Antiques Roadshow: Keswick (2000)

we're in the Lake District surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery that not just Britain but the whole of Europe has to offer one of the lakes and the widest of them all is Derwent water running directly north to south there are really two ways of appreciating this great national park the first is to stand on the peaks and look down on the legs or do it the other way around allow the boat to do the hard work and enjoy the ever-changing scenery as it passes you by dominating the northern half of the lake behind me is skid or one of the highest of the peaks overlooking the small town of Kazik and that's where we're heading today [Music] although Hill farming is important to the lakes and some mining has gone on in the past there is only one industry of real significance and that's tourism in a town like Kazakh it seems that every second house offers accommodation the many thousands of visitors who come here every year winter and summer high days holidays half terms and weekends the Lake District is a magnet of beauty an irresistible force of gravity that draws people from all over the country and it's precisely because of that great natural beauty that the Lake District has attracted dozens of painters poets and writers Keats and Wordsworth lived here and so too did the 19th century poet laureate Robert savvy savvy shared this house Greta Hall with his fellow poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge to whom he was related by marriage it was a tempestuous relationship with Coleridge beset by money problems gradually being overcome by opium eventually he left the Lake District but saw they remained to continue to enjoy the inspiration of the landscape of Skiddaw he wrote alone thou standest monarch of the scene thou glorious Mountain on whose ample breasts the sunbeams loved to play the vapors love to rest well this then is the magnificent setting for today's Antiques Roadshow our home for the day is the Hall of Kecak school so let's now join our experts with the people of this part of Cumbria my father-in-law died about four years ago when we inherited it and he had it in time from his skull his father so it's been in the 60 years 60 years when I know we're not getting back 300 years it's the sort of thing that you would I think traditionally would have been called 20 30 years ago Queen Anne but we're learning now to date these pieces far later than originally and there are new ideas new publications coming out and research that this is probably even as late as 1740 or 1750 so 40 50 years after the traditional Queen Anne period added to that this is a very provincial shape you've got this rather wide exaggerated corner here which is a little bit too heavy and big for these rather slender cabriole legs but I like the legs I mean this lovely shale carving we've got on both sides here typical scallop shell which you see right throughout the early part of the 18th century and then a husk here and that lovely scroll on the cabriole a that I love that that's such a nice piece of detail you know it's carved out of solid wood not added on and it's survived all this time if I can get this to turn around now here's the magic when you open this you see the way this opens out here and creates a nice even surface without a lot of broken line that is known as a concertina action and that makes quite a difference to the piece but looking at and it's a nice added feature of being an original table as well and the metalwork is fine if you look at these little bits here you've got nice little handmade iron latches here with the original hinges slightly crews like provincial all been made in local blacksmith shop I can't tell you where this has made but I'm sure it wasn't made in a London workshop or big grand workshop and that's why we've got this rather odd looking blue souvenir on the top I first thought it might have been river near but I walked up to it but now I don't think it is it's just a very provincial piece but what is so nice when you open this up you've got the traditional features here these rounded corners is why they're so exaggerated for a candle so we're talking about the days of no electricity very poor lighting indeed and of course this you know what these are for don't you let's try it so I've put my gillies down there the guinea pits fortunes were lost and one on tables like this in the 18th century what do you think it's worth well I really have no value and you know for us it's just a part that we don't we love it as a piece of furniture but I have no idea at all well if it didn't have a concertina action it might be 2 or 3 thousand pounds but I think we have to put a little bit more on it ten thousand pounds that's what it expected to cost in a shop today really it's a lovely piece of charming early furniture well thank you so much who'd you tell Perth well I came up to kazakh by train the question I'm going to ask you is did I come through this tunnel know that it branched a tunnel that was no longer in existence it's at Whitehaven which is about 25 mile down the road down the course fantastic so a local scene on what appears to be an egg that's a darning a darning it that's right yeah which is something very very peculiar to this area okay we do various work do you do lot of darling no no I was yeah obviously the ancestors it once did you interject power the user I wouldn't know what you say the answers is I'm going to ask you do these initials jws mean anything when surely to supply I calmly should adore and I win and I think that could be a tea so it is on family peace it's a family peace from White Haven where the word pot is in fact one of the earliest Potter is I think was actually established by a distant member of the wedge we found the error and went to it but we're looking at something that's far more recent obviously with the arrival of the Train and looking on this side the arrival of the times because here we have a lad selling newspapers so the times and the locomotive together would date this to the period you would expect for a piece of white hanging Porsche which would be somewhere between 1840 and 1860s as 150 years old it is thought that they will use mainly for darning that's very very thick - songs so what you do is you stick your egg down this very thick top and the bulb gives you the pressure that you need to to down the song and the holes at each end one hole there one hole there well you certainly expect one hole because a hollow object like this has to have a vent when it's being fired in the kiln two holes because they were actually given as love tokens they're also given appropriately I think on birthdays and marriages the donning egg would have been suspended through a braid through through the center it's a lovely thing it appeals on two basic counts first of all it's very local it's peculiar to the become cumberland area and the other thing is suppose it appeals to railway enthusiasts so it's got two things going for it but I think it's the first of those two things that's going to make this worth somewhere between 600 and a thousand pounds 600,000 very nice - I've done all the socks now my wife will be delighted so tell me who's got the other urn looked at home because Victoria lopevi do touch it all together but you have got the pair because they so frequently it happens that they got separated but a lot of this type of clock elaborate clocks were made with a matching pair of arms the great thing about this particular group is the stunning amount of workmanship have you got any any particular family as John just told that it was made for a big exhibition in Polish yes it is elaborate enough to have been made for an exhibition if we can take the urn itself the interesting detail on the work is that this technique here is based on a Chinese technique called trussoni enamel and that was made by inlaying brass onto grass little to the plaza cells and they filled them up with enamel but the French revived this technique in the 19th century and they did it by what they call short nerve a level in other words they would cast and engrave the brass work in put the enamel into little cells that were left fire it in the in a kiln and then polish it but here the influence is not Chinese at all it's actually Persian and that's very unusual Persian designs like our best design the other fascinating thing about the urns is the amount of workmanship that's gone into the gilding now that the gilding techniques honest wood was by fire guilty which means that you dissolve gold in mercury you apply it onto the surface of the metal which is highly cleaned burning it over charcoal but afterwards you then have to treat the metal surface in various ways to get the various finish for instance we can see on the head of the lady that is very softest gold not shiny and that would have been done probably by using a group of wires and pounding the surface to give it a sort of embossed nor a soft finish and then burnishers would have been used to get this very high finished decoration it's a stunning piece of work and they've repeated it throughout the clock which has got the same details and you can see I think very well on the cherubs how you've got the two different decorative techniques on the gold work and it never had glass domes because again they used to have they used to put these clocks under glass domes to protect them and the way this is to survive now a student had been under a glass dome alternatively perhaps in a non-smoking household that didn't have dirty coal fires because that's funny I don't claim it did you like it how did you clean it why'd you use bitter spirit well if used very carefully in my diary coming on that Walker got very carefully in the light smooth chorus well you've done a splendid job usually I'm gonna say if you'd use metal polish and a shot you because that's people do they metal polish something wrecks all right well they're lovely I suppose I better give you a bit of evaluations I certainly think they're in such fine condition that a starting price would be at least three thousand pounds well this picture is something of a mystery it seems to be of two children on a beach or by the sea who seem to be fighting engaged in some sort of altercation over what this boy is carrying I should assume the boy has taken something a little girl oh you think he's stolen but I think it's the virus technique yes and this would explain why for he is the bold unbidden board boy this label down here at the bottom oh well the sign yeah yeah it's like on Stonier class who is a Belgian 19th century painter it's dated 1870 it's a nice condition slightly dirty but all this is very nicely painted an observer to the force that the Victorians were very fond of into senility is this a family picture another law baby can i husband ten years ago but where she got it from I've no idea although glass is not a big name Belgium is is well-known in these pictures do appear in sales and this would make two or three thousand dollars that's thank you very much I've been collecting this sort of thing for while I suppose in sound about 15 in a very amateurish sort of way my contemporaries again we're collecting foreign stamps probably in coins now I was sort of collecting this type of weaponry if you like it's a British long land pattern musket yes and popularly known by the troops as brown bess believed to be from the process used to protect the barrel from rusting and browning which I suspect was worn off very quickly by lots of polishing for the sergeant majors inspection pencils of brick dust and best probably a corruption of the German word book so meaning gun this was the British soldiers firearm from about 1700 to well into the 1840s in India this example is interesting because it still retains its great long barrel which is just short of 46 inches and a lot of these were cut down officially because they are found to be unmanageable and to find one with the full length of barrel is very rare and also if you look on the tail of the lock which is very distinctively shaped its collectors Colin banana shaped locks because they have this sort of lovely fluid curve as they as they come towards the 19th century they straighten out a lot but these ones from the mid 18th century are really very very curved it's actually got a date of 1740 - and the word tower which refers to the Tower of London which was the nation's main Arsenal where it would have been made and I say made it would actually have been put together from a kit of parts which would have been applied by contractors to the Ordnance yeah who would then when they decided a fact they want some more muskets they would issue say a hundred sets of parts to people who are known as set us up because they set them us give up and this was carried by British redcoats and they were very efficient with it three rounds a minute yes absolutely devastating British musket true husband with that on the end it was a very effective hand-to-hand weapon and the drill position of the day was charged your bandits breast-high and that would have produced this hedge of Steel which would have taken very brave men to run on - yes I think that this it's not in the best of condition but then you don't see them so I think somebody would pay three three and a half thousand for this good heavens this reads castle cottage sorry near ambleside May the 18th I assume it must be 1934 I have pleasure in recommending Morris Frost who has been gardener for my mother the late mrs. Potter it was inevitable coming to this part of the world we should end up with some Beatrix Potter letters and here is not only one but two she signs herself HB heedless Mrs W heedless which was post and married day that's right not only do you have this one but you have yes another one yeah dated the same which is completely it's undoubtedly she read them out twice and didn't do pick up or anything like that no but there's not in such good condition already on sticky tape that's fast if tell me who was Morris frost my father he worked to be a Jewish process and mother 1928 yes and so this was when she died I see yes and these are all the wonderful photographs yes that he did yes I must say he kept in absolutely wonderful war yes it really is quite incredible well it's so much fun to be back with Beatrix Potter and the better side here's a lovely Christmas card and she has also signed it here well a letter like this it's wise it's going a little bit at the edges it's not in too bad a condition would be worth somewhere between eight hundred and a thousand this is not in such good condition Garcia yeah say let's say any sort of 500 for that and again for the Christmas card I suppose some six or 700 pounds for that it's a wonderful little collection yes it's a wonderful wonderful object a sort of sarcophagus okay it could be a little too good but it's very much a late Regency form and with these exaggerated and cut popping spindles applied on the top all covered in rich Morocco and tools just in the same way as you would on a beautiful vellum covered book in the library yes so the book binders art is very much in evidence on the exterior of this box we open it up and you see of course it's the most gorgeous ruby gilt Morocco interior which would have been the color scheme outside yeah it would have had all this gilding would have existed on the outside surface it's just got dirty and discolored outside but it hasn't cracked and it hasn't split which is wonderful and this really gorgeous incredibly rich interior would have been the effect throughout you've got a little needle case there lovely color scheme on that where no light has got at it yes cut steel beams applied to the top what does it being a pair of scissors in there yes probably I think I might be guilty what you didn't lose them when you were chatting with you do you remember being total dreadfully my my mother oh no taking them in the garden so somewhere in your old childhood garden there's a nice pair of Georgians steel for this and you didn't use it after that at all I've never actually used it myself no because it's not really very practical from you know everyday darling once off this is it no well we should have underneath the usual front drawer there we go very nice mahogany lined draw and what have we got in here to be a bolt of materials I guess all in its lovely tissue paper lots and lots lots of multi colored silks Wow okay that long lovely on there isn't that fantastic such vibrant colors as you see a piece of embroidery today that's faded in dowel very often these would have been the colors that were originally word yeah absolutely wonderful but it's a wonderful example of how that raw silk look early in the 19th century I've never seen this before actually the survival of so many schemes in one sort of run have you any idea what it might be worth I have no idea at all it's in brilliant condition and I'm pretty sure you get at auction maybe 1,500 to 2,000 that sort of price worth looking after it if I just looked at the drawer it'd be almost quite difficult to tell what nationality this piece of furniture is there's a good oak draw with a mahogany facing in England this is quite an early dovetail of around 1700 1750 let's say that I can't be precise about it but to me it's clearly from Europe young but need Dutch antecedents or anything like that no it's typical of Dutch furniture and let's just look at how it works first as I like this type of writing surface but it's a cylinder so does it work in conjunction I suppose here push there again is it going to work yes that's very nice so it's weighted together so when you pull this out here it opens the cylinder that's nice the trouble is these sinesses themselves are never that popular so it does keep the price under the more conventional angle Bureau and the problem is also that they often don't work I've known it since the 1920s and it's never been right right right well that comes to date it's about 1800 to 1820 and it's absolutely typical of Dutch craftsmanship the Dutch were the people who introduced cabinet making to England in the 17th century they were the best cabinet makers they came over with William of Orange the Dutch prince who became King King William of England and a hundred years later they were peaking of it they weren't as good cabinet makers we were by then better cabinet makers so this is slightly crude provincial piece it's not a behave or Maine town it's a slightly provincial area of the Netherlands the Low Countries it was described as faded in the Haggadah what does that mean but that's so nice you see this is like this I like I mean this faded color here is patination that's adding value back onto it and if you've got rid of this or stripped it off or republish it it would go down in value so the fading is an added plus imagination but let me just point out the Dutch features that you can see on your side you've got this angled or canted pilaster yes you've got this box wood inlay to make it look like a column and then we join up with this if you like a check or dental molding is that yes yes it is it's ebony and probably difficult to see it's so faded it's probably tulipwood so it would look quite rich and striking very much more so even than today and it's rather lovely rather sweet apron here which almost reminds me of a cloth over a table would you go back to Dutch 17th century two paintings with these carpets draped over a table it's that sort of feeling of upholstery in a way so Dutch in the early 1800 exactly very early at your house 1800 let's spread the difference 1800 oh that I would say 5,000 pounds from Charles what are you ready the only thing I know is that it's about a hundred years old it was a great Humpty's she kept a planted right it's not kept apart until well Oh until this morning oh really hmm well this is the most magical little object you know what it's for partly moving on well this is a bleeding Bowl this is a very old beating of oh this is the sort of thing you've been restoration England you went into a barber shop as a man or go to a barbershop you might be bled or somebody black you've bled with this and the bother going to here this is what it's for this piece dates from about 1680 and they don't come on the market very often though based on a silver shape contemporary silver shape there's nice heart shaped piece here but such an object that's it they're so vulnerable they just don't survive so the last one may have Oh years ago made 5,000 pounds of this one is going to make probably between seven and eight or maybe more thousand partners they are she will be pleased oh that's xxxx she won't put the plug in it again well here's a pencil made here in Kazakh and in the pencil factory the famous factory made during the war and issued to RAF air crew what's so special about this pencil inside the top underneath the the rubber is a very small compass if you look at this one then you can see inside it as I pull it apart is a very tightly rolled map of Germany it's a proper pencil at that end and the compass would be under the rubber at the other end and this is an example of the map itself remarkable what's the map actually made from it's a very fine tissue paper it has to be fine purely simply to roll up into the confined bottle of the pencil it's so detailed isn't it you can see all the main roads the railway lines the main cities the big towns the borders of Germany I mean you can quite understand how with this and a compass you could affect an escape and it was very secret work I assume or suggest it was during the war they was only the senior management who were entitled to make the product they had to sign the Official Secrets Act and they did it after work so the pencils were made during normal working hours as normal pencils and they were drilled out and filled and sent off to the War Department because it was all classified a secret do we know whether in fact these were ever used to effect an escape I believe they were I also believe that the Germans didn't get to know about it they didn't get and I didn't have to know about it so it's remained a secret really to this day indeed yes yes wonderful story did you push your babies along in this prom no it's actually amazing to me how modern it is in design but it would have had two big wheels at the back yeah because it was illegal to push a pool we all fear to along the footpath in Victorian times it would have been made of leather but of course this is actually American talk to the cheaper substitute and I think they were probably not very comfortable and it's certainly seen better days but it's a great survival of the era I thought it was and I should have not really from the extra and in this condition it's only going to be worth about a hundred pound this year but much more if it was in good condition thank you well I bought your deduction about three years ago so this is coming through the ride you know much about Remington in his background very little but here is a man from a comfortable family in New York born in about 1861 I think he went to Yale art school and then discovered the Wild West and went out to seek his middle-class background and went out and lived with the Cowboys went to Kansas City is the epitome I think to us Europeans of the Wild West when he invested in a saloon and was cheated out of all his money yes and ended up going back to New York with three dollars in his pocket so he had a colorful life but here is a man who's incredibly talented he actually first started doing the sketches and bought hundreds of sketches back to New York of his Wild West adventures and then he discovered towards the end of the century in his what late 30s that he can actually model in clay and was a very good model in clay as we see here and actually then rebuilt his fortune and made a lot of money with bronzes like this but I think you've given me my biggest headache of the Antiques Roadshow hi where do we start there are one or two things I don't like about it but I don't like is the fact that it doesn't say copyright nor anywhere unless I've missed it can I see the foundry stamp Roman bronze foundry where his foundry but this is the first of his beginning of his lost wax process yes it should have that on it however having said that the foundry itself were allowed to make a few models after the originals were destroyed on by his widow or to not be destroyed but they made some what the Americans called midnight copies so later on I adore illegal backdated exactly but then the mass of them the ones that we generally see are made in the last 20 or 30 years which one is this I don't like this bent gun yeah of course it could be bent in transport the one here that to me looks like it's bent in the in the cast again and that's not a good sign do you notice here there's a little drip yes that's a drip of wax when it's been cast yes I would like to think that Frederic Remington himself if you'd have seen this would have had that clean well go so there are things that I don't like about it doesn't add up having said that there are some 15 to 18 original cars we don't know precisely how many cars they were made even more tantalizingly we don't know precisely where all those 15 to 18 cars are yes so there may be some still around in a private hands even more tantalizingly of those 15 or so some of the cars that are in museums even American museums they're now discovering a fakes as well okay so the record is wide open here we just do not know yes the expertise is in America one cannot pretend that and I don't use anyone here who would tell us categorically whether it's right or wrong and I'm certainly not putting my neck on the line before a chemical analysis is done so where do we end up how do we deal with it right we have a nice bronze in respective of the price it's good a thing to look at but it's a decorative object even if it was brand new it's got to be three or four thousand pounds surely but it might be one of the midnight cup I'll leave you one very sobering thought but I'm not trying to over value this will give you an impression of what this is worth at all the first one of these number one made you were waiting for this one four million dollars go to the dollar thank you very much thank you very good yes well we will start at the very beginning this is a magnificent royal album who is DMA Jomon of Lyon great uncle David money Anderson David Mary Anderson and he was the pollen or Commodore for the Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert it really is absolutely amazing did he collect all these himself this is his album yes yes and here's the royal family here this is a wonderful picture a Queen Maud Princess Victoria and the children is dear old Queen Alexandra there and it's rather interesting to see this one here with the Empress of Russia who was empress before Nicholas and Alexandra came to the throne that's rather interesting a king haakon and of course they were all related yet to the British royal family this is quite remarkable I must say this one has the entire Russian royal family the one that was actually murdered we've got Edward the eighth here at Queen Mary Queen Alexandra the Russian Emperor his son lazarevich Edward the seventh and this one here is Anastasia then we have the Empress and then we have Georgia v who looked very much like bizarre they both wore the same sort of mustaches and beards and this Princess Marie here on the end that is a very rare photograph and a wonderful one to see here today and I like these ones here to these ourselves aren't they the best these are two princes princess margarita and Dora of Greece there they are sliding down the stairs on the Royal Yacht somebody's put a cushion for them on the stairs at the top and then just sliding down and the horses as ladylike as possible do you have a favorite in this version yes I think they're absolutely tremendous here is Prince Albert who of course later became jaws a six there is Princess Mary named after her mother Queen Mary and she became Princess Royal and there again we have another picture of Edward the eighth Bertie as he was called not in terribly good condition that one but really absolutely wonderful and what happened to him when he went when he left the Royal Yacht did he have a life afterwards yes he became governor-general he died actually your governor-general of New South Wales so he went on to have a very distinguished career and I do love this we've got this menu here for Portsmouth Harbor on the 22nd of July 1910 the thing about Royal menus is they all seem to eat rather a lot don't they and I believe in Queen Victoria's day who ate very fast but if you didn't keep up with her you had it taken away very quickly and this is a particularly nice one with a little sort of reproduction of a watercolor of the Victoria and Albert and again they seem to immediate awful lot it doesn't say what they drank there well you've got hundreds of hundreds of pictures here many of them royal I would say for an album like this I'm very excited by myself I think it's tremendous I would have to say between eight and ten thousand pounds he knows the whole right of assembly well it's a good-looking bowl it's a shame about the box have you got anything better at home yes there is a very nice box but it was inaccessible it's in my cousin's attic why do you keep it in it because it's on display on a bookcase mustn't oh I see the ball was actually on display yeah well tell me where you got it well it doesn't actually belong to me it's my mother's and it came down through her side of the family it was my great-great grandfather's he gave it to his wife in 1901 and he bought it in Japan on one of his voyages he was on earth one of the shipment the shipping lines from Liverpool but first like what we have is a European shape this is a completely unjam knees idea this serrated rim is almost like a cut glass bowl and then this stem is peculiarly unoriented completely and utterly European and style but then the painting now what painting this is absolutely stupendous okay this is the ball that ought not to be sort of standing up on a sideboard but it's the sort of thing you really have to look at almost with magnifying glass it's very detailed but the painting on here these peonies in this garden is absolutely gorgeous and the gold has been put on very end and nothing has been spared here beautiful thing the whole thing then takes place against this dense iron red meter fury ground and then we come around this side and we have an outer doors party of young ladies a child out enjoying themselves in a Pine Grove is beautiful absolutely stunning but then you know inside that's where it really happens that is superb painting in fact you have a painter in the garden being watched by a number of children and an old man and there is his pot of brushes fantastic detail and all of these clouds down in this mine mute want a list building technique is superb tour-de-force I suspect it was an exhibition piece I really do I think it's such high quality understand that it was it was shown in an exhibition and it won a prize oh really yes which exhibition do you know I don't know which exhibition but the exhibition was on at the time when my great-great-grandfather was fair and he he quickly had a look and he decided to buy this as it had won a prize well that's a pretty good thing to buy isn't it because this is absolutely top of the range the Japanese today actually acknowledge how amazing some of these export where pieces were and will pay a lot of money for so I always think today a ball of this caliber is probably going to be worth between three and five thousand pounds well this picture takes us straight back to the world of Jane Austen's novels - Pride and Prejudice and mrs. Bennet and it's a watercolor portrait and it's by an artist called buck Adam buck it's signed here 1827 I assume it's a it's a family thing my husband's family and who was the was the old lady the lady was the grandmother of the three children she is looking at us she's holding a letter and it says am address what's the background that I believe her son and his wife went to India I think they may have been missionaries or something in the family practically almost read the letter down well Adam buck was was Irish he was born in Cork then he came to London and developed into a water colorist but his watercolors sure as it were his training and his background was a mini interest because if you look at each face each face almost in a way is a miniature image and it's done with such precision and such accuracy but in a way it's like a sort of procession of four miniatures but he also learned how to place the figures as it were in a world but didn't introduce much color it into his watercolors they always have this slightly monochrome appearance it's pencil but then with watercolour and white heightening over the top and then a lot of gray wash which is all this sort of area in in the background well it's an absolutely charming a beautiful period thing at sort of 1827 this is sort of the Regency style and it's in its original frame and it doesn't look to me as if it's ever being touched normally watercolors by Adam debunk make about two to three thousand samples but this one is so delightful I think that would make three to four thousand even three to five it's a really delightful thing thank you very much and what is inside assorted assorted biscuits tissue paper oh my word an old plate Oh a few old place is there how many of you not in there crap chipton Craigs golly do you know what these are well all I know is that the Merryman plates and depth everyman played some dope yes you are absolutely right there's not really I haven't this isn't he called me the fool say it's there's six in the same that's right the Blessed six how did you get these I was left them by auntie Dorothy yes and where did she get them from well I'm not sure but I think it was her grandmother great-grandmother eight that takes you back how long ago does that take you back oh I can't work that out no these are quite quite a lie incredible I never I've never had such things of the road showed up the last known safe that came up at auction was 1991 I used to know this set in raphson's court in Worcestershire where Tom Byrne had two sexes yes that makes three sets and this one well certainly four I think there are a few in very very unusual Museum because these are terribly unused plates are they did you appreciate that oh yes they really are here when I was a child they were in the guest fronted covenant years and the cousin and I used to dance in front of it singing what is a man marry man let him do what he can and then if his wife do frown we fell down a very big oh yeah and you fell down yes good only part of this cabinet yeah and that would get up and skipping now that's number one to reflect up number one what is the very man let him do what he can where's number three a mustard three to entertain his guests with wine and Mary Jess number five but if his wife's new frown we already found out it's gorgeous isn't it these are noticed goes to the very bed set they are very very rare they're neatly imitated the Dutch who had sex like as they would stand in the inner caps adorn the mantelpiece or something like that Tom Byrne used to have his on the mantelpiece and there they set looked at you know we did never Biskit but the the shape of them is very very typical of this date which is 1727 the absolute detail so 200 and and how many years we're not doing mouths the day but that's 270 270 two years old which is a long long time that's one of this is this is damaged amantha's did you break this one your senior editor no this one's had a little chunk and there's 100 chip as well they're exciting they're primitive but thought you've got to bid dislike what describes a story about them but this lady who bubble claims she fell in love with the garden handyman and she was totally she went with him she would get nothing in the world but I think on reflection that parents listen to them well in those days I don't suppose they would have been terribly value do you know what the values are now don't make me fall over just tell me not gonna fall over most palatable in the rouslan sale about 15 years ago his set fetched twelve thousand pound in the sale nine years ago it fetched a set a matching set like this pitched 18,000 pound yet I think because of the escalation in Delftware team-based pottery is a very keenly collected now both in this country in the world I I think probably you've got to think in terms of twenty to twenty five thousand pounds Oh I will get some of them up each pair - what what a counter well that's certainly one of the best items I can remember seeing on the Antiques Roadshow you know lady came up to me earlier today and said what would happen if you come to a small town like Kazik and you simply don't find enough things to fill a program well I said in 22 years that has never happened and it certainly didn't happen here in Kazakh today a wonderful program so our thanks to the people of the Lake District and I hope you'll join us next week for a special program from the Bo's Museum in County Durham until then goodbye well in fact you can see that program in two weeks time likely and will sell for in conversation beginning tonight's Art Zone on BBC two in a couple of minutes and here on BBC one its life in the freezer next [Music] [Music]
