Transcript

00:00behind the wheel of a classic car here we go and a goal to scar britain for antiques

00:06the aim to make the biggest profit at auction but it's no mean feat there'll be worthy winners

00:12i can't stop smiling and valiant losers right i retire will it be the high road to glory oh

00:18look at that for the slow road to disaster oh oh dear this is antiques road trip

00:26welcome to another antiques gallivant

00:38now we are in the company of greatness i've got the body of the god

00:48hey enough said it's the fourth leg with snazzy auctioneers

00:52phil serrell and tamina gaffar and their 1959 ford popular

01:00so i want to know would you describe me as antique

01:04mid-century or vintage careful i i'm describing this timeless i know what i'd say last time

01:13tamina found an unusual way to deal with phil to drive out demons this would be driven into the

01:20ground and found something squeaky while phil was wowed 1950s julie baker look at that and broke the

01:31mold this is going to dispel the myth that philip serrell buys big lumpy rusting stuff but at the

01:38auction this is halfway point phil's big lumpy rusty stuff came good selling at 65 i thought it might go

01:46sour on giving phil the second auction triumph so next auction what are you going to buy it all with

01:59me i think i might just go completely out of my comfort zone see if there are any like

02:06bits of wood or metal you know the phil serrell tactics yeah yeah yeah good luck

02:12this tour kicked off in liverpool and had a good old romp around yorkshire and the midlands

02:20we'll then pop into oxfordshire before ending in cornwall

02:25winner winner chicken dinner okay phil stop rubbing it in for this adventure our revved up road trippers

02:31will shop all the way to sarancestor in gloucestershire having dropped off his chum

02:37we kick off with philip in the oxfordshire village of wardington here he comes to scar this lovely

02:45establishment banbury antique center is a one-stop shop for any snooping antiquer with a replenished

02:54budget of 200 smackers let the hunt begin yeah see i just love stuff like this this is a great bit of

03:03social history what do you reckon that is so when you're in the army and you got cussed by your

03:08sergeant major because your tunic wasn't up to scratch you would use this to polish the brass

03:13buttons on your tunic just like this look i wondered where my jacket had gone you put that in there

03:21get your cleaner out polish your brass buttons and this would stop the cleaner going all over your tunic

03:28i mean that's the mother of invention isn't it i mean it's also 20 quid which probably isn't dear but

03:33you know what i don't think i'm going to make a profit at auction with that keep looking philip

03:38lovely but can i have my jacket back thank you

03:44oh look at that so this is a chad valley bagatelle board and how do i know that because it says here

03:52chad valley bagatelle oh sharp as a tack are several eh so do you know what this is incredibly aging because

03:59i can remember things like this when i was a kid i know hard to believe but what you do look you pull

04:05this little spring back and it fires the little ball bearings oh i've got 150 hold on i have another go

04:11at this so this is me done i'm here for hours with this

04:15if in doubt cheat philip chad valley was one of the uk's leading toy manufacturers for most of the

04:2620th century and received a royal warrant in 1938 don't you know and the great thing about this is

04:33it's got the original box if you're into games and toys the original box is always a bit of a bonus

04:37there's no price tag on it but i like that so that for me is a definite possibility it's taking part that

04:44is important in this it's also all about the winning yep now let's find tamina she's a little

04:53further south in the town of bista robinson's antiques is one of the emporiums located here

05:01oh oh i think it's in the back over there plunder a plenty eh 200 pounds in tamina's purse let's see

05:09what she can spend it on now you often see lots of rounded buddha figures but this representation of

05:23buddha that's most synonymous with buddhism is actually not the original buddha who was said to

05:30have been around from the fourth fifth century bc that buddha was what's called siddhartha gutama

05:36and this example of buddha is a later representation which is more synonymous with chinese buddhism

05:43and it's a figure called buddha also known as the laughing buddha sometimes the fat buddha

05:48was um more prevalent in the 10th century there are lots of lovely decorative figures here but i'm

05:54not sure that they're going to be what i need at auction today very interesting though what else can we

06:02find this is a really lovely mid-century unit i think it's by brand called nathan these were

06:10designed to be used you still have the grooves to open the cabinet doors and it's just so well

06:17considered when they were making these i don't think they did so expecting them to last quite as

06:22long but that consideration is just something we don't see in modern furniture nowadays and the magnet

06:29mechanism still works the hinges are good it's in very nice condition nathan were the epitome of

06:36mid-century furniture offering affordable pieces they followed the trend of scandinavian design

06:43i call this mid-century and whilst you might think you know that's specifically the 1950s

06:49the term mid-century has become more synonymous with this particular style

06:54and so it could be from the 50s or 60s maybe even the 1970s but this is quintessential mid-century

07:03furniture it's an unusual bit of furniture we don't see many sort of modern corner units someone still

07:08has quarters but it's not so large and obtrusive that people couldn't have it in their homes now i've

07:15got a sticker here and that says 45 pounds no you can't really get many bits of furniture 45 pounds

07:22nowadays let alone something with such lovely history i'd love to take this to auction and see

07:27how it does that's one for the shopping list then back to phil in wardington

07:36i'm gonna try and be clever here oh not again i just want to try and buy a range of different things

07:41and this is absolutely lovely look this is hallmark silver in the shape of a clamshell and it's a little

07:48butter dish and it's got the little butter knife with it reed and sons were founded in newcastle

07:53in 1788 and are still on the go today and it's got this lovely little box and these three look at

08:01those lovely little ball feet i mean i wouldn't think this has ever been used do you know phil i think

08:06you're absolutely right often these things were given as wedding presents and the presentation cases

08:12both protect and preserve perfectly so it's all on the tag here look it's hallmark silver 1926 now

08:20that's priced at 55 pounds that's going to make 30 to 40 pounds at auction so i'm going to be trying

08:26to buy it for around the 25 pound mark which is a big ask but you know what they say if you don't ask

08:33you don't get very true sounds like a hot contender to me let's knit back to bister

08:45i'm not sure what it is about this i suppose trinket dish captured my interest that's quite a

08:51weighty object now i mean the tray is actually the figure's dress and it's got this almost ginkgo leaf

08:59shape to it which is really attractive the ginkgo leaf was a popular our nouveau motif the flowing fan

09:06shape was considered acceptably organic stylistically i guess it would be sort of early 20th century

09:14now what could someone use this for today well it's a lovely trinket dish it could hold all manner

09:20of small objects but it's also a very decorative thing now let's have a look here it's priced at 45

09:26pounds oh gosh i wonder if there's a little bit of movement on that price i think someone else might

09:33find this as attractive as i do and it might do okay at auction right let's chat to the man in charge

09:40look out ian hi hi tamina now i've found two lovely things i've got this and there's a mid-century

09:50corner cabinet do you have any movement on those i'm sure i can do something for you yeah the corner unit

09:55we could do 35 okay lovely yeah now this one is the one where well the most you could move please

10:03sure it's the one i'm most unsure about at auction as it's you 25 pounds that would be amazing thank you

10:11so 35 and 25 that's 60 pounds wow good thank you very much thank you thank you ian you are most kind

10:20tamina now has 140 pounds left we'll get a courier to take the corner unit to auction while we waltz to

10:29wardington

10:37ceramic vase

10:40glass vase i love it just like that oh that's interesting look at that

10:45so it says here it's a meiji vase with champlevé enamel on bronze so it's a bronze vase meiji period

10:54is japanese i don't know the exact dates but it's somewhere like 1890 through to about 1910 1915.

11:01close enough phil so this is a bronze vase i actually don't think it's japanese i think it's probably more

11:07likely chinese champlevé is another term for this enamel band around here sean lever in french means

11:14flat field so when you rub your finger over the enamel it is perfectly flat and smooth date's about

11:20right it's back end of the 19th century in my book any price it's priced at 30 pounds so there's a bit of

11:27damage here you know and that clearly isn't going to help it it's got a look hasn't it yeah come on let's

11:33have a go with that he's also got designs on the unpriced bagatelle game and the butter dish for 55.

11:41stand by peter how are you i'm very well sir yourself yeah i've enjoyed coming here you have

11:48some lovely lovely things that's pretty kind brace yourself phil's got a figure in mind for all three

11:54what about 50 quid look okay i would settle at 65. can i do your 55 and that's going to hopefully show

12:02me a profit at auction well let me just 50 and five i'll take me pot i'll shake your hand first thank

12:09you pleasure yeah i've enjoyed it i'll i'll take me pot and i'll go and pick me other two bits up peter

12:15you are a very very kind man that breaks down to 15 for the bagatelle 25 for the silver butter dish

12:23and 15 for the vase leaving phil with 145 pounds well done together again our chums are back in the

12:33mighty motor glorious countryside isn't it lovely do you know the majority of the floor in this country

12:42it's foreign yeah most of it came over during the grand tours and colonial expeditions you are a

12:51veritable mine of information like it she sure is our jolly twosome have made it to the oxfordshire

12:59village of hook norton here in the beautiful cotswold hills lies a magical portal into britain's brewing

13:08heritage embodying the spirit of victorian ingenuity hook norton brewery is 176 years old

13:18a sixth generation family business phil and tamina are meeting with managing director james clark

13:24a brewing guru so james has it always been in your family yes i'm very lucky it was my great great

13:31grandfather who moved here as a young man uh initially as a farmer growing barley and malting it

13:36selling it to other local breweries dating from 1849 the site was purchased as a 52 acre farm

13:43and included a malt house the first brew was recorded in november 1856 as triple x mild scrummy

13:53james this is just fantastic isn't it it is yes yeah that the steam engine is the heartbeat of the brewery

13:59although we don't use it every day but it's still very much in working order installed in 1899 it's

14:04believed to be the last steam engine in the country still serving its original purpose an important

14:11survivor from our industrial past it was typical of a victorian building of the time where you had a

14:17central source of motive power and then you distributed that power throughout the building

14:21through a series of belts and line shafting so this is a power source effectively yeah for the whole

14:27building the whole brewery um and it drove the malt mill it drove the mixes on the mash turn it drove

14:32water pumps it drove work pumps it drove a goods lift and a sack hoist this is just brilliant i mean

14:38i love all of this i think i can guess phil's next question can i please hear it running ah a 25

14:46horsepower engine it's easy to see why this was once the powerhouse of the brewery oh look at that

14:54that is brilliant do you know you're right phil this is a testament to victorian ingenuity

15:04and inventiveness are you going to show me some of the process now yeah let's turn this off and go

15:09and have a look around don't turn it off yet while phil revels in and amongst the antique engineering

15:17outside there's another source of horsepower with roots back to the brewery's early days hook norton

15:24has three working shire horses head coachman nick carter is on hand to tell us about these mighty

15:31creatures hello and who's this uh this is balmoral hi so he's one of our six-year-old shire horses that

15:40we've got working for us here we're one of two breweries left in the country that still use these as

15:45working delivering horses which we're very proud of we've had horses on site since 1849 from the very

15:51start and in our peak we had 32 horses here shire horses pulling a beer wagon or dray were once a

15:58familiar sight in brewery towns but these mighty beasts also had an earlier role as war horses and

16:06were a favorite of a certain tudor monarch well originally they actually started out as henry the

16:11eight jousting horses they were designed to carry knights in armor uh into battle because they needed

16:18to be strong they needed to be sturdy to carry the weight of a man in armor and as well if you had one

16:23of these charging down at you you'd soon get out the way at the beginning of the 20th century there were

16:28a million shower horses working the land in britain due to mechanization today there are less than 230.

16:37how sad so the tractor came along and that was their demise really but what we're really fortunate

16:43with now is that people are seeing a resurgence of these that actually they're really nimble riding

16:48horses and they've got a great future in the ridden sphere so hopefully numbers will start rising from

16:54there up we very much hope so back to serral paradise within the five floors of the brewery

17:02handcrafted beers go through a ten stage process phil's heading to the fermentation room for stage

17:09eight what's that this is a saccharometer and we're going to use this to measure how much sugar we've

17:14got this is some hooky gold that we brew today and it's had the yeast added so we just want to make

17:19sure we've got the sugar content right for the fermentation it's not beer yet because it's not

17:23alcoholic so beer not alcoholic not yet not for another week we're doing well we're gonna make it

17:28alcoholic oh good excellent yeah phil calm your jets after a week the sugars from the malt will

17:34be converted into alcohol by the yeast if you want a taster i'm your man i will add you to the list hoppy

17:42days before we leave one last treat the shires will deliver within a four mile radius and thankfully

17:50lead a gentler life than their ancestors of yesteryear

17:54the brewery honors its heritage by including the shires as essential members of the delivery team

18:01thank you balmoral and brigadier before we giddy up phil has an important question

18:08what do you reckon then car or horse horse horse power come on off you go

18:14from big gentle beasts to a noisy one how about some more phil musings it's all a game

18:27we're actually a game though all the game hmm was that it nighty night

18:32rise and shine phil i've noticed you're a bit of a style icon why not a style icon well you're quite

18:42known for your voyage for goods well that too of course but also your your scarves i love them

18:51i love my scarves i love my scarves are they holding me together blimey i hope not

19:00yesterday our man was buying for britain collecting a bagatelle game a silver butter

19:06dish and knife and a chinese vase well that's interesting look at that leaving phil with 145

19:14macaroonies tamina scooped up a beloved mid-century corner unit and an arnouveau trinket dish

19:23i think someone else might find this as attractive as i do tamina has 140 pounds remaining

19:31now we're all about the zen sometimes i don't even think it's about winning

19:36well the journey's the thing isn't it pull the other one you two tamina has been dropped off by

19:44her chum in the village of bampton isn't it lovely not only is it featured in the hit tv

19:52series downton abbey it's also home to a thriving brigade of morris dancers and this lovely establishment

20:00arthur's attic a bevy of antiques bounty awaits now let's take a swoosh around and get the goodie

20:07detector onto maximum power

20:12tamina has a kitty of 140 pounds let the big nosy begin

20:21the nice depiction of vishnu protector of the universe i don't think it's a temple ornament

20:29because it doesn't have a hollow base as you would expect of the more antique pieces that

20:36were kept in temples so this would have been more likely a decorative piece to be in a domestic

20:42setting now i don't think it actually has very much age even though it's rendered in a very sort of

20:48antiquated style and so i don't think it's going to achieve the prices that an older version would

20:54at auction so not for me but a nice thing indeed let's keep exploring

21:04i just really like this sugar scuttle that's because they were named after coal scuttles and

21:12this bit here just like lumps of coal would be held is meant to hold sugar cubes or sugar lumps it's just a

21:19really nice like decorative table piece i guess when you've got guests over it would be a quirky

21:25thing to have and to talk about anything mapping and web it's so well made a 19th century invention

21:32these were popular around the time of the great exhibition in 1851 when novelty was a big seller

21:39priced at 45 pounds so it's not solid silver it's silver plate it says here it's prince's plate now that's

21:47a map and web method of triple coating silver plates so it's slightly higher quality than sort of

21:53standardized silver plate and it's complete i would imagine that lots of these end up just like that

21:59without the scoop attachment because they can come off so often they would i think if i can get it down

22:06to the right price this would be attractive and interesting enough at auction to possibly make a profit

22:12for me while tamina snuffles further let's find phil currently thinking of his tongue i'm a great

22:19lover of homemade jam homemade soup homemade chutney brilliant stuff the world's a better place for

22:27knowing that foodie phil has gone southwest to royal wooden bassett here comes our antiques gourmand

22:35hungry for some tasty deals old bank antiques is the place for cereal on the go since 2015 this lovely

22:43emporium is festooned with a plethora of fancy goods yes the resemblance phil is uncanny phil has 145 pounds

22:54it's a lovely little more clean egg cup um i think that was quite sweet apparently um the other night

23:03there was a burglary and whoever it was left half a dozen eggs and a saucepan of boiling water

23:10the police think it was poachers he cracks me up that man

23:14so this would probably be edwardian it's an oak letter box but i love the social history behind

23:22this because in a large country house this would have sat on a table in the hall you would write

23:27your letter you bring the envelope down and you pop it on there which would have been a tray

23:33in the hall and then the butler or the footman would have come down at the end of the day

23:37and would have taken these off to the post for you i mean i think that's absolutely lovely

23:42and if that's like 30 40 pounds i'm gonna snap his hand off crikey right that's 195 pounds walk on

23:51philip while phil keeps on delving let's bounce back to bampton

24:03hmm what's this

24:04this looks like well i guess a braille typewriter braille was invented in the 1800s in france and

24:16it was a pivotal language for the visually impaired louis braille lost his sight due to a childhood

24:23accident this led him to create a tactile writing system using raised dots it was first introduced in

24:311824. i think that something like this could work independently with a sheet now there's a bell here

24:38as well i suppose like a standardized typewriter to tell you when you're nearing the end of the page

24:45i think that's a really lovely thing you know it's priced at 45 pounds and i think someone who does have

24:52an interest in typography or inventions from that period would maybe find this as interesting as i do

25:03along with the silver plated sugar scuttle at 45 let's pop off and see this lovely lady in the pink

25:10lynn hi oh hi tenina i've managed to finally select some things i've got the sugar scuttle yes and this

25:19really unusual brailler well they're two different dealers okay um but i think the gentleman would be

25:25quite happy at 38 on that one okay lovely and on the rail 35 that works yeah so that's 73 pounds

25:34that's right okay 70. wonderful three pounds thanks very much that's wonderful thank you lynn you are

25:42lovely tamina now has 67 pounds remaining guess what i'm missing phil royal wootton bassett beckons

25:58let me just tell you there is no similarity here at all of course not he's got a mustache

26:03look at that now that looks like a stick doesn't it well let me tell you this has a purpose and a use

26:17it's early to mid 19th century and it's a sail or a rope makers fid or marlin spike and what you would

26:26do is you would bodge that's a technical term by the way you bodge this in between the splicing of the

26:32rope and as you push that in it actually it would open the strands and let you work it and i think

26:38that's absolutely lovely a fid was an essential bit of kit for a 19th century sailor splicing in fact it

26:46was used throughout the age of sail from the 16th century for 300 years it's easy to think it could

26:52have been something else like my granddad he was a small holding farmer and he had a thing called a

26:57dibber i don't know that's a local term or not and with his dibber he'd make a hole in the ground

27:02and he planted seeds in there a dibber now that is not definitely 100 not a dibber it's a fid or a

27:09marling spike this is priced at 60 pounds but for me it's a real plain jane this i think at auction

27:16that's going to be 25 35 pounds worth so i've got to see if the dealer bought it right and if he did

27:21see if i can do a deal with him but isn't that just lovely indeed it is stand by steve i feel a

27:28deal coming on steve how you doing all right phil you've got a great shop thank you very much i love

27:34that little fid quick look at the ticket absolutely remind myself as it's you phil i can do 20. i'll

27:41tell you what thank you very much indeed let me give you some money quickly there we go thank you

27:44phil thank you very much indeed yeah take care thank you good luck with it steve you are most generous

27:49thank you very very much phil now has 125 pounds

27:57now where's our other shopper head off to our gal has made it to the sunny town of sarincester

28:05dubbed the capital of the cotswolds the home of the thatch cottage was once the second largest town

28:12in roman britain we're bound for sarincester antique center housed in a 16th century

28:19timber frame building there are two floors with over 80 dealers jamming the shelves with goodies

28:26lovely well the center is enormous it just keeps on going tamina has 67 pounds gosh phil would love

28:35all of this look at this it's a wheel it's heavy and industrial he'd make that into a coffee table

28:46well this is quite beautiful it's a inlaid side table it's from liberty's 19th century this has a nice

28:56bit of arabic inscription on the top there was a real fashion in the 19th century for moorish

29:03architecture reminiscent of the islamic empire that stretched all the way to spain so right up to

29:08cordoba where you can still see mosque architecture now they have gothic cathedrals inside the same mosques

29:17that still exist there this particular table has really nice spindles here reminiscent of wooden syrian

29:26levant architecture that you would have seen on buildings and window frames it was 295 and it's

29:33been marked down to 175 pounds which is still so much out of my budget but what a beautiful thing it is

29:41lovely now look out there's the cyril phil's in a rush because guess what he's arrived at the exact same

29:51shop as tamina 125 pounds is the sum of money in phil's wallet guess what my dog's called daphne

30:05he's such a big softy oh do you know what i love these things they tell such a story

30:10so this is a first world war death penny or death plaque this commemorates the life of someone who

30:16was kia killed in action and if you look closely you can just see the initials of the man who designed

30:24this just there ecp that's edward carter preston you've got he died for freedom and honor do you

30:30know what it then dawned on them that it wasn't just men that were killed in action but ladies were as well

30:35so what they did was snitch a little lesson at the beginning so it became she died for freedom and honor

30:42now the kind of entry level price for one of these is about 50 quid for a man for a lady it's probably

30:49five to eight hundred pounds but then you start having add-ons so here you've got the medals and various

30:55on the paperwork the price is 265 pounds that's kind of way out of my price range i mean for me

31:05i look at these things and you know they really bring a lump in my throat me too phil now what's

31:12going on here oh no price on this either priceless or worthless what a shame eh

31:25oh poor old phil onwards with cheeky tamina then

31:30well these are quite nice uh urkel children's sized rocking chairs i've got a dining chair set of this

31:41series for adults and it originally came in this uh darker color which isn't particularly fashionable

31:49at the moment it's the blonde urkels which are the like more paired down lighter color that are

31:55really popular and sought after post-war furniture giant urcole didn't just kit us out with affordable

32:02tables and chairs oh no they also made 25 000 tent pegs every day during world war ii

32:11i'm known for my love of mid-century furniture and urkel was one of the core

32:17brands making furniture at the times these would be around the sort of 1950s period so 48 pounds each

32:25the one that's in not as good condition is the one that has the serial number imprinted

32:32and has the original urkel sticker which would be the most appealing at auction for a collector or

32:38someone who wants it in their home so i guess that's the one i'm going to go for right deal

32:45incoming stand by brian hi hello how are you i'm good thank you i've just found this lovely little

32:53rocking chair 48 pounds remember is there any movement on that for you we could do that at 40.

33:26massive and uh there's stuff everywhere so that expression you can't see the wood for the trees

33:32applies here although i do quite like that now that's a crane isn't it and that's either been a

33:40letter opener or a page turner but i think that's probably a page turner i'm not really interested in it

33:48from there down it's the top side of it i quite like fingers i think that's actually quite a well

33:53cast little bird date of that i would think it's probably first 10 or 15 years of the 20th century

34:00the crane was a popular motif of the ar nouveau movement artists were fascinated with japanese culture

34:07where the crane was lauded as a symbol of good fortune and longevity
