FunTranscript
00:00Find the wheel of a classic car.
00:01Here we go.
00:02Woo-hoo-hoo!
00:03And a goal to scar Britain for Antiques.
00:06The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction.
00:09But it's no mean feat.
00:11There'll be worthy winners...
00:12I can't stop smiling!
00:14...and valiant losers.
00:15Right, I retire.
00:16Will it be the high road to glory?
00:17Oh, look at that!
00:20Or the slow road to disaster?
00:22Oh. Oh, dear.
00:24This is Antiques Road Trip.
00:28Yeah.
00:30Let's go!
00:35Or maybe not.
00:37Smooth, isn't it?
00:40And we're away!
00:43It's the second leg with audacious auctioneers
00:46Philippe Searle and Hermina Gaffar.
00:49They're in the fancified 1959 Ford Poplar.
00:52A mean machine, if ever I saw one.
00:56My first car was a Ford Pop.
00:59And there's a distinct difference between the two.
01:03Because mine wouldn't start.
01:05This one won't stop.
01:08He's joking!
01:10I hope.
01:11Last time, Tamina was straight-talking.
01:13Never see something quite as hideous as this.
01:16And found an admirer.
01:18Oh, for me!
01:20Shouldn't have.
01:21Well, Phil was super funny.
01:23What's that?
01:25Short-hand typist.
01:27And used his head.
01:29What am I going to do?
01:30With one auction win in the bag.
01:32All done.
01:33Selling at 65.
01:34Do you know what?
01:35I've surprised myself.
01:36It's 1-0 to Phil.
01:39That was a pretty impressive win there, Phil.
01:42Hey, you can have a bit of luck, can't you?
01:44Hey, a bit of luck.
01:44Oh, you don't have luck.
01:47It's what we call the Searle magic.
01:50Best of five auction wins, wins.
01:53I think I might try, like, a sort of Searle-style buying strategy.
01:59Really?
02:00You know?
02:00Maybe something the shop's made of.
02:03Ha-ha!
02:04That's brave!
02:05This tour, kicked off in Liverpool, will race from Yorkshire to the Midlands, pop into Oxfordshire,
02:11before ending in Cornwall.
02:13Now, competition is very much alive with this pair.
02:18I did say that you do like to buy actual rubbish.
02:21Yes, core trash talk to me, huh?
02:25Let me tell you, you're not on your own in thinking that.
02:28Ah, he's a good sport, eh?
02:30Our two chumpsters are in the east riding of Yorkshire, concluding shopping in Ghoul.
02:36But first stop is the seaside town of Bridlington.
02:40Known as the lobster capital of Europe, it lands over 300 tonnes of the crustacean delicacy each year.
02:48Feeling shrimply the best, our pair are ready to get their claws into shopping.
02:55Watch out the Georgian rooms!
02:59I think I'm going to find a winner in here.
03:01Really?
03:01Yeah, well, I'll have to eventually, don't I?
03:04If that's the case, I'm going to follow you.
03:06Come on.
03:07That's the ticket, Tamina.
03:09Now, come with me for a nosy.
03:12With over two floors stuffed with treasures, let the mooch begin.
03:20Let's fill.
03:21Full of pep.
03:23What will tempt him to spend his 200 smackers?
03:26Do you know what?
03:31That's a nice little chair, isn't it?
03:33And it's a Victorian little child's rocking chair.
03:36It is all this original.
03:38Can you see those four holes in the child's seat?
03:40Well, why would they be there?
03:42They're not doing anything.
03:44No, too big for woodworm.
03:45So, my immediate reaction is that that seat has probably been replaced at some point in time.
03:53Let's just have a look at this upside down.
03:57Now, look at that there.
03:59It looks a totally different colour to the timber here.
04:03So, what looked like a sweet little chair, and actually wasn't that dear at £110,
04:08is starting to look a bit expensive.
04:11Because it's wrong, I think that's one for me to walk past.
04:14Yeah, very white.
04:15Thank you, Philip.
04:16Yoo-hoo!
04:17Tamina!
04:19Also with a cool £200 in her purse, what will she buy?
04:27Wow, that is incredible.
04:30It's a, what, life-size motorbike?
04:33Yeah, it looks big enough.
04:34It's made completely out of rattan.
04:36And it even has brakes and brake cables, also made out of rattan.
04:44It's £600.
04:45Close enough.
04:46It's £595.
04:48But, gosh, can you imagine this being in the foyer of a massive contemporary home?
04:54That's incredible.
04:56Yeah, but too pricey for you, girl.
04:59There's more outside to explore.
05:01Now, what's going on here?
05:03Hello.
05:04Phil?
05:04Yeah?
05:04Don't you used to be a PE teacher?
05:07I'll tell you what.
05:08Look and learn.
05:09Are you ready?
05:10Oh, blimey.
05:11Brace yourselves.
05:12Oh!
05:16Agility of a panther!
05:19Athletic prowess at its finest.
05:21Well, that was exciting.
05:24After a quick recovery, let's continue with our Antiques Olympics.
05:30Do you know, I love the social history of what we do.
05:34And I love things like this.
05:35So, I think we've probably got a hundred-year-old sewing machine here.
05:40But, can you see a sewing machine today being made with the care, love, and style that this was?
05:48You've got this really lovely kind of, almost like a swan neck arm here.
05:52And, blimey, look, it still works.
05:56A thing of beauty.
05:58It's a Jones hand machine, as supplied to HRH, the Princess of Wales.
06:05And it says on here, look, it's a serpent or cat's back sewing machine.
06:09The Princess of Wales, later Queen Alexandra, was a keen sempstress and big fan of the Jones model,
06:16so much so that it was the only British sewing machine to carry her name.
06:20And the thing I love about this stuff is that this is a functional, kind of almost industrial, working object.
06:27It just looks a really cool thing.
06:29Any price?
06:31£75. I think that's too much money.
06:33But you never know. There might be a deal in it.
06:35It's even got a Sengamap with it, look.
06:37I'm going to go and have a word with the boss and see what can be done.
06:41Standby dealer, Ian.
06:44Ian, how are you?
06:45I'm all right, Phil, thank you.
06:46I really like that little sewing machine.
06:48You've got £75 on it, which I can't see anything like that, but what's the very best you could do it for?
06:54Right, I can do it for £20.
06:56Really?
06:57Yeah, because I'd like it to be appreciated by someone.
07:01Well, I appreciate it, and I'm going to tell you what, I'm going to show you.
07:04And does that mat come with it?
07:06It didn't, but it does now.
07:08Oh, what a gentleman.
07:09Well, there you are, then.
07:09Thank you very much.
07:10Thank you very much.
07:11You take care now.
07:12Ian, you are indeed a very generous man.
07:15That incredible deal means Phil now has £180.
07:20You know what they say, a stitch in time saves nine.
07:24Right you are, Phil.
07:26Back inside, where's Tamina?
07:28Now, I am a total cat person.
07:35Now, this is a David Sharp rye pottery cat.
07:39He was known for doing ceramic seated cats with really elongated necks.
07:44He also did this sort of blue and white series.
07:47David Sharp was the first apprentice at the rye pottery in 1947.
07:52He later became renowned for his ceramic animals.
07:54So, all of the blue and white cats that I've seen by David Sharp have always been in a sort of quite demure, crouching, sort of delicate pose.
08:05Whereas this guy is in a very striking and affronting position.
08:11Now, collectors, and there are many of them, who'd be looking for the slightly more unusual pieces, would find this really interesting.
08:20It's priced at £30.
08:21I'd prefer it lower, just to give me a chance.
08:25But even at that price, I think that this is attractive and unusual enough that it will make a profit.
08:32Now, I've got a good feline about this.
08:36Oh, me too.
08:38A good one for the auction, cat-a-log.
08:41Ian, you have another customer.
08:43Stand by.
08:44Ian, hi.
08:45Hi, Tamina.
08:45I found this gorgeous cat with some attitude.
08:49Yeah.
08:50Where could you go with this?
08:50I think we could manage 20.
08:5220 would be perfect.
08:54Perfect.
08:54I like what you did there.
08:56How amusing.
08:57There you go.
08:58That's £20 for you.
09:00Thank you very much.
09:00Thank you so much.
09:01Bye, Ian.
09:02Bye.
09:03What a great pie, eh?
09:04Tamina, you still have lots in the kitty.
09:09£180, to be precise.
09:10I think he is perfect.
09:20Now, I spy a Philip.
09:23It's quite peaceful without Tamina in the car, but I don't think you could possibly call it quiet.
09:28I mean, just listen to this.
09:31Oh, impressive.
09:34Phil has now arrived in the country idyll of Ruston Parva.
09:39A farmer's son, Phil, will love this place.
09:43Once a farm for piggies, it's now the home of antiques goodies.
09:48Phil Edmund Antiques.
09:51Here comes another Phil.
09:54This family-run business has been on the go for over 15 years.
09:59From antiques to salvage, this looks like Serral Central.
10:03With £180 in his back pocket, let the snuffle begin.
10:09Everybody refers to these here as saddle stones.
10:13Well, they're not.
10:14Let me tell you, they're staddle stones or rick stones.
10:17And the point of these is you would build a hay rick up in the field on top of these stones.
10:23And the point then is that rats and the like can't get into the hay or the straw because they can't get over this cap.
10:30A bit out of my budget because I would imagine that these are going to be between £150 and £300 each.
10:36I don't suppose there's much room for negotiation either, eh?
10:41Let's continue the search inside.
10:44The man who owns this shop has got a really good eye.
10:47And he's got some cool things.
10:48I mean, I love both these.
10:51Book presses.
10:51So, book presses, probably 19th century.
10:55Two of them there.
10:56I actually prefer that one.
10:57Why?
10:58Because I think it's probably ready to go.
10:59It doesn't look quite as battered as that one.
11:02You know, if you're into pressed flowers, that type of thing, you can press flowers with a book press.
11:07And I just think that's really cool.
11:10It's unpriced.
11:10As early as the 16th century, the gentle art of flower pressing was practised by samurai warriors to improve patience.
11:20He looks grim.
11:21I think that's got a look.
11:23We fit up in a printer's.
11:24You know, any sort of shop like that.
11:26Or you can actually use it.
11:27So, if the price is right, I'm going to go for that.
11:30While Phil continues his search, let's find Tamina.
11:35Our gal continues the shopping hurrah in the village of Sköla.
11:40In here, at this fine establishment, new-to-you furnishings, there's a vast sea of plunder to set sail in.
11:51That's Poppy.
11:52Oh, there's a shop cat.
11:55Poppy.
11:56Get off me.
11:57Where are all the bargains?
11:59What shall I take to auction?
12:01Tamina is currently minted with £180.
12:07Not bad.
12:08Actually, I think he might have gone into the rough there.
12:11Let's keep mooching, eh?
12:15Oh, what an attractive chest.
12:17I love the form on this chest of drawers.
12:20It echoes the, sort of, double serpentine curvature of a French or Flemish bomb chest.
12:27A style emerging during the 18th century from the French word bombe, meaning rounded and bulbous.
12:34It's made of rattan, still very resilient and built to last.
12:43Yep, she's definitely drawn to rattan today.
12:45Whilst this isn't quite as old as French or Flemish bomb furniture, there's still all the elements of that attractive symmetry, the bulbous form, but with slightly different features, such as the rattan, the beading.
13:00And these really charming tassel drawer handles.
13:05And all four of them are there.
13:07And it's set upon some very lovely feet as well.
13:12I think someone would really enjoy this in their home.
13:14It's priced at £85.
13:16But for me, to make a profit, I'd definitely have to get that down quite a bit.
13:20While Tamina rootles, oh, she does love a cat look, let's swivel back to Ruston Parva, to our other auntie Kerr.
13:29You know what, this kind of brings back memories to me, because my grandad and my old man, they have butcher's shops.
13:37And I can kind of remember these signs on the meat and the sausage and all the rest of it in the window.
13:43So I think they're really, they're just fun.
13:46So I'm just trying to work out.
13:47So two shillings and sixpence, I think that's 12 and a half p.
13:51Spot on, Phil.
13:53Also known as half a crown.
13:55This would get you a bumper bag of shopping back in mid-century Britain.
13:59Look at that.
14:00And look, you've got a sign for homemade beef sausages.
14:03Yeah, I'll have two pounds, please.
14:06If you want a pot roast, this is the place for you.
14:09I can see Phil in a stripy apron, you know.
14:13Nice bit of social history, all this, though, isn't it?
14:15And collectors love accoutrements from the old shops of yesteryear.
14:20So I quite like those, don't know how much they are, but I've possibly got these here.
14:25It's a good place, this. I'm going to see if I can find something else.
14:28Righty-ho, he's loving it in here.
14:31Now, over to Scurla.
14:36Watch out!
14:36What a beautiful piece of mid-century design.
14:47I've seen these before.
14:49These are what are called safari chairs.
14:52And they have this sort of sling seat and elongated arms.
14:57And it's just so quintessential mid-century.
14:59This example is by a company called Arcana.
15:04Maurice Burke was a mid-century designer with Arcana,
15:09best known for his space-age designs, which featured on the TV series Star Trek.
15:14Well, it's lovely to sit in as well.
15:17It all depends on how much it is.
15:19I haven't seen a price tag anywhere.
15:24But I'm going to go and find out.
15:25And if it's at the right price, I think we could be sitting on a profit.
15:31Time for a chat with Dina Carroll.
15:34Along with the Arcana chair, she's keen on the Rattan Bombay chest at 85.
15:39Where could you go? What's your best and final on that one?
15:42Would you be happy with 40?
15:44I'd be delighted with 40. That would be great. That gives me a right chance.
15:47And now there was another piece of furniture.
15:50Ooh, the chair.
15:52The mid-century chair.
15:54Would you be happy with another 40?
15:56Do you know what? That's such a beautiful piece.
15:58It's a bargain.
15:59Yeah, that is absolutely a bargain.
16:01So that's £80.
16:03Thank you so much, Carol.
16:05Thank you very much.
16:06Thank you again.
16:07Hi.
16:08Carol, you are a wonder.
16:10A total of £80.
16:11And that duo of bars leaves Tamina with around £100 left.
16:15Who needs a courier?
16:18She is very strong.
16:21Now, how goes it in Ruston Parva?
16:26What on earth is that?
16:28Well, I know what that is,
16:30because that's a really sweet little walking cane.
16:33Actually, do you know what?
16:34The thing about a good stick or a good walking cane
16:37is that it fits the hand.
16:38And that...
16:39..it just fits the hand really, really well.
16:42In the 18th century, the walking cane was de rigueur
16:46for any discerning gentleman
16:48thought to have originated from Louis XIV,
16:52possibly wearing high heels.
16:55Now, what's this?
16:57Well, clearly, that grabs something.
16:58But what's this rest for here?
17:01I would think this is probably 1920s, 30s,
17:04something like that, between the wars.
17:06And it's clearly for grabbing something.
17:08But I'm not quite sure what.
17:11It was Benjamin Franklin who invented the long arm,
17:14a device for reaching books on high shelves.
17:18Of course, it could also be used to pick up litter.
17:21But I'm not quite sure what you do with it.
17:24Let's go and chat to dealer Phil.
17:26Phil, we also have the cast-down book presses
17:30and the vintage price tags, all unpriced.
17:33Phil, how are you?
17:36Now, then, are you all right?
17:37Good to see you, matey.
17:38Right, you've got lots of lovely things.
17:41And can I also just say,
17:42what a fantastic name you've got, Phil.
17:45Oh, here we go, softening up.
17:48Let's start with the book presses.
17:50There's one that's quite ornate,
17:52probably earlier than the other one.
17:54And then you've got the rectangular one.
17:55How much is that, please?
17:5730 quid.
17:58Really? Right, that's a deal done.
17:59What about the selection of price tags?
18:02And the lot?
18:03Yeah, all of them.
18:0430 quid.
18:05So that's 60 quid I owe you.
18:07And then you've got the walking cane,
18:09and then you've got that other, like, a grabber thing.
18:12And how much is that?
18:1325 quid the two.
18:14So that's 85 pounds I owe you, isn't it?
18:18There's the money.
18:19Thank you very much.
18:20Very much.
18:20There's a handshake, and I'm off to pick up some litter.
18:23Excellent haul of goodies there.
18:25That's 30 for the book press,
18:2630 for the vintage price tags,
18:29and 25 for the walking cane and grabber,
18:33leaving Phil with 95 pounds.
18:36It works, then.
18:40That's it.
18:41Shopping is finito for today,
18:43and reunited, we're on the road again.
18:46Do you want to go litter picking,
18:47or do you want to have something to eat?
18:49I think I'd rather have something to eat.
18:51Blimey.
18:51You know how to spoil a lady, Philip.
18:55Nighty-night.
18:59Ah, the road trip wheels are on the move once more.
19:03Hey, please, you brought your ball.
19:05No, I found a chair that I think is going to really capture some hearts.
19:10Well, you think you're sitting on a fortune, do you?
19:12Oh, I do.
19:13You know the way I did that?
19:14Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:16Great to see you so cheerful.
19:19Today, we're in full-on bonding mode.
19:22Do you know what?
19:23When I was a kid,
19:24you could either have a thrapney bag of boiled sweets,
19:27or a six-punny bag of...
19:29Do you know what a thrapney vids is?
19:30No.
19:31Do you know what a six-punns is?
19:33Old money?
19:34Showing you vintage there, Phil.
19:38Yesterday, he was on a buying frenzy,
19:41scooping up a sewing machine,
19:42a book press,
19:43vintage price tags,
19:45and a walking cane with grabber.
19:48What on earth is that?
19:50Phil has £95 to play with.
19:54Meanwhile, Tamina collected a rye pottery cat,
19:58a rattan chest of drawers,
20:00and an arcana chair.
20:01Oh, a beautiful piece of mid-century design.
20:06Meaning, she still has £100 remaining.
20:10Tell me, are you a clubbing girl?
20:12I am.
20:12Are you?
20:13Yeah.
20:13Are you really?
20:15Yeah, it's more like the MAP's club with me.
20:18Hey, I didn't like to say...
20:20At least I want to get ID'd.
20:21It's my ambition, actually, is to be ID'd.
20:24Good luck with that, then.
20:26Now, for something completely different.
20:29We are in the town of Beverley.
20:30Where our former PE teacher, Phil, is off to the gym.
20:35He's venturing in here, the track, fitness and boxing club.
20:40Ladies and gentlemen,
20:42prepare yourselves for an electrifying journey
20:45into the realm of boxing.
20:47Where the ring becomes a stage
20:50and the fighters' legends.
20:52Like Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson and Barbara Buttrick.
20:58Known as the mighty atom of the ring,
21:02standing at just under five foot,
21:05this fearless local girl followed her dream
21:07way back in the early 1940s
21:09and fought her way to the top of the sport.
21:12The flyweight that packed a punch
21:15is now 95 years young.
21:18Unable to be there in person,
21:20Barbara and her daughter, Michelle,
21:22are chatting to Phil via a video call.
21:24Barbara, how are you?
21:26I'm doing OK.
21:27Back in the day,
21:29what was the reaction to boxing
21:30for ladies in the United Kingdom, then?
21:33Well, fellas didn't like it, did they?
21:36No.
21:37In early 20th century Britain,
21:39the sport was almost exclusively male.
21:42Women boxers were few and far between
21:44and were seen as nothing more
21:45than a fair grand spectacle.
21:48Barbara joined a travelling boxing troupe
21:51and would fight both men and women.
21:54I enjoyed doing it.
21:55The boxing boots and challenged the crowd.
21:58You'd take anybody on?
21:59Yes.
22:00With limited opportunities in Britain,
22:03Barbara set sail for America
22:05in 1952.
22:07Gosh.
22:08It seemed like there was more opportunity
22:10in America.
22:11Why do you think that was?
22:12Well, there were some girls
22:15over there that boxed.
22:17Yeah.
22:17So there was more opportunity
22:20for opponents and things like that,
22:22you know.
22:23Settling in Miami,
22:25Barbara trained at the same gym
22:26as Muhammad Ali.
22:28Competing in over 1,000 fights,
22:31Barbara's hard left jab
22:33scored 12 knockouts
22:35and she was only beaten once
22:37in her 12-year career,
22:39ultimately becoming
22:40the first female world champion
22:42in 1957.
22:44Incredible.
22:46You must be very proud
22:47of what you've achieved.
22:49Yes, I suppose I was, yeah.
22:51As well as inspiring
22:53all those lady boxers,
22:54I think you've inspired me as well.
22:56Thank you for talking to me.
22:58Oh, OK.
22:59It's good to talk to you.
23:01Just don't hit me.
23:02You'd have no chance, Phil.
23:04Barbara retired in 1961
23:06but remained as a manager and trainer
23:08and founded the Women's International
23:10Boxing Federation in 1993.
23:14Barbara paved the way
23:15for women boxers everywhere
23:16and here at the gym
23:18there are a few rising stars.
23:20Amateur boxer Tallulah Pulling
23:22is going to take Tamina
23:24through her paces.
23:26Gosh.
23:27I have to admit,
23:28I'm a little bit nervous here.
23:30It'll be all right.
23:30It'll be all right.
23:31Don't worry, Tamina.
23:33This will be fun.
23:34This is the basic boxing stance.
23:36We're going to start off
23:37with the most important shot
23:38ever, the jab.
23:39So what it is
23:39is just full extension
23:41with your left arm, yeah.
23:42Yeah, that's really good.
23:43And then bring it right.
23:44But make sure with boxing
23:45you always have a tight guard.
23:47Yeah.
23:48Since the London Olympics in 2010
23:50there's been a reported
23:5150% increase in women
23:53taking part in boxing.
23:54It can be quite intimidating
23:56being in like a gym
23:57full of boys and stuff like that.
23:59So it's really good
24:00that there are
24:01more girls coming
24:02so it makes it more comfortable
24:04for other girls
24:05outside the gym
24:05to come and join.
24:07By 2022
24:08the number of registered
24:09female boxers
24:10had increased
24:11by nearly 80%.
24:12Next door
24:15Phil is meeting
24:16with another rising star
24:17amateur boxer
24:18Leanna Smith.
24:21Can I just tell you
24:22something before we start?
24:23Yeah.
24:23This is the punch bag?
24:25Yeah.
24:26This is me.
24:27Do not confuse the two.
24:28I won't.
24:29Go on then.
24:30It was nearly 80 years ago
24:32that Barbara Buttrick
24:33first embarked upon her career.
24:35Without her achievements
24:37the journey would be much harder
24:39for boxers like Leanna.
24:40I don't think she realised
24:42the impact it's had on people
24:43like it's had a really
24:44really strong impact
24:46positively
24:46on all the upcoming boxers
24:48especially female ones
24:50like myself
24:50you know
24:51she's massively
24:52massively inspired
24:53young people.
24:54And you're going to be doing
24:55that to the next generation
24:56wouldn't you?
24:56Yeah.
24:56Yeah.
24:57That's my half.
24:59All the very best Leanna.
25:01How is Tamina doing
25:03with the old 1-2-1-2?
25:07Oh looks like you've got
25:08your own corner man Tamina.
25:11Can I shout out the 1-2 bit
25:13because I'd like to do that.
25:14If you want to yeah.
25:151-2-1-1
25:18I'll tell you what
25:18you keep her at this
25:19I'll keep shouting
25:20I'm off to this shop
25:21alright 1-1-2-
25:23I think Bill's trying
25:24to get a head start on you.
25:25Don't worry.
25:26I'll get him
25:26back in the auction room.
25:30Them's fighting words.
25:32Barbara defied the stereotypes
25:34that tried to limit her
25:35and paved the way
25:36for future generations
25:37of female boxers.
25:40Now determined
25:42to get to the shops
25:43before Phil
25:44Tamina's still in Beverly
25:45all set to clinch
25:47her knockout goodie
25:48in here
25:49at Beverly Antiques
25:51and Collectors Centre.
25:53An arcade of antique joy.
25:55There are over 100 dealers
25:57selling their wares in here
25:58with two floors to explore
26:00so let's go mooching.
26:04Very cool.
26:06Does the job quickly.
26:08That's a little trouser press
26:10you know.
26:11Tamina still has
26:12£100 to splurge.
26:14This little guy
26:16has caught my eye.
26:19It's a Japanese
26:21Netsuki.
26:22So these would have been made
26:24as early as the
26:2616th, 17th century
26:28in Japan.
26:29Netsuki, meaning
26:30attached to the root,
26:32emerged as a practical solution
26:34for fashion
26:35in 17th century Japan.
26:37Men wore pocketless kimonos
26:39and Netsuki
26:40allowed them to fasten
26:41hanging pouches
26:43or inro
26:43to carry their small belongings.
26:45Now they are still in production
26:46because they're such a core part
26:48of Japanese visual culture.
26:50This one appears
26:51to have some age to it
26:52down to its colouring
26:53and subject matter.
26:55The newer ones
26:55are generally
26:56quite rounded forms
26:58a bit more jovial.
26:59The price ticket says
27:00£38.
27:02Now in a
27:03specialist auction
27:04of Japanese artefacts
27:06I think that
27:07you know
27:08is a fair price
27:09to make a profit.
27:11Whether it will do
27:12quite as well
27:12in a general auction
27:14I think I'd like
27:16to take the risk.
27:18Cheerio to Tamina
27:19for now.
27:21Let's find Phil.
27:22Do you know
27:23you drive this
27:24I think it must be similar
27:25to flying an old
27:26Lancaster bomber
27:27only the Lancaster
27:29probably a bit quieter.
27:32Uh-uh
27:32Phil
27:32has pootled
27:34to the east riding town
27:35of Ghoul.
27:40I think you're
27:41a bit big for them
27:42you know.
27:43We're going in here
27:44Bluebell Vintage
27:45and Curios.
27:50Established in 2015
27:52this small family run
27:53business offers
27:54a veritable feast
27:55for the eyes.
27:58Phil has the princely
27:59sum of £95.
28:01Let's get spending.
28:02So this is a really
28:05simple lesson
28:07in how to describe
28:08a chair.
28:09Now
28:09if we look at the legs
28:10first
28:11start at the bottom
28:12work your way up
28:12they're cabriol legs
28:13not too dissimilar
28:15to me only
28:15and this is a balloon
28:17back
28:18so you've got
28:18a Victorian
28:20balloon back
28:21cabriol leg chair
28:22and it's made out
28:23of walnut
28:24but is that for me?
28:25Well sadly no
28:26because in today's world
28:28these chairs are so
28:30out of fashion
28:31and out of sync
28:32that I think
28:34if I put that
28:35into auction
28:35it would be a struggle
28:36for me.
28:37While he revels
28:38in the world
28:39of chairs
28:40let's bounce back
28:41to Beverley.
28:42I wouldn't have expected
28:46to see these here
28:47these are
28:49Turkish bath clogs
28:51for sort of
28:52public baths
28:53like the hamams
28:54the women wearing them
28:55would be
28:57raised above
28:58the dirty water
28:59in the hamam
29:00now
29:01the height
29:02of the clogs
29:04was linked to
29:05social status
29:06so the higher
29:07the clogs
29:08the more
29:09wealthy
29:10and elite
29:11the women wearing
29:12them would have been
29:12sometimes you can get
29:13ones that are
29:14almost like
29:15stilts.
29:17The Turkish hamam
29:18became a cherished
29:19ritual during
29:20the Ottoman Empire
29:21it was specifically
29:23designed to promote
29:24both physical
29:25cleanliness
29:26and spiritual
29:27purification.
29:29I think they're
29:30interesting and
29:31curious enough
29:32that they might
29:33capture someone's
29:33interest at auction.
29:36They're 38 pounds
29:37as a retail price
29:39I don't think
29:41that's very much
29:42to get such
29:43an interesting
29:44conversation piece.
29:47Let's hope
29:47they can steam ahead
29:49with a profit.
29:50Well there isn't
29:51no one person
29:52who can make use
29:52of these.
29:53You shall
29:54go to the ball
29:55cinders
29:56totally lovely
29:57haha
29:58now let's
29:59shimmy back
30:00over to ghoul.
30:07Oh these are nice.
30:13So
30:13this is a really
30:16famous First World War
30:18character
30:18this is Old Bill
30:19and Old Bill
30:21was a character
30:22created by
30:23Bruce Barnes' father
30:24and he's normally
30:26depicted in
30:27First World War
30:28trenches
30:29making somewhat
30:30disparaging marks
30:31about the opposition
30:33but here he is
30:35with his mate
30:35and they're in a
30:37foxhole
30:37or a trench
30:38and Bill is
30:40saying to his
30:41mate
30:41well
30:41if you knows
30:43of a better
30:43role
30:44go to it
30:45and it's
30:46kind of
30:46I suppose
30:48that satirical
30:49humour
30:49about the First
30:51World War
30:51and his stuff
30:52is reasonably
30:53sought after.
30:54Captain Bruce
30:55Barnes' father
30:56served in the
30:57First World War
30:58where he was
30:59badly wounded
30:59on the Western Front
31:00whilst recovering
31:02he created
31:03the character
31:03Old Bill
31:04which would become
31:06one of the best
31:06known cartoons
31:07of the era.
31:09On the back
31:09it's got
31:10made by the
31:10girls of Staffordshire
31:12during the winter
31:12of 1917
31:131918
31:14when the boys
31:15were in the trenches
31:16fighting for liberty
31:17and civilisation.
31:19Do you know what
31:20both my grandfathers
31:20fought in the First
31:21World War
31:22so I find all this
31:23stuff kind of
31:24quietly evocative
31:25for me.
31:26They don't make
31:26huge sums of money
31:27these.
31:27You're looking at
31:2810 or 20 quid
31:29with a good
31:29following wind
31:30but I just love
31:31the story
31:31that it tells.
31:32And a wonderful
31:33way to remember
31:34our heroes
31:35of the past.
31:36It's unpriced.
31:38And here
31:38you've got
31:39these two plates
31:40and they're
31:41interesting
31:41because these
31:41are Prattware
31:42plates
31:43and Prattware
31:44refers to
31:45the kind
31:46of transfer
31:47print
31:48on the cover
31:48and back
31:50in the 1980s
31:51Prattware
31:52was massively
31:53collectible.
31:54Transfer printing
31:55in Calazon pottery
31:56had its zenith
31:57in the mid-19th century.
31:58They're from the
31:59same service
32:00but they're
32:00slightly different
32:01if you look
32:01closely
32:01because the
32:02border on this
32:03one is different
32:03to the border
32:04on that one.
32:04I mean none
32:05of these
32:05are exactly
32:06rare.
32:07If I could buy
32:08all three
32:08I'd put them
32:09as one lot.
32:10Let's ask Julie
32:11her best on the
32:12unpriced pin dish
32:14and plates.
32:15Julie how are you?
32:16Hi Phil.
32:17What's the best
32:18you could do
32:18for the two
32:19Prattware plates
32:19and the pin
32:20dish for please?
32:21I think we could
32:22do 15 on them
32:23for you.
32:24Well I'll tell you
32:24what I'm not even
32:25going to argue
32:25with you I'm just
32:26going to shake
32:26you by the hand
32:27and pay you.
32:28Here we are my love.
32:29Julie you've brought
32:30joy to the
32:31Cerral.
32:32Thank you very much.
32:33You're welcome.
32:35That's Phil shopped up
32:36£80 unspent.
32:38I'm really pleased
32:39with these.
32:40Back to Tamina
32:42in Beverly.
32:50It's always so nice
32:51to find something
32:52unexpected amongst
32:53more traditional
32:54antiques.
32:56This is a little
32:58poetry book
32:59by Omar Khayyam
33:01who was an
33:0211th century
33:03Persian poet
33:04and if we
33:07open it here
33:08it's inscribed
33:10with love
33:11December 20th
33:131922.
33:14That makes sense
33:15because Omar Khayyam
33:16was a renowned
33:18poet
33:18and mathematician
33:20basically
33:21a polymath
33:22of every kind
33:23but it wasn't
33:24until the
33:25turn of the
33:26century
33:26that his works
33:27were translated
33:28into English
33:29by Edward Fitzgerald.
33:30What Omar Khayyam
33:32is most famed
33:33for are his
33:34poetry quatrains
33:35the four line
33:36poems.
33:38This Islamic
33:39scholar's
33:40quatrains
33:41have been
33:42translated
33:42into almost
33:43every major
33:43language
33:44and are
33:44responsible
33:45for shaping
33:46European ideas
33:47about Persian
33:48poetry.
33:50So it's
33:50marked at
33:51£18
33:51and for
33:53something
33:53that is
33:54such an
33:55important
33:56indicator
33:57of that
33:57East and
33:58West
33:58connection
33:59I don't
33:59think that's
34:00very expensive
34:00at all
34:01I'm hoping
34:01someone likes
34:02it as much
34:02as I do
34:03at auction
34:03Along with
34:04this delightful
34:05poetry book
34:06we also have
34:07the Netsuki
34:08priced at
34:08£38
34:09and the
34:10Takish
34:10clogs
34:10also for
34:11£38
34:12So stand
34:13by Bruce
34:13Hi Bruce
34:16Hi there
34:17Let's start
34:18with the
34:18Netsuki
34:19Where can you
34:20go on this
34:21for me?
34:21Er
34:22£30
34:22any good?
34:23£30
34:23would be
34:24brilliant
34:24And the
34:25Takish
34:25clogs?
34:26£32
34:26any good?
34:27£32
34:28would be
34:28great
34:29Yes
34:29Finally
34:30This is actually
34:31my favourite
34:31thing
34:31I've got
34:33this
34:33poetry book
34:34It says
34:34£18
34:35I think
34:36that's
34:36perfectly
34:36reasonable
34:37So
34:37that's
34:39£80
34:39in total
34:40OK
34:4180
34:42Thank you
