00:00The Derbyshire auction house is back
00:06Irita Marriott now in her third year of business so far
00:10It's been rather good with her trusty team of porters look treasure trove we've got in here and
00:15valuers
00:16Do you ever think about anything else but furniture?
00:20Is being called out to even bigger jobs. This is insane. The word is out calling Andy and Nige
00:26She's the one who delivers the big bucks
00:301,500 to 2,000 pounds. That's amazing
00:33Leaving no stone unturned gosh, that's a big loft
00:38She hunts down treasures
00:4018 karat gold
00:42heirlooms have you ever seen those paintings no?
00:46And phenomenal finds hello. I think we're gonna score with this one. Is this the great train robbery? Yes
00:53To sell at auction
00:55Two thousand pounds is big no making her cherished clients three thousand pounds. Oh, you are kidding me
01:03Oh my god life-changing losing track of ammo
01:08sums of cash
01:09six thousand nine hundred pounds
01:11What? Whoa!
01:13No!
01:27Have you got any collectibles that you like to buy?
01:30I'm struggling to understand how I could develop a life around collecting
01:34Oh having to build more space. I can tell you how you got two kids
01:39Ship them out. You'll have their rooms free
01:43Blimey bit ruthless
01:44I can't actually believe you're wearing shorts and a t-shirt
01:49Have you looked outside the window and do it's summer, right?
01:53Yeah tropical
01:56We're going to see two siblings in Lancashire Heather and Jamie
02:04Do you remember the pink hat? I do remember the pink hat
02:06Where his ears were cold so he stole the hat off me
02:10This is 25 year old Jamie and his sister 23 year old Heather and they're at the family home
02:16They shared with mum Sally and dad David
02:19He was a very kind man. He loved being with the family
02:22David worked at a timber business for over 20 years
02:26Quite a lot of the time growing up he would be working away
02:29So we wouldn't see him during the week
02:31But then he'd made up for that by taking us on these crazy holidays like two or three times a
02:34year
02:36Seven years ago the family's world was turned upside down dad got diagnosed with cancer back in 2019
02:46He passed away on the 27th of June 2021
02:50David was just 55
02:53There was never a point where he'd get angry at the world or anything like that
03:00He just took it all in his stride
03:02He fought really hard. I think he wanted to be strong for us and for mommy never showed any weakness
03:13Five years on their dad's memory still fills their lives and so does much of what he left behind
03:19Dad just was a rampant collector and would not stop
03:23All sorts of different things from lots of immobiliate coins to corgi collection toys
03:30He wouldn't look at them. He'd just put them away and say eyes for your future
03:35Their dad was collecting with a purpose to one day selling them and making money
03:42For the kids that's great. It's kind of money in the bank that you can enjoy. Yeah
03:47Mom Sally can't be here today
03:49But with her blessing heather and jamie have called ireta to see if she can find new homes for david's
03:55things
03:56Because it's such a varied collection getting someone like ireta and who's such an expert is
04:01such a big benefit to us all and the money she makes you my plan is
04:07save and travel
04:09I want experiences out of the money because I feel like memories are better than any physical thing
04:14I've got plans for the future which you know involve moving down to london hopefully at some point
04:20And I feel quite lucky that we have this opportunity to set ourselves up dad would
04:25Be definitely looking down on us and happy to he's seen us doing what he loves to do and what
04:32we love to do as a family
04:38You open up i'll say hi
04:45Hello
04:45Lovely to meet you
04:47Nice to meet you too
04:48Lovely to meet you
04:49Come on in
04:50It is cold up here you know isn't it
04:53Oh right guys i believe you wanted me to come because you have some things of your dad's
05:01I thought his whole life he's been collecting so yeah the time's finally come where we
05:06want to get rid of it all are you okay with me going and exploring and then i'll give you
05:12a shout of
05:13course go for it yeah okay i'll see you a bit later
05:18i'm so ready to explore
05:22i've done 10 steps up the stairs no one said anything about any pictures
05:30this is a lithograph by henry matisse he was an artist he was born in france in late 1860s
05:40one of the most influential artists of the 20th century matisse's use of undisguised brush strokes
05:46and vibrant colors broke artistic conventions in 2018 64 years after his death his most expensive painting
05:55odalis coucher or magnolia sold for 80 million dollars that was an original of course this isn't
06:03it's a lithograph a copy so lithograph is a version of a print if you touch the prints it would
06:09be
06:09completely flat but if you touch a lithograph and run your fingers over it it would be ever so slightly
06:15raised because it is pressed not printed value wise i think it's probably lower hundreds
06:23how incredible would it be to own a piece that is by henry matisse let's hope the derbyshire punters agree
06:31with you ireta
06:41what's in here a little beautiful box full of coins and this is clearly related to world war ii
06:51and what each draw contains is all the coins that were used during those years it's worth money
06:59anything else catching your eye ireta six pences look at that the set of 32 sixpences will go into
07:07a large mixed lot that includes a nepalese one rupee bank note a german 50 deutsch mark note and various
07:13commemorative coins i think there's probably good 15 lots or so of coins that we will split up
07:21and put them as individual collector's pieces value wise i think we might be touching about
07:27a thousand pounds on all the coins ka-ching
07:32some great potential so far hopefully there's plenty more here that could raise some cash for jamie and heather
07:39they have been through so much passing on their dad's items it can't be easy it started so well
07:47with that lithograph those coins i'm excited about this one let's just hope that that carries on and
07:54i can find some more gems in there
08:03you're all right yeah i mean there's just so much football stuff i know it's crazy isn't it he was
08:08obsessed with the football stuff i don't know where he got half of these from because he's just bought
08:13shirts and they just acquired signatures dad was my football coach growing up up until i was about 20
08:20years old so that was a very big part of my relationship with dad he was more into the
08:25rugby but for my sake he would take me to old trafford to go and watch the big matches which
08:31i
08:31absolutely adored there are nearly 20 football rugby and other sports shirts in david's collection
08:37which will go into 10 lots the pick of the bunch being this replica 1968 manchester united european cup
08:44winner's shirt signed by united's tough tackling nobby styles what have you got in that i've just
08:50found these snooker balls lying around over there oh nice i think these are really cool they're all
08:56signed that's all the names of all the players my dad was absolutely obsessed he would always have it
09:01on the tv i mean there is some really good names like ronnie o'sullivan i mean higgins selby really world
09:10class these balls made in belgium by aramith were commissioned by the world snooker association to
09:17mark the embassy world championship final in may 2005. what was your dad like as a dad he was a
09:23really
09:24good man it must have been really difficult as a family to go through that it was a really really
09:30tough time for sure um it really brought us together as a unit he would love us doing this stuff
09:36oh he'd
09:36absolutely adore it this would be a dream come through to him he would be in that auction trying
09:40to buy you back oh you've got a hundred percent he would right i'll box up these awesome yeah i'll
09:46leave
09:46you to it then see you later
09:57and we've got some what looks like newspaper articles they're just decorative pieces isn't that fab i
10:07mean if you love liverpool football club this is something that you would just love to have on a wall
10:13in your man cave there are three framed newspaper pages all celebrating liverpool's 3-1 1977 european
10:21cup win against munchengladbach in rome i think it's worth tenner don't you for the next 90 minutes
10:30ireta and andy zip in and out of rooms here we go and up and downstairs
10:37collecting and loading all of david's collectibles wow that's a box until it looks like the day is
10:44done look at that i may have spoken too soon
10:57okay almost there andy's ready to call it a day but ireta's just called in another discovery
11:03heather are you there i am got a question yeah i'm guessing your dad did not buy these no he
11:12didn't
11:12i inherited them from my grandma and my great aunt and you've decided that you'll pass them on yeah i
11:20think so yeah do you know anything about them i don't actually know okay right let me get my tools
11:26out of my pockets and have a little look we've got a lovely little cluster it is beautifully hallmarked
11:3418 carat white gold that cluster up there usually in 18 carat gold they tend to be diamonds okay
11:43i actually got the tool for this what you want is the loudest beep possible okay and that will tell
11:49us whether the stones are diamonds or not it's good news any ideas what that could be worth no idea
11:59i think in auction if we put that in with an estimate of two to three hundred pounds
12:04not bad is that more than what you thought yeah it is more than what i thought yeah
12:10when it comes to the other one that is a little bit more simple yeah in nine carrots with a
12:16little
12:17sapphire scented i'll get these packed up thank you i'll see you down there well that's uh quite a load
12:25and now we are done all right guys come on in wow wow that's crazy it looks so different now
12:35it's all
12:35gone i think uh seeing all the stuff goes definitely better sweet that's it it's been a long time coming
12:41though hasn't it i think it's uh i think it's time dad will be looking down watching the auction 100
12:47percent front row seats for your first hour auction looking forward to it it's gonna be so
12:52good thanks arita we'll see you soon bye through the day i could really feel all the items leaving
12:59house pulling on jamie's and heather's heartstrings the biggest job that i have now is making sure that
13:06we find new homes for them get yourself home irita and let's put that plan into action
13:18there you go that's cool once it's all back in derbyshire the team must start researching and
13:24cataloguing the over 70 items in time for the auction i don't think there's a shirt out there
13:33in the world that relates to football that is more recognizable than this brazil and there's a magic to
13:39this shirt written right in front of it pele born in 1940 edson arantes do nacimento
13:47better known as pele made his international debut age just 16 and remains the only player to have won
13:54the world cup three times now if you are buying sporting memorabilia remember to check the authenticity
14:02on it because it really does matter on the price and in this example we have the registration number
14:09and the little label from the edge of there has actually been put on the back of the shirt so
14:15you know
14:16that that share belongs to that paperwork we are going to put this in auction with an estimate of 30
14:23to 50 pounds i think we're going to score with this one
14:33is that high enough for you
14:35now this is very very interesting
14:43norman is one of ireta's valuers usually her coin specialist this came from a shipwreck called the
14:50ssgs sopa and it's a 10 ounce silver ingot and it's got a stamp 4700 mbsl and that means
15:004 700 meters below sea level in february 1941 the ssgs sopa was returning to britain from india with 200
15:10tons of silver worth 150 million pounds in today's money the vessel was attacked by a german u-boat and
15:17sunk 300 miles from galway harbor of the 86 crew just one survived you fast forward about 70 years
15:27um a salvage crew recovered about 90 odd percent of the silver some of it was kept by the salvage
15:34company
15:34and the other 20 percent and a lot of it went to the royal mint where they made 20 000
15:42coins and they
15:44are collector's items now in their own right and the other silver was made into ingots like this
15:51an estimate of 150 to 200 pounds for this fascinating piece and a lot that also includes a booklet
15:58documenting its history it's a lovely piece it's a lovely collector's item and with the poignant
16:04story of the sailors losing their lives i think it really is something to treasure and collect
16:17you'll have the same problem with that another clock that's fine you're right at the assembly rooms

23:53valuer david are making the 160 mile trip southeast to the essex coast have you sailed ever no no not
24:01properly i couldn't do it i would be seasick instantly really yeah yeah time got no sea legs at all
24:11what is that i don't know it's fascinating they're meeting lynn and her partner suzanne i love the tray
24:21isn't that pretty yeah suzanne and i met 15 years ago we both worked at the same college and we've
24:27been
24:27together ever since we have yes today they're at the home that used to belong to lynn's auntie margaret
24:34and her uncle bill uncle bill was in the foreign office and margaret was an editor she was a journalist
24:40she wrote for newspapers always very eloquent uncle bill and auntie margaret never had children of their
24:47own and because i'm uncle bill's niece i was just very close to them and then when suzanne came along
24:54she was welcomed into the family as well sadly in 2017 bill developed pneumonia my uncle died about
25:03nine years ago and then when he passed we still came up and visited auntie margaret and then we noticed
25:10that her memory wasn't quite so good and she started referring to uncle bill as him auntie margaret's
25:19dementia is now quite advanced and then about eight months ago she actually had a fall at home
25:24broke her hip went to hospital and we were hoping she'd come home but unfortunately has had to move
25:30into a care home and obviously the house needs to be sold to pay for it so the sale of
25:35any of the items
25:36at auction and the sale of the house are all gonna go towards paying for margaret's care
25:42well you're in the safest hands in the biz i came here as a child oh did you i did
25:48and got stuck
25:49on the mud luckily i was rescued up to my waist in brown mud let's hope you're up to your
25:56waist in
25:56treasures today the house is quite big isn't it
26:06lovely to meet you nice to meet you too come on in what a fantastic place thank you this is
26:14the
26:14living room i mean i can see quite a few nice bits of furniture and then my aunt had quite
26:19a bit of
26:20jewelry she was quite glamorous in the day there's a lot of silver which my uncle used to collect so
26:25there's quite a bit of that upstairs should we start there yep right you can lead the way thank you
26:35oh the stairs got a bit of a wobble right so this is um the master bedroom okay i mean
26:43there are some
26:43lovely things here you know you've got silver letter opener a salver a little trinker box do you know
26:51why he liked silver perhaps they're small they're portable yeah and they're not too expensive to buy
26:56generally hmm fingers crossed some of these hold value though but i think this is the one piece out of
27:02all of those that's a punch later right so punch was really popular during the late 1600s early 1700s
27:12and that is when majority of these were made and it became a bit of a status thing you know
27:18having
27:18hot punch and having a ladle that everybody could use punch began its journey in the 17th century
27:25traveling from india to britain aboard ships of the east india company whose sailors survived scurvy
27:32thanks to its citrus content by the 18th century punch houses were thriving in london where communal
27:39bowls encouraged conversation celebration and sometimes a little scandal as trade expanded across
27:45the atlantic rum from the caribbean transformed recipes and punch became a staple served at everything
27:51from tavern gatherings to political meetings there are hallmarks just right in the middle can you see
27:56that yeah they have been cleaned to the death basically you can barely barely make out that they
28:04were there and that will affect the value if the hallmarks were readable you talking 100 150 pounds
28:13but as it is it will have to be kind of 30 to 40. every little helps okay that is
28:19definitely one to
28:20take good there are four lots of silver items here including this george v silver salver that's a tray
28:27with feet to you and me plus a silver picture frame dated 1911 accompanied by some silver fish knives and
28:34forks from 1933 am i all right to explore of course you are fill your boots well this is a
28:40good start
28:41hey irita what an absolutely eclectic mix of items uncle bill's silver collection some lovely little quirky
28:48things i can't wait to see more
29:00lovely awesome irish irish bits and bobs this is absolute classic when it comes to irish heritage
29:12and jewelry like this is referred to as clogger jewelry from a little fishing village near galway
29:17city in ireland the two hands represents friendship the heart represents love and the crown on top of
29:25it is loyalty attributed to a galway goldsmith called richard joyce it's believed the cladder design was
29:32based on older roman feed or faith rings which just had the two clasped hands that brooch is nine
29:39carat gold set with a tiny little hard stone inside the heart i think that will do well and i
29:46love
29:47it surely there are more romantics in the world than just me they were quite a stylish couple she
29:53was absolutely devoted wasn't she oh and he was devoted to her she kept every single birthday card
29:58you'd ever sent her and there's even more jewelry to get the heart racing including a full sovereign
30:04nine carat gold pendant and a mid-20th century nine carat gold wristwatch get these on the van david
30:13where's he got to this one's interesting that's nice that's uh like a 19th century um oil and linen
30:22it's very detailed they'll clean up really nicely the black frame was very much in vogue in the victorian
30:29times so that that dates it to around 1860 1870 this painting looks similar to works created by a
30:38german artist at the time wilhelm friedrich gustaf hasmann who created detailed romanticized
30:44depictions of rural black forest life with no signature though it can't be proved to be by him
30:50so it will go into the auction with a tag in the style of hasmann i think this will do
30:56really well at
30:57auction someone will buy it and it'll be really loved again uh once it's cleaned and um back on the
31:02wall
31:10arita look i've just found this is that what they call moklin ware yes i mean classic tourist
31:16ware from scotland known as moklin ware after the area in airshire where it was developed
31:22these decorative pieces typically made from sycamore which is easy to work with and smooth once
31:28finished feature iconic scottish images or designs sealed under a layer of clear lacquer i don't know
31:35what they are needles well obviously that's handy for keeping your knitting needles yeah moklin ware was
31:41made between 1820s and 1939 and he was incredibly popular everybody wanted a piece 10 15 years ago that
31:51would have been a single lot in auction but in the recent years there's been quite a big decline in
31:57it and i think what we're going to have to do is find other tourists where potentially yeah and combine
32:02it in a lot the moklin ware will join a lot with 13 other fascinating vintage curios thanks for bringing
32:10that all right over the next few hours it's nice irita and david track down and pack up anything that
32:20will sell oh that's beautiful with over 60 possible lots collected mind your back the van is filling
32:27up nicely isn't that exquisite but this house has more treasure to give up
32:39you know what i love bits of furniture like that cute isn't it this is cute yeah i know hand
32:45painted
32:46detail that decorative detail is inlay fine pieces of contrasting wood each carefully line cut and fitted
32:53by hand in the victorian era techniques like this signal taste and prosperity this cabinet's made of
33:00mahogany most likely from the central rainforests of south america and dates from the early 20th century
33:06if you think about all this inlay and the amount of time it took to make it craftsmanship
33:12it's lasted 120 years i think it can be re-loved again yeah i mean it's not worth a fortune
33:18is it no
33:1920 to 40 i think we should definitely take it and definitely put it on the van because it will
33:24find
33:24a new home rather than see it go to waste it may not be worth a fortune but if it
33:29helps towards paying
33:30for the cost of auntie margaret's care all the better and with all that packed onto the van we are
33:36done
33:37right i just want you to have a peek in here that's amazing there's so much stuff in there
33:43fabulous yeah how are you found today it is hard because obviously all of that meant something to
33:49my uncle and aunt somebody else will treasure these won't yeah oh yeah well i hope so yeah
33:54should we do it yeah go on then it won't be too long before you see it off back at
34:01the auction
34:03today was really interesting a bit emotional it was fascinating actually a good fun although
34:10it has been hard i know that margaret trusts me to do the right thing for her it has been
34:16an
34:16absolutely fantastic day a day of discovery but now the hard work starts back to melbourne
34:23and make sure that we make enough money to be able to put it towards margaret's care
34:41we're nearly there yet oh ireta's team is hard at work making sure every item from lynn's aunt and
34:48uncle is carefully researched and photographed ready for auction i'm just cataloguing this lovely cameo
34:55brooch this is ireta's valuer sarah they go back all the way to the roman period and even the greek
35:02period back then they were carved into stone or clay but this one is from the victorian era
35:10it's made from shell and you would not see a shell cameo in the bc or early ad period the
35:19victorians
35:20favored helmet shells for their cameos because once scraped away the top layer of these shells reveal a
35:26different tone underneath giving the final carving a three-dimensional effect it's been mounted into
35:3218 karat gold i put an estimate of 150 to 200 pounds on this one i think that's a lovely
35:39piece of
35:39jewelry and i hope it does really well this has been an absolute joy to handle this is a piece
35:54of
35:55equipment to reduce bubbles in your sparkling drinks it's a swizzle stick the roaring 20s was the era of
36:03the cocktails because ladies actually managed to have a little bit of independence for the first
36:09time during the first world war in britain the number of women in paid employment nearly doubled
36:15with almost 5 million earning by 1918 in the 1920s new legislation enabled women to go to university
36:23and become teachers nurses and doctors an increase in wages brought the chance to occasionally spend more
36:29frivolously they liked their cocktails and things like this prevented them from passing gas okay i
36:38didn't know women could pass gas but i did know stirring or swizzling champagne breaks the surface
36:43tension of champers releasing the carbon dioxide into the air these are rather collectible but this
36:49particular one it's made out of nine karat gold we have estimated it at 120 to 180 pounds and i
36:57am
36:57pretty certain that the beds will not be fizzling out
