.
15:51Lots to load up.
15:52Some nice things.
15:53Met Lydia.
15:54Yeah.
15:55It was great.
15:56The Jefferson Moonstone lights.
15:58Great.
15:59You know, I always want those.
16:01The little thermometer.
16:02I mean, that's a straightforward, easy seller.
16:04I can double my money on it and that's fine.
16:06But I absolutely love the monkey carvings.
16:10I thought they were wonderful, wonderful things.
16:13You just don't have to spend lots of money to buy great things, really good things.
16:18Very, very happy with today.
16:20And the prices have been good.
16:22The thing that's got me most excited today has got to be that cricket table.
16:25It's good.
16:26It's rare.

16:57Selling stuff to the trade.
16:58Yeah.
16:59Well done.
17:00Round of applause to Lydia.
17:01And it was all good stuff, wasn't it?
17:02Very, very good.
17:03And you're happy?
17:04Yeah.
17:05I liked the little one.
17:06Out of everything you bought, I liked the monkeys.
17:07They were brilliant.
17:08Aren't they just great?
17:09It's been a great start to the buying trip.
17:10And Drew and Alistair are now heading 200 miles across the south of England towards West
17:12Sussex.
17:13They've received another tip-off about two new dealers who've turned their love for antiques
17:15and salons into the world.
17:16It's been a great start to the buying trip.
17:17And Drew and Alistair are now heading 200 miles across the south of England towards West
17:19Sussex.
17:20They've received another tip-off about two new dealers who've turned their love for antiques and

17:23So we're off to Crawley today, mate.
17:24Pease Pottage.
17:25Pease Pottage.
17:26Pease Pottage hot.
17:27Pease Pottage hot.
17:28What is Pease Pottage?
17:29I don't know.
17:30Pease Pottage.
17:31I've never heard of Pease Pottage.
17:32It sounds like food.
17:33Yeah.
17:34Two guys, Clarence and Gerry, who have been a great start to the buying trip.
17:35It's been a great start to the buying trip.
17:36And Drew and Alistair are now heading 200 miles across the south of England towards West
17:37Sussex.
17:38They've received another tip-off about two new dealers who've turned their love for antiques and
17:39salvage into a second career.
17:40So we're off to Crawley today, mate.
17:41Pease Pottage.
17:42Pease Pottage hot.
17:43What is Pease Pottage?
17:44I don't know.
17:45Pease Pottage.
17:46I've never heard of Pease Pottage.
17:47It sounds like food.
17:48Yeah.
17:49Two guys, Clarence and Gerry, who run Libby.
17:53Libby.
17:54L-I-B-B-I.
17:55They'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.
18:03Oh, very new, are they?
18:04Very new, yeah.
18:05The name Pease Pottage is believed to originate from the days of horse transport
18:11and the thick pea soup served to travellers on the London to Brighton Road.
18:16Today, 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.
18:32I was a Grade II listed builder and during that process we collected so much stuff, you wouldn't believe it.
18:39L-beams, bars, everything.
18:41And one day my son who worked for me, Joseph, he said,
18:44Dad, you've got so much gear, you need to get rid of it.
18:47I was a trained teacher and about two years ago I stepped away from teaching.
18:52But I've always collected items over the years.
18:54I had two garages full of stuff.
18:56And it so happened that I stumbled across Gerry and the relationship was born thereafter.
19:01And I've spent, what, two and a half years trying to shake you off and just can't get rid of it.
19:05I'm still here.
19:06You're still here?
19:07To me, this business is a treasure hunt.
19:09I get up in the morning and don't know what we're going to find.
19:12But the best part of it is going out and finding the stuff.
19:14You know, we go under the radar, find nice things and put them in here and that's it really.
19:22That's nice.
19:23It's a bit like that Tin Man, isn't it?
19:25Like this?
19:26Yeah.
19:27It's a roof vent.
19:28It's a dovecot.
19:29It is now, but it's a roof vent off Old Chapel.
19:32Right.
19:33Mind a step?
19:34Sure.
19:35Hello.
19:36Good morning, sir.
19:37Morning.
19:38How are you doing?
19:39Hi, I'm Clarence.
19:40Drew.
19:41Nice to meet you.
19:42How are you doing, Clarence?
19:43Hi, Drew.
19:44I'm Gerry.
19:45Nice to meet you.
19:46Nice warm hands.
19:47Well, thank you very much for having us.
19:48This is lovely.
19:49It is.
19:50Thank you, guys.
19:51But, also, Libby.
19:53Yeah.
19:54Where's that come from?
19:55My wife's name.
19:56So, her name was Libby.
19:57L-I-B-B-Y.
19:58I took the Y.
19:59I put an I there.
20:00And we got Libby.
20:02And it seems to have caught on.
20:04People like the name, don't they?
20:05It's nice, friendly.
20:06Yeah.
20:07So, we'll have a quick look around.
20:08Yeah, of course.
20:10Obviously, there's a lot of pluses for having a partnership because you've got an infusion of two different styles.
20:17You know, it's very vibrant.
20:19Yet, there's a lot of furniture here.
20:21But there's a lot of art.
20:22There's colour.
20:23And you can tell it's a mix of two people's tastes just coming together.
20:28Look at that, Al.
20:29Mmm.
20:30You got two of them?
20:31That's echo.
20:32No.
20:33It's a single one.
20:34It's solid, eh?
20:35Yeah, why is it tan?
20:36Right in front of me is a really nice, really nice pedestal.
20:40I'm looking at it and go, God, that's good.
20:42It's an alabaster.
20:43And I'm thinking, this is a good thing.
20:45You know, you must learn to, in this business, recognise quality wherever you find it.
20:51It's one of a pair of pedestals or multiple pedestals.
20:54Yeah, that would stand against the wall.
20:55Sort of your full-on period deco.
21:00Designed to display a sculpture or bust, this plinth's angular form is typical of the art deco period of the 1920s and 30s.
21:08Building materials such as marble and alabaster were used at the time, inspired by the architecture of ancient Egypt and Rome.
21:16This stylish plinth appears to have French providence and is made with expensive materials.
21:22Drew thinks it could be worth around £500.
21:26Interesting thing. What are you asking for it?
21:28This piece is £300.
21:38Where'd you get it from?
21:39Just someone turned up, wasn't it?
21:40It's a strange one to be an alabaster.
21:41Yeah.
21:42It's a strange one to be an alabaster.
21:43Yeah.
21:44It's not solid alabaster as well.
21:45These are sheet alabaster, probably around a bit of concrete.
21:46Yeah.
21:47Yeah.
21:48Any room for negotiation?
21:49Yeah, of course.
21:50Oh, it's nice.
21:51but he needs to get it for the right price interesting thing what you're asking for it
21:55this piece is 300 where'd you get it from just someone turned up over here it's a strange one
22:01to be an alabaster yeah it's not solid alabaster as well these are sheets this is sheet alabaster
22:07probably around a bit of concrete yeah um any room for negotiation yeah of course oh it's nice
22:13it's always got it's always a bit of room for negotiation would you take 250 for it yeah
22:19is that all right thank you very much thank you thank you chaps thank you first fab i buy a lot
22:25of these and i'll use it for putting a bronze on or putting it something on to sell it you know to
22:30to photograph it fabulous scale great color highly original and clearly of a very high quality is there
22:37a profit to be made if i sold it straight on definitely will it earn its keep i've been
22:42putting things on it and selling it in that way yeah it'll do both of those yeah unusual thing
22:47really not my sort of thing but you cannot ignore quality i like the look of that over there jerry
22:53what's that i think it's like a aa the aa badge hmm sorry that's very nice
23:01you don't like it you don't like it it's lovely there's an aa badge an aa marker badge so these
23:09were post markers in probably the 1930s along the highway along the road and they had the cat's eyes
23:17in them so they lit up when the car lights hit them it's a scarce thing this is good because it
23:23retains its original paint it hasn't been over painted the surface is right formed in 1905 10 years
23:31after the first motor cars were sold in the uk the automobile association was established in reaction to new
23:37laws imposed on motorists teams of aa cyclists were mobilized alerting members to speed restrictions and
23:44thousands of warning signs were erected highlighting roadside dangers dating from the 1920s or 30s cast iron
23:51signs such as this are prized by collectors and if sold in his shop or online alistair thinks it could be
23:56worth around 500 pounds they are a lot of money i'll be on i'll be honest with you what was the we're on
24:03450 on yeah are you yeah they are expensive i mean online they're the cheapest we've seen that 800 quid
24:12and it's uh obviously it's an original yeah they can range can't they from 200 yeah yeah you know yeah
24:19depending on condition there's the brackets are missing off the back but i think it's yeah it's
24:24good to go it's on the money pretty much isn't it and that's your best is it well make me an offer
24:30alistair um i can't get near that i was more like uh i think i'd be on at three at the most for that
24:39could we take free for it squeeze three two five we'd be slightly more happy with that
24:45what do you reckon it's not worth arguing over 25 quid yeah who do i shake clarence it's a good
24:54thing that's a nice thing i mean there's there's a bit left in it al paid up for it like very very
24:59interesting thing and it's right yeah yeah because loads of copies it's right yes it's the real and it's
25:05got all the cut size yeah yeah these things appeal to all the motor enthusiasts you know it's a great
25:14topic the market for that is really really strong all the time people with old garages
25:20people with old cars people collect enamel signs and yeah it's very collectible you saw something
25:26on the way yeah look outside of course yeah yeah sure yeah i'll take it lead the way yep
25:34that's what i was looking at you've 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
25:43a dove cut yeah that was converted in the 1980s yeah it's by the engineer yeah it's a lovely piece
25:49they usually they've got a brass maker's mark yeah 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
26:03yeah that's interesting isn't it it's just nice it's been converted isn't it yes yeah yeah what have
26:08you got on that 250 200 yeah we can work with 200 yeah yeah yeah that's fair a little bit of work
26:17yeah yeah it's all right happy days very folky you know not really done by a craftsman but that's
26:24what was appealing about it my friend is a blacksmith he'll give it the once over there's a little bit of

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 car in darling yeah near
28:29there he works from the family farm so you've met him before yeah i met him at a fair up north very good
28:34fair 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
29:47alistair come today i really hope there's a few things that can have a go at and we can have a few
29:52deals yeah well hey drew all right mate nice to see you thank you you well how are you doing
29:57you all right mate yeah i'm very good thank you you've not met before have you no no it's time
30:01first 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 it's all for sale yeah barring that little pile there
30:14on the left hand side they are sold unfortunately oh that's a shame i met will at an antiques fair up
30:20north and i saw what he was doing i was really really impressed he's thrown everything into it
30:26packed in what he was doing that is a good looking chair he sold his car he sold this that and the
30:31other but everything into stock and he's given it his best and for that reason i will always you know
30:37give somebody my attention if they're going to go that far yeah just uh benefit from a bit of
30:48re-velveting wouldn't it yeah but it's nice very nicely made yeah not unusual to see them re-velveted
30:56either so that never looks too out of place does it really so what are you going to do without you
31:00going to strip all this horrible i was good this is the cover it yeah bit of a project pile also but
31:06absolutely happy to sell that and leave that to you if you if you would like to thank you it's not
31:11a bad job no tucked away in the back there's a bobbin table the legs shaped like bobbins three legs late
31:1919th century the top has got like a sort of sticky for mikey material over it so originally it would
31:27have had a velvet or a base on the top just like the tear underneath they'd have matched and it would
31:33have had stud work around the sides you can have that for 40 pounds alistair 40 pounds 40 pounds i'll
31:39just shake my hand god almighty 40 pounds 40 pounds 40 pounds will no there's a bit to do then
31:47that leaves plenty for you doesn't it yeah wow you can get an extra nice velvet now yes and put a
31:54little frill on it and everything can't you really go to town and really go to town on that get the right
31:58velvet the right stud work to ground the sides and basically just feed the wood and give it a mellow wax
32:06and it's ready to go these 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
32:29proper stuff holland and son's chairs is one of the things that will wants to show us they've just
32:34come in they're on the bench they're nice they're really really nice see a little bit of woodworm to
32:39the back rail and they need reupholstering and there's only two and all these things and i think
32:43no they're not for me but anything by holland really interests me because their name is bandied around
32:52by people who know founded in the early 19th century holland and sons were cabinet makers to
33:00queen victoria supplying items to osborne house and windsor castle as well as the houses of parliament
33:07this pair of gothic revival style chairs need reupholstering and are less valuable than a set of six or
33:13eight but with their prestigious makers stamp ellister thinks they could still be worth around 450 pounds
33:20quite nice on the calico just these it's not a big job to whip that off no and they'll look quite
33:27nice like that 180 if you're interested it's for nothing really what do you think i think they're a
33:35gift yeah yeah not you not right now i've just got lots and lots and lots okay yeah you're not going
33:43to find a better quality chair the holland and sun chairs drew convinced me they were a good buy he
33:49knows his stuff he's been in the game long enough and it's good to buy something different this is the
33:57main showroom really oh that's nice well this is more you lots and lots of nice things yeah i thought
34:03you might like that nice where did you get this will um just came off a an old school antiques dealer
34:09okay let's have a look-see okay so it's had a bit done 90 good yes it's a two-tiered cashmiri uh
34:23occasional table so with these cashmiri tables right there's really good ones there's mediocre ones and
34:28there's the rest this one is getting towards the top end of it it's in that area so the form when
34:36you look at it it's perfect in every single way it's all bang on but it's the decoration the decoration
34:43is superb this table is typical of the style made in cashmere a region of territorial conflict between
34:52india and pakistan centuries ago traders from central asia and persia brought papier-mache
34:58handcrafts to the area a delicate process of building layers of moistened paper pulp
35:04which are then hand painted with intricate designs whereas smaller decorative objects are common
35:09larger items of furniture are rarer meaning drew thinks this table could be worth around 2 000 pounds
35:18what you're looking for as well see this blue wash underneath here this blue finish underneath here
35:22right this is really important that you can see this this is original you can see it's had the
35:27odd bit of restoration and re-gluing and this that and the other it doesn't really matter how much is
35:31that it's got to be 1400 okay
35:43in county durham drew and alistair are visiting a young dealer they've discovered through their trade
35:48contacts you can have that for 40 pounds alistair 40 40 40 pounds i'll just shake down god almighty
35:55drew's handling over a highly desirable handcrafted side table that has a price tag to match how much is
36:03that it's got to be 1400 okay color's just lovely isn't it you're making money yeah there's enough in it
36:11there for sure yeah thank you thank you very much these little cashmere side tables are highly prized
36:17because they're extremely beautiful these look good wherever you put them they hold their value like
36:22billio and they just look great you've got great things thank you really great things really good
36:29they will what's that oh it's interesting what is it that might belong to my brother that oh is it
36:36but i'm sure he won't mind what is it you got it yeah you're good yep i know what that is
36:44it's the tailboard off of a cart yeah yeah that's right yeah i haven't looked at that for about 10
36:53years cool it's a nice one i'm sure he had intentions to put it in his children's bedroom but that
36:59hasn't happened so it's fair game now brother you love kicking in yeah yeah is he bigger than you yes
37:06well you're on your own mate only a little bit though i'd still have a go
37:09yeah there's a painted panel and it's folky it's naive it's very me and it's will's brothers
37:19and it's great it's definitely continental probably italian it's vibrant that's a great piece of wall
37:26art the best thing about you selling chairs is look all of a sudden look what you got on that or what's
37:32your brother got on that well i think you'd be fine with 120 for that it's worth a goal isn't it
37:39it's a no-brainer isn't it all right no problems 120 pounds for the panel brilliant there's money
37:46left in that will's been more than fair with his pricing today he's looked after us but that's what
37:54we do in the trade we look after each other we make sure everybody's got a bit left in it
37:59we've seen everything yes yeah so it's either pack up now or tea and cake tea and cake i think
38:06tea and cake sounds good thank you i've had a fantastic time today at will's place i really
38:14like him he's the real deal this job is not really a job it's a lifestyle and it's a great life and i
38:23really hope will carries on and i wish him all the success that he is definitely deserves great to
38:30see you again thank you very much for the business i really appreciate it thank you very much allister
38:34best of luck with everything i'll see you soon cheers bye-bye i've had a fantastic day today yeah
38:39it's been um everything i could have wished for they are about the first dealers really to ever come
38:45here so it's been really nice to have them walk around and see everything and take it all in and
38:50give me the feedback yeah you're right he was a nice lad isn't he brilliant very fair too he's got
39:00everything going for him he just needs to keep doing it as long as i'm doing business i hope i'm going to
39:06be able to do business with him after a busy week on the road alistair is back in west wales
39:14where he's getting his buys prepped for sale the first job is to investigate the bobbing table he bought
39:20in durham he needs to strip back the modern vinyl covering the top to check the condition of the wood
39:27underneath okay so that comes off quite easy now
39:32as you can see the grain is lifted it's split in places from seeing what i can see now we're going
39:45to recover this but there's no point putting a new piece of cloth on it it'll just stick out like a
39:50sore thumb i want it in keeping with that that's my work done let's take it to the restorer now and they
39:57can 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 traditional upholstery tacks so we'll give a bit more there so we're sort of 75 so we'll
40:33have like a square 75 by 75. after cutting the velvet to size ali uses contact adhesive to both fabric and
40:45wood top to 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
41:27that'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 i think five per panel is fine
41:46i'm going to just trim the excess off then
41:50so whilst the table is upside down i'm just going to take this bottom shelf off
41:55and then we'll follow exactly the same process for this bit as for the top of the table the only
42:03thing we've got to do now to finish the top is to put some upholstery nails around the edges
42:12these are going in beautifully
42:13okay 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
42:32once the shelf has been completed the table will be joining alistair's other finds in his shop
