00:00Buying the wheel of a classic car, oh yes, and a girl to scar Britain for antiques.
00:05Looking for some bargains?
00:06The aim? To make the biggest profit at auction.
00:09But it's no mean feat. There'll be worthy winners, yes, it is my lucky day, and valiant losers.
00:16I actually can't believe that. Annoying.
00:17Will it be the high road to glory, or the slow road to disaster?
00:24This is Antiques Road Trip.
00:26Yeah.
00:30Hello, South Yorkshire.
00:34Sorry.
00:36It's a brand spanking new trip.
00:39With ace auctioneer Charles Hansen and dealer with pizzazz Rue Irvin.
00:45It's going to be just you and I on a trip of a lifetime.
00:49Stuff of dreams.
00:51This is the first time I'm experiencing your driving.
00:53I would call it luxurious living.
00:56I think you're overselling it.
00:58Because you love cooking, don't you?
00:59I do. I can do it. You want me to cook for you, huh?
01:01No, I love you, sir.
01:02No, sir.
01:03What do you really?
01:04I will make you some homemade tartie scones or some haggis pakoras.
01:08That'll be amazing.
01:09Sounds delish.
01:10The bouncy 1971 Sky Blue VW camper van is their wagon of choice.
01:19Did you notice the registration plate?
01:22No.
01:22It's called yap.
01:23Yap.
01:24So I can yap a lot.
01:25Maybe our little camper can be yappy.
01:27Yappy, yappy.
01:28Yappy, clappy.
01:29Happy, yappy.
01:30Yappy days.
01:32Happy, yappy, clappy.
01:33Where are happy, clappy folk?
01:34Where's my honker?
01:35Where's my honker?
01:36Hold on.
01:37There's a honker.
01:42Armed with a daily budget of up to £400 each,
01:46whoever wins the most auctions out of five is the road trip champ.
01:52Where's my honk?
01:53Where's my honk?
01:54This show is on the road.
01:59Let's go and make some memories.
02:02My honk's not working.
02:03Hold on.
02:04It's broken already.
02:05Oh, he does love that honk, eh?
02:09This tour begins in South Yorkshire.
02:11We will take a run around Lincolnshire with a big auction showdown in Bristol.
02:15Lovely.
02:16What would be your dream find in your first show?
02:18I would want to find for you the most remarkable cat.
02:22Can we have a road trip cat?
02:23I think we have a road trip.
02:24You know how Mr Barnum, you're like a cat.
02:27Yes.
02:27You're a baddie.
02:28I'll be the goodie.
02:29Oh, yeah.
02:30We can find a good cat.
02:31I'll be the baddie.
02:32Today, we're scooting around South Yorkshire, shopping our way to Chesterfield.
02:39But we kick off with our scamsters in the village of Elsicar.
02:43Many years ago, this was like an early industrial village.
02:46It became like an ecosystem in itself.
02:48And hopefully, we can see some antiques.
02:52Over there.
02:53One of the first industrial model villages in the UK.
02:56It's been around since the late 18th century.
03:00Fast.
03:01Oh, such a gentleman.
03:03Come on.
03:03Ladies first.
03:05Off we go.
03:06Leave your gloves at the door.
03:07Goodness knows what they'll get up to here in Elsicar Antique Centre.
03:12Now, let's take a look around.
03:14There are over 120 dealers cramming every space with goodies.
03:19Both Charles and Rue have the sum of up to £400 each.
03:23Let's see if they splurge or save.
03:26Great gag, Charles.
03:28It's an amazing place.
03:32There's so many little units.
03:35And your eye is almost drawn to everything.
03:39But in this cabinet here, what caught my eye is what appears to be...
03:45It's almost got a hint of Tiffany, darling.
03:48We're going from Elsicar to New York.
03:50This style of striated, almost Aztec or deco flange is very typical of the 1920s, 30s.
04:01And so you've got this ground pontil mark.
04:04You've got plenty of scratches and almost this concentric band of wear from where the extreme of the footroom is.
04:11And that, to me, is quite smart.
04:13I would call it period deco glass in the Louis Comfort Tiffany style of circa 1925, because that base is 1925.
04:25The American artist most associated with our nouveau, Louis Comfort Tiffany, king of the decorative art scene.
04:33I like it.
04:34And I think at £32, it could be something which...
04:39Come on, America, we're live in New York at £100, £110, £120.
04:44You never know, and it would appear that this has been sitting a bit unloved.
04:49I'm surprised because I think to any hopefully discerning collector, it's got a bit more about it than being another knobbly knick-knack.
04:57What did you call me, Charles?
05:00Rude.
05:02Now, where is Rue?
05:04Now, that instantly catches my eye.
05:09I love Art Nouveau.
05:10Out of all the eras, this is my favourite.
05:13It's a hot topic today.
05:15But the thing with Art Nouveau, I'm almost scared to go up to it because it's such a popular genre.
05:20You're not kidding.
05:21If I think this is what it is, this is RT, Demoiselle à la Balancel.
05:27The only downside is it's missing something very important, the swinging mademoiselle.
05:33And they would have been just hooked here, two little chains, and a very Art Nouveau woman.
05:39They're flowing robes, just swinging from the mirror.
05:42It's priced at £48.
05:44I'm going to carry on looking, but that is a strong contender.
05:48OK, so where's the young pretender, Charles?
05:51It's quite daunting, quite frightening.
05:54Yes, yes, come on.
05:55Oh, hello.
05:57Taylor and Skinner's.
06:01Oh, wow.
06:02Well, first of all, we've got this old, almost canvas cover of what appears to be a bit of a rolled-up map.
06:09And you can see there how many years ago it was rolled up.
06:15This is really fragile and very early.
06:17So, Taylor and Skinner's survey and maps of the roads of North Britain or Scotland to His Grace, John, Duke of Argyle, Commander-in-Chief of His Majesty's Forces in North Britain.
06:34Oh, how interesting.
06:35And it's published in London.
06:36It would have cost you 12 shillings.
06:38And it was printed and published in March 1776.
06:44Where were you?
06:45That's history.
06:46I mean, I can't believe it.
06:47Effectively, Scotland's first road atlas.
06:50This volume displays over 3,000 miles of roads, shown over 61 plates.
06:55And I can't see a price on it anywhere.
06:59But, my goodness me, when you find history...
07:03Can you imagine this was made, this was printed in 1776, and that's a full 13 years before the French Revolution.
07:12We were at the time of the American War of Independence.
07:15And that's madness to find this map lurking just on this glass cabinet here.
07:20A definite contender with no price tag.
07:23Romeo, Romeo, oh, wherefore art thou Romeo?
07:29Juliette, how are you?
07:30Oh, roulette, oh, roulette, let down your hair.
07:33Now, that's Rapunzel.
07:34How are you getting on?
07:35I'm getting on good.
07:36What about you?
07:37Have you found any attrition?
07:38It's OK.
07:39It's so far so good.
07:40What I say in Derby is, oh, roulette, roulette, come on, me duck.
07:43Me duck.
07:44We'll see you in this year's Panto then, Carlos.
07:49What you got there, Rue?
07:50No, this has caught my eye.
07:52Just a simple pair of Art Deco diamond-shaped earrings with tiny little mark of seat in there.
07:59But what caught my eye is it's £8.
08:02It's £9.25, but it's still 92.5% silver.
08:06And I know it's only £8, which means if I see something else in other shops that's silver or similar,
08:11I can pair it up as one lot.
08:13It's low risk and it means I can carry on falling in love with things.
08:17Talking of love, where's Hanson?
08:19Oh, yes, heaven's sake, grow up.
08:26Someone's caught my eye.
08:27On these glass shelves here, I almost feel like saying, can you see it yet?
08:33And the object is this one here.
08:36It's like a Kampana vase with these, what we call, lug handles and this semi-gadroon base with this overhung lip.
08:45Menti of lip from you, Kampana vases are the form of upturned bells and date back to ancient Greece.
08:51I think this has real age and it's unusual being in this amber tint.
08:57But I'm fairly sure that's circa 1800, what we call Georgian, Georgia 3rd, and it's quite splendid and it's inspired by probably what was being done in Italy at the time.
09:12The colour, I think, captures that taste for continental Europe.
09:17It's only priced at £25 and I think it's a guarantee win-win.
09:24Now, where's Rue?
09:26OK, now the first thing I spotted, an Aquarian always knows a garnet.
09:32Am I superstitious? Am I into horoscopes and burst stones and all of that magic?
09:37Yes, I am.
09:40This, it's silver. I'm pretty sure this is a solid silver brooch with marcasite.
09:45But what you don't often see is that lovely circle of garnets.
09:50You don't often get them in this kind of jewellery.
09:52It's more on rings or it's a very Victorian stone.
09:55But I'm having a look. First thing I want to do is double-check it's silver.
09:59Yes, it is. There's the 925.
10:02Not a huge amount of age. I would say probably 1940s, 50s.
10:07And I'm thinking tactical.
10:08I could pair these up with my silver earrings.
10:12They actually make quite a nice pair.
10:14Ticket price, £25.
10:16Oh, Carl!
10:18Carl, I'm absolutely spoiled for choice, but I've narrowed it down to three things.
10:22So these two pieces of jewellery, the earrings for £8 and the brooch for £25.
10:27So that's fine, I would take those. That's 33.
10:29And the Erte mirror song swinging Mademoiselle?
10:33What amazing price could that be?
10:35The absolute death is £40.
10:37£40?
10:38Yeah.
10:38OK, perfect. In that case, I will take it.
10:41So £40 for the mirror and £33 for the two pieces of the jewellery.
10:45So I owe you £73?
10:47You do.
10:48Fabulous.
10:49Thank you very much.
10:50There you go.
10:51You have been a charm.
10:52Rue now has £327 remaining from her £400 kitty.
10:59Now.
11:00Brace yourself, Carl.
11:02Carl, where are you?
11:05Morning, Charles.
11:06Very well, thank you.
11:07I'd like to buy the Coachman's album.
11:11What's the best on that?
11:12The price, I'm asking, is £280.
11:14Is that the very best?
11:16You know, what's the best?
11:17This is highway robbery.
11:19Get out of here.
11:20The best price is £180, Charles.
11:22Amazing.
11:24The trumpet vase at £32 and the Georgian vase at £25.
11:28Best price on those two together.
11:32£40.
11:33I'll take it.
11:33You're a good man.
11:35Superb.
11:35So that's almost £20 a piece?
11:38Yes.
11:38Know almost about it, Charles.
11:40So £220 in total for all three items.
11:46Blimey.
11:47Charles now has £180.
11:50Thanks a lot.
11:51Cheers.
11:51Cheers.
11:52OK.
11:53Oh, Charles.
11:54I like your memory, by the way.
11:56Just be careful with that glass.
11:57You're making me nervous.
11:58I know.
11:59Hello.
12:02Taking a break from shopping, Rue has now made it to the big smoke of Sheffield.
12:10The city's archives tell the story of a man who was a century ahead of his time.
12:15An almost forgotten pioneer of LGBT rights, he was not only a courageous writer of sexual
12:22liberation, but a footwear fashion icon, Edward Carpenter.
12:28It was the late 19th century.
12:30Male homosexuality was punishable with a two-year jail term.
12:35Playwright Oscar Wilde served this very sentence.
12:38And this was the dangerous world that openly gay man Edward occupied.
12:44Co-founder of the Friends of Edward Carpenter, Sally Gildsmith awaits.
12:50So, Sally, tell me, who was Edward Carpenter?
12:54Well, he was a Victorian gay man.
12:57Right.
12:57Who was a socialist, a writer, and challenged a lot of thinking of the time.
13:03He set up a socialist society in Sheffield, but crucially, he lived with his lover, a man
13:10called George Merrill.
13:11Edward was a Cambridge graduate that rejected his life as a Church of England curate, opting
13:17instead to concentrate on writing and campaigning.
13:20He landed in Sheffield in the middle of an ecological nightmare.
13:25This place was full of smoke.
13:27He got quite depressed.
13:28He was teaching at the time, had a legacy from his parents, and built a house out at
13:33Millthorpe, about three or four miles away.
13:36Over the years, Millthorpe became a place of pilgrimage.
13:40This pioneering socialist's courage to live openly as a gay man attracted many followers.
13:47So he was very ahead of his time.
13:48He was really ahead of his time, which is interesting.
13:51He was friends with a lot of interesting people, including people like E.M. Forster, who
13:56was gay, Siegfried Sassoon, the poet, came, you know, because he was anxious about his
14:02own sexuality and to confide in him, really.
14:08How did he get his message across?
14:11Well, he was a writer.
14:12He wrote, in 1908, a book called Homogenic Love, another one called The Intermediate Sex.
14:19So he was an early writer on being gay.
14:23And he believed that socialism was about more than just economics, I suppose.
14:29A real social hero.
14:30Casting off the repressive expectations of Victorian society, he also set a fashion trend.
14:37For anyone that wants to follow in the footsteps of Edward Carpenter, the archives has just the
14:44thing.
14:45So what can you tell me about these sandals?
14:47They look very intriguing indeed.
14:49Aren't they?
14:50Well, they're from Kashmir.
14:52They were sent to Carpenter by his friend Harold Cox, who was in India.
14:57He sent Carpenter these sandals.
15:00They look really uncomfortable, but he wanted to have footwear in some way, you know, free
15:07the body as well.
15:08So they started a sort of bit of a cottage industry, making sandals much simpler than
15:15these, in fact.
15:17And they got quite popular.
15:18And so here we've got a collection of feet.
15:22He drew around people's feet when he was making the sandals.
15:25And this one looks as self, 1892.
15:30So this is his own feet.
15:33The power and the symbolism in that, because to walk in someone's footsteps, you're taking
15:38that step towards becoming a better person.
15:40Sure.
15:41To me, that is incredibly powerful.
15:44Across town, Edward Carpenter's sandal is remembered as a shoemaker creating sustainable
15:50footwear.
15:51Artist Yuen Fon Ling is waiting to put his best foot forward.
15:56I've heard so much about these sandals.
15:59So are these based on the original design that I've seen?
16:02Yeah, they are a modern interpretation of the design taken from the photographs.
16:06And we just updated it for a kind of contemporary look.
16:09But I'd love to see where the magic happens.
16:11So can you show me the workshop?
16:12The carpenter's sandal is designed to free the foot and connect you with nature and the
16:17world around.
16:20So this is where it happens, Ru.
16:22This is the studio?
16:23This is kind of the finishing room.
16:24Yeah.
16:24So lots of polishing, finishing off, that kind of thing happens.
16:29But one of the most important parts of the process for the sandal is the stamping of the
16:34self, 1892.
16:35Okay.
16:36This is what makes it not just a sandal, but an artwork.
16:40And carry on in those footsteps.
16:41Absolutely.
16:42When you walk in those sandals, you're following his sort of lead, essentially.
16:47I love that.
16:47Show us what you do, Ewan.
16:49You find a stamp here, and then you just position it onto the leather, and then stamp it out.
16:57I'm going to try one simply here, and then you just literally give it a press.
17:02I like to see that stamp on the sole of the shoe as a, like a kind of, like a button.
17:08So whenever someone's foot presses against it, they're activating carpenter's memory.
17:13I love that.
17:14Edward Carpenter's courage and brilliance will forever be remembered here in Sheffield.
17:21A true gentleman that believed future society must change hearts as well as heads for the
17:27liberation of all.
17:32Let's find Charles.
17:35Well, Hanson, you're home alone in...
17:37You happy, happy, happy?
17:40You happy, feeling good?
17:42You feeling okay?
17:42Bouncing a boogie?
17:44Oh, good.
17:48Charles and Yappy have made it to good old Donny Doncaster.
17:53The world's oldest goldfish was bought here in 1956, living until 43 years old.
18:01Oh, such a monkey.
18:03Look, Charles, you are ridiculous.
18:06This way.
18:06With unbridled enthusiasm, as ever...
18:09Antiques, this way.
18:11Brace yourselves.
18:12Brace yourselves at V&A Antiques.
18:16Who's that?
18:18The Hanson has £180 remaining in his £400 kitty.
18:25I'm going to quite keen to buy something which is early.
18:28This I quite like because it's, I'm hoping, if I turn it upside down, you'll see you've got
18:37some very old chips here where the tin glaze has actually been chipped on the rim to reveal
18:43the earthenware body underneath.
18:45And in the style, it's imitating a late 17th century design that's almost certainly by the tone of the pinky glaze would suggest it's European rather than being English, sadly.
19:01English, earthenware, Delftware is almost more popular.
19:04English Delftware was made really in great quantity up until about 1740 before us English developed porcelain, which was transparent and more valuable.
19:15This was more utilitarian.
19:17It was coarse, it was earthy, and it was for, you know, an emerging middle class.
19:23That's a nice dish.
19:25Exciting.
19:27And it's unpriced.
19:29A possibly very early find.
19:32And there's Victoria to chat dosh.
19:35Hi, Victoria.
19:36Hello, Charles.
19:38Amazing shop.
19:40Amazing shop.
19:40And my eyes now are obviously peering around.
19:44But there's one thing I quite like.
19:45You know what I've got, don't you?
19:47I do.
19:48Voila.
19:48Oh, very nice.
19:49I think it's worth a punt.
19:51What's the best we could do on it, Victoria?
19:54For about £100.
19:56Really?
19:56So you could take a chance.
19:58I think it's a deal done in Doncaster.
20:01I'll buy it.
20:02Put it there.
20:03This charger is a potentially very exciting find.
20:08Charles now has £80 remaining.
20:11Good boy.
20:13Oh, here he comes.
20:15I've got high hopes.
20:17I'm just hoping this could be 17th century.
20:19I hope so, too.
20:23Do you know, you look so radiant still.
20:25What's the secret?
20:26I mean, I just love looking at your bracelet.
20:28Can I buy one of those off you?
20:30You can.
20:30You can.
20:31OK.
20:32I think this would suit your outfit, actually.
20:35Bling me up, Scubby.
20:37Nighty night.
20:42Rise and shine.
20:43We resume the revelry in South Yorkshire.
20:48Look at these gorgeous fields.
20:50It feels to me, it's giving.
20:52Look at the cows over there as well.
20:54You're not going to buy a cow for auction, are you?
20:56Crikey.
20:57You call me Hawkeye.
20:58Hawkeye Hanson.
20:59Hawkeye Hanson.
21:00Hawkeye Hanson.
21:01Hawkeye Hanson.
21:01Thank you very much.
21:04Yesterday, Hawkeye Hanson went to town, buying the Tiffany French-style vase, the 18th-century
21:11travel map, the Regency Kampala vase, and the early Dutch charger.
21:17Charles has £80 left.
21:20Oh, he does like splashing the cash.
21:24That's a nice dish.
21:26Despite Rue holding on to the pennies, she's scooped up the mirror sculpture by Erte, the
21:32silver Art Deco earrings, and the silver and garnet brooch.
21:36I love Art Niveau.
21:37She has £327 left to splurge.
21:441894, William Chapel.
21:46Oh, yeah.
21:46Do we need a prayer for this road trip?
21:48Lordy.
21:49Wouldn't hurt.
21:51Today, our blessed chumsters continue the party in South Yorkshire.
21:58Rue has headed back to Sheffield.
22:03Hello, hello, hello.
22:05What do we have here?
22:07I think this is the last surviving Sheffield police box.
22:11It's nearly 100 years old.
22:13Can you imagine the stories that that could tell you?
22:15It was a temporary lock-up detention space for suspects.
22:20Do you know what?
22:21I've worked hard, so I deserve a bit of time travelling.
22:24So I might just stand here and just go back in time and see if I can find some true antiques
22:29of the period.
22:31Come on.
22:32Let's continue with Dr. Rue.
22:34She has a shopping mission elsewhere in the city, namely here at Healy Bank Antique Centre.
22:42Wish me lunch.
22:43A former Victorian bank housing a mesmerising mix of goodies.
22:48With a bulging wallet containing 327 smackers, let's see Rue having a good old Rue tour.
22:57I never buy antique Oriental ceramics because, I'll confess, I'm slightly terrified of them.
23:06Because it's a whole different world.
23:09It's a niche market.
23:11So the label is telling me 17th century rural Chinese Ming dynasty ball.
23:15But I'm going to peel this label off because I want to see what the rain marks are.
23:20And this is why it's a tricky area.
23:22The rain marks are not in English.
23:25They record the names of the Chinese dynasty and the reign of the emperor when it was made.
23:30First seen on porcelain from the Ming dynasty.
23:33I can't read Chinese.
23:35It makes it very tricky indeed.
23:37But there are no rain marks here.
23:39But there's no denying this has got serious, serious age to it.
23:45And it's only 32 pounds.
23:47Because age doesn't always guarantee value.
23:51Rarity, desirability, a story.
23:53Those are the things that count.
23:56But I have to admit, I'm getting butterflies.
23:58Could this be the first piece of late Ming dynasty that I buy?
24:03And could it make me a fortune or will it make me a fiver?
24:06I don't know.
24:08But I think I might have to buy it.
24:13Charles is exploring the Broadfield Road area of Sheffield.
24:17Yee-haw!
24:19His venue of choice is in here, Sheffield Antique Centre.
24:24Now, Charles has 80 pounds remaining to spend on whatever tickles his fancy.
24:30Let the mooch begin.
24:33Wow, that's amazing.
24:36This appears to be probably late 19th century.
24:39Could be continental.
24:40But on the inside, look at that.
24:43Now, if Rue gets a bit bored later, and she gets bored of my company,
24:46I could say, come on, Rue, let's do a jigsaw.
24:49The only thing is I cannot see a price or a swing label on it anywhere.
24:54So, what's it worth?
24:55Not sure yet.
24:58As lovely as it is, it's not for Carlos, while he continues the search.
25:03Elsewhere in Sheffield...
25:05Silver military...
25:06Now, that's a beast of a ladle.
25:11Well, it looks very futuristic.
25:12It almost looks alien-like, which means it's probably Art Deco.
25:17Now, those are the letters you look for.
25:19WMF.
25:20Otherwise known as Wurtembergish Metalwaren Fabric.
25:24Well, WMF are actually one of the largest makers of tableware.
25:29But they've been going since the early, mid-1800s.
25:33So, they're a true antique brand.
25:36But this was about showing off.
25:38This is about having top name, top design,
25:42and that would not have been carrot soup.
25:46Vichy Soise, all the way.
25:49£40?
25:49That's a lot of money to spend on something that's not silver.
25:54This is just steel.
25:57And where the value comes in is the name and the style.
26:01And that, to me, is almost worth a punt.
26:04It's certainly big enough.
26:06As Rue continues her search...
26:09What of Charles, half a mile away?
26:13Shall you play Lacoste?
26:14Oh, no.
26:15I think it's...
26:16You know, you're trying to catch like that, don't you?
26:18It's just like, on a horse, on a horse.
26:20That's polo.
26:22Blimey.
26:26Just come across this.
26:28There he is, a little griffin, smiling away.
26:30Feathered variety.
26:32What I've got here appears to be a scaly griffin,
26:35quite a grotesque griffin.
26:37But I think many years ago, maybe back in the 1920s,
26:40he may have adorned a motor car.
26:42And when it comes to motoring,
26:45small bronze ornaments like this are quite collected.
26:49There's no markings at all to tell us who made it.
26:52And this is only £58, and I like it a lot.
26:55But what car are you on?
26:57I don't know.
26:58What have you come off?
27:00Only history could talk.
27:01This bonnet mascot could be a nod to Vauxhall.
27:04And the griffin has been their logo since the late 19th century.
27:08Hold tight.
27:09You're on my wheel.
27:11Drive me to a profit.
27:13And I think he's nodding your mic.
27:16Er, Dan!
27:17Hi, Dan.
27:18You OK?
27:19Have you spotted something?
27:20Do you know, it's a really good shop.
27:22I think I have seen a very nice car mascot,
27:24the griffin, on a wooden socle base,
27:27really heavy, good bronze.
27:29Really nice.
27:29What's the death on it?
27:31Do you call it the death in Sheffields?
27:32We do.
27:33I can do you 50 quid on that one.
27:34Can you really?
27:35We can.
27:3550 quid.
27:3650 quid.
27:37I'll take it.
27:38I owe you 20, 40, and there's 50 pounds.
27:42I'll shake your hand.
27:43Thank you very much.
27:44You're a big lad.
27:44Take care.
27:45See you, mate.
27:46Thanks, Dan.
27:47Charles now has 30 pounds remaining.
27:52Back to Rue.
27:56I do like a propelling pencil.
27:58Me too.
28:00And most of the time they were silver.
28:02So that's what I'm hoping is the case for this.
28:05Look at this.
28:06Directions for the care and use of rare Val Eversharp.
28:10Propelling pencil, silver, 925 pencil, boxed.
28:14That's got all the information.
28:15It's done the work for me.
28:17But propelling pencils were genius at the time.
28:21Despite being around since the 1700s,
28:24the first patent was awarded to British silversmith Sampson Morden in 1822.
28:31This one is probably Art Deco because Val Eversharp ran from 1905,
28:37but they were at their peak in the 1930s,
28:39so this is nearly an antique.
28:41Then, 100 years ago,
28:42this would have been such a classy, stylish way
28:45for a gentleman or woman to actually write their correspondence.
28:49And at the time, it was quite a revolutionary idea.
28:55Ticket price is £62.
28:56Along with a potentially early Oriental bowl on the WMF label,
29:02all three come to £134.
29:05Hi, Paul.
29:06Hi.
29:06There are lots of lovely things here,
29:09and I found three,
29:10and they're all very different.
29:12So you've got the bowl, which is £32.
29:15That's fine.
29:16I'm happy with that.
29:16I would take that, please.
29:17Very good.
29:18Now, I can't decide between the WMF ladle,
29:22which is priced up at £40,
29:23or the propelling pencil, which is £62.
29:27What about £100 for the three?
29:30£100?
29:30£100.
29:32Done deal.
29:33Thank you so much.
29:34You made an offer too good to refuse.
29:37Many thanks, Paul.
29:38£100.
29:39Thank you so much.
29:40Thank you very much.
29:41So, £32 for the Oriental bowl,
29:43£40 for the WMF ladle,
29:46and £28 for the silver mechanical pencil.
29:49Blimey, what a haul, eh?
29:51Roo now has 227 smacker-roonies.
29:57Now, where has Hanson got to?
30:00You're almost a half-centre.
30:01How do you feel?
30:02I know you're not that old yet,
30:03but I love this.
30:04It's really comfortable,
30:06and I'm having a great time with Roo.
30:07Yappy, the van, is actually 51, Chas.
30:12Charles is all shopped up,
30:14footloose and fancy-free.
30:16He's made it to just outside Barnsley.
30:20Hi there.
30:21Hi, Charles.
30:22Oh, they're old chums, look.
30:24Shall I take a seat?
30:25Yeah, take a seat, Charles.
30:26Amazing.
30:27So...
30:27There we go.
30:30Yeah.
30:30It's a light rod,
30:31then I push it back down inside,
30:33finger roll.
30:34Hold your line.
30:34Pick of the antiques road trip.
30:36And a big cast.
30:37Nice and gentle.
30:39Lovely.
30:39Rock under the water.
30:41So we'll put a few maggots in,
30:42see if we've got your fish.
30:44So we're going to catapult some maggots.
30:46Watch my head, Dave.
30:48I'll watch you, Charles.
30:49Get him on.
30:50Get him on.
30:50Oh, you big baby.
30:52Two foot from top.
30:53Yeah.
30:54Thing near line.
30:55Yeah, you've gone, Charles.
30:56I've got one.
30:56Did you see?
30:57Hold on, I've got one.
30:57Real quick.
30:59It's on.
31:00It's on.
31:00It's big.
31:00It's big.
31:01It's big.
31:01Right.
31:02It's a lot of fish.
31:03It's a minnow.
31:04Hello.
31:05It's a big one.
31:07Don't be thinking this is Charles.
31:09That's it.
31:10Yeah.
31:10It's a good one.
31:11Lovely.
31:12Well, it's a great day.
31:14I've got to fish.
31:15The day is getting better
31:17and better.
31:20Yes, it's official.
31:23He called a whopper.
31:25You should really be looking for antiques, you know, Charles.
31:28Compadre Rue, though, is also looking to hook a goodie.
31:31She's in Chesterfield in Derbyshire.
31:36Bolsover Antiques is home to over 40 dealers selling their wares.
31:42Rue has a mighty £227 stashed in her road trip purse.
31:48Probably the weight of that tea cosy.
31:55Hey, where did that ring come from?
31:56I was distracted by the pom-pom.
31:58So I think this would complete my little jewellery lot.
32:02Now, I'm initially thinking tactically,
32:04because I'd love to buy something at this gorgeous shop,
32:07but it has to match up with what I've already got.
32:10So, yes, it's ticking the boxes.
32:12It's silver, it's Marcus Eats, it's £8.
32:14But am I buying it for the sake of buying it?
32:17I think it's a beautiful ring,
32:18and that style is very much in the sort of 1920s, 1930s style.
32:25It's stamped silver there.
32:27It's quite simple.
32:28It's really elegant.
32:28And it will make a trio lot,
32:31along with the silver garnet brooch
32:33and Marcus Eats earrings from yesterday.
32:35Lovely.
32:36It's probably a dealer's lot, and I'm a dealer.
32:39So if it was me,
32:40I'm more attracted to a lot that's got three pieces in it.
32:44Because I think, hmm, I can sell that for X,
32:46that for X, that for X.
32:47And suddenly it becomes a lot more attractive.
32:49This is going to auction with me.
32:51Stand by, Andy.
32:52Hi, Andy.
32:52Hi, Rue.
32:53I really want to apologise to you.
32:55I wish I was giving you more money,
32:57because this shop is beautiful.
32:58Oh, thank you very much.
33:00But on the plus side, I'm not negotiating.
33:04Right, OK.
33:05Can I please have the silver ring for £8?
33:07Which one?
33:08Thank you so much.
33:09Right, lovely.
33:10You have been an absolute joy.
33:12Lovely.
33:13Thank you very much, then.
33:14All the best.
33:14This final buy leaves Rue with just a tickle under £220.
33:23What could you read me tonight?
33:26Paddington Bear?
33:28Maybe, maybe you could.
33:30All right, let's have marmalade sandwiches.
33:32Blimey, I think it's best they get some shut-eye.
33:38Watch out!
33:40Our roving road trippers are limbering up
33:42for their very first auction.
33:44This is it, the first one.
33:46Come on, yeah.
33:47You got the butterflies?
33:48I'm good to go.
33:49All right, let's do this.
33:50No turning back now.
33:51After a good old conger around South Yorkshire,
33:55we have shimmied our way north
33:57to the Midlovian village of Rosewell
33:59for number one of a best of five auction contest.
34:04At Thompson Roddick Callum.
34:07For sale in the room, on the phone,
34:10and on the World Wide Web.
34:12Commanding the rostrum is Sir Belle Thompson.
34:15At £120.
34:17Charles dished out 370 smackers on five auction lots.
34:25You impressed, Sir Belle?
34:28Car mascots are so collectible.
34:30There is a demand for them.
34:32You know, the ones we all know of,
34:34you know, the Silver Lady off the Rolls Royce.
34:36But this is nice,
34:38and actually we'll definitely find a market here.
34:40Rue also scooped up five lots.
34:43She spent far less.
34:45181 smackers.
34:47Any faves, Sir Belle?
34:49This Art Nouveau style mirror has so much going for it.
34:53It's got beautiful rococo lines,
34:55and it's got two functions in life.
34:58One is, it's a beautiful sculpture.
35:00But again, it's also a mirror to do your hair with.
35:03And actually, I'm quite hopeful of this mirror,
35:05that I think it'll do well.
35:06Find your seats and let's get comfy.
35:11Hi.
35:12He's so friendly.
35:13It's always quite daunting looking in the cellar room
35:16and just, I've been getting a feel for what's only well.
35:18What is quality?
35:194-8-4.
35:20We're about quality, haven't we?
35:21Well, I hope so.
35:23Let's bash on, shall we?
35:25Kicking off with Charles' Tiffany-style vase.
35:28It's gone back into deco.
35:31It's gone back ooh-la-la.
35:32And we can start straight in at 20 bid on the internet.
35:35That's good. Good start. Good start.
35:3622, 25, 28, 30.
35:39Here we go.
35:4032, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 35, 38, 40.
35:45Nice vase, 42, 42, 42, 42, 45, 48.
35:49You've stopped with you, 50, 50.
35:51Anyone else going on at 50 pounds?
35:55Yes, great stars.
35:57Ooh-la-la, Cibone, Charles.
36:00I think my facade is now like that vase.
36:03Not so oily, iridescent, radiant, not greasy.
36:08Oh, thanks a lot.
36:09Voluminous.
36:10Roo next with the mirror sculpture after Erte,
36:14with that swinging mademoiselle.
36:16And we can start straight in at 70 bid on the line.
36:19Oh, my God.
36:20Who's going on at 70 bid?
36:22Come on.
36:22Make no mistake.
36:23Oh, great stars.
36:24It's a great prize.
36:25Come on, Roo, come on, Roo.
36:2675, 75, 75, 75, 75, 80.
36:30It's gorgeous.
36:31At 80 pounds.
36:33You've doubled up.
36:34Absolutely fabulous.
36:36Swing.
36:37Swing, baby, swing.
36:38Swing, baby.
36:39I'm going to behave.
36:41Pay attention.
36:42It's Charles's Regency campana vase.
36:45Oh, it's here, look.
36:46I love this.
36:48And I'm starting at 20.
36:49It's 1820.
36:5025, 28, 30, 2.
36:53Come on.
36:5425, any fans on 35 at 35 pounds.
37:00It costs 20 pounds, made 35.
37:01That's how you do it, Hanson.
37:03Indeed.
37:04Long may it continue.
37:06History comes alive in a small profit.
37:09No, it doesn't.
37:11Sage words.
37:12Right, Roo now with her suite of marquiseed and garnet jewellery.
37:17Nice little small bits put into one lot.
37:1941 pounds for all three pieces.
37:20So you're talking marquiseed, 20,000 period.
37:24Yeah.
37:24Bit of a flappery lot.
37:25Exactly.
37:26At 20, baby.
37:27Come on.
37:28All silver.
37:29All silver.
37:30All silver.
37:30Marquiseed, garnet.
37:31Any fans on 20 at 20 pounds.
37:35Oh.
37:36Our first loss, but only a small one, Roo.
37:39I know what I would say, but being on you at a metaphor, Jimmy.
37:42God bless you.
37:44Carlos the charmer, eh?
37:46Now, let's see how his 18th century roadmap fares.
37:50You know, we could literally, you and I could get dressed in our history and just chub back in time on a road map from that period.
37:58It's an amazing object.
37:5920 pounds for them.
38:00I can't believe it.
38:0270, 70.
38:0322, 25.
38:05Come on.
38:05So much.
38:0630.
38:07This is real history.
38:0835, 38, 40.
38:1122, 45, 48, 50.
38:15Go on.
38:16At 50.
38:16At 50 pounds.
38:19Salavie.
38:20And that's history.
38:21Well, we didn't rev up the room.
38:24What a bargain.
38:25You know, maybe the road's our date now and people fall, they'll get lost.
38:29Let's just move on to Roo's giant-sized WMF ladle.
38:34Been a WMF.
38:35I love WMF.
38:36Is it that big, is it that big stirring?
38:38It's that huge, lovely ladle.
38:41And I could start at 10 bids.
38:43Come on, come on, come on.
38:4410 bids, 10 bids.
38:4512.
38:46Go on.
38:46In the room at 12.
38:4815.
38:4915.
38:49I'd have another stir.
38:5118.
38:51I'm happy to hold it up.
38:52He loves it behind me.
38:5320.
38:5420.
38:55Are you sure?
38:56At 20.
38:56He's out.
38:57He wants no more.
38:58It doubles up as a golf driver.
39:01Anyone else going on at 20 pounds?
39:04It's in the rough.
39:04No.
39:06Pity the profit doesn't match the size.
39:09Celebi.
39:10It just reeks style and elegance and sassiness.
39:15It's over.
39:15Right.
39:16What?
39:18You're next with the possibly 17th century Dutch charger.
39:22Where were you in 16 and 80 room?
39:24I was sleeping in another world.
39:27I've got 20 bids.
39:2820 bids.
39:28Someone knows what it is.
39:29I'm going down.
39:3020 bids.
39:3122.
39:3125.
39:3228.
39:3330.
39:34That's good.
39:3535.
39:35Anyone else want in at 35?
39:38I thought it was interesting.
39:4025 pounds.
39:42Oh.
39:44Ouch.
39:45With the capital.
39:46Oh.
39:47Listen, but again, you're about history.
39:49Don't talk to me.
39:50Look.
39:51You'll survive.
39:52Rue's Oriental Ming Bowl is next.
39:55Nothing special.
39:57The kind of thing you see in the news and you think,
39:58That little boy that my dog used to drink water out of,
40:01so for £7 million.
40:02That's what I'd like.
40:04We can start at 30 bids.
40:0532.
40:0635.
40:0638.
40:0740.
40:082.
40:085.
40:09You're moving.
40:1050.
40:10Stop.
40:1150.
40:11Stop.
40:125.
40:1260.
40:13Slow down.
40:14On the internet at 60.
40:15We'll play part of that.
40:16You're all out in the room.
40:17You're out in the boot.
40:18And at 60.
40:19Oh.
40:20Yes.
40:21It was a gamble for me.
40:23One that paid off.
40:24Well done, Rue.
40:25When you buy Ming and it works, you sink.
40:27It was on.
40:28It was on.
40:29Let's get into gear with the early 20th century car mascot from Charles.
40:35You know who doesn't love a car mascot?
40:37They're so connectable.
40:37Exactly.
40:38They're very tactile in the hand.
40:40They're incredibly connectable.
40:41Exactly.
40:4340 bid.
40:4342.
40:4450.
40:455.
40:45Jumping up.
40:4655.
40:46Keep going.
40:4760.
40:475.
40:48Keep going.
40:49She's working it.
40:50Selling away at £70.
40:53I'm a humble man.
40:54I'll take this.
40:55That you are.
40:56Nice work, Carlos.
40:58It's almost gargoyle-esque.
41:00Give me a gargoyle look.
41:02That's fine.
41:04Very scary.
41:05It's the final lot.
41:07Rue's silver mechanical pencil.
41:10I bought it.
41:11I am denied, but I bought it because the price was too good to refuse.
41:1410 bid.
41:1512.
41:1615.
41:1718.
41:1820.
41:1922.
41:2125.
41:22We'll play.
41:222.
41:23Here again.
41:24Come on, a little bit more internet.
41:2528 on mine.
41:27Yes.
41:27Well done.
41:28Do you want another, sir?
41:28Take it.
41:2928.
41:30At £28.
41:32Yeah, I didn't crash.
41:33It's a tape not across.
41:34I didn't crash a burn too much.
41:35Exactly.
41:37Precisely.
41:38Well, that's it.
41:39All over.
41:41Do you know what?
41:41I feel quite content.
41:42I'm disappointed about my map, but, you know...
41:46Listen, you bought true antiques.
41:48Don't be disappointed about that, Charles.
41:49Let's go and find out the results, OK?
41:50You do know that it should be done.
41:52I think I'm down.
41:53I'm going to follow you, OK?
41:54You never know.
41:54I'm going to follow you.
41:55Charles Fagan with £400.
42:00After all auction costs, he has a figure of £226.80.
42:07While Rue, also beginning with £400 and, after all costs, has £389.56,
42:16making Rue the champ for auction number one.
42:19But still four more to go.
42:24Yes, first one in the bag, but it's still a long trip to go.
42:28After you, I'll follow your lead, that gorgeous summer sunset.
42:32Ah, no, you'll be showing me how it's done.
42:34Get out of here.
42:35I'll catch you up.
42:37Next time on the trip...
42:39Woo!
42:40Charles, you got a sweat on yet?
42:41I've got a sweat on, yeah.
42:42Rue finds a hop-to-trot stallion.
42:45Two things I really love about this.
42:47The animal.
42:49Secondly, the size.
42:51While Charles is pleased as punch.
42:54Cheers.
42:55I really rate her.
42:56I think it's a great lot.
