00:00On all new salvage hunters
00:03With almost 60 years combined experience
00:06Three leading antique and salvage dealers are joining forces
00:10From West Wales, country house connoisseur Alistair Dreybra
00:14Loves the traditional
00:16Sorry about that, isn't it?
00:17It's nice, Welsh, handsome
00:18Pine, tarpon settle
00:20Don't try to sell it to me
00:21No, I'm not trying to sell it to you
00:22Edinburgh-based dealer Vicky Knott
00:25Has an incredible eye for interiors
00:27I just think ever easy
00:29I just think that's brilliant
00:31In London, Shere Khan Yamagja
00:34Is a devotee of retro design and industrial salvage
00:37Sourced from all over Europe
00:39These were made by gents of Leicester
00:41And it's a general post office one
00:43While his brother Jay restores items back to life
00:47There's nothing to rust, nothing to go wrong
00:49And that's why these last forever
00:51Together, they're travelling the country
00:54On the hunt for the very best antiques and decorative salvage
00:58This time, still fierce
01:06A hundred-year-old lion in roaring condition
01:095.30s, usually you get some damage
01:12It's really good
01:13Stunning Danish design lights up Shere Khan and Vicky's day
01:17They've got white on the inside
01:19But it's not just painted
01:20It's an actual thin layer of white glass
01:24And experts advice on how to clean those dusty vintage pieces
01:28Probably need a little bit of a dust
01:30I'll just use my bottom, shall I?
01:31Based in North London, dealer Shere Khan Yamagja and brother Jay
01:43Have spent nearly 15 years building up a loyal customer base
01:47With a taste for industrial salvage and vintage lighting
01:50All dealers have their favourite items
01:53You know, their bread and butter items
01:54With us, it's lighting
01:55Especially modern lighting
01:57From about the 1930s onwards
01:59And our client base is a young client base
02:03We have young, male, new money, hardworking
02:07And they have a specific style
02:09They like the modern lighting
02:11They like mid-century industrial lighting
02:13So that's why we're always on the lookout for that kind of thing
02:17Because, you know, you need to feed your customers
02:19That's how you make your money
02:20Today, Shere Khan and Jay are up at the crack of dawn
02:26To cross London
02:27Keen to arrive early at a location
02:29Where literally tens of thousands of vintage objects
02:32Will be on offer
02:33Including plenty of the in-demand items
02:36They need to find for their customers
02:38Sunbury Antiques Fair
02:40It's always good
02:41Always good
02:42Always pick up some lovely bits
02:44Today, hopefully, will be a busy day
02:47The weather's good as well
02:48Yeah
02:49Always busy when the weather's good
02:49As long as the weather's good
02:50You get a lot of people
02:51Even like they'll come last minute
02:53So, hopefully
02:55We pick up some nice pieces
02:57First opened in 1878
03:02The Camps and Park Racecourse
03:04In Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey
03:05Is known for the famed King George VI Chase
03:09Held every Boxing Day
03:10But in more recent times
03:13It's been the backdrop for an event
03:15That's become legendary in the antiques world
03:17From modest beginnings over 40 years ago
03:20Sunbury Antiques Fair
03:22Is these days the largest and longest running
03:25Twice monthly market in the country
03:26With over 700 sellers
03:29Shifting everything from artwork to furniture
03:31And the best pickings are for those
03:34Who are first out of the gate
03:35Morning
03:39You alright?
03:41So, we always come here
03:43Especially, like, before a fair
03:45Before a show
03:45We'll come down here
03:46We'll have a look around
03:47Sometimes go back with nothing
03:49Sometimes fill our boots
03:50But there are those bread and butter things
03:52That we always sell
03:53You know, good lighting
03:54Industrial clocks
03:55Everything can be bought here
03:57Ooh, that clock
03:58That's quite nice, isn't it?
04:01It starts at 6.30
04:02Being here that early is important
04:04Because that's when the good stuff
04:07They just fly out
04:08They're just gone
04:09The Bakelite's good on it
04:14So there's a Smith's Bakelite clock
04:17Wartime or pre-war electric clock
04:21The Bakelite is just perfect
04:24It's kind of just lightened up a bit
04:26The face of the clock
04:27Has deteriorated perfectly as well
04:29Smith's were very famous
04:31For the first electric clocks
04:33They're one of England's
04:34Most famous clocks
04:35Train stations, factories
04:37Big industrial clocks
04:38This double-sided clock
04:41Would probably have hung
04:43Outside a shop or business
04:44In the 1930s
04:46Smith's English clocks
04:47Were producing over 4,000 timepieces a week
04:50And their designs were to be seen
04:52In domestic, industrial and public spaces
04:55So this clock comes with recognition and nostalgia
04:58It's high on the bestseller list for Shere Khan
05:01And with a little restoration from Jay
05:04Could be worth around 460 pounds
05:06I'll put new mechanism in there
05:08I like the face
05:10150
05:12160
05:14People that buy them
05:17It kind of like takes them back
05:18They're a very famous clock
05:20Which makes it very saleable
05:22How much you got in that, mate?
05:2750
05:27You're a good one, eh?
05:29There's a Dugdills lamp there
05:30Dugdills is a British company
05:32It's an English company
05:33They produced some amazing lamps
05:37Starting early 1900s
05:38From brass banker's lamps
05:40With glass shades
05:41To, you know, hardcore industrial lamps
05:44They were used by aerospace
05:45You know, they were meant for really hard work
05:48But they just were so aesthetically beautiful
05:51There's one on the table there
05:53With its original base
05:54It's...it's perfect
05:56120?
05:58140 would be the best
05:59Huh?
06:01Still got the mark on it as well
06:02Yeah, go on in
06:03Yeah, you did a nice one, didn't you?
06:05Thank you, sir
06:06You've got to know what your customers want
06:08And every time we do them up
06:09And we put them online
06:10They really don't hang around for long
06:13They sell just like that
06:14Still got its original switch on it
06:16And it's 140 pounds
06:18We shake his head
06:19It's a perfect buy
06:19And that is why we come here
06:21That is why we'll come here week after week
06:23What do you think they're for, lads?
06:35I'm guessing milk or wine
06:37No
06:37You don't have milk bottles that high
06:39Yeah, wine I could see
06:40But Nitalus
06:41It's oil
06:41Ah
06:42For two-stroke engines
06:44Okay
06:44In the 30s
06:45And you had a bottle of oil for every tank full of petrol
06:48Okay
06:49So they put a bottle of oil in for every tank
06:52Yeah, because that's how two-stroke work
06:53Because it's got no oil in the sumps
06:54Ah
06:55Really nice
06:56They're in good condition as well
06:58What have you got in them?
06:5940 each
07:00I'm not going to argue with that
07:02Shaken man's hand
07:03Thank you very much
07:04Thanks for that
07:04All right
07:05Can we just put them on the back of the van?
07:07Yeah
07:07And then I need to go around paying everyone
07:09And I'll come
07:09My secretary will be around
07:11Secretary
07:11Look at that
07:12No respect
07:13No respect whatsoever
07:15There's two crates there
07:17They're really nicely done
07:18They've got cast aluminium
07:20And it's got the name of the company, Nicholas
07:22They can go into retail
07:24They can go into someone's house
07:25And they just look the part
07:27When it's something to do with automobiles
07:30When it's something to do with cars, motorcycles
07:31Anything like that
07:33You've got those people
07:34Who become potential customers
07:36Look at that tiger
07:41That lion
07:42That's quite nice
07:44It's all right
07:45Bit of fun
07:46Do you like it?
07:47I quite like it
07:48If you like it
07:48Then we go and have a look at it
07:50You all right?
07:55Are the tail soft?
07:56Yeah, it's got like a soft tail to it
07:58Do you know how old this is?
08:041930s
08:041930s
08:05Yeah, the fireside lion
08:07It's a papier-mâché
08:09Yeah, I'm saying for 1930s
08:11Usually, you know, you get some damage
08:12It's really good
08:13Yeah, no, he's really lovely
08:15It is
08:16It's got a really nice look to it
08:18Really nice
08:19Lions, tigers
08:21I love them
08:22I love the big cats
08:23And then you've got a really well-made papier-mâché one
08:28And there's some age to that
08:291930s, the lady tells me
08:31No damage
08:32Absolutely beautiful
08:34This statue is an early 20th century version
08:37Of the fireside lion
08:39In wealthy Georgian and Victorian homes
08:42Bronze or stone lions
08:44Were often placed on either side of the fireplace
08:46Echoing the power and status of the British Empire
08:49This papier-mâché lion
08:51Has a more playful folk art feel
08:53Which would work for a modern or eclectic interior
08:56Most likely a one-off
08:59Shere Khan thinks it could fetch
09:00Around 440 pounds
09:02Your best on that?
09:10140
09:11140
09:12The very best
09:13At a giant antiques fair in Surrey
09:26Brothers Shere Khan and Jay
09:28Are trawling for the best-selling items
09:30Their customers are always after
09:32That one
09:34Ooh
09:34And a 1930s papier-mâché fireside beast
09:39Has stopped Shere Khan in his tracks
09:41Your best on that?
09:45140
09:46140
09:47Very best
09:48Alright, I'm taking it at 140
09:51I'm chuffed with that
09:53Yeah, it's really cool
09:54Fantastic
09:55Thank you very much
09:56That's amazing
09:57I'm so happy with that
09:58Things like that
09:59They're so collectible
10:00People love them
10:01You know
10:01There's a varied amount of people
10:03That will go for that
10:04And again
10:05It's just one of those things
10:06That will just sell
10:07It's one of our bread and butter items
10:08You know
10:09Good papier-mâché
10:10Done properly
10:11Always sells
10:12That's nice
10:16It's a blast, mate
10:19What do you think?
10:21It's okay
10:22It's a bit too far gone, but
10:23Just the cigarette part is gone
10:25But the Abdullah is still there
10:26Yeah
10:27That's nice
10:29It's in this original thing
10:31Oh, nice
10:32It is nice
10:33Abdullah cigarettes
10:34They used Turkish, Egyptian
10:38And I think American tobacco as well
10:40Early 1900s
10:41It was a London-based cigarette company
10:43It's a bit gone
10:44Under part where it's the cigarettes
10:46But it's worn out gracefully
10:48Looks amazing
10:49You know
10:50We'll get it chained up
10:51Hung up
10:52And it will look beautiful
10:53Your very best on that
10:54Uh, 150
10:56150?
10:57Yeah
10:57120?
11:03I mean, it's quite rare
11:04Yeah, okay
11:07120?
11:08Yeah, 120
11:09Lovely
11:09Thank you very much
11:10Thank you
11:11It's an Arabic name
11:12It's a very popular name
11:14In the Middle East
11:15So someone might not even
11:16Go with the cigarette advertised
11:18They might just go
11:19With the name
11:20So you've got a whole new
11:21Audience base
11:22That you can sell to
11:23Me and my brother
11:28Back on familiar ground
11:29Another good day
11:31We always have a good day
11:32At Kempton
11:32Whether we're buying or selling
11:33Got some really nice lighting
11:35Got some clocks
11:36Got an oil canister
11:38Crates
11:38The Abdullah cigarette sign
11:41Is a little bit special
11:42But I think today
11:44The best thing I bought
11:45Is that paper mache lion
11:46It's just so lovely
11:48It's just adorable
11:49I haven't bought something
11:51This good in a long time
11:52This is one of the first markets
11:54We started selling at
11:56About 13, 14 years ago
11:58And the good thing is
12:00Like a lot of friends
12:01We've met over the ways
12:02We end up meeting them here
12:04You have a little chat
12:04Have a coffee
12:05Catch up on old times
12:07You always have a good day here
12:08I'm absolutely knackered man
12:15Seriously
12:15No it's been a good day
12:16Yeah
12:17Everything we bought
12:18I'm happy with
12:18Being here for 6.30
12:19That is the only thing
12:21But early bird
12:22Catches the worm
12:22While Jay heads back to London
12:27With a van load of bestsellers
12:29To prep for sale
12:30Shere Khan has more buying to do
12:32This time he's joining forces
12:35With Edinburgh based dealer
12:36Vicky Knott
12:37Who over decades
12:39Has honed her instincts
12:40For spotting the decorative
12:41But practical pieces
12:43She knows her customers are after
12:45I think it's getting a balance
12:47When you're dealing
12:48And having a shop
12:50You can't really fill it
12:52With sort of real
12:54Kind of left field buys
12:55All the time
12:56You need to have a balance
12:58And I like to have
13:00Really good practical
13:01Interesting items for the home
13:03Which keeps the balance
13:04I don't know if other dealers
13:06Are like this
13:07But I can just look at something
13:09And I just go
13:10Yeah that'll be in and out
13:12By the end of the day
13:13It's just an instinct
13:14It's 25 years
13:16Of hard graft
13:18Today Shere Khan
13:22Wants to introduce Vicky
13:23To a contract in North Yorkshire
13:25He thinks might be a good source
13:26For pieces that will appeal
13:28To her customers
13:29Vicky today
13:30We're going to see
13:31Someone that I've bought
13:33And sold with
13:34His name's Tom
13:35He's got a company called
13:378man Interiors
13:38I think I've seen him
13:40On Instagram
13:41Yeah
13:41He's a young dealer
13:43He's in his early 20s
13:45Really nice guy
13:46So do you think it's going to be a day
13:48That I'll be able to get
13:49A few bits of pieces from him
13:51Yeah
13:51He's got a lot
13:52I mean
13:52You know
13:53Kind of visually decorative
13:55Stuff
13:56And personally
13:57I think it could be more your day
13:58Than my day today
13:59Oh really yeah
13:59Yeah yeah yeah
14:00And maybe you know
14:01I'll get some ideas from you as well
14:03You never know
14:04We're in North Yorkshire
14:06We're in the depth
14:06Yeah yeah
14:07Nunnington
14:08This is a wee bit different for you
14:10Is it?
14:10For me
14:11This is
14:12I come from the concrete jungle
14:14I come from London N17
14:16This is beautiful for me
14:17Honestly
14:18Do you feel a wee bit like
14:19You're on holiday
14:20Yeah I feel like I'm in a different country
14:21The quiet village of Nunnington
14:26Takes its name from a Christian nunnery
14:29Built here over a thousand years ago
14:31Likely at the site
14:32Where the 17th century
14:33Nunnington Hall stands today
14:35More recently
14:37The village has become home
14:38To an extraordinary collection
14:39Of vintage objects
14:40From the UK and beyond
14:42Ape Man Interiors
14:44Is the work of Tom Brennan
14:46I've always been a dealer
14:50From an early age
14:52Selling antiques
14:53And decorative items
14:54Out of my bedroom at home
14:55I remember getting told off so much
14:58For going and buying useless junk
14:59But then I later found out
15:01That I could sell that useless junk
15:03For a profit
15:04I used to sell anything from cameras
15:07To military
15:07Over time I moved to traditional
15:10English antiques
15:11Then on to Asian
15:13I love the quality of some of it
15:15The bright colours
15:16The different materials
15:18How rustic and worn items are
15:20I have bought off Shere Khan before
15:23But no, I've never dealt with Vicky
15:24But very excited too
15:26Hi Tom
15:31Hello, good to meet you
15:32I'm Vicky
15:33You all right Tom?
15:34And good to see you again
15:35Good to see you again
15:35How you been?
15:36Yeah, really busy, thanks
15:37Yeah?
15:38This is the first time I've been to his shop
15:39Which looks absolutely amazing
15:40Welcome
15:41Yeah, God, this is incredible
15:43It's like an Aladdin's cave
15:44Yeah
15:45Is it Chinese, Indian?
15:47So there's a real mixture in here
15:48We've got Tibetan, Korean
15:50We've got industrial lighting
15:52We've got a bit of French antiques
15:54But mainly it is India and China
15:57The shop, it's a mixture of everything
16:00You know, you've got industrial lights there
16:02And you've got fabrics from Africa
16:04And it's all been put together
16:06And created in such a way
16:09That it all goes together
16:10The way Tom has done this
16:11His style is impeccable
16:12It really is
16:13God, I love that little basket
16:16Is that one of the fishermen's type weave?
16:20That is known as a flower basket
16:22Right
16:23So it'll be used for people
16:24To sell flowers at markets
16:26Right
16:26Hence the shape of it
16:28It's Chinese, yeah?
16:29It's Chinese
16:30They're Chinese, yeah
16:31Okay
16:31Can I model it for you for a minute?
16:32Okay, so
16:33It'll be like this
16:34Oh, yeah
16:35That suits you, actually
16:36Do you like flowers?
16:38Do you like flowers?
16:38And you'll be sitting there
16:39And I've come to the gentleman that you're with
16:41And I would say
16:42A flower for the lady
16:43Really?
16:44Yeah
16:44And then I'd sell him a flower
16:45And he would give it to you
16:46Lovely
16:46In Chinese, of course
16:47A Chinese, yeah
16:48In Chinese
16:48All handmade
16:49All made of reeds
16:51Incredibly skilful
16:52Yeah
16:53It takes to produce
16:54And they last a lifetime
16:55I think that's quite a cool
16:57Sort of decorative item
16:58It is
16:59Isn't it?
16:59More about age-wise
17:00You know how old this is?
17:01This one
17:02I would say is about 1880s
17:05In that sort of region
17:06What sort of money's in something like that, Tom?
17:09So
17:10What does it say on the tag?
17:12So we've got 120 on the tag
17:13Yeah
17:14For you, it could be 100
17:16Right, okay
17:17I love it
17:21But I don't say much
17:22Oh, God
17:23There's not much left in that for me, really
17:25It's the type of thing you want to touch
17:27You want to pick up
17:28You want to look at
17:29It's got curves
17:30It's got little bits of wire on
17:33It's just so gorgeous
17:34See, I'd like to have it just tipping over the 100
17:38Do you know what I mean?
17:39In the shop
17:40Yes, I go with what it means
17:40You've got to be enough in it for you
17:42Yeah
17:42I could do 80
17:44Yeah, go on then
17:47I'll take it at 80
17:48Thank you very much
17:48Get the ball rolling
17:49We'll get the ball rolling
17:50In all honesty
17:51There's not that much in it for me
17:54Once we pay for everything
17:55But it's just a really pretty item to have in stock
17:59Have you seen these before?
18:02They're Indian flasks
18:04Army, aren't they?
18:05Yes
18:05Yeah
18:05I used to sell them
18:07They're actually a leftover British army
18:09Oh, are they?
18:09Produced in India, yeah
18:10I like the way the enamel's kind of gone on some of them
18:13It looks really nice
18:14Well, they're surplus, they're left over
18:16So they would have just been dumped
18:18And then they're brought back to life over here
18:21What I love about them
18:23Is, see, when you have them
18:24Literally lined up like that
18:27Yeah
18:27As an army with flowers
18:28They look amazing, don't they?
18:30What kind of money are those?
18:31Retail, 15 apiece
18:33Trade, they can be eight
18:35And that is it
18:37There's no movement on that
18:38But I've sold hundreds of them
18:41Every single one I get
18:43They always go
18:44You've got nine
18:45Is that the only nine you've got?
18:46Oh, that's probably the last nine I've got
18:49I'm going to take those
18:50Yeah, I think you should
18:51Eight with each
18:51I'll take those, yeah
18:52Thank you very much
18:53Not something that I would
18:54I would usually go for
18:56It's not really me
18:57But
18:57There was both something very decorative
19:00And very kind of masculine about it
19:03So, you know what?
19:05I've been travelling around with Vicky
19:07And I think she's kind of rubbed off on me a bit
19:09I think they kind of suit my style as well
19:12These enamelled water canteens
19:15Were made in Calcutta
19:16By the Bengal Enamel Works Limited
19:19Which opened in 1921
19:20Made for both British and Indian army personnel
19:24They're highly decorative
19:26And could be worth around £20 each
19:28We've not got very far in, have we?
19:33We haven't
19:33It's a bit of mercury glass here
19:36I just want to have a look at
19:37Some
19:38I think there's another mercury glass piece at the bottom as well
19:42The green one
19:43Oh, the green one
19:44Yeah
19:44Do you want to give me that and you can get that one out?
19:48Or do you want to just have a...
19:48Just hold on to that one
19:49So are these shades British?
19:52Yeah, they're British
19:52The really famous and really expensive ones of these
19:55Are the German ones by Zeiss
19:57Icon
19:58Zeiss
19:59I mean, you'd know
20:00They did the camera lenses
20:01The camera, yeah, yeah
20:02Yeah
20:02This green one is very nice
20:04I can feel a lot of soul from an old piece of furniture
20:08From an old, like
20:09That green on ceramics
20:11That green on any piece of old furniture
20:13Everyone loves it
20:15That green sells
20:16When it's aged like that
20:17Even better
20:18What have you got on the green one?
20:20Green one could be 60
20:22Do you?
20:25Take that
20:25Thank you very much
20:26And the silver one
20:28Forty
20:29Thank you very much
20:32Good
20:33Those
20:33Fantastic
20:34Underneath the outer enamel layer on these glass shades
20:38Is a silvery paint
20:40Which creates a reflective surface
20:42Visible through the glass from the inside
20:44Although the silvery chemical mercury was not involved
20:47The glass was known as mercury glass
20:50Because of the brightness created when light hit the mirror surface inside the shade
20:54Commonly used for strong lighting needed for shops, warehouses and even outdoors
20:59These lampshades have the vintage industrial feel Shere Khan's customers look for
21:03And with careful restoration could be worth around £210 each
21:09Honestly, this place is just so beautiful
21:13Thank you
21:13And you haven't even seen the half of it
21:15Oh really?
21:16Oh God
21:16Tell me about these wee lamps
21:19They are laboratory lights
21:21Okay
21:21They actually came out of a university in Guildford
21:24Right, okay
21:24There's something just quite nice about them
21:26So I've got a set of four and one individual
21:29And they adjust up and down, do they?
21:32Yep, so they go up and down
21:33And then the shade itself can go up and down and twist
21:37That's why they make a good reading light
21:38Yeah
21:3980 quid each
21:40What's the trade on them?
21:42If you wanted the four that match
21:44Mm-hmm
21:44They could be...
21:4665 each
21:4950 quid each wouldn't buy them
21:53At a dazzling antiques collection in North Yorkshire
22:06Shere Khan and Vicky are on the lookout for crowd pleasers for their customers
22:10Honestly, this place is just so beautiful
22:14Thank you
22:15And you haven't even seen the half of it
22:17Oh really?
22:17Oh good
22:18And Vicky's discovered a set of four adjustable laboratory lights
22:22Which could make great reading lamps for a chic bedroom
22:2580 quid each
22:27What's the trade on them?
22:28They could be...
22:3065 each
22:3250 quid each wouldn't buy them
22:3555 would
22:38For that matching four?
22:41For those four
22:42And obviously if you would like the other one
22:44That could be another 55
22:45It's nice when they can sell them as a pair
22:49Well I'm just thinking bedsides and stuff
22:52Yeah
22:52Do you know what I mean?
22:53That's it, pairs always sell better
22:54250 for the five?
22:57Because there's not that much in them for me
23:00Not that much
23:00I'll do that for you
23:01Yeah? Brilliant
23:02I'll have them
23:03Thank you very much
23:03Thank you
23:04The little science lab lights that Vicky found
23:07Fantastic
23:08You know, the way she's rubbing off on me
23:09I found rubbing off on her
23:10Tom really done her a favour on those
23:13She's not going to hold on to those for long
23:15They're going to go very quick
23:16The enamels
23:18They're quite nice, aren't they?
23:19The enamels, yeah
23:20All Indian enamels
23:21There's just something about them
23:22I don't know what half of them say
23:24But the colour and the picture on them is just right
23:27I just like the fact that some of these have been repurposed
23:30So what they've done is they've had an original enamel
23:33And then they've thought, we don't need that anymore
23:35So we'll just use the back
23:36BSC shoes, look
23:38Manufactured in Batanagar
23:40I'm assuming it means Batanagar shoe company
23:43BSC
23:45I would imagine that
23:47Yeah
23:47Yeah
23:47What kind of money can that one be?
23:49Er, that one could be 60
23:51And the shoe one?
23:53I would need 80 for the shoe one
23:55Could we do 120 for both?
23:59I could do 130
24:00Kind of
24:02Do 130 on us
24:03Thank you very much
24:03The Sanskrit writing
24:06Graphically just looks absolutely amazing
24:09Perfectly worn
24:10People love them
24:11I'm very happy with the price
24:12Tom gave me a deal on those
24:14Look above your head
24:16How genius is that?
24:18Rolling pins
24:19It's just an easy way to display them
24:21And it's got that dramatic effect
24:22They're cool, aren't they?
24:24Yeah
24:24I'm sort of looking at these stools a little bit
24:26Tom, you've got a few of them dotted about
24:29Those are Chinese
24:30So these ones are known as spring benches
24:32They would be outside of shops, restaurants
24:34And people would go outside and get the spring air
24:37They've got lovely colour
24:38Lovely shape
24:39We get different styles
24:41Depending on what region they're from
24:42So these are more simple
24:44And then we have more heavily carved
24:47More decorative pieces
24:49Can I get this one out here
24:51And get a look at it
24:52And get a set on it?
24:53Yeah, of course
24:54You'll probably need a little bit of a dust
25:01But other than that, it's ready to go
25:03I'll just use my bottom, shall I?
25:05Give it a polish at the same time
25:07Every single person needs either a stool
25:10Or a bench
25:11Or a small table
25:12But my customers don't like anything
25:14That's too fancy
25:15Too ornamental
25:17And some of the ones that Tom's got here
25:20Are maybe just too much for them
25:22What's the trade on that one?
25:2690
25:26Yeah, I'll have that one
25:29Thank you
25:30I reckon that might be the first of many, Tom
25:34So I was trying to pick something
25:36That I loved
25:39That had a little bit of different flavour to it
25:43But wouldn't be too far from a customer base
25:47And I picked one that I think is just in the sweet spot
25:50Another good day of picking for me and Vicky
25:57We went in
25:58I mean, by the time we were even like two foot into the door
26:02Her with the basket and me with the hip flasks
26:05We'd already turned a deal
26:07Tom, honestly, he was very, very fair to both myself and Vicky
26:12Leaving us plenty of room to make a profit as well
26:15You know, we've come down here
26:16So he didn't disappoint
26:17It's been a really good day seeing Shere Khan again
26:21And also meeting Vicky for the first time
26:23As a dealer, it's always important to meet new people in the trade
26:27Connections you make normally last a lifetime
26:29Once you have a good contact, they remain a good contact
26:33Thanks for that call
26:37Loved it
26:38Tom's great, eh?
26:39He is
26:40Really nice guy
26:41For me, which was really strange
26:43Was I kind of slightly stepped into the old
26:46I don't want to call them industrial
26:49But slightly more utility
26:51Yeah
26:52The lights
26:53The lights
26:54Yeah, that was me rubbing off on you
26:56Do you think it was?
26:57Yeah, it was
26:58But then I went and bought hip flasks
27:00To be used as little vases
27:02Yeah
27:03Yeah
27:03That I used myself
27:04From Yorkshire
27:08Shere Khan and Vicky are heading across the Pennines
27:11To Lancashire
27:12Where Shere Khan is keen to call on another dealer
27:15He thinks will appeal to both their buying sensibilities
27:18And their customers
27:19So we're off to see Rob from Black Dog Retro Interiors today
27:26Yeah
27:27I know him
27:28There's a couple of fairs I do
27:29And I've seen him there
27:30He drives all the way down from here
27:32Down to London
27:34Does he?
27:34Yeah
27:35Good mid-century furniture
27:36You know, really nice kind of seating
27:38So is that what he specialises in?
27:42Yeah, mid-century furniture
27:43And he really does know what he's doing
27:45So he's got this place here
27:47I've never been before
27:48But from what I understand
27:50It's in an old factory
27:52Or kind of warehouse setting
27:54Brilliant
27:54Yeah
27:55The fortunes of the Preston area
28:01Were transformed during the Industrial Revolution
28:04When machine-powered mills were built here
28:06To process cheap cotton
28:08Harvested by enslaved people in the United States
28:11Today, one of the largest surviving mill buildings
28:14Is home to independent local businesses
28:16And since 2023
28:18Its vast top floor
28:20Has been taken over by a specialist
28:22In the clean, functional design styles
28:24Of the mid-20th century
28:26Rob Munt
28:27Black Dog Retro Interiors
28:32Started completely by accident
28:34It was just a bit of a side hustle
28:36And it just evolved bigger than my full-time job
28:39And it's grown every year since
28:41To start with, with mid-century furniture
28:43I didn't have a clue about it whatsoever
28:46But the more I was buying it
28:48The more I got interested in it
28:49The design, the materials
28:51And it just caught my eye
28:53And interest since then
28:54The stuff that we buy
28:56Being, being this is 50, 60 year old
28:58It's not always in the best condition
28:59So we like to strip it, refinish it
29:02Reupholster it
29:03You know, give it a new life
29:04In another 50, 60 years
29:06Wow, yeah, yeah, yeah
29:10One of them limits
29:11You all right, Rob?
29:20How are we doing?
29:22You all right?
29:22Yeah, not bad
29:23Vicky, how are you doing?
29:25Wow
29:25It's a big place you've got here
29:26It's absolutely massive
29:2812,000 square foot
29:29Whoa
29:29Is this open to the public?
29:31Yeah, so we've got
29:32Obviously we've got the showroom
29:33Yeah
29:33And then we've got workshop area around the back
29:36It's open to the public
29:37But by, at the minute
29:38By appointment
29:39Because we do nip in and out all the time
29:41Yeah, but most of it
29:43It's all online
29:44If I can get it online fast enough
29:45I mean, what an absolutely amazing building
29:50Total British industrial
29:53The lift
29:54Just the build of this place
29:56He's really done it properly
29:58Chairs on the walls
30:00Dining tables and chairs set up
30:03Like they would be in a kitchen
30:04Yeah, he's done his work
30:06I'm having a wee look at that bench behind you
30:09Because we're doing a little bit of work in the kitchen
30:12Okay
30:12And I'm needing a little bench
30:14Well, I found you one
30:17Yeah, I'm looking at it thinking it might work
30:20I think that's quite nice
30:21It's not bad, actually
30:22Yeah
30:23We're in a sea of, you know, mid-century furniture
30:27Which has been picked and restored
30:31With such an expert eye
30:35Yet I'm drawn to a pine bench in the corner
30:40And it's simply because
30:42It's a great size
30:44It's immaculate
30:46And I need one for my kitchen
30:49In all honesty, I do
30:53But as a commercial piece
30:55To come in and out my shop
30:56It's perfect
30:57It's all solid
30:58It's all doweled
30:59It's, you know, there's no screws or anything
31:02It's a good
31:02Got some good age to it
31:04Nice old pine bench
31:05What could you do that for me for?
31:09Er, 160 on it
31:10Er, 120
31:12120?
31:15Yeah
31:15Yeah, I'll take that
31:16Nice one
31:17Thank you
31:18First one done?
31:19First one done
31:19I know what I'm like
31:21It'll come off the van
31:22It'll get photographed
31:23It'll go on to socials
31:25And it'll sell like that
31:26And it'll probably never even get measured to go to the house
31:31These all ready to go, Rob, these?
31:33Yep
31:33Er, they're Danish as well
31:35Yeah, home guard
31:36Yep
31:36They, they do a lot of very similar lamps as well
31:39Yeah
31:40Yeah, yeah
31:40And they've got, like, white on the inside
31:42It's kind of like opaline
31:44Yeah
31:44On the inside
31:45But it's not just kind of, like, painted
31:47It's an actual
31:48Like a layer of glass
31:50Kind of thin layer of white glass
31:51There's two lights there
31:53They're Danish
31:54They're by a company called Home Guard
31:56They're very desirable things
31:57You can get them in various colours
31:59Like purples
32:00Oranges and yellows
32:02Just that kind of droplet shape
32:03Diffuses the light amazingly
32:05And they have this little
32:07Just such a small detail
32:08It's a little teak top
32:10That the cable runs through
32:12It's just very, very well designed
32:14You're looking at something from the 60s
32:17That even today
32:18Looks totally modern
32:20It was a pioneering Danish cantesse
32:23Henrietta Daniskjold Samso
32:25Who, in 1825
32:27Harnessed energy from a local peat bog
32:29To heat the furnaces of a small glass workshop
32:32By the 20th century
32:34Home Guard had become a Danish design powerhouse
32:37These elegant 1960s teardrop pendant lights
32:41Are highly saleable
32:43And, sold as a pair
32:44Shere Khan thinks they could be worth
32:46Around 800 pounds
32:48It's got
32:50You've got 295 on one
32:52And 225 on the other
32:53Yep
32:54What's the very best on those?
32:58400
32:58It's been a week of introducing Vicky to new contacts
33:11And discovering customer favourites
33:13And at a stunning mid-century antiques display in Lancashire
33:17Shere Khan's found a pair of Danish-designed glass lampshades
33:21He knows he'll have no problem selling
33:23What's the, what's the very best on those?
33:27400
33:27Yeah, I'll do those 400
33:32Yeah
33:33Nice one
33:34Nice one, Rob
33:34They're fabulous
33:36They are
33:36They're really good looking things
33:38Rob gives me a very good price on the pair
33:41You know, all I can do is shake his hand
33:43I get a lot of chairs from the Czech Republic
33:49I'm assuming they, they come to you upholstered from there, innit?
33:52No
33:53Oh, they don't?
33:53No
33:54You've got to do all that here?
33:55Yeah
33:55Wow
33:56Depending on how good the finish is
33:58We'll strip them, refinish them
33:59Wow, so you're putting a lot of work into these
34:02Oh yeah, yeah
34:03So mid-century is very hard
34:06It's not like selling other vintage or industrial items
34:10Where you can keep them looking their worn selves
34:14With mid-century, your customer wants to see it perfect
34:18So your restorations have to be perfect
34:20So this area here is
34:22This is the to-do area
34:25We all have one of them
34:27Yeah
34:27Yeah, but these are the good parts
34:30These are the parts I like
34:31Straight away I see a cream
34:36Herbert Terry angle poise
34:37It's an early one
34:39The reason why I know it's an early one
34:40There's no plastic fittings
34:41It's all metal
34:42Then he has a small METEC
34:47I thought at first that it was maybe a re-spray
34:50Because it's like a pink
34:51But on further kind of inspection
34:53I think that might be originally pink
34:56Best on that?
35:00100 quid
35:01And that one best on that?
35:0430 quid
35:05Take both of those
35:0730 quid
35:08I'm not even going to argue with that price
35:10But they all look quite similar
35:16But they're all slightly different
35:18What's this bad boy in here?
35:21It's like the tree root
35:23We're kind of in a forest
35:25Of design-led mid-century upholstery
35:29And sort of stuffed under some cushions
35:32I could just see this sort of gnarly arm
35:35It's the ball root
35:37Yeah
35:38It's the centre
35:39Yeah
35:39You know they make bowls out of them as well
35:42Yeah
35:42This one's been painted
35:43Yeah
35:44Yeah
35:44It's been tucked away
35:47I'm going to get it blasted
35:48Yeah
35:48Can I just say
35:49It doesn't look like it should be here
35:52Mixed in with all this other stuff
35:54I do buy random stuff
35:57That just catches my eye as well
35:58Yeah
35:58How much is this robe?
36:0280 quid
36:03Yeah
36:05Yeah
36:06I will have that
36:07Okay
36:07Thank you very much
36:08It's one of those root stumpy chairs
36:12And it's sort of carved out of one big hunk of teak or something
36:17But what I loved about it was somebody chucked a coat of paint over it
36:23Left it outside and it had that kind of weathered look
36:27Like it had just been sitting there unloved
36:30So these are again all projects Rob?
36:35Yeah
36:36Everything just needs stripping, refinished
36:38It's quite a sweet re-thing
36:40What is it?
36:43I got it from when I was picking up a sideboard
36:48They had like magazines in it and then books and stuff in it
36:52I don't know if it was someone's made it
36:54Or if it came like that
36:56I don't know
36:57But it was quirky
36:58When I first looked at it
37:00I thought it was just kind of like a little bookshelf
37:02But there's also a part in the middle of it for magazines or books
37:07It's just really well designed
37:09Really well made
37:10It's too well made to be scratch built
37:12What kind of money is that?
37:1440 quid
37:14Can't say no to 40 quid on that
37:17No you can't
37:18That's a really nice thing
37:21The utility there is amazing
37:23Very well thought about
37:24This unusual bookcase could be the work of 20th century designer Isocon
37:31Known as the Isocon donkey
37:33Due to its four legs and angled shelving
37:35That resembled panniers carried by a donkey
37:38Bookcases like these were later renamed the Penguin donkey
37:41As the shelves were the same size as the famous orange-colored penguin paperbacks
37:46Dating from the 1960s
37:48This cool modernist piece should be a great fit for Shere Khan's customers
37:52And if it is a genuine original
37:55Then it could be worth around £500
37:57I'm just looking at this wee table
38:04It's an old school desk
38:06Yeah what is that?
38:08So it's a kid's desk
38:09A kid's desk yeah
38:10I think it's got a good look and a good shape I think
38:16And it doesn't move or anything
38:20No it's just as it is
38:21Quite like the way the legs
38:26Splay like that
38:27This is where I have no understanding of how my brain works to be honest with you
38:33I have walked past 20, 30, 40, 50 tables today
38:38But I didn't really see a margin in any of them
38:41And then I just saw this tapered compass type leg
38:46And I thought that looks quite interesting
38:48Turns out it's like a little school table
38:51But it's got a little bit of a look
38:54How much is it?
38:56£60
38:56It's not needing any actual work is it?
39:00It's not?
39:00No it's solid
39:01Cosmetic
39:03Yeah £60
39:05I'll have that
39:07Thank you
39:08It can be used as a coffee table
39:10It can be used as a stool
39:12It can sit in a hallway
39:13For whatever reason it drew me to it
39:17That's what ultimately will sell it for me
39:21It's been really good for me to come here
39:28I see Rob in his own natural environment
39:31Me and Vicky we both brought some great stuff from Rob today
39:35My home guard pendant lights
39:38I think they tip the scale
39:39I think they're great things
39:41It's been good having Shikhan and Vicky round today
39:44And I think they've found some good bargains
39:47And I've made a few sales
39:48Happy
39:49Rob thank you very much man
39:51Thank you
39:52Thanks for coming
39:52And it won't be too long till I see you again down London
39:55Yeah a couple of weeks
39:56Yeah we'll see you there
39:57Have a good one
39:57You too take care
39:58See you later
39:59Thank you
40:00In his North London workshop
40:09Restorer Jay is starting work on the mercury glass lampshade
40:13Shikhan snaps up at eight man
40:15Right first
40:17I'm just going to give him a wipe down
40:18See how much of the green paint comes off
40:21This one is a challenge for me
40:24I've rewired and restored
40:27Mercury lights before but none this far gone
40:31Right
40:32Whoa
40:37It is just coming off with a soft brush
40:42My brother wants it back up and green again
40:45I don't think there's going to be any green left by the end of this
40:48As the hundred year old green enamel paint flakes away
40:54It takes some of the silvery reflective layer underneath with it
40:57You know that green mercury light
41:00Yeah
41:01It's not green
41:02It's glass
41:03It's all crumbled off
41:04Yep
41:04Wow
41:05If you spray this
41:07You're going to have to get this all off
41:08No I'm going to leave it
41:10You're going to leave these little bits
41:11Yeah
41:11But still spray silver over
41:13Yeah
41:13So there's some of the
41:15So there's some of the left on there
41:17So when people look underneath
41:19They're going to be able to see
41:20The old and the new
41:21The old and the new
41:22All right
41:22Yeah
41:23That's what I reckon you should do
41:24Good luck
41:25Rather than remove all the old reflective paint
41:31Jay's plan is to preserve the originality
41:34By sealing what's left of it
41:36Under a modern silver based mirror paint
41:38Right
41:41The mirror spray is dried now
41:43All areas covered
41:45Once we remove that
41:46You're going to see it's going to have a mirror effect
41:47Coming through the glass
41:49With the reflective surface
41:53Originally intended by the designer
41:55Now restored
41:56A primer can be applied
41:58Before a new coat of enamel paint
42:02In the vintage green shade
42:04Shere Khan knows his customers are looking for
42:06Well that looks okay for now
42:10I'm going to leave it for a while
42:12Let it dry
42:12I'm pretty happy with the enamel spray
42:22Because it's a pretty thick coat
42:24There's no drips
42:26No nothing
42:26So it looks really nice
42:28All right
42:28And then as you can see
42:30The original mercury glass
42:32What was left
42:33As I was scraping it off
42:34And then the other bits
42:36Are all the mirror spray
42:37I'm happy with that
42:39Now getting the light fitting on
42:42And getting it lit up
42:44I like that
42:52That is really nice
42:54With their brilliance restored
43:00The mercury lamps are ready for sale
43:02Along with the rest of the week's haul of bestsellers
43:05So everywhere we went this week
43:08We came up trumps
43:09Found exactly what we were looking for
43:11Got some really nice Indian enamel signs
43:14From 8-man
43:15Especially the Batangar shoot factory one
43:17Then Sambri Antiques
43:19Always delivers
43:21The lion
43:22That was probably my favourite buy of this week
43:25Animals in ceramic
43:27Animals in paper mache
43:28Metal animals
43:29They just sell
43:30People love them
43:31This lion
43:32It's got size
43:34It's got looks
43:35It won't hang around for long
43:36So this week
43:38It's been a lot of items
43:39That will turn over quickly
43:41And they'll have a really good margin in them
43:44So
43:44Happy
43:46It's been a really good癒
43:47Trooga
