00:01The Moors are alive with the sound of money.
00:04At £1,300 it is. Anybody in the room?
00:07Just give them a nudge in the ribs, ladies, just...
00:09Because our favourite auctioneer is back with a bang.
00:14Angus's customers are happier than ever.
00:19And the jobs are bigger than ever.
00:22At the end of the rainbow, there's might be some treasure.
00:25With the help and support...
00:27Oh, I can't break!
00:28Of his talented team...
00:30I think it's in need of a bit of a tune.
00:32..he's taking on even more jam-packed hoes...
00:34Err...
00:35There's a lot, isn't there?
00:36..finding priceless treasures...
00:38Oh, my word! It's a box of gold!
00:40This is fantastic!
00:41..fascinating curios...
00:43How heavy is it?
00:44Oh, not too bad.
00:46..cherished collections...
00:48End of an era?
00:49Oh.
00:50Didn't really expect to get emotional then. No.
00:52..and family heirloos.
00:54Could that go to auction? That could go.
00:56Oh, you've made my day. Thank you very much.
00:58Then, using his knowledge and expertise...
01:01One of the highest orders of gallantry there is.
01:03..and his gift of the gavel...
01:05..at 1,550.
01:07You look tempted, sir. You do.
01:09..he delivers a fantastic...
01:112,000 pounds!

01:15..all done at 4,000!
01:17Ooh!
01:18..bonanza!
01:20I like it when it goes up like that.
01:22..Borada, Millie!
01:23Sorry?
01:24We're off to Wales.
01:25We're off to Wales?
01:26I've never been to Wales before.
01:27That's how you say good morning in Wales.
01:28Ah!
01:29Every day's a school day with Angus.
01:31He's taking Millie on a four-hour drive
01:32to the north Welsh town of Denbigh.
01:34Are some of these really old?
01:35No, they're new.
01:36All the old books are down the bottom.
01:37The histories of the inkers...
01:38..his...
01:42..the railway children...
01:49..mines.
02:02..they're meeting Simon.
02:03children mine they're meeting Simon and best pal Sue at the home Simon shared with his partner Andre
02:10this is Andre when he was young Oxford it's got dark hair because degree in French and ancient
02:19Greek I met Andre 1989 I was 23 he was 46 so it drives me age but we gone really well right from
02:29the beginning it was his humor the couple lived happily together in London for 15 years until
02:36Andre retired from his job in the civil service in 2004 we thought watch we get another house so
02:44we went everywhere we went up to Adrian's wall there was a house there that you wanted to have
02:48a look at this one in Scotland and then we came down and saw this it just fitted us it was perfect
02:54this was going to be our forever home for five years the couple lived out their rural retirement
03:02dream until Andre's health took a turn for the worse we knew that there was something wrong and it was
03:09dementia early stages I didn't know anything about it but I thought right let's go working in a
03:16dementia home I'll then have a better idea of what I'm going to be facing Simon took on a role in a
03:22local care home where he met sue who worked there too I met Simon and Andre about 15 years ago and
03:31we just become really good friends only the residents when he came to work absolutely loved him I learned
03:39so much it was a lovely job as Andre's health deteriorated over the next few years Simon became
03:47his full-time carer at home the thing that happens with dementia is that you you lose somebody bit
03:54by bit I didn't have my supportive partner anymore not his fault I had somebody that like a child needed
04:03my help you made that man's life really happy right till the last moment thank you he died at home sent me
04:11off to make a cup of tea fell asleep and died in his sleep that was really difficult but Andre was not
04:19the same man he was when I met him it's three months since Simon lost the love of his life but he's ready
04:28to begin the next chapter with a house move I put it on the market on a Friday ten days later it's sold I
04:35bought her a bungalow it's all happened so quickly with a downsize imminent and a lifetime of his and
04:43Andre's things to move on Simon knew exactly who to call right here we are there it is and bless him
04:51he's managed to keep a space for us what I wanted is the proper auction it's a way of safely getting
04:57rid of something that's going to be treasured this looks nice Millie hello how are we doing you're
05:12all right very well thank you we go to the kitchen what an incredible house thank you very much I'm
05:23guessing we're looking at the whole house are we yes I think so about from the attic down to the
05:28ground floor do you want to come and yeah I'd love to Millie do you want to think I'm gonna need some
05:32boxes yeah do you want to get those I'll go and look for the dogs while you two go and look there's
05:37so much you too the home is stuffed with potential goodies to sort through so Angus and Millie haven't
05:43a moment to lose is this to go Simon yeah I mean a tripod table very handy because the top tilts up
05:52you can push it to one side it doesn't take up that much space but the interesting thing about
05:57this table is this this square thing here with these lovely columns on it and then we call that a
06:03birdcage it literally does that yeah this 20 years ago the market for this sort of furniture was massive
06:13now not so much but it's a wonderful thing hopefully this Georgian birdcage table doesn't
06:20go cheap right should go upstairs then there are four floors and 42 steps here Angus upstairs sitting
06:29room so get used to them you'll get a proper workout today here we are wow I love this house so anything we
06:37can really take out of here the folio society books yes no folio society they still sell really
06:44well London publishing house the folio society is known for producing high quality illustrated hardback
06:51editions of classic books this is quite a collection you've got yes Andre love to collect them okay we
06:58will we'll get a lot of book shifted there are more than 250 folio society books heading to auction that
07:05will be split into three lots the largest of which will contain 16 boxes of classic novels
07:13i'll leave you to do your job thank you thanks what a house we're gonna have to work really hard
07:19today there's gonna be a lot of packing a lot of heavy lifting a lot of stairs me and millie are gonna
07:24be busy um so i'm guessing no time to take the weight of your feet then isn't this just wonderful ah
07:35as you were it's hard to date exactly but this this style of things sort of 16th 17th century and
07:41it's a lock box sometimes called nuremberg boxes after the german city they originated from these
07:49portable safes were used by high society folk for stashing valuables and that would have been the the
07:55cash box of the day if you like this one it looks if it's possibly come out of church when you look at
08:01the painting and actually the most elaborate bit is the bit you don't see is the locking mechanism
08:06inside they were elaborate mechanisms designed to fool any would-be robbers and keep everything safe
08:13but i just think it is a beautiful thing could be a couple of hundred pounds i would have thought
08:18wow and it could be over 500 years old good spot angus we can definitely find a home for that
08:28oh hey millie finding some nice bits yes lots of nice silver anything in particular caught your eye
08:33well i always love a vesta case and this is quite a nice example the vesta cases took their name
08:38from vesta the roman goddess of the hearth they had gods for everything the cases were used to carry
08:45matches and were a popular accessory in victorian britain they were a practical thing weren't they
08:50you keep your matches inside take one out and then they have a little strike on the bottom of course
08:54everybody smoked in that period didn't they so you needed matches this one was probably one that was
08:58designed to wear outside your pocket so it has a hook here so you would have hung this 19th century
09:04vesta case will be paired with a matching cigarette case from the same birmingham silversmith this is
09:11all adding up what are your plans for the money that angus raises for you simon when under his mum died we
09:18went to guernsey with his mum's ashes we've got lovely funny pictures of him with the urn under his
09:24so i was going oh she liked this area i think it's a two handful one so i thought do the circle the
09:32rest of his mum's ashes and all of andre's back to guernsey and you know with the auction i can
09:39actually afford without worrying too much i'd like to have a video when you go to guernsey you've got a
09:44pumpkin shoved under your arm and you're scattering poor andre all around guernsey he would have loved it
09:49wouldn't he you know that and they'll be together and it'll just be a nice full stop and it's the
09:56reason why ah this is really heavy milk over the next four hours i don't know what this is but we'll go
10:04with the games million angus hunt
10:08take hey millie hello got my pig unload with the ambition of eventually raising simon as much money
10:19as they can there's lots of things millie's doing a brilliant job and i'll get my step exercise in
10:26pack and load pack and load keep going
10:29after the smaller stuff is put on the van
10:37attention turns to the bigger stuff and under that little leg there kick you back straight
10:44all right just push her in there thank you there's just time for one last sweep what about the garden
10:51oh what have we got here no idea angus you're going to have to tell us i think it's the rhubarb
10:59forcer now rhubarb force is usually uh sort of a terracotta dome with a lid on it and it's for forcing
11:06rhubarb but what is forced rhubarb well it's grown in a dark controlled environment so it grows earlier
11:13in the season than traditional rhubarb does and it's pinker in color and sweeter in flavor so there is a big
11:20difference between force for rhubarb and unforced but people love rhubarb forces even if they don't
11:25grow rhubarb because they're just nice garden features the classic terracotta rhubarb forces they
11:32can do anywhere up to a couple of hundred pounds each this is a bit more decorative but it's also a
11:37bit more modern so i think 70 to 100 on this maybe it's a nice nice thing a great find get it on the van
11:47we are done
11:50wow this is wonderful thank you so much obviously we haven't cleared the whole house
11:57we couldn't get any more on the vans to be honest hopefully it's been a big step in the
12:01right direction for you oh absolutely i mean it's been very it's daunting this is exactly what you
12:06wanted oh thank you no no you're very welcome we'll hit the road okay and we'll see you up in yorkshire
12:14sure then thank you now they've gone i can start moving and then go to the auction yes that'd be
12:23exciting i'm looking forward to that it's been a long long day and a lot of steps but as much as
12:31we've physically grafted today the work starts back at the sale room naturally this is going to involve
12:36the whole team because we've got books we've got furniture there's all sorts let's get back to
12:40yorkshire now yep you get back to yorkshire where the team will need to pull out all the stops if
12:46we're going to help andre and simon return to guernsey
13:04we've got quite a full van today good good that's what we like simon and his late partner andre's
13:10things have landed safely in north yorkshire oh looks like there's some decent things there
13:17it all needs to be photographed and catalogued in plenty of time before the big day
13:35that's really sweet isn't an old music box well it's not actually an old one i think this one's
13:391950s it's a swiss made one and it's quite cool though because it comes with all kinds of different
13:45tunes like records they're really simple technology so they basically got a whole series of prongs on
13:50the back which are all finely tuned um to different notes this comes from a company called rouge their
13:56heyday was the 19th century obviously with the introduction of the gramophone and then later record
14:01technology you know these things fell out of favor a lot but then what you find is that sort of just
14:06after the second world war 1950s that kind of time there was a real resurgence and a real revival of
14:12interest in clockwork technology more generally but music boxes in particular and they became kind
14:17of like a luxurious gift it's very well made it's a nice condition as well isn't it it is that i can't
14:22really see much in the way of damage so i put somewhere in the region of 40 to 60 it might do a little
14:27bit more that's a bit different isn't it yeah these are great aren't they mark i mean they're just
14:37fantastic classic board games you know monopoly scrabble and cluedo but i mean these are super
14:43deluxe editions aren't they these aren't the ordinary game i don't think there's any household
14:47in the country that hasn't had monopoly in it it was actually in its earliest form created by elizabeth
14:53maggie although it was called landlord's game american inventor elizabeth maggie first patented
15:01the landlord's game designed to demonstrate the dangerous economic effects of land monopolism
15:07in 1903. and then a gentleman called charles darrow played at a dinner party he kind of went away
15:13tweaked it and presented it as his completely his own original idea which it wasn't fully and he sold it
15:19to parker brothers uh the the games company it was released in 1935 and it did a couple of hundred
15:25thousand sales in 36 it went on to sell over 1.7 million unbelievable sets and this particular board
15:33is made by franklin mint who paired with parker brothers to create limited edition versions of their
15:39games this board with a solid hardwood mahogany finish was released in 1991 with its unique velvet line
15:48drawers silver and gold plated pieces it made this one of the most premium sets on the market
15:55three nice sets these three lots yeah put one to 200 on that one yep and the other two 80 to 120
16:02something like that well if we get time later we'll uh we can have a go can't we
16:06come on my darling hey at least you're gonna enjoy this show simon and sue have traveled up with bulldog
16:19ronnie for the big day oh in the hallway i don't even know what was brought that's mine really
16:30interesting job had a great time doing this a fantastic mix of items they've got lovely memories
16:36they really have but they've not been played with i think things will sell well but you know is there a
16:41market for the board games i'd like to think there is ah i remember that yeah i hold up great hopes for
16:47this we kept checkbooks in there i'm really excited about that little strong box we've had loads of
16:53pre-sale inquiries on that say i'm quietly confident andre just loves to leave when he was young he didn't
16:59have that many books and so when he got older that's why we had just a few books so many books oh morning
17:07how are you doing you all right i bought the doggy as well i know and we're looking forward to it oh
17:13so much really i am and we've just looked around and just kind of go oh yes yeah that is and that

28:45century one a modern one this is what we call sort of a drumhead clock very typical of the late
28:50victorian period you know at that time the far east was a huge influence so that's typical of that
28:55period sort of the 1900s and sort of those influences coming back we'd sell those individually
29:01if it was a proper victorian one then it'd be quite a bit of money but it's a 20th century one

29:53advise the client properly you know there's no point just taking things if i don't think we can sell it
29:57because if it doesn't sell there's a charge so that's why i use my knowledge and expertise of the
30:02market to make that decision we will make an impact it might not be everything that they want to go but
30:07it's a major start it's a major start angus does take some paintings though on b's insistence
30:19including this big fella a homage to 16th century flemish painter willem van hecht and his famous
30:27depiction of the gallery of cornelius van der haste some of his originals have been known to sell for up
30:33to 300 000 in auction this will go for a little less but b should at least be happy angus is taking
30:41it we don't want her feeling the blues there we go he's got some musical instruments and this
30:49is the saxophone the saxophone was developed in the 1840s by adolf sax a belgium uh chap musical
30:57instrument maker and that's kind of where it was born and it's become an absolute classic it's an
31:03iconic instrument this was made in czechsovakia it's on the lower sort of value of saxophones
31:10some of them can be worth a lot of money some of the top end ones can be into the thousands this
31:14isn't going to be like that you know it's probably sort of 50 to 100 but more importantly it'll clear
31:20be some space so a good thing a good standalone lot and uh hopefully somebody will be paying the blues
31:28the van is starting to fill up we've got a lot away you know we've got a lot of stuff so
31:34hopefully she's all right yeah tri-dimensional chess i've sold one of those before they're okay
31:39and some space is clearing in the house that can go on the mountain beat what would make her day
31:46is finding a heavy hitter how are you getting on jack found much uh yeah found this little box of
31:53treasures box of treasures i like the sound of that jack uh jewelry and coins but there is an
32:00interesting little bag in there oh you tease jack sovereigns yes but not just sovereigns oh you big
32:09tease jack so we've got one two three sovereigns italian gold coin and a pendant mount oh that one's
32:15a bit different yep so that's called an iranian pavli right so that was around the 1940s it was made
32:20it's about the same as a sovereign but it's a golden coin palavi coins were the official gold coins of
32:27pre-revolution iran from 1926 to 1979 they had remarkably intricate designs for such a small surface
32:35area a regal portrait on one side and symbolic persian emblems on the other gold price being what
32:42it is i mean it's probably going to be a similar price to a sovereign woohoo as well as the palavi
32:49coin b has several english gold sovereign coins from the early and mid 20th century which could really
32:56top up that total on auction day you can't beat a bit of gold to be honest yeah well done jack perfect
33:02golden jack golden for another three hours the boys hunt investigate we've got some instruments
33:10we can do something with the clocks we can do something with wrap pack and load
33:22it's 45 years of my life it's not easy but it has to go well don't worry b the boys have finished
33:31and your ordeal is over hey we're all done good i know you wanted everything gone but hopefully
33:42we've made a big impact i mean there's there's a lot more space here so hopefully we've got a big step
33:47forward well me and jack will hit the road we'll get back up to that yorkshire and we'll see you on
33:53sale though thank you very much yeah thank you dobra that's the only you can forage word on

34:22hear more cries of veshto veshto that's take it take it in polish you'd better get all hands to the pump
34:29between now and auction day good morning new yorkshire auction house it's been a week since angus got
34:49back to kirby moore's side with bee's belongings that's quite cool and the team have been busy
34:54researching and valuing it all for auction because this has intrigued me now so we've got a nice
35:02little mixed lot of silver here nice little dish nice little pin tray but the most interesting thing
35:08is probably this little golf spoon absolutely charming a really really nice quality thing and
35:14it was probably made as a gift these things were often given as prizes on golf days some might be the
35:20longest shot you might have hit a hole in one we can tell from the makers mark on here this was made
35:26by uh famous mapping and webb very very good silver makers founded in 1775 mapping and webb has been making
35:34silverware and jewelry for 250 years and is also currently the crown jeweler for the king responsible
35:42for maintenance of the crown jewels you know it's a really good one because it's very very nice quality
35:48and this one's nice because it's actually from 1929 so you know it's a reasonably old thing the spoon
35:54will be offered with a silver dish and a silver pin tray very very nice little lot
36:09hello hello yeah is this one for the next set it is yeah some violins we know can make a lot of money we
36:14do but it's the maker's name you can hardly see it just in there benoit benoit fleury made his name
36:21as a violin maker in 18th century paris when france was at the epicenter of europe's age of enlightenment
36:28a period of scientific cultural and intellectual revolution now violins by this maker can make huge
36:36amounts of money i'm talking tens of thousands wait what i think we're going to put it in at a very low
36:41estimate because the condition it's split there yeah huge chunk out there huge chunks out there
36:49so it's what i would call a speculative lot so what kind of person would buy it in this condition
36:54it might be a specialist violin dealer that buys it because they can do the work that costs money
36:59but they've got the skills and expertise to do that to add value so then that they can retail it
37:03for a higher price it's very much come and buy me i wouldn't be surprised if it does a good price
37:08you're optimistic yeah yeah
37:18bee has come up from london hoping her first experience of yorkshire will be as good as our
37:23angus promised uh italian this is mine this is mine this this i didn't see them for 10 years
37:31she's got a really interesting mix of items she's got some really good jewelry with sovereigns gold
37:36prices are high they're going to sell really well some real value there this one is mine pictures
37:42gonna be very hit and miss so that might be the struggle i'm optimistic though and she's got that
37:47violin very very good maker the conditions against it but i think potentially should be a pretty good day
37:53i need to declutter my stuff so i hope somebody will find something that they like i like this stuff but
