00:00Hello and welcome to Bargain Hunt from Carmarthenshire in West Wales.
00:05Now we love to see a good battle on the show
00:09but thankfully no one's got hurt, not yet anyway.
00:13But in days gone by when knights and soldiers were fighting
00:17they needed to wear the right armour.
00:19They often used chain mail or ring mail for protection
00:23but it could take months to make a single piece of armour.
00:27It's now an endangered craft
00:30and later I'll be meeting a man dedicated to keeping the tradition alive.
00:35But first it's time for battle to commence.
00:38Let's go bargain hunting!
00:57Today our teams will be shopping at this antiques fair
01:05and this antiques centre in the town of Clandilo
01:09and there's plenty to catch their eye.
01:11With only one hour on the clock, both teams have £300 to buy three items.
01:16One item must cost at least £75 and there is more challenge to take care of.
01:20Whoever makes the biggest profit or the smallest loss will be crowned the winner.
01:25But first, let's meet today's teams.
01:28I'm Eve.
01:29I'm Rachel and we're putting our best foot forward.
01:31To keep those blues on their toes.
01:33Ooh, fighting talk. How's your knowledge of antiques?
01:37I don't know a lot at all, really.
01:39Rachel's got some interesting antiques from her family.
01:42Family background with antiques. My auntie's got a shop.
01:45What will you be drawn to?
01:48Functional, practical items we like, yeah.
01:51And who's going to take the lead?
01:53I think Eve will because she's my boss in work.
01:56Right then, let's see who you're up against.
01:59I'm Gareth. And I'm Neera.
02:01We're a competitive player with a winning player.
02:04Raring to go, great stuff. Any tactics?
02:07We're going to use Neera's skills and bargaining skills
02:11to be able to get what we want, to win.
02:14Do you have similar tastes?
02:16Gareth's definitely going to pick up a few things
02:17that I think I'm going to be saying straight away,
02:19put it back down.
02:21Will there be arguments?
02:23No.
02:25Do you not?
02:26You're absolute cheap.
02:28We've met our reds and blues, so let's get started.
02:32Hello, teams. Hello.
02:34Gather round. Hi, hi.
02:35Now, the big day's here, so how are we all feeling?
02:37Excited. Excited. Ready to go.
02:39Any nerves?
02:41No.
02:42No?
02:43Now, before I send you away bargain hunting,
02:45what do you need?
02:46Money.
02:47Money, okay.
02:48So reds, who wants the cash?
02:49You want the cash.
02:50Right, Rachel, that is yours.
02:52Thank you.
02:53Blues?
02:54Mate.
02:55There you go, Neera, all yours.
02:56So that means Eve, you get the challenge.
02:57Thank you.
02:58Don't open it just yet.
02:59Gareth, that's all yours.
03:00Okay, thank you.
03:01Now, you've got the cash.
03:02You've got the challenge.
03:03What's missing?
03:04Exert!
03:05Two of them.
03:06You've got two fine experts waiting for you, so off you go and meet them.
03:09Thank you.
03:10And best of luck, teams.
03:11They've got the fighting spirit, but what are they looking for in an expert?
03:16We're looking for somebody who's cool under pressure.
03:19Someone with really good energy.
03:21Someone who keeps us on track.
03:23And really, really helpful.
03:25And somebody with great tastes.
03:27Well, hopefully, I am that person.
03:30Hello!
03:31For the reds, it's Richard and Madley.
03:32Nice to meet you.
03:33Hello!
03:34Oh, thank goodness me, hello!
03:36And for the blues, it's Izzy Balmer.
03:38Do you want to do that?
03:39Yes!
03:40Right, teams, let's have a look in those envelopes.
03:43An item with feet!
03:45Oh!
03:46A piece of silver jewellery.
03:48Oh!
03:49Let's go.
03:50Let's go.
03:51The teams are off.
03:53Let's go shopping.
03:54Yeah.
03:55And the blues waste no time in spotting this.
03:57Is there a medicine bottle?
03:59Or a drinks?
04:00No, I think that would be a drinks bottle, yeah.
04:04Martel.
04:05Okay.
04:06Cognac.
04:07There's no stamp on it either.
04:08It's not silver.
04:09I thought it might be silver.
04:10No.
04:11It's a nice little piece, but what are you going to do with it?
04:14It hasn't got its stopper.
04:15That's true.
04:16That is true.
04:17Okay.
04:18That can go back.
04:19It can go back.
04:20I think that's a no, Gareth.
04:22Better keep looking.
04:24Meanwhile, the Reds are on the hunt for their challenge item.
04:28Oh, that's got feet.
04:29That's certainly.
04:30It's got three feet, hasn't it?
04:31Yeah, three feet.
04:32Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:33It's very useful having three feet.
04:34Put a plant or something in there.
04:35Exactly.
04:36See someone's living room.
04:37Now, in the 18th century, when these Georgian washstands, or wigstands as they were called,
04:43were made, that would have had a bowl in it.
04:46Mm-hmm.
04:47And it would have been used in a bedroom?
04:49For washing, indeed.
04:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:51Prissy, isn't it?
04:52I quite like it.
04:53It's a practical, functional item.
04:54It's got the little drawers.
04:55Yeah, yeah.
04:56It's got a price tag, I can see.
04:58I can't read it, but if you tell me what the price tag says.
05:00It says 135.
05:01Ah, does it?
05:02Okay.
05:03Right.
05:04In today's market, that auction is probably about £100, so I don't want to set off.
05:10No.
05:11With something that we're going to...
05:12No.
05:13Shall we keep looking?
05:14Yeah, we'll keep looking.
05:15It's a good start.
05:16So while the Reds move on, the Blues have found something that meets my challenge.
05:20A piece of silver jewellery.
05:22So what do you think of this, Neera?
05:23Oh, I quite like this, actually.
05:24I like the pattern.
05:25It's a gentleman's chain.
05:26We'd call this a flat kerb link.
05:28That's the style of the link there.
05:30Okay.
05:31Okay.
05:32And is this silver?
05:34It will be, but let me have a look to double check.
05:36It is definitely stamped.
05:38It's teeny tiny, but yeah, there it is.
05:40925, that's silver.
05:41Okay.
05:42And how much is that, Neera?
05:43Oh, let's have a look.
05:44£30.
05:45Oh, okay.
05:47Maybe a bit too much.
05:48We definitely want to get some money off that, but why don't we ask?
05:51Yeah.
05:52Then we know.
05:53It'd be a good place to start, isn't it?
05:54I've got on it.
05:55Do it for £25.
05:56Ooh.
05:57Shall we do it for £22?
05:59Yeah.
06:00What do we think?
06:02£22.
06:03I think it's quite good.
06:04I think this would sell.
06:05Is that the lowest you can go?
06:06It is up for you, yeah.
06:07Okay, okay.
06:08Shall we have a little think about it?
06:10Okay.
06:11We know it's here.
06:12Yeah, we know it.
06:13Thank you.
06:14It's a big burner.
06:15Meanwhile, the reds are thinking outside the box.
06:17Something with feet.
06:18How about this?
06:19Yeah, I love the way that you're thinking.
06:22One foot, two foot, a vintage tape measure.
06:25Yeah, what do you think of that?
06:26Now, I've got no idea how much they are.
06:29No.
06:30But without a price, it's hard to say, I like your thinking.
06:33Yeah.
06:34I don't think they're exactly what we're looking for.
06:36Right, fair enough.
06:37Okay.
06:38It was worth a go.
06:39Good try, Eve.
06:40Now what's caught Gareth's eye?
06:42I love the pig.
06:43I like the pig.
06:44Do you like the pig?
06:45I like the pig.
06:46Let's have a look at the pig.
06:47So it's made out of, you know, it's a wicker pig.
06:49It's a woven pig.
06:50Yeah.
06:51Yes, it's got a tail.
06:53I do like the pig.
06:54I like it.
06:55And it's actually not as expensive at £40 as I thought it might be.
06:58Okay.
06:59However, that doesn't mean that I'm not keen for a bargain.
07:01Yes.
07:02So I think we do, I think someone's going to love it or hate it.
07:05Yes.
07:06So we do want to get it for the best price possible.
07:08Nira, do you want to go off and find out the best price?
07:11Yes.
07:12I think so.
07:13Go on, Nira.
07:14Okay.
07:15Are you taking the pig with you?
07:16I'm going to take the pig with me.
07:17Are you sure?
07:18Right, okay.
07:19Whilst Nira goes off to get the best price on the pig, the Reds are still on the hunt for
07:23something with feet.
07:24Arts and Crafts, Liberty Style Carver Chair.
07:28Yeah.
07:29Well, let me tell you this.
07:31This is nothing to do with the Arts and Crafts movement.
07:34The Arts and Crafts movement was around about the end of 1880, 1890.
07:39Yeah.
07:40This is earlier.
07:41So this would have been made in Lancashire.
07:43It's not Welsh.
07:44Yeah.
07:45It's English and it was probably made either in the late 18th or early 19th century.
07:50Yeah.
07:51And it's called a ladder back chair.
07:53Yeah.
07:54Yeah.
07:55Yeah.
07:56I'm focusing not just on the ladder back and the rush seat, but it's on top.
07:59For the feet.
08:00Yeah.
08:01Yeah.
08:02It's got feet.
08:03Yeah.
08:04It's got pad feet.
08:05Yeah.
08:06I like it because it's priced at £40.
08:07Yeah.
08:08I really like it.
08:09Do you know what I really love is this wear that's on the arms here and tell that somebody's
08:12really used it.
08:13Exactly.
08:14Aren't you in at the back where somebody's held on to the back?
08:16Yeah.
08:17Right then.
08:18Shall we find out what the stall holder says?
08:19Yeah.
08:20Definitely.
08:21While the Reds find the dealer, how's Neera getting on with that pig?
08:26Hello.
08:27You okay?
08:28Yes.
08:29Hi.
08:30This is absolutely amazing.
08:31We really, really like it.
08:32And I can see, I think it's 40 on here.
08:34Could you do anything closer to sort of £25?
08:3828.
08:4026?
08:41Oh, go on.
08:43Oh, okay.
08:44Fantastic.
08:45That would be great.
08:46Hello.
08:47Hello.
08:48Okay.
08:49You're looking rather pleased with yourself.
08:50I think I got a good price.
08:51Okay.
08:52But you can tell me.
08:53Got it for 26.
08:54What do we think?
08:55£26.
08:56That's amazing.
08:57I think that's fantastic.
08:58I think that's a really good deal.
08:59Well done.
09:00I actually doesn't, I don't want to leave it go, actually.
09:01No.
09:02I mean, I've got to ask the question.
09:03Are we going for it?
09:04I think I know the answer.
09:05I think yes.
09:06It's a yes, a yes and a yes.
09:07It's a yes.
09:08Well done, blues.
09:10At £26, the wicker pig is your first buy with just 13 minutes on the clock.
09:15Time's ticking.
09:16Yeah.
09:17Let's get going, Toby.
09:18Yeah.
09:19What's the news on the chair, Reds?
09:21Do 35 for you?
09:2235.
09:23I think that's fair.
09:24Yeah, yeah.
09:25Thank you very much.
09:26Look at that.
09:27Thank you.
09:28Thank you very much.
09:29That was one of the quickest hands I've ever seen.
09:30Sold.
09:31Thank you very much indeed.
09:32Well done, Reds.
09:33The ladder back chair for £35 ticks off my challenge.
09:37One item down, two more to go.
09:40Now, what are the blues looking at?
09:42That's signed.
09:43Oh, yeah.
09:44Oh, yeah.
09:45It is silver, but it's not.
09:47It's not.
09:48I mean, maybe it doesn't matter that it's not marked as silver.
09:51Because it's Native American Indian, it's signed by the maker.
09:55Yeah.
09:56Rather than being hallmarked.
09:57Which they didn't hallmark them back then.
09:59Well, I mean, what do you two think?
10:00Do you think it's enough to buy a piece?
10:03I just don't know whether we would make money back for it.
10:05No, I think we need to stick with 95.
10:08There are collectors of that.
10:11How much did you say it was?
10:1378.
10:14But what's your very best?
10:16Oh.
10:17It would have to be 50, I think.
10:19It is pretty.
10:20It's not stamped silver.
10:22It is silver, but are we deciding we don't want to get something?
10:27No.
10:28I think it needs to be stamped silver.
10:29I do.
10:30Quite right.
10:31My challenge is to find something marked as silver.
10:34I think we should move on.
10:35We should move on.
10:36I'm very sorry.
10:37Thank you so much.
10:38Good call, Blues.
10:39Now, what's Richard spotted?
10:41A vintage.
10:42I don't know how old is it.
10:43It could be 19th century.
10:44Yeah, yeah.
10:45Has it got a price on it?
10:46Ah, price, that is important.
10:4895.
10:4995.
10:50It's described as a child's.
10:52Period child wheelbarrow.
10:53Yes.
10:54What do you think?
10:55Period is a nice term because it doesn't commit you to anything.
10:58It's saying that it is of a period.
10:59It could be the Edwardian period.
11:01Yeah.
11:02It could be the 1930s.
11:03Yeah.
11:04I think it's rather sweet.
11:05Yeah.
11:06I could see that.
11:07Doing all right?
11:08I mean, 95 pounds, it's more than we want to pay.
11:12Yeah, I think so, yeah.
11:13Yeah, yeah.
11:14Well, shall we look inside and just see if there's anything else first,
11:16and then we can come back?
11:17Yeah.
11:18Good idea.
11:19They're not convinced, but don't leave it too late.
11:22You're halfway through your shop teams.
11:24Oh, what found?
11:25What do you think to this?
11:26So, it's definitely got some hallmarks or something on there.
11:30It's a bit unusual.
11:31It's a silver anchor pendant.
11:33So, it is a pendant.
11:34Oh, it's an anchor.
11:35But why would...
11:36I was going to say, why would you have an anchor?
11:37But I suppose that's quite romantic if you give someone an anchor
11:40and you're saying, you're my anchor, or maybe you're saying,
11:42I'm your anchor.
11:43The ticket price is £25.
11:45What's your best, best, best, I've twisted your arm behind your back price?
11:4920.
11:50Sorry.
11:51Oh.
11:52Okay.
11:53I should have sent nearer in.
11:54Yeah.
11:55Can we go...
11:57How are you all right?
11:5815.
11:5918.
12:0016.
12:0116.
12:0216?
12:03For you.
12:04Oh, thank you so much.
12:06I think it's £16.
12:07It's quite unusual.
12:08Yeah.
12:09I don't want to pressurise you into getting something, but...
12:11But time's ticking.
12:12Exactly.
12:13At the end of the day, we've only sold for £5 or £10.
12:15We haven't lost a huge amount, and it might sell for £20, £25.
12:18Yeah.
12:19I think that's good for it.
12:20Okay.
12:21Thank you very much.
12:22Thank you so much.
12:23Thank you.
12:24Good haggling blues.
12:25That's your second item bought and my challenge ticked off.
12:28£16 for the silver anchor pendant.
12:31Let's go.
12:32Shall we have a quick look there?
12:33Yes.
12:34And then go inside?
12:35Yeah.
12:36Okay.
12:37Back with the reds, Richard's eyeing up more cheers.
12:38So here we've got that tradition.
12:40It's like a Windsor hoop back with three vertical splats.
12:44Yeah.
12:45With an odd one thrown in there.
12:47Yeah.
12:48Yeah.
12:49So really, we could be looking at a set of four, five or six.
12:52Yeah.
12:53You're thinking...
12:54I want to know the helmet.
12:55Do you?
12:56Yeah.
12:57Do you...
12:58Do you...
12:59Are you thinking Richard's, you know, gone a bit off piece now?
13:01Well, they've seen better days.
13:02They have some days, haven't they?
13:03They have some days.
13:04I'm not sure about the paint job, really.
13:05No.
13:06Well, it depends on how much...
13:07We don't know how much they are.
13:08Yeah.
13:09Bobby, can you take us through the pricing on these, please?
13:11For four...
13:12They could be 50.
13:14That price doesn't help us a lot for four, does it?
13:17No.
13:18We're going to be making our big spend.
13:19Yeah.
13:20Yeah.
13:21And ironic as it sounds, but we want to pay more money.
13:24So how many chairs could we have for 75?
13:29The six.
13:31Would you prefer a child's period wheelbarrow at 75?
13:34I think I would.
13:35You would?
13:36I think I would prefer the wheelbarrow.
13:37Yeah.
13:38If we could get it for 75, yeah.
13:39Thank you.
13:40Thank you.
13:41Thank you.
13:42So they're putting all their eggs in a child's wheelbarrow.
13:45But will they get a good price?
13:47Now the Blues are looking at something completely different.
13:50Ah, silver plate toast rack.
13:53I really like toast racks, but I don't really like cricket.
13:56There's actually no price on this.
13:58It's 95.
13:5995?
14:00Okay.
14:01I mean, they can do well, but...
14:04Okay.
14:05I feel like none of us love it.
14:06No.
14:07Circa 1900.
14:08I like the fact that it's practical.
14:11There are cricket lovers out there.
14:13Yeah, true.
14:14Who love memorabilia.
14:16And Izzy's just said she loves toast racks.
14:19I do like toast racks.
14:20How much would you pay for this, Izzy?
14:22Why don't we offer 75 pounds?
14:24Excuse me.
14:25Right.
14:26I know what you're going to say.
14:27Could we offer you a cheeky price of 75 pounds, please?
14:32Oh, you've bowled me over, you know, with that price.
14:35Terrible pun.
14:38Okay.
14:3975.
14:40Shake my hand.
14:41Okay.
14:42Don't.
14:43We're going to be...
14:44Don't, yes.
14:45...looking around, and then maybe we'll come back and shake your hand.
14:48The blues are playing it safe for now, and the toast rack goes on the back burner.
14:53Now what's the news on that wheelbarrow?
14:55The owner is prepared to accept our offer for our big spend of 75 pounds.
15:00Brilliant.
15:01Yes.
15:02Brilliant.
15:03Good.
15:04Good news.
15:05Brilliant news.
15:06In that case, it's sold.
15:07It's sold.
15:08Sold.
15:09The child's wheelbarrow for 75 pounds is your second item, and meets your big spend.
15:12Well done.
15:14Just 15 minutes to find those final item, teams.
15:17It's 135.
15:19Ooh, is it?
15:20I love the decoration on the top.
15:22What's the inside like?
15:23Ooh.
15:24Oh, wow, yes.
15:25Look at that.
15:26Wow.
15:27Okay.
15:28It's nice and deep, isn't it?
15:29So it's 19th century, so it's got some decent age to it.
15:32Would this be the original lining?
15:34Yeah.
15:35I say yes, but actually no.
15:36What's underneath?
15:37Look.
15:38Oh, yeah.
15:39So no, it's not.
15:40Yeah, okay.
15:41I think that adds to it though, doesn't it?
15:43Trunks are funny ones.
15:44Trunks can be tricky to sell.
15:46This could be 40, 50 pounds.
15:47It could be 1 to 150.
15:49Okay.
15:50What it has got going against it is the dome top.
15:52People generally prefer them flatter, because then you can use them as a coffee table, or you
15:56can at least put things on them, as well as hiding all the clutter inside.
15:59Of course.
16:00But I do think this is a very attractive one, and it has got some good age to it.
16:04Okay.
16:05It's not a 20th century copy.
16:06It is a bit of a risk.
16:07We might lose on it.
16:09Okay.
16:10We might make a profit on it.
16:11Shall we see what we can get it down to?
16:13Yeah.
16:14Sure, why not?
16:15Good idea, Neera.
16:16See what you can do.
16:17Meanwhile, the Reds are eyeing up this bench.
16:20Price-wise, I saw it is priced at 77 pounds.
16:2377.
16:24I mean, if you could get that.
16:2545.
16:26Yeah, I love it.
16:27I like your thinking.
16:28I do like that.
16:29Yeah.
16:30If you could get it for 45.
16:31Yeah.
16:32I think it's a good buy.
16:33Yeah, yeah.
16:34I do think it's a good buy.
16:35Why don't we ask?
16:36What's the news on the trunk blues?
16:38It's literally been in the country two days.
16:40We brought it in from our country house in Porgy or so.
16:43That's great.
16:44And you've got a price tag of 135.
16:49Can we make you an offer?
16:51You can.
16:5475.
16:55I can't go down to 75.
16:57I can do 100.
17:00Okay.
17:02What about 85?
17:04What about 90?
17:0589.
17:0689.
17:0789.
17:08Neera?
17:0989.
17:10I saw the...
17:11Neera?
17:12Okay.
17:13Yeah.
17:14Okay, thank you.
17:15You've got a bargain.
17:16Well done, blues.
17:17You're all shopped up.
17:18Your third item bought and your big spend sorted.
17:21Right.
17:22Let's go and enjoy some sunshine.
17:24Okay.
17:25Let's go.
17:26Now, how are the reds doing negotiating on that bench?
17:28Can you give us a better price than you've got on it?
17:31The very, very best price is 70 pounds.
17:3370.
17:34Okay.
17:35What do you think, Richard?
17:36Well, I think it's something that you liked straight away.
17:40I did.
17:41I think the price is fair.
17:42Yeah.
17:43Yeah.
17:44And if the auctioneer sees it, he may say, well, it's worth between 40 to 60 pounds of
17:49auction.
17:50However, you know, if two people want it, there's a potential profit there.
17:54Okay.
17:55And that's absolutely the thing, Colin.
17:56Absolutely the bottom that you could do on it.
17:5870.
17:59Yeah.
18:00Okay.
18:01So, can we have a quick scout round and then think about that and come back if we...
18:06Yeah, of course.
18:07Can I show you something else that I've seen on Colin's stand?
18:09Yeah, of course.
18:10Just to confuse you even more.
18:11Yeah, of course.
18:12All right.
18:13Can you sit on it?
18:14Yeah.
18:15You only have five minutes left, Reds.
18:16What's Richard found for you?
18:19A graduated set of copper saucepans.
18:21Brilliant.
18:22Yeah.
18:23They're French.
18:24Yeah.
18:25They could date from the early part of the last century.
18:27Mm-hmm.
18:28But I actually asked Colin when I was over here how much he would sell these for.
18:33Go on.
18:34Exactly.
18:35Yeah.
18:36Have a guess.
18:3750 quid.
18:38Oh, well, you are an optimist.
18:39You're not far off.
18:40It's copper.
18:41He said he'd let you have them for 60 pounds.
18:44Right.
18:45I think we need to do that.
18:46They are described rather dramatically as a batterie de cuisine.
18:51And they would have hung in a French kitchen.
18:54Yeah.
18:55They are, I think, a good buy.
18:57Yeah.
18:58A good buy.
18:59Absolutely love them.
19:00But you've got to make your mind up and decide between the bench at 70, which is fair.
19:07Yeah.
19:08Or the batterie de cuisine at 60.
19:10I think they're both good buys.
19:12Good buys, yeah.
19:13I do like those.
19:14I think they'd look good in a kitchen.
19:15They look quite decorative in a kitchen.
19:18Polished up, they'd be quite nice.
19:19Yeah.
19:20So I think I'd be happy with those.
19:21You like them.
19:22I really like them.
19:23Yeah.
19:24I'm getting the biggest buying signals now.
19:25Yeah.
19:26With just minutes to go from you.
19:27We've got there.
19:28We've found something that is really floating about.
19:30Yeah.
19:31I really like them.
19:32I like those.
19:33Should we go and shake Colin's hand?
19:34Yeah.
19:35Yeah.
19:36Yeah.
19:37Absolutely.
19:38Well done, Reds.
19:39That's your third and final item sorted.
19:41£60 for the copper pans.
19:44Whoa.
19:45Hold your horses, teams.
19:47Shopping is over.
19:48I think it's time.
19:49I wasn't going to say put the kettle on, but perhaps we could get some ice in that water
19:52now and have something just long and cool.
19:54Cool.
19:55Yeah.
19:56Sounds good.
19:57Let's remind ourselves what the red team bought.
20:00They kicked things off with a ladder back chair for £35, which meant my challenge of an item with feet.
20:09They spent big on this rustic child's wheelbarrow, £75 paid.
20:16And their final buy was a set of copper pans for £60.
20:20Eve, Rachel, Richard.
20:22That was a slow and steady start, wasn't it?
20:25You were past the halfway point before you bought your first item.
20:28I know.
20:29Then the panic set in.
20:30But you got there.
20:31You got there in the end.
20:32OK.
20:33So let's talk favourites.
20:34What was your favourite item, Eve?
20:35Well, I think we got a bargain with the chair.
20:37I like the chair.
20:38Right.
20:39So that's the challenge item.
20:40Yeah.
20:41Rachel, what was your favourite item?
20:42I love the copper pans.
20:43Right.
20:44OK.
20:45But what item do you think will make the biggest profit?
20:46Again, I think the copper pans are going to do the best.
20:49OK.
20:50Eve, what do you think?
20:51I'd agree.
20:52I think we had a good deal with the copper pans.
20:53Right.
20:54So how much did you spend in total?
20:56170.
20:57So that's left, Richard, 130.
20:59If you hand over the money.
21:00Yeah.
21:01Richard, any thoughts on what you're going to do with the cash?
21:04Well, I'm going to buy them something that is wholly appropriate to their profession.
21:10Oh, I'm intrigued.
21:11Let's hope it's not smelly.
21:13So while Richard goes off to find his bonus buy, let's remind ourselves what the blue team bought.
21:20They trotted into action with this wicker pig, £26 paid.
21:28They splashed out £16 on the silver anchor pendant to meet my challenge.
21:34And for their big spend, they bought the Portuguese trunk for £89.
21:40Blues, did you have fun?
21:41Yeah, it was amazing.
21:42Oh, it was fantastic.
21:43Let's talk about favourites.
21:45Neera, what was yours?
21:46Oh, I think mine was the pig.
21:48The pig is a fun item, isn't it?
21:50It was.
21:51It's a little bit different.
21:52It's a little bit quirky, isn't it, guys?
21:53But I think there's definitely a home for it somewhere.
21:56Gareth, what was your favourite?
21:57Okay, I love the pig, but my favourite item has to be the treasure trunk.
22:02I love that you just called it a treasure trunk.
22:04I know.
22:05I've just realised myself.
22:06So do you think this treasure trunk is going to bring home the treasure auction?
22:10I hope so, but I think the pig will make the most profit.
22:15Right, interesting.
22:16What about you, Neera?
22:17I actually think the trunk will make the most profit, to be honest.
22:20So how much did you spend in totals?
22:22We spent £131.
22:24Right, okay, so that leaves Izzy with £169.
22:27Yep.
22:28Now, Izzy, what are you going to do with that chunk of money?
22:31Well, you two have bought really visual items.
22:33Everything that we've purchased has got a really strong look to it,
22:36so I'm going to stick with that theme.
22:38Amazing.
22:39That's exciting.
22:40That's exciting.
22:41While Izzy goes to find her bonus buy, I'm off to learn about an endangered craft.
22:48Throughout history, soldiers have protected their bodies
22:51from the weapons of war.
22:53Leather was one of the earliest materials used,
22:56but as weapons became sharper and more dangerous,
22:59metal armour and chainmail in particular offered much better protection.
23:04I've come to meet Professor Phil Parks,
23:06who's one of the few people in the UK still making it from scratch.
23:10So tell me about chainmail, what exactly is it?
23:14Chainmail is thousands of interlocked rings that are woven into rows
23:19and provide armour for the soldiers wearing it.
23:21So when was it used?
23:22There's archaeological evidence showing that it was found around 300 BC.
23:27Wow.
23:28But all the way through to about the sort of 15th, 16th centuries.
23:31The rings give really good protection against slashing weapons.
23:34And if you think back in that period you're looking at swords,
23:38you're looking at spears, arrows,
23:40it gives great protection against that sort of attack.
23:42So what are these pieces here?
23:44This one itself is a 16th century shirt.
23:47This one here is a replica of a 15th century neck protection
23:51that I've made myself.
23:52Wow.
23:53And you can see that it's got much denser rings here
23:55around the throat for better protection.
23:57And that's where you need it if you think you've got those arteries there
24:00and lighter rings around the shoulders here for more mobility.
24:04And that's what they did.
24:05They varied the size of ring depending on where you needed protection
24:08and where you needed mobility.
24:09Would you like to try this on?
24:10Oh, I would love to.
24:11I've never worn real chainmail.
24:15Ooh.
24:16I'm officially locked in, aren't I?
24:18I see what you mean.
24:19It's actually quite heavy and it's not even a full piece.
24:22I quite like it though.
24:23I think it accessorises well.
24:25It suits you.
24:26And I can feel the difference in the neck area.
24:28It's very rigid.
24:29Nothing is getting through that.
24:31No.
24:32So how long would it take to make this piece?
24:33A piece like this, making all the rings as well,
24:36would take about 500 hours or about five months' work.
24:39Five months?
24:41Chainmail was used in Europe until the 16th century,
24:44but as weapons improved and arrows became narrower and sharper,
24:48stronger plated armour became a more popular choice.
24:51Mail making has now become an endangered craft,
24:54but Phil is passionate about keeping the skill alive
24:57and he's going to show me how it's done.
24:59So, Phil, where do you even begin to make a piece of armour?
25:03Well, we start with a piece of wire.
25:06So I've got a mandrel here.
25:07OK.
25:08The wire goes in and you simply coil.
25:13Oh, wow.
25:14And you can see you end up with a spring.
25:16OK.
25:17Keep coiling and you get a longer spring.
25:21What we're going to do next is have a go at cutting the rings off this.
25:25And what you're looking to do is skip over.
25:28Go to the first full one?
25:29Yep.
25:30OK.
25:31And snip.
25:32And if you think to this piece here, there's 13,500 rings in that.
25:35So...
25:36It sounds so silly, bearing in mind it's an ancient craft.
25:39You assume that you just buy the rings in packets of 500 and put them all together.
25:45But no, back then you were making everything from the metal to the rings before you even make the piece.
25:52It's funny you say that because you can do that.
25:54OK.
25:55But the heritage craft part of it is making the rings from wire and going through the whole process.
26:00Right. That is the true craft.
26:02So what happens next?
26:03Next up what we have to do...
26:04OK.
26:05...is we have to heat the rings.
26:06The idea is that it's the getting them to the temperature and then allowing them to cool slowly...
26:10Right.
26:11...that makes them soft.
26:12So I've got some rings here that I've made earlier.
26:15These are already annealed and softened and they're ready for hammering flat.
26:19You've got to get a nice even overlap.
26:23And you can see you've got a ring there.
26:26Oh, that's lovely.
26:27Right. So you've now flattened it.
26:29You've now flattened it.
26:30You've got all your rings which are ready to work with and turn into chainmail. Not yet?
26:33Not yet.
26:34Not yet. OK. What's the next step?
26:35Well, the next step is to actually make a hole in these so they can be riveted together.
26:40So, using this tool here, a drift.
26:42Right.
26:43We can put a little hole in there.
26:45And now we're actually getting to the sort of mail making stage which is weaving them together.
26:53OK.
26:54You're going to put it apart like that.
26:55Right.
26:56And then you're going to thread on four of these rings here.
26:59OK.
27:00Yep.
27:01So you're going to thread those on. Close it back up. And that's all good. But what we've got to do now is make that secure.
27:08OK.
27:09And we've got to put the rivet in. The rivets are tiny.
27:13So the rivet goes in there. Like that. OK.
27:19We're going to take this, our riveting tool, and we simply squeeze shut. So that's the basic unit of making mail. This is what we call a fivelet.
27:29A fivelet, OK.
27:30And you'll make lots of these and link them all together into something like this.
27:35I knew it was going to be technical, but I did not realise just how fiddly this would be.
27:42So with all this sort of process, there are several stages where things can go wrong.
27:46Yes.
27:47And if I make 500 rings, I might get 400 at the end of it that are usable.
27:53Well, I can see why it's taken you five months to produce this. How much would it cost to buy? Dare I ask?
27:59If I was to sell this, I mean, it's five months of my life, my work, I'd say probably around £17,000.
28:05Wow, that's incredible. But, but I have to say, they're paying for your time, your skill.
28:11Phil, thank you so much. It's been fascinating to learn about this ancient craft.
28:16It's so heartwarming to see you keeping it alive. Thank you.
28:19Thank you very much.
28:20But now it's time for me to head to the auction.
28:22I've come to Carmarthen to meet auctioneer Ian Taylor.
28:29Still going at 42, 48, gavels up at 50.
28:34Ian, lovely to see you.
28:35You too, Croissone. Welcome. Nice to have you.
28:37Now, let's start with the reds. And Eve and Rachel were shopping with Richard.
28:41Now, the first item is down here. It's the 19th century oak ladder back chair.
28:46Quite classic. Do you like it? What do you make of it?
28:48I do, yeah. It's really nice, actually. It's got a really good patina.
28:51So well it was conditioned, especially where they've been sort of leaning on the arms. Structurally sound.
28:56What do you think it will make? We've put 40 to 60 on it.
28:59Well, that's good. They only spent £35 on it. OK.
29:02Well, moving from the chair to their second item, it's this vintage rustic painted child's wheelbarrow.
29:07It's a nice thing. Good country look. And we did look at it as to whether it might be Edwardian.
29:12We think it's a little bit later. It's certainly Edwardian style and probably early 20th century.
29:17OK. Well, I'm intrigued to know what estimate you're going to put on this.
29:21Well, we've put it in a 20 to 30.
29:23So they've spent £75 on the wheelbarrow. OK. Right. I'll do my best.
29:28You will do your best. I'm absolutely sure.
29:30And then the last item is this graduated set of copper sauce pans.
29:34Yeah, they're really nice. And you can tell straight away there's quality there when you lift them up.
29:38They're really heavy, good quality things. 19th century.
29:41From Ville d'Eure, which is a province in France.
29:44So what estimate are you putting on them?
29:4630 to 50.
29:47Well, £60 spent on the five pans. OK.
29:50So possibility of a profit there.
29:52Those are the red items. Now moving on to the blues.
29:54So Gareth and Neera were shopping with Izzy. And their first item is this modern wicker study of a pig.
30:00Whether it's ceramic or wicker or wooden animals are always popular at auction.
30:05It's got a chance and it's a good size as well.
30:07So what kind of money do you think it will make at auction?
30:09We've put a guide price of £20 to £30 on it.
30:11They have spent £26 on this. OK.
30:13So right in the middle of your estimate.
30:15Yeah, we're on the money there.
30:16OK, well now the next item is a challenge item.
30:19And it's this silver hallmarked pendant in the shape of an articulated anchor.
30:23What do you think of it?
30:24I think it's lovely. It's got quite a lot of things going for it as well.
30:28You've got a collector's market for jewellery, stroke pendants.
30:31You've got nauticalia with the anchor and obviously silver collectors as well.
30:35It is unusual. So what kind of money are you putting on this?
30:37Well, we've put £15 to £20 on it.
30:39OK, well the blues spent £16 on this.
30:42OK.
30:43So we could be surprised.
30:44That's a really good price in my opinion.
30:46I would like to think there's a profit there for them.
30:48The last item, it's that huge trunk down there.
30:52Late 19th century, early 20th.
30:54It's quite a statement piece, isn't it?
30:56It is. It's really nice because we get a lot of trunks,
30:59but they're sort of of plain form.
31:01And although they're quite nice,
31:02this has this sort of multicoloured geometric decoration
31:05with the wooden and the metal banding.
31:07Now what do you think it will make at auction though?
31:09We've put a guide price of £30 to £40 on it.
31:12This was the blues big spend.
31:14OK.
31:15They spent £89 on it.
31:16Right.
31:17But listen, if anyone can do it, you can do it Ian, you're the man.
31:20Absolutely, we'll give it a good go.

32:42Are we done?
32:43At £45.
32:46Oh!
32:47Wow!
32:48I was right to be worried.
32:50Oh, no, listen.
32:51It was a lovely thing.
32:52You were at £30.
32:53Yeah.
32:54You're now back to zero.
32:55Oh, well, that's good.
32:56Because you lost 30, so you're not positive, you're not negative.
32:59Finally is your set of five French copper saucepans.
33:03The auctioneer likes them.
33:04So do I.
33:05£60 spent.
33:06Best of luck.
33:07At 30.
33:082.
33:095.
33:1040 with me.
33:11£40.
33:125.
33:138.
33:14We're at 48.
33:1550 fresh blood.
33:16At 50.
33:175.
33:1860.
33:1960.
33:20Against you online.
33:2165.
33:22Yes!
33:23Yes, yes, yes.
33:2465.
33:2570.
33:26At £70.
33:27Let's have another one.
33:285.
33:2980.
33:30At £80.
33:31Do you want five online?
33:33It's in the room at £80 then.
33:35Are you done?
33:36Finished?
33:37Yay!
33:38Well done.
33:39Now, this is interesting.
33:42So your zero is now £20 plus in profit.
33:46Well done.
33:47Now, it's not over yet, because you left Richard £130 for his bonus buy.
33:51So close your eyes, ladies.
33:53Nice and tight.
33:54Richard, off you go and get your bonus buy.
33:57Open your eyes.
33:59Ooh, Richard.
34:00How much did you pay for that?
34:02Straight away, I got an ooh and a how much.
34:05I was thinking about your profession.
34:07You are both podiatrists.
34:08Yeah, yes.
34:09So what have I bought you?
34:10I bought you a footman.
34:12A 19th century painted footman.
34:17Probably dates from 1850.
34:19Would have stood in front of a fire to keep plates warm.
34:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:23It's got four feet.
34:24It's got feet.
34:25It has got feet indeed.
34:26It's got a pierced frieze.
34:28It's got an open top to let the heat through.
34:31You see, I'm biased towards this rusty old look,
34:34but I can tell you're not buying it quite as strongly.
34:38Well, how much did you say you paid for it?
34:40I paid £40 for it.
34:43£40.
34:44And how much do you think it would make?
34:46Well, I think that if we made a couple of pounds profit,
34:51we'd have had a great day.
34:53Reds, tell me what you're thinking.
34:55I'm thinking there's not much use for it these days.
34:59And we wouldn't want to encourage people
35:01to be putting their feet too near a file.
35:03No, it's for plates.
35:04Oh, plates.
35:05OK.
35:07So are you going with it, Reds?
35:09Yes or no?
35:10I think no.
35:11No.
35:12No, we're not.
35:13Sorry, Richard.
35:14Oh!
35:15Bless.
35:16Bless you, Reds.
35:17But they're saying it with a big smile on their face.
35:19Absolutely.
35:20I'm not taking offence.
35:21So the Reds are not going with Richard's bonus buy,
35:24but what does the auctioneer think?
35:26It is a proper antique, simply constructed,
35:29but quite naively done, actually,
35:31which might be in its favour, believe it or not.
35:34What's your estimate for auction?
35:35We have only put £10 to £20 on it.
35:37Richard spent £40 on it.
35:39OK.
35:40Well, we'll do our best.
35:41There has been a little bit of interest,
35:42so fingers crossed.
35:43Good to know.
35:46He's put a conservative estimate of £10 to £20 on it.
35:49Ooh!
35:50Now, you did go for it.
35:51Let's see if you've made the right decision,
35:53because it's coming under the hammer now.
35:55£30.
35:56£30 for it.
35:58£20 to go, then.
35:59Any interest at £20?
36:00£10?
36:01£10 is bid.
36:03Yes.
36:04In the room at £10 against you online?
36:06£12?
36:07£15?
36:08£18, sir?
36:09£18?
36:10No?
36:11One more?
36:12Sure?
36:13£18 straight ahead.
36:14Is the £20 online?
36:15Final call.
36:16Gentleman's bid standing at £18.
36:20Ooh!
36:21Good choice.
36:22Right.
36:23Well, yes, I think Richard said it best.
36:25Good choice.
36:26So, for £18, it would have been a £22 loss,
36:29which would have taken you down to a minus two,
36:31but you have protected your profit of £20.
36:35You relieved?
36:36Very relieved.
36:44Blues, the auction day is here.
36:46How are you feeling?
36:47Really.
36:48Very excited.
36:49Really?
36:50They're rearing to gold.
36:51We are rearing for gold.
36:52Make a profit.
36:53Yes, definitely.
36:54One or three?
36:55Three profits.
36:56One for Izzy.
36:57Four profits.
36:58Now, the first item is, of course, your modern study wicker pig.
37:03OK.
37:04Which you only spent £26 on.
37:05Yeah.
37:06It's coming under the hammer right now.
37:08£30?
37:0920.
37:1020.
37:1120 for Porky.
37:12Aw!
37:13Come on!
37:14£10.
37:1510 has been at the front.
37:1610.
37:17Looking for 12.
37:1812.
37:19I've got 15 online.
37:2018 back in.
37:2120 surely.
37:2220.
37:2322.
37:24At £22, then.
37:25Are we done?
37:26Self.
37:2725.
37:28Yes!
37:29Right, come on.
37:3025 is standing.
37:31You're out at the front.
37:32I can't believe it.
37:33One more.
37:34One more, sir.
37:35One more.
37:36Yeah!
37:37Well done.
37:38Do you want £30?
37:39Are you sure?
37:40Final call, then.
37:42£28.
37:43It's worth every penny.
37:45£2.
37:46Thank you!
37:47Exactly.
37:48£2 profit.
37:49Well done.
37:50You're off and running.
37:51Now, your second item is your challenge item.
37:53It's a silver jewellery.
37:54And it's your lovely anchor pendant.
37:56Yes, beautiful.
37:57£16 spent.
37:58Tangle wrong.
37:59Bargain.
38:00Let's see how it does.
38:0115 has been online.
38:02At 15 and 18, 20 online.
38:05It's like you're in profit.
38:06Yes.
38:07At 20, where's two?
38:0825.
38:09At £25, do I see eight anywhere?
38:1128 and 30 is bid.
38:13At 30.
38:14At 30, is there two?
38:1535 we're up to.
38:17At £35, nice pendant at 35.
38:20Are we done and finished this time, then?
38:21Any interest in the room?
38:22Gavel is up at 35.
38:25Yay!
38:26Well done.
38:27Well done, Luz.
38:28Amazing.
38:29So that's taking your plus two to a plus 21.
38:33So well done on that.
38:3521.
38:36Your final item, your big spend.
38:37I'm really worried.
38:38This is the big spend.
38:39Your very large trunk is coming in now at £89.
38:41Best of luck.
38:42Thank you.
38:4330 is bid online.
38:44At 30.
38:4535.
38:4640.
38:47At £40.
38:48Look at two.
38:49At £40.
38:50Do I see two anywhere?
38:51It's got provenance.
38:52It's fantastic.
38:53It's fantastic.
38:54Final call, £42.
38:56£42.
38:57I'll take five.
38:58At £42.
38:59Final call.
39:00The gavel is up.
39:02At £42 only.
39:03Yay!
39:04Well, there we go.
39:05So your trunk, which you bought for £89, so for £42.
39:10Yeah.
39:11So that's taking your plus 21 to a minus 26.
39:14Oh!
39:15But it's not over because Izzy has still got a bonus buy.
39:19Come on, Izzy.
39:20You left £169, so close your eyes, Blues.
39:22We did.
39:23Yes.
39:24Izzy, off you pop.
39:25Come on, Izzy.
39:26Open your eyes.
39:28Oh!
39:29You two went for really visual pieces.
39:32Yes.
39:33So I've gone for a piece of mid-20th century Czech glass.
39:35Right.
39:36It's by a company called Mitzi Sov, and it's the Rhapsody range,
39:39which is recognisable from these nodules in blue, amber and green.
39:43Oh, OK.
39:44And it's by a designer called Frantisek Zemeck.
39:46Oh!
39:47So the Czech Republic made lots of glass, but it is quite underrated for glass.
39:50People go for Murano.
39:51Yes.
39:52A lot of Czech glass is misidentified as Murano.
39:54OK.
39:55But actually, they were really prolific glass makers.
39:56They had some fantastic designers.
39:58And although it's a more niche area of collecting, there are people that collect Czech glass.
40:03Can we ask how much you bought it for?
40:05I did pay quite a lot for it, if I'm really honest.
40:07OK.
40:08I paid £10.
40:09Oh!
40:10That is awesome.
40:11OK, that's amazing.
40:12How much do you think it will go for?
40:14I would like it to make £30 to £50, but even on a bad day, it should be doing £20 to £30.
40:18OK.
40:19That's good.
40:20Neera, what do you think?
40:21I think let's go for it.
40:22So do I.
40:23That's a definite yes to Izzy's bonus buy.
40:26But what does the auctioneer make of our sweet art glass bowl?
40:30I really like it, actually.
40:31The company is Mstissov, designed by Frantisek Zemeck.
40:34He actually became the chief designer in the 50s of the company.
40:38So what kind of estimate would you put on this for auction?
40:40Well, we've put £30 to £50.
40:42Izzy only spent £10 on this.
40:44Oh, wow.
40:45I think that's a very canny buy.
40:46The good news is the auctioneer loves it.
40:49He's put an estimate of £30 to £50 on it as well, so...
40:52Wow!
40:53Amazing.
40:54Let's see if you can claw yourself back into profit.
40:56Best of luck, Blues.
40:57It's going under the hammer now.
40:58Let's do it.
40:59What are we looking at, £50?
41:0150 for it.
41:0230 to go then.
41:03Got to be 30.
41:0420.
41:05It's checkmate.
41:06It will look amazing.
41:07£20 for it.
41:0920.
41:1020 is bid online.
41:11Yes, come on.
41:12Look at the two.
41:1322.
41:14I'll take five.
41:1525.
41:1628.
41:17Keep going.
41:18£28.
41:19At 30.
41:20At 30.
41:21At 30.
41:22I'm selling.
41:23It's handmade.
41:24Sell for 30.
41:26Yes!
41:27Well done, Izzy.
41:28Well done.
41:29I was just trying to get you out of the negative.
41:31Yes.
41:32And you were so close, Izzy.
41:34Well done.
41:35So you bought it for £10, sold it for £30.
41:37That's a lovely £20 profit.
41:39Yep.
41:40So your minus 26 is a minus six.
41:42But we know that could easily be a winning score.
41:45Easily.
41:46Reds.
41:47Blues.
41:48What a battle.
41:49But there can only be one winning team.
41:50And that winning team today is the Reds.
41:51Yes!
41:52Well done, Reds.
41:53I'll come back to you.
41:54Thank you.
41:55Blues.
41:56Well, you started off really well.
41:57You had a profit of £2 in the beginning.
41:58Then you went up and sadly it was the trunk, the large trunk, your big spend that just made me all the profits went back down again.
42:19So you were at minus 26 and Izzy saved the day and took you to minus six.
42:24Did you have fun?
42:25Yeah, best day ever.
42:26It was definitely a great day.
42:29Reds, today's winners.
42:30Congratulations.
42:31Thank you very much.
42:32It was well deserved.
42:33You started off really strongly with the profit.
42:35You lost all of that, went back to zero and then went back up again.
42:39But you didn't go with Richard's bonus buy.
42:41Oh.
42:42Yes.
42:43But you made the right decision in the end because you're going home with £20.
42:46Yes.
42:47Now, did you enjoy the experience?
42:49Oh, it was really fun.
42:50It was really, really good.
42:51Five minutes.
42:52Well, listen, both teams well done.
