07:23I was immediately drawn to this watercolour of boats
07:29because the artist has used such confident brushwork
07:34to bring out the masts of the ships,
07:36the boats, the little sailing boats in the background.
07:39He's used watercolour on paper
07:41and I can see that it's signed George Horton,
07:44who has spent a lot of his life in South Shields.
07:46Now how did this come to be yours?
07:48Well George Horton is a great, great uncle of mine
07:52whom I never knew
07:53and I discovered him through doing family history quite a while ago
07:57and he turns out to be an artist.
08:00So we looked him up and tried to find something.
08:03I bought it and I didn't know where it was painted,
08:06I didn't know much about him
08:07but a cousin of mine who lives in Canada came to see me
08:10and he immediately recognised it as a Dutch boat
08:13as though it's painted in Holland.
08:15I think actually George Horton's quite inspiring
08:17because his family didn't really support him as an artist
08:21and as the story goes he taught himself how to paint
08:25by going to his local library
08:27and copying reproductions of the old masters
08:31and it was only on his honeymoon, which was to Holland,
08:34that he became completely inspired
08:35by the tradition of Dutch landscape painting
08:37and therefore became inspired to paint boats such as these.
08:42from a distance this looks like quite a rainy day.
08:46He's used a palette of browns and greys
08:49to describe the background,
08:51the water is a bit sludgy,
08:53it's not sunny, there's no beautiful reflection
08:56but then to make it more dynamic
09:00he's bringing out the colour
09:02and I think that could be some sails that are wrapped up,
09:05it could be cargo
09:06but most importantly it really draws you in.
09:09I love it
09:10and it's also quite bold for the time period
09:12that he was painting in.
09:13I mean he was painting in the early 20th century
09:14at a time where this kind of impressionistic style
09:18had only really quite recently come to Britain.
09:22Yes, yes.
09:22What do you like about it?
09:24Oh well I love it first of all
09:25because I know he was a relative of mine
09:27which is brilliant
09:28and like you say it's just that colour
09:30just pulls you into the centre of it doesn't it
09:32and it just lightens everything.
09:34And is the rest of your family artistic?
09:36No, not at all.
09:38Certainly not me.
09:39So the Horton jeans.
09:40Yes, yes, no, no, they haven't come through to me, sorry.
09:43No, no.
09:44Well it's the sort of thing
09:45that were it to come to auction today
09:47I would probably put an estimate
09:48in the region of £400 to £600.
09:51Right, yes, that's, that's,
09:53the money pride isn't important
09:54it's just that I've got a painting
09:56that belonged to a relative of mine
09:58which is absolutely wonderful.
09:59Let's find the next Horton in the family
10:01who might be a good artist.
10:04Sorry, it won't be me.
10:12Well I think everybody knows who these four are.
10:15It's a great, great photograph of them
10:17and with all these lovely signatures below.
10:20How did you come by it?
10:21So this came to me by my dad
10:23by his brother
10:25who got it via George Harrison's dad.
10:27Oh really?
10:29In a pub drinking in Skipton
10:31but my dad's brother
10:33didn't like the Beatles
10:34like Cliff Richard.
10:40But my dad's brother did say
10:41well look my brother
10:42absolutely adores the Beatles so
10:43and then a few years ago
10:45my dad said
10:47you can have it now
10:47because you're the biggest Beatles fan.
10:49And when the children were younger
10:50they always used to ask
10:52who is it in the picture
10:52so we'd say it's something called
10:54John Paul George and Ringo in the picture.
10:57I think you were saying well.
10:58We're good.
10:59Yeah.
11:00We're good.
11:00Fantastic.
11:01So well I think it's a great photograph
11:03and the story gives it
11:05provenance as well.
11:06But you have to remember
11:07that there are a lot of these photographs
11:09with facsimile
11:11you know signatures
11:12and they're out there everywhere
11:15you know
11:15but
11:16this particular one
11:18is a genuine one.
11:19These are genuine signatures.
11:22That means
11:23that this
11:24if it went into auction
11:26and I'm going to be
11:27very conservative
11:27this is worth
11:29between
11:29three and five thousand pounds.
11:32Wow.
11:33Wow.
11:34That's amazing.
11:35This is a very interesting cow horn.
11:58What do you think it was for?
12:00Well blowing
12:00making a tune of course.
12:02No it was for holding gum powder.
12:04Oh my gum powder.
12:06It's a powder horn.
12:07We didn't know that did we?
12:08Where did you get it?
12:10Well it was my grandfather's
12:12and then when he passed away
12:14it went down to my father
12:15and now
12:16he passed away a few years ago
12:18so it's now mine.
12:21So you've known it all your childhood.
12:23I've
12:23I've
12:23I remember it at my grandparents house.
12:26You do?
12:26Yes.
12:27When I first saw it
12:27I thought it was North American.
12:30Yes.
12:30Settlers.
12:31We wondered about it
12:33Is that what you think it is?
12:34Yeah.
12:34Then I got confused
12:35with the design here.
12:37This is very geometric
12:38and not American at all.
12:40Yeah.
12:40And it reminds me
12:41of the work of a designer
12:42called Bugatti
12:43which it isn't.
12:45I mean it almost makes me wonder
12:46where he got his ideas.
12:47I mean he might have seen
12:48something like this.
12:49Yeah.
12:50And then I looked at this
12:50more closely.
12:52This is cow horn
12:53and these are cows
12:55or they're steer.
12:55Yes.
12:56And then there's hay
12:57what look like haystacks on it.
12:58Well I look at it closely
13:00and the haystacks
13:02aren't haystacks
13:03round here.
13:05No.
13:06So
13:06They're Zulu dwellings.
13:08Oh.
13:10Of course.
13:11We did.
13:12Yes.
13:12So this is South African design.
13:15Yes.
13:16I lived in Cape Town
13:17for 20 years
13:19and came back five years ago
13:20so how bizarre
13:21that we've got something
13:22in the family.
13:22Exactly.
13:23And that's what it is
13:25and 19th century
13:27or is this the end
13:28of the 19th century
13:29I think.
13:30The Zulu were herders
13:32by nature.
13:33Cows are their wealth
13:34but these are westerners
13:37herding the cattle
13:38not not
13:39the indigenous people
13:41but it really is
13:43a real pictorial dream.
13:46Mum really loved it
13:47and she had a relative
13:49who was quite involved
13:51with antiques
13:52and he often said
13:54Oh and if you don't want it
13:55I'd like it.
13:56I bet he would.
13:56I would too.
13:57But she wouldn't part with it
13:59obviously.
14:00People collect them
14:01and I think they would pay
14:03something like
14:04between 800
14:06and 1200 pounds
14:08for this.
14:09Wow.
14:10That's what I think.
14:12It's charming.
14:19We are beginning to lose
14:21the soldiers
14:22and sailors
14:23and airmen
14:24and nurses
14:24who were actually there
14:26during the Second World War.
14:28So every time I come across
14:29a person
14:30who was there
14:31at the time
14:32the story always fascinates me.
14:35So who was this man?
14:36This is Sergeant Eric Light.
14:38He's my granddad
14:40and my Auntie Andrew's father
14:42and he in 1940
14:45was called up
14:46and joined the East Yorkshire Regiment
14:47and served for six years
14:49away from Bradford
14:50in North Africa
14:51and Italy
14:51as a fireman.
14:53Returned on two home leaves
14:55the first one to see
14:56my dad being born
14:57and the second
14:58where he wrote in his diary
15:00that he was visiting
15:02Cartwright Hall
15:03and Lister Park.
15:04Where we are.
15:05Where we are today.
15:06Can you read that for us?
15:07I can, yeah.
15:08So this is Sunday
15:09the 11th of November
15:101945.
15:12He writes,
15:13spent the afternoon
15:14at Cartwright Hall
15:15and Lister Park
15:16and the next day
15:17he left from Bradford train station
15:19on the journey
15:20back to Naples.
15:21You know, by his medals
15:22I can tell that
15:23what you're saying
15:24is what he did.
15:25We have a 1939
15:2645 defence medal.
15:29He has an Africa star
15:31with the first army bar
15:32which means that
15:34he was part of
15:34the invasion of Africa
15:36from the western side
15:37going towards Tunisia.
15:40Then he moves to Italy
15:41as you say.
15:43The 1939 45 star
15:45and the 1939 45 war medal.
15:48Did he talk about this stuff?
15:50Do you know?
15:51He loved Italy.
15:52He loved the language.
15:54He learnt Italian.
15:55So he spoke about
15:56his time in Italy.
15:57He didn't particularly
15:58talk about the events
15:59or the fires
16:00that he dealt with
16:01but he was a wordsmith.
16:02He enjoyed telling stories.
16:04He's a good artist
16:05as well, isn't he?
16:06He was an artist
16:07from the beginning
16:07and he documented
16:09quite a lot of his journeys
16:10but this is where
16:11he was billeted
16:13for two years.
16:14This is Jeanne d'Arc
16:15in North Africa
16:16a tent with his uniform
16:18there and his bed.
16:20We're still all
16:21the family have artwork
16:22around the house
16:23that is done.
16:25It is these archives
16:26which are so important
16:27to tell the story
16:29of just ordinary people
16:31just like me and you.
16:32Yeah.
16:33But they stood up
16:35when the time came
16:36they went and did it.
16:38It's been a real honour
16:39to meet him today.
16:40I know you've got
16:40lots more stuff
16:41and for your whole collection
16:43you're looking at
16:44somewhere around
16:45about £500.
16:46OK.
16:47Thank you so much
16:47for bringing it along.
16:48It's a privilege
16:49for us to talk about him.
16:50Thank you.
16:59In 2025
17:01Bradford is celebrating
17:02its status
17:03as City of Culture
17:04with exhibitions
17:05and events
17:06across the city.
17:08But over a century ago
17:09Lister Park
17:10was at the centre
17:11of another cultural event
17:12the Bradford Great Exhibition.
17:17At the time
17:18the land was owned
17:19by Samuel Lister
17:20whose family
17:21made their fortune
17:22from weaving wool
17:23and silk
17:23owning some of the biggest
17:25mills of the day.
17:26Now he was a wealthy
17:27industrialist
17:27and he wanted to give
17:28something back.
17:29So in 1898
17:30he agreed to fund
17:31the building
17:32of a new museum
17:33and art gallery
17:34set in huge green parkland
17:37for the public
17:37to enjoy.
17:43And a few years later
17:45in 1904
17:46Cartwright Hall
17:47with its galleries
17:48filled with artwork
17:49from around the world
17:50opened its doors
17:52to the people
17:52of Bradford.
17:53As part of the opening
18:00a great exhibition
18:01was held as well
18:02spread all across
18:04Lister Park
18:04its aim was to
18:05celebrate Cartwright Hall
18:07but also to showcase
18:08Bradford's trade
18:09and industry.
18:10It had all sorts
18:11of different attractions
18:12aimed at drawing in
18:14visitors from all over
18:15the world.
18:16Musicians and exhibitors
18:18came from all over
18:19to the country.
18:21There were sports events
18:22a fairground
18:24even a huge water shoot
18:26as well as mock
18:27naval battles
18:28on the lake.
18:30The exhibition here
18:31in Bradford
18:32was a huge success
18:33between May and October
18:351904
18:35nearly two and a half
18:37million people came
18:38putting Cartwright Hall
18:40well and truly
18:41on the map.

19:09car boot sales a lot
19:10and that sort of thing
19:12so.

20:08this is copying
20:10a style from
20:11much earlier
20:12there are similar
20:12birds to your
20:13birds in the
20:14Metropolitan Museum
20:15in New York
20:16in the Louvre
20:17in Paris
20:18but they are

20:2313th century
20:23yeah

20:42£600 and
20:43£1,000
20:43wow
20:45really
20:47you're joking
20:47no I'm
20:48watching
20:48I'm pleased
20:54about that
20:54to be honest
20:54I wasn't expecting
20:55it to be worth
20:56anything
20:57I just thought
20:57it's a big metal
20:58bird
20:59and it's quite
21:00pretty
21:00it won't be
21:01going anywhere

21:02stay with me
21:03and the family
21:03for a bit
21:03but yeah
21:05I don't think
21:05I'm certainly
21:07not ready to
21:07part with it
21:08anyway
21:08so
21:08so I'm looking
21:16at a small
21:17doll
21:18under this
21:19dome
21:19but what
21:20interests me
21:21is this
21:21tray
21:22of wonderful
21:24objects
21:24that she's
21:26holding and
21:26showing to the
21:27viewer
21:27did you buy
21:29her
21:29no
21:29she was left
21:30to me by
21:31my great aunt
21:32it was made
21:33by her
21:33grandmother
21:35that puts us
21:36back into the
21:3619th century
21:37the 1890s
21:38I think
21:39so she's been
21:40a family
21:40companion
21:41really
21:41yes
21:42yes
21:42I've known
21:42her all
21:43all my life
21:44and presumably
21:44yes
21:45you have too
21:46yes
21:46she's always been
21:47outside my bedroom
21:48and when my
21:49parents went out
21:50I would sneakily
21:52lift off the dome
21:53and touch
21:54touch
21:55the scissors
21:57were my favourite
21:57so let's talk
22:00about peddler
22:01dolls generally
22:02I mean in the
22:0218th and 19th
22:04centuries
22:04shops were a
22:06long way away
22:06and you would
22:07have travelling
22:08salesmen
22:08often ladies
22:10who had
22:11a big array
22:12of those things
22:14that made
22:14a lady's life
22:16at home
22:16just a bit
22:18more enjoyable
22:18and so
22:20when you look
22:21into this
22:22tray
22:22you've got
22:23pins and
22:23needles and
22:24buttons
22:24there's a
22:25tennis racket
22:26there are
22:27skittles
22:27there's a
22:28little doll
22:28there are
22:29scissors
22:29your favourite
22:30you said
22:31you may have
22:32borrowed them
22:32but you put
22:33them back
22:33again
22:33oh yes
22:34the
22:37older peddler
22:38dolls
22:39often their heads
22:40were made
22:40from apples
22:41dried apples
22:43and so you get
22:44this very kind
22:45of wizened
22:46looking face
22:47but she's
22:48she's got a
22:49wax head
22:49it looks like
22:50and she looks
22:50as if she's
22:51got human
22:51hair on there
22:52not mohair
22:53the doll
22:55market really
22:56has had
22:57massive peaks
22:58and then
22:59a bit of a
23:00slide
23:00so I'm happy
23:01to put a
23:02valuation on
23:03it of between
23:04£1,000 and
23:05£1,200
23:05which I think
23:06is right for
23:07now
23:07but who knows
23:09in the fullness
23:09of time
23:10we could see
23:11another peak
23:12developing

26:31grandma's
26:32and I've got
26:33no idea where
26:34it came from
26:34I can't imagine
26:36that she could
26:36afforded to go
26:37to liberties
26:37and buy it
26:38to be quite
26:38honest

26:40lot of auctions
26:41I always loved
26:42it as a little
26:42child
26:43and growing up

27:07beautiful singing
27:08bird music box

27:16little bit of
27:17tweaking because
27:17it doesn't quite
27:18pop back down

29:22carat

30:02chain as well
30:03it's me

30:05drawer get somebody to
30:06wear it
30:07don't you think
30:08I will
30:08I will
30:09my daughter perhaps
30:10she'll probably sell it
30:11she'll never know
30:12she'd better not
30:13this is a rather
30:36beautiful handworked
30:38textile which is
30:39actually an altar
30:40frontal
30:40can you tell me about
30:42it
30:42so this was designed
30:43by louisa pestle
30:44who was a bradfordian
30:46woman born in 1870
30:48and a bit of a pioneer
30:49she trained at the
30:50national art training
30:51school in london
30:52under lewis foreman day
30:53obviously very well
30:54known arts and crafts
30:55designer
30:56yeah
30:56and she then went
30:57to greece to be a
30:58designer at the royal
30:59hellenic school of
31:00needlework and lace
31:01she traveled all over
31:03egypt
31:03india
31:04she made notes of
31:06all the textile designs
31:07the motifs
31:08the patterns
31:09so she was one of
31:10those group of
31:11sort of pioneer
31:12and victorian ladies
31:13that really was
31:14something there would
31:15have been very few
31:15women that were in a
31:16position to be able to
31:17have done that
31:18there's a great photo of
31:19her on the kyber pass
31:21on the back of a camel
31:22in full edwardian gear
31:24with a hat and
31:25everything and she just
31:26looks amazing
31:26we can only imagine what
31:27that would be like and
31:28this corset is as well
31:30yeah when she came back
31:31to bradford and the first
31:32world war was on she did
31:33a lot of work with the
31:35abraham peele hospital
31:36which was a hospital for
31:37shell shock soldiers
31:38she worked with them as a
31:41form of occupational
31:42therapy really in doing
31:44embroidery work and other
31:45things and they worked on
31:47this the shell shock
31:48soldiers to her design
31:49so this idea of you know
31:51occupational therapy the
31:53hand and the mind being
31:54occupied that it was really
31:55really good for them
31:56the repetitive nature of it
31:58is very kind of soothing
31:59really for people suffering
32:01from you know post-traumatic
32:02stress
32:02it's very interesting that she
32:04went to the royal
32:05hellenistic school of
32:06needlework in greece
32:07because i think we can see
32:09that influence here
32:10definitely in the stitch
32:11work
32:11and because we've got this
32:13sort of meandering design
32:14and then these sort of
32:15these little flower heads
32:17and this is all worked in
32:18cross stitch
32:19if you look at the
32:19stitches they look they
32:20don't really appear to
32:22have been done by
32:23different people so perhaps
32:24she was a very exacting
32:25sort of mistress
32:26i imagine she was because
32:28she was an expert in her
32:29field
32:29it's an absolute pleasure
32:30to see it
32:31we need to mention price
32:33um generally speaking you
32:34can buy all to frontals
32:36from this sort of period
32:37when they do come up at
32:38auction it would probably
32:39only be something like
32:40three to four hundred
32:41pounds
32:41but obviously its home is
32:43Bradford and it's still
32:44in Bradford
32:44and that's where it's
32:45going to remain
32:46i mean to us it's
32:46priceless so thank you
32:48very much
32:48exactly
32:49thank you
32:49you've brought me here
32:59a brooch
33:00and a ring
33:02i'm going to start with
33:04the brooch first
33:05and it's lovely to see
33:07the three leaf clover
33:08design here
33:09how did you find this
33:10it belonged to my
33:11grandmother
33:12my father gave it to me
33:13about 15 years ago
33:15because i kept wearing
33:17it he said rather than
33:18storing it all the time
33:19he gave it to me

33:28my granny was very
33:29very proud of it
33:31and was also worried
33:32about losing it

33:36her life

33:41everywhere
33:42oh my goodness
33:45yeah
33:46well this is dated
33:47about 1880
33:49right
33:50and it is silver
33:52and gold
33:52there's no maker's mark
33:54and that's quite
33:55usual
33:56for
33:57jewels of this period
33:59but it looks
34:00English to me
34:01all set with cushion
34:03shaped diamonds
34:04and rose cut diamonds
34:06and then you also
34:08have this ring
34:09and tell me the story
34:11about this ring
34:12the family legend
34:13is
34:14that my
34:15great grandfather
34:16accepted it
34:17in settlement
34:17of a gambling debt
34:18in Monte Carlo
34:19in Monte Carlo
34:20yes
34:21oh my gosh
34:22I wonder how much
34:24the debt was
34:25it'd be interesting
34:26wouldn't it
34:26it would
34:27it'd be lovely to know
34:28but unfortunately
34:29he spent
34:30the family fortune
34:32oh did he
34:33and by the time
34:34my grandfather
34:35came back
34:35from the first world war
34:37my great grandfather
34:38passed away
34:39and there was no money left
34:41apart from the ring
34:42well it's 18 carat gold
34:45and these are
34:46cushion shaped diamonds
34:47again the diamonds
34:48were cut in about
34:491880
34:50right
34:50and I think they're set
34:51in a slightly
34:52later mount
34:53so
34:55I mean
34:56at auction

34:58at about
34:583,000 pounds
35:00and
35:01for this one here
35:02you'd be looking
35:03in the region

39:00maybe your family's
39:00in the Bellevue Archive

39:02there's clearly
39:02thousands of pictures
39:03to go through
39:04from what Hamza says
39:05but you never know
39:06what you'll find
39:06so on this beautiful
39:17sunny day at Lister Park
39:19when the gardens
39:19are in full bloom
39:20and the flowers
39:21are all out
39:22you've brought along
39:23this beautifully
39:23florally painted tea set
39:25are you a collector
39:27no not at all
39:28this was my mother's
39:30she was very poorly
39:32as a small child
39:34she was confined to bed
39:36for months
39:36she had yellow jaundice
39:38I think
39:38and her father
39:40my grandfather
39:41bought her this
39:42to cheer her up
39:43I can think of nothing
39:44that would cheer me up
39:45more if I was poorly
39:46than getting a cup of tea
39:47and my breakfast served
39:48to me from a service
39:49like this
39:50with toast from
39:51this little toast rack
39:52and even this wonderful
39:54warming dish
39:55so that your breakfast
39:56comes to the table warm
39:57and you just remove
39:59this stopper
39:59fill the base of the dish
40:01with hot water
40:02and it keeps the breakfast
40:04toasty and warm
40:05yep
40:05the service
40:06is by Clarice Cliff
40:08an iconic designer
40:10in Britain in the 1920s
40:12and the 30s
40:13and the shape of this teapot
40:15is known as the bonjour shape
40:17with this round design
40:18and the very distinctive
40:19round finial handle
40:20even on the little circular feet
40:23these pieces are a bit later
40:25in Clarice Cliff's design career
40:27her heyday was really
40:28the late 1920s
40:30to the mid 1930s
40:31I would think these are
40:33sort of late 1930s in date
40:35and you can see
40:36the slight change in style
40:38where she's used this more
40:39sort of floral
40:40feminine decoration
40:42rather than the bold
40:43iconic art deco designs
40:45with very strong colours
40:46I'm sure it's something
40:47you would never want to sell
40:49but of course
40:49it does have a value
40:51my thoughts are that
40:53being a slightly later
40:54Clarice Cliff design
40:55slightly removed from
40:57the more iconic
40:58art deco period
40:59I think it's worth
41:01in the region of
41:01£200-£300 for this group
41:03well thank you very much
41:05that's absolutely lovely
41:06I won't be selling it
41:07and hopefully it can
41:08go on to generations
41:09you know still to come
41:11we've got Mae West's name
41:23spelt out in her own hair
41:25where on earth
41:27did this come from?
41:28we're not 100% sure
41:30of its original provenance
41:31it was a gift to the family
41:34on my dad's side
41:35a wedding gift
41:36and it's just been sat
41:38in my dad's downstairs toilet
41:39for about 10 years
41:40I think it's a talking point
41:44for parties
41:44that sort of thing
41:45it is that
41:46I mean she's one of
41:47the legends of film
41:48I mean in the 1930s
41:51she was
41:51the big box office drawer
41:53and obviously
41:55she's done an official opening
41:57we have the Rishi Salons
42:00for hair and beauty culture
42:01were officially opened by
42:02Mae West
42:04and I mean I don't know much
42:05about women's hair
42:06I'll be honest
42:07but it almost looks like
42:09little sort of extensions
42:10they're beautifully tied
42:12but underneath
42:14and I think this is the name
42:16of the hairdresser
42:17but we can't make it out
42:18most lovely beauty salon
42:21every success
42:23something something
42:24Mae West
42:26and that almost definitely
42:28is her signature
42:29brilliant
42:29yeah
42:30March the 11th
42:331948
42:33she was ahead of her times
42:36you know
42:36she said what she thought
42:38and some of the things
42:40were quite risque
42:41she's famous for the line
42:43is that a pistol in your pocket
42:45or are you just pleased
42:47to see me
42:48she said censorship
42:50I like censorship
42:51I've made a fortune from it
42:53we've got to put a value
42:56on this
42:56you know
42:57I've got to
42:57yeah unique thing
42:59I mean her signature alone
43:02is fairly sought after
43:04I think if it went in an auction
43:06it would do probably
43:08a thousand to fifteen hundred pounds
43:09I think it'll hang around
43:11in the family though
43:12do you know
43:13yeah it's so strange
43:15one of the most bizarre things
43:17I've ever seen
43:17don't forget
43:21I'm off the simmers
43:21with her
43:22I've been waiting for one of these
43:31to come in for a long time

45:46£400 to £600
45:48lovely
45:49beautiful thing
45:52I think this is the most wonderful
46:08enigmatic
46:09beautiful photographic image
46:11can you tell me a little bit
46:12about it please
46:13it's a snapshot
46:14that was taken by my grandfather
46:16in 1931
46:17he entered a worldwide competition
46:19run by Eastman Kodak
46:21to find the world's best snapshot
46:23using the first introduction
46:25of the Velochrome film
46:27this is my granny here
46:29they were engaged
46:30and went on holiday
46:31to Brad Ahead
46:32on the Isle of Man
46:33he entered it in the competition
46:36and it won
46:37the final was in Geneva
46:39and Eastman Kodak
46:40was a really famous company
46:42a big company at the time
46:43founded by George Eastman
46:44in 1888
46:45he made photography available
46:48to the masses
46:48these vest pocket
46:51in inverted commas
46:52folding bellows cameras
46:54made it affordable
46:55and they made it portable
46:57and your great-grandfather
46:58was obviously one of those people
47:00there he is
47:01takes your grandmother out
47:03indeed
47:03takes this wonderful photograph
47:05of her
47:05enters this competition
47:07and won it
47:09he won the amazing amount
47:10of £4,400
47:12it equates to £235,000
47:15they got married
47:16and he bought his first house
47:17their first house with that
47:19and the family were very
47:20very excited
47:21well it would have been
47:22huge excitement all over
47:23because he would have been
47:24pretty famous in fact
47:25because that would have been
47:26obviously published in
47:27you know the Eastman Kodak
47:29magazine thing
47:30that's right
47:30which was a massive
47:31worldwide seller
47:32of a magazine as well
47:34on the table here
47:35we have this beautiful
47:36silver trophy
47:37which of course
47:39is representative of photography
47:41by the lens
47:42the lens
47:42that's right
47:43in the top here
47:43that is stunningly beautiful
47:46but I'm going to have to
47:48kind of try and put a value
47:49on this
47:49and it's a bit of an odd one
47:50really
47:51I'm kind of minded
47:52to give it a global valuation
47:53but then individually
47:55looking at some of the pieces
47:56it's a kind of different
47:57thing in my head
47:58so to speak
47:59so this beautiful
48:00art deco trophy
48:02is wonderful
48:03and it's worth
48:04£2,000 or £3,000
48:05which is pretty amazing
48:08the camera
48:09to be honest with you
48:10if that were completely
48:11disconnected from this story
48:13and were just a Kodak
48:14pocket vest camera
48:15it's worth £50 to £100
48:17because they made
48:19so many of them
48:20the image itself
48:21stunning image
48:22I really really love this
48:24but in reality
48:24it's worth
48:25a few hundred pounds
48:26we've got a couple
48:28of medallions
48:30that were awarded
48:31to him also
48:31we've got a bronze one
48:33here
48:33but this one
48:34did you see that
48:35I nipped off
48:36just before we started
48:36filming
48:37I did
48:37I did
48:37well I nipped off
48:38to weigh this medal
48:39because I don't know
48:41whether you know
48:41but this is an
48:4218 carat gold medal
48:43oh gosh
48:44right
48:44and its scrap value
48:46alone is £7,000
48:48that's amazing
48:49I see why he ran off
48:50I'm glad you came back
48:52I did come back with it
48:54so
48:55I think that
48:56what you have here
48:57one of my favourite
48:59stories of the day
48:59at £12,000 to £18,000
49:01that's very good
49:02isn't it
49:03yeah
49:03thank you so much
49:04for coming
49:04today
49:05thank you
49:06we've always been proud
49:11of him
49:12I think that
49:13people could
49:14look more
49:15at what skills
49:16and talents
49:17they've got
49:18there's more
49:18there outside
49:19if they only
49:20would try things
49:21because he was
49:21just a normal guy
49:22working as a draftsman
49:23and he tapped
49:24into the talents
49:25that he had
49:25the sun is shining
49:39two beautiful jewels
49:40sparkling away
49:41how did you get them
49:42well
49:43these belong to my
49:44grandmother
49:45who was born in 1900
49:47in Donegal
49:48in very rural Ireland
49:50and I always remembered
49:52this watch on my
49:53grandmother's wrist
49:54as a little child
49:55growing up
49:56I can never remember her
49:57with any other type
49:58of watch on her wrist
49:59she went to Trinity College
50:01in Dublin
50:02to study
50:03as a young woman
50:04at the age of 25
50:06in 1925
50:07she travelled
50:08from Ireland
50:09to New York
50:11gosh
50:11where she would have
50:12travelled on her own
50:13she would have sailed
50:14as a 25 year old woman
50:15of course
50:15and to know that
50:16she was such a confident lady
50:18it's no wonder
50:19that she chose
50:20some really pretty
50:21pieces of jewellery
50:22more than likely
50:23in New York
50:24because the style
50:25of both of the pieces
50:26is very American
50:27they have a lovely way
50:29of producing
50:30what we could call
50:31this sort of
50:32filigree pierced
50:33metal work
50:34in this bracelet
50:35in particular
50:36there's another mark
50:38that denotes
50:39that it's not
50:39a European piece
50:40because it's marked
50:4110k
50:42which is for
50:4310 carat white gold
50:44which again
50:44is something
50:45very typical
50:46of American jewellery
50:47at the time
50:48in the centre here
50:49you've got a lovely
50:50little diamond
50:51sparkling away
50:52and either side
50:53the two green stones
50:55are actually
50:55synthetic emeralds
50:56they're not natural emeralds
50:58I bet she was drawn
50:59to the green
51:00for Emerald Isle
51:01of course
51:02no doubt
51:03and it was very popular
51:04again to use
51:05synthetic stones
51:06at this stage
51:07because to cut stones
51:09this size
51:10and of that shape
51:10would have been
51:11very expensive
51:12but all in all
51:13a beautiful
51:14elegant piece of jewellery
51:16and she sounds
51:17as though she was
51:17a very elegant lady
51:18as well
51:19and particularly
51:20if she wore this watch
51:21all the time
51:22that is a level
51:23of sophistication
51:24I have to say
51:25to be wearing
51:26a beautiful cocktail watch
51:27as we can see here
51:28she ended up also
51:29a pig farmer's wife
51:30so I'm guessing
51:31she didn't wear those
51:32slopping out the pigs
51:33now we have
51:36a watch
51:36which we would class
51:37as a costume watch
51:39because it's actually
51:41a metal
51:42that has been
51:43rhodium plated
51:44so it's not
51:45a precious metal strap
51:46and also
51:47the green stones here
51:49these are actually glass
51:50so that fits in again
51:52with this whole idea
51:53of costume
51:54dress jewellery
51:55which again
51:56was rising in popularity
51:57in the 1920s
51:59I mean even Chanel
52:00would mix up
52:01her costume jewellery
52:02and her precious gem jewellery
52:03and try and
52:04trick her friends
52:06and say
52:06which do you think
52:07is real
52:07and which is fake
52:08and they often
52:09got it wrong
52:09but that was how good
52:11the quality was
52:12on both of them
52:13you know
52:13we're looking at
52:14you know
52:15a reasonable value
52:16maybe 50
52:1760 pounds
52:18and then with the bracelet
52:20because it is that
52:2010 carat gold
52:21as opposed to
52:2214 15 or 18
52:24and that keeps the value down
52:25at auction
52:26I'd expect that to fetch
52:27between 500 and 700 pounds
52:29so collectively
52:31in the region of
52:32600 pounds
52:33for the two pieces
52:34but as we have seen
52:36it is the story
52:37that counts in the
52:38elegance of your grandmother
52:39that's right
52:40thank you very much
52:41my pleasure
52:41thank you
52:42thank you
52:42two Indian albums
52:51dated
52:52around the start
52:54of the 1800s
52:55so 1810 to 1820
52:57are many of them
52:58how did these
52:59come into your possession
53:00my mother got them
53:02in a second hand market
53:04in Dublin
53:04okay
53:05and do you remember
53:06how much she paid for them
53:07possibly
53:09maybe five pounds
53:11for the pair
53:11okay so we have
53:13two albums
53:14and the school of painting
53:16is called
53:17company school
53:18meaning
53:19East India Company
53:20started in 1600
53:22and went on well
53:24into the
53:25late 1800s
53:26let's face it
53:28they were there
53:28to extract
53:30money and resources
53:31from India
53:31there are some
53:34small mercies
53:35and human stories
53:37that come out of it
53:38so you have this
53:39beautiful new school
53:41of painting
53:41which is a mix
53:42of Indian
53:43and European
53:44and you see some
53:45beautiful examples
53:46in these albums
53:48this one
53:50it shows Indian life
53:52you see the tradesman
53:54working away
53:55in the background
53:56maybe a subject matter
53:58that was avoided
53:59in traditional
54:00Indian miniature painting
54:02or Mughal
54:02miniature painting
54:04you see some
54:05real Indian life
54:05which is what
54:06the Europeans
54:07were interested in
54:08so this book
54:09was made for
54:10the Europeans
54:11exactly
54:12exactly
54:13that's so interesting
54:14these are the
54:15Polaroids
54:16of early India
54:17and the centre
54:18of this picture
54:19is the abhorrent
54:21act of Sati
54:23and Sati
54:25is when
54:26the husband dies
54:28the woman
54:29put herself
54:30on the funeral pyre
54:31and commits suicide
54:32it was banned
54:34by the Mughal emperors
54:36and later made illegal
54:37by the British
54:39in the mid 1800s
54:40so this painting here
54:42it's great
54:44that we've got
54:44such an early date
54:451780
54:46and this album
54:49is just
54:50stuffed with
54:52wonderful examples
54:54of this mix
54:56of Indian
54:57and European work
54:58a seapoy
55:00so a local
55:00soldier
55:01isn't that beautiful
55:05extraordinary
55:06it's very European
55:07it's like a
55:08biblical tale
55:09it's really startling
55:10absolutely
55:11well they are
55:12very collectible
55:12each piece
55:15a slight variance
55:16in quality
55:17the seapoy
55:19for example
55:19on its own
55:21a thousand pounds
55:22oh
55:23wow
55:25each page
55:27each page
55:27that's just the seapoy
55:29that's extraordinary
55:30oh my god
55:31that's your starting point
55:33the Sati burning
55:34six to eight thousand pounds
55:36for the book
55:37or
55:37each
55:38for that page
55:40that's the Sati burning
55:42six to eight thousand pounds
55:44so to try and put
55:46an overall figure
55:48on both albums
55:49minimum
55:50twenty two thousand pounds
55:53wow
55:54that's amazing
55:55if you ever decided
55:56to sell them
55:56I don't think

56:42after dinner or parlour game
