Antiques Roadshow UK Series 13 Episode 6 St Ives, Cambridgeshire

[Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] this week we're in Cambridgeshire some 15 miles northwest of cambridge itself on the banks of the great oz and in one of the most attractive towns in this part of england we rinse and dives every town or city to which we take the Antiques Roadshow has at least one feature of special interest and here incentives unquestionably it's this the chapel on the bridge it's one of only four in Britain completed in 14:26 it's had a long and colorful history being used various times as a nonconformist chapel with room inside for about 20 worshippers as a pub and as a lighthouse in the days when the great news here was an important commercial waterway and the priests in residence had a very important and permanent source of income he collected cash from everyone who went in or out of sand Ives it was a chapel and a toll house sometimes is above all a quiet country market town growing up originally as the center of a largely agricultural area there may be few reminders of it today but in the nineteenth century this was the scene of one of the busiest cattle markets in Britain now an increasing number of tourists come here many by Road some by boat to enjoy the unspoiled rural scenery in which this part of England is rich the most famous son of this part of Cambridgeshire was Oliver Cromwell and this fine statue was made to mark the 300th anniversary of his birth it should really be standing in his hometown of Huntington a few miles away but even so long after the Civil War it was too much for their torrid royalist and Anglican sentiments so the statue was given a home in some dives where the prevailing tradition is Whig and non conformist our home for the day is the sand Ivo recreation center joining us among our team of experts today we have Hilary Kay who as usual will be looking at a variety of things from the 19th and early 20th centuries it's david batty is with us along the hot porcelain tables and he is joined by Paul at abri and John Senden while Michael Newman is with us once again casting his expert eye over the furniture so let's now join a human right with the people of sad eyes do you know what this is I already know it was out and oriental dogs don't Chinese dog is on the way I think he's in fact her Japanese rather than the Chinese the patination is just that bit better and the passing that is better than a Chinese one of this date and he dates from around the end of the last century probably about 1880 1890 who notices he's got a little yes yes Pam you know what I knew about that I wondered about incense burning right well if that's exactly it I mean what you would have done would be to have some charcoal in the bottom of there and you put a lighted pellet of the incense and put the lid back and the smoke would have come out reason his mouth why don't we try it I've always wanted I would know I have never seen it enough for Asia like let's try let's see what we get anywhere mm-hmm what's a newspaper in your bag down that we don't set the fire alarms off get that going nicely shove it into the hole how's that is that one impressive and see that sitting in a temple coming out thank it's great lovely is he yours no he's not mine he was originally bought but my husband's grandmother many years ago she was a collector of items like this she had many did she come from the east no her father traveled in the East and I think he interested her his type of thing and she used to have a very big collation but nothing could be did she by herself or well she brought herself what in this country this country you know Scottish no it's got no connection there and in the south Sussex Paul she lived in backfilled yeah very interesting well I come from Sussex and all around that south coast you will find X Colonials they came back from the east where they'd been administrators or traders and they settled in the warmest place they could find in the country which is the south coast and you will find a great mass of oriental things round round Brighton and all around that South okay so it's terribly well and they that's presumably where she got it I'm pretty sure she did yes well I like him terribly much and he does work for free well I suppose it's actually warming up nicely yeah keep the hands will mentor as well he's going to be worth in the region of eight to twelve hundred pounds so I suspect rather a lot more than nothing oh yes yes I expect so don't tell everyone Dame thank you very much it actually belongs to my mother you know she bought it in 1936 in London possibly in Muswell Hill I would think because that is the area in which they lived my brother went with her at the time and he was three years old and he can remember her buying this tea set I'm very pleased to see it because it's an extremely stylish example of what we would call Art Deco a style very fashionable again now yes I'm surely one of the leading exponents in Britain of this style they were a Staffordshire company well known for their bone china of high quality but they specialized in modern shapes modern design yes and a piece pieces like these I think absolutely of their period hmm your mother bought it in 1936 it's probably a bit earlier so it may have been for a few years if you haven't known the days I'd have said 31 32 yes and I think if one look to something like the jug this is what Art Deco is all about you've got this very angular shape you've got this extraordinary handle which is actually to me very impractical because when you're holding a tea Cal and you're drinking your tea I mean the temptation is when it's full that it will tip that's right the tip the tea in your lap yes but in fact the design was later adapted with the handle pierced through it must have been to overcome that particular pose right the money no complaints about it the curiosities obvious are things like although this is a very very modern design and modern shape in the cups when you come to the plate they've used a very traditional plate shape you doing haven't adjusted their ordinary patterns because of course this shape it was also available with other patterns on it you could buy with flowers you could buy it with much more conventional designs which must have look sometimes rather strange I think on these modern shapes surely is because of its style and because of its fashionable nature surely is a very rising Factory if it was a complete set with a teapot with a bread and butter plate and everything in good condition you'll be talking to about six to eight hundred pounds mm-hmm I gather perhaps you don't have the teapot no we don't have a part all the bread and butter well you're still talking in sort of five five to six hundred pounds of the set because it is highly collectible and isn't exactly what our dough is all about that wonderful interesting indeed we know what it is not really you know we've we've habits often talked about 20 years ago no we bought it just because it looked interesting yes we didn't know what it was and we still don't I'm not actually quite sure what it is - to tell you the truth what's interesting about it I think is is the way it's made because it's like a little pressure cooker has this help we can screws and that holds the whole thing together and have this bear neck patch and then you can take the lid off here and this is a spirit lab which heats the whole thing up and you put the patch on and you screw it down very hard and the whole thing boils and it forces the liquid out of here into the receptacle that you've got here now it could possibly be a portable teamate beat me I can only tea is made and here also I see that we've got a little festive case now striking it on now it also these two rather interesting little bottles and again the purpose it doesn't make the purpose clear because they could perhaps be from the open or something that use or he could just be for the water that you would brought up and that could be for some other sort of get created but the other thing that I want to point out about it which is rather interesting is this mark on the base here don't you have any idea what that is no I don't well it's something that was instituted in the nineteenth century it's a design registry mark and the idea was that you could register your design so that other manufacturers couldn't copy it and it has a series of letters and numbers here and you can establish exactly the date that this design was registered and this particular one was registered in 1867 in September the Weber would wonder if it could be a sort of thing for a hot Denise it sort of fits quite nicely into the firm yes that's really quite an object it's it's a talking piece we've heard it so long and would never really know what it is it's a little bit difficult you on something yes that if you're insuring it I don't think five or six hundred pounds but it is so unusual good heavens and it's what we call anglo-indian furniture you don't see an awful lot of it and it surprisingly today we've got two pieces loose this one here and that incredible piece but this is an interesting piece because it's got a nice story to it it's a shades of the British Raj our local district commissioner or Colonel of the regiment that's right nice bungalow up in the hills very nice says to his local tradesmen I want you to make up a nice work table for the memsaab and Indian chairman says well I don't know what it looks like so he says right well I'll draw you wanna see and he draws an English work table and then the father translates it into his own vernacular so therefore it looks all strange because it's meant to be English in shape but it's so obviously Indian this is clearly a late Regency shape and sort of englishpod ruining here that it doesn't happen in Indian art so that was a straight copy these brackets here these are very Regency in shape and form but then it goes crazy because what is the English one to have beautiful shape pedestals and splay legs and you've got this carve stuff which as though it was an Indian temple - right yeah now it is in fact a work table and not a writing table if you here is the one well where memsaab kept on the walls and this draw comes out of that there yes so this is where members are upset put a tapestry and depart the needlework I thought it was where someone had pinned a pattern to follow nope I think not until I actually did the work so that's what it is there are where it comes from someone certainly took a lot of time you know and they did it a long while ago hello I think that was done not after 1850 really it's about a hundred and forty years old in my opinion mm-hmm because it's anglo-indian they're well sought after this also he's got a bit of damage but this could could actually be used I would think that if you had to buy that in the sale room dealers shop you could well be paying 1,500 pounds really it's a treatment isn't that wonderful that would do quite a lot of damage I think it's gonna see now what's this one this is is it it looks sort of North African I thought somewhere in the cells mr. Moser definitely know what's going through this do I think it's terrific a lot of people think that these boxes had a definite use yes I thought it was probably it's not it's not a box well people suggest that they could be stuffed they could be tobacco wool or a patch box but actually my my feeling is that something which is as good quality as this would have got very damaged can you imagine popping that into your pocket I mean the paint he would have got scratched under the prepare mash it would have got damaged because it's actually quite fragile and so I think that these were these were made for decorative things and seven years now something of this quality I would expect to see a signature on very often they were signed inside the lid which it isn't I mean at auction I would say where it's signed it would be worth something we would estimate it somewhere in the region of the thousand to as a man arrived the big mobile is very important this is you tell me what it is right hit you with it it's a war club and I would say that it's oceanic you know Pacific Islands Fiji somewhere around there I suspect it's probably more ceremonial donation dude me to be a big lantern and it it's in very good condition to fewer than a blue knob limits and inside the fans yes this stuff I I reckon is greatly undervalued at the moment I think it's it's on the up and up and certainly all these have ethnographical things whereas 20 years ago or so you would buy that for about a ten and a hundred it's a very good example of Satsuma well except two away as the generic name for Japanese earthenware yeah of the late 19th in the early 20th century and this is by particularly well known maker called Kim Kazan his name appears there and again they're actually impressed into the wet clay that was put in before the decoration was put onto the path of the blade he was his wares are particularly good in that he specialized in this very fine miniature style the central seed is very typical of Qing Kazan you've got bamboo and flowering pruners and then birds perched in the branches of meat and then framed by just wonderful brick a border you will probably get somewhere in the region of let's say between eight and twelve hundred pounds worth Oh what I find saudan is that when you open the covers of a family Bible what you expect to find is mr. mrs. Smith got married on such and so to date we've turned over this Bible and what we found out our doodles showing mass executions I believe that they are the round heads and the Cavaliers the little ship there is just like the the boat that sailed over with Pilgrim Fathers don't you see I think so see what I like about this is that a Bible of this age we would say in Sonique well 1625 Bible worth a hundred and fifty pounds but I think this is worth so much more not commercially but in interest and my goodness look this is oh here we are yes we've got an another inscription here that says charles ii by grace of god most king of england scotland france was interesting and Ireland defender of the faith and crowns 23rd April 1661 I think is I think it's a lovely thing and intercapital we've got all of these sort of ongoing repairs to the cover its have metal been put in here I suppose this is where the class would have been originally it's just lovely I mean unfortunates falling apart but I mean in a way that's half of its some office Beauty ears it's been used yes it looks as if I'm about to do an operation I'm not gonna tear it to pieces but with something that's old these are horrible something that's old and fabric you really don't want to handle them because of your the the juices and the to excrete I mean that the acid that comes out with perspiration and your hands may not be clean the date that this was was produced would be the latter part of the 17th century so 1660s child for second time and there are several ways that you can tell that it's certainly not any earlier when you look at the details of the embroidery the silver wire here it's called pearl wire and there's lovely silver braid all the way around the outside of the gloves on the silver braids are little sequins now these little sequence here they're usually made of mica which is then dipped in silver so they really catch the light and what we're quite light in in weight the hand of the glove is kid obviously and the extraordinary thing is that it's still so supple yes wonderfully supple you'd imagine from that date that it would be very dried out and brittle almost there is I'm going to turn it back over again if I may there is another indication of the date which is this lovely pink lining absolutely typical of embroideries or embroidered objects from the 17th century this probably would have been made for per man by his wife I mean it's certainly a man's gold clip not a lady's gauntlet and it would have been made by a nobleman's wife as a gift for him it's a riding goldrich and it's a lovely example of English domestic embroidery it's not a grand enough object to have been commissioned from a seamstress or other sort of the master embroider as' it obviously has a value but it's not going to be perhaps as high as I would have liked it to have been because there's only one yes and it's not Elizabethan it's a little bit later in date so I'd have said the value would be around perhaps five five hundred pounds that sort of figure well how many cups have you gotten all 14 new sources we've never had any sources none at all no we certainly never ever been any source can you trace it in that sense it came into the family about 1920s as far as you know but that's all we do know I suspect they lost the source a long time ago because it hardly looks used brilliantly well it's never been used as far as I know i mean the attributing a set like this is terribly difficult and while i was supposed to earning about force and i was told that this would have been palace boston paris was a bit sense of a porcelain decorating a many sets like this would have been made there but a standard shape in the empire style was the staple products of all porcelain factors across europe and similar sets to these liver barring any maker's marks and i think it's unlikely mr. got any marks at all i think it's got a tiny circle somewhere that's all I don't mean their workmanship all the man who did some other potting put example of UNAIDS but you don't get back to Marx on so many of these and it's frustrating to try and attribute them it's good to be 1818 20 beginning here 19 cent Harry a simple pattern hand-painted each little seam is going to be a little bit different every one is different there's a slight difference on every piece but the gold spot on last survived so well and that makes some very rich but made in Germany even made in in Russia make any sense of hard white post and manufacture on the continent made sets like this at that time the power is a possibility but when it's not the show it can be many places as well it's not really important what matters is how smart it looks yes and the elegance of is what gives it a charm and a certain amount of value though people is that people architects sources nowadays and so it suffers a lot being well that's it you think it did have sources then do you already know I'm sure it would have really yeah but who knows someone may have got the pile at one time yes we'll never know that now but now you've got a lot of individual cups which have some value and it's a nice display I suppose it's going to be worth four or five hundred pounds yeah but Tony had exhaust then it would have been enough yet now William Fraser garden was landscape painter who worked mainly between 1880 and 1920 this office had a very distinctive style very detailed minut attention to detail normally River scenes such as this he tightens his water cover with gouache sometimes using a little bit of body cover and one of the curious things is his signature in fact he's a slightly confusing artist because he started off life according calling himself garden William Fraser yes and halfway through his career he changed his name to William Fraser garden so this leads in fact at endless confusion the artist was one of a whole clan really of artist by the name of Fraser who were working here locally but this man is the best of them certainly at the moment he his works command fairly high prices is quite a fashionable artist at walks in the present time I suppose would be talking something like fifteen hundred perhaps even eighteen hundred pounds for the - quite a nice little salad Molly yes well it's a beautiful exam and this would have been made in many different sections all these little bits are fixed on separately that should come off it does this would be a little table sticking from melting the sealing wax to see how letters see little snuffer to put out the the taper when you've finished sealing it it's wonderfully complete nothing missing at all come to here there's the there's the full set of marks and the Henry Wilkinson curve in fact 1850 it's got the retailer's mark of Joseph Mayer who's a jeweler and silversmith these wonderful sort of scrolling foliat borders which all look an integral part of the of the silver are actually stamped out in a in a day with great great pressure and then sold it on to this sheet which has been previously hammered into this wonderful undulating shape which catches all the light and makes it look very grand indeed the thing is that it's um it's quite difficult to clean because it's so intricate quite fussy all that well because when we when we sort of found it and put it together I mean this was completely black you can still see some underneath when you say it was very black had been hidden away for years yes uh-huh hasn't been used for Inc for a long time but look at it no I don't think so no I mean I never ever remember seeing it my mother-in-law's house and I think it was hidden away for quite a while they just forgot about it it is wonderfully complete and very little damage the slight chipping on on one of the bottles here that's pretty insignificant that today at auction would certainly sell for in the region of 1,800 2,000 pounds maybe up to two and a half thousand my guess is they would probably brought boss in India because there were was great great trade between India in Japan and I've seen a lot of both ivories and this particular metal work in India in original collections and it would be pretty First World War they're all Japanese this one is an ivory group of two sparrows having a fight over some millet which is quite a well-known subject it's very beautifully carved I mean wonderful bit of work the eyes have been inlaid in mother-of-pearl and I think I believe for them for the pupil and it's fully signed and this reads Asian who is the carver and the date of that is again likely was just around the turn of the century about nineteen this one is an indeed this one by one of the leading metal workers in Japan of doctors men called Co mine and he specialized in iron work and this is actually an iron and then it's been damn esteemed inlaid with two colors of gold and silver Dan if you can see the Mount Fuji the map of the mountain yes yes indeed well that actually silver and that's tarnished and if you just clean it up in fact it comes up silver and of course it's a little miniature cabinet fabulously inlaid very decorative and this one is I mean superb again we've got Mount Fuji and silver that again we've clean up as if one tried to got a full mark on the bottom here this says Neff on Kuni which is country of Japan Tokyo jiù jiù means living in Tokyo komai say made by KMI so we've got the whole bit on the bottom there and this is just a cabinet of drawers I don't think they were ever meant for any serious use they were just marvelous little objects I mean the Japanese equivalent of Faberge if you like oh yes I understand actually as good as Faberge if not in many cases better than family sure I think and they are actually quite expensive objects this one is going to be worth in the region of 1,500 to 2,000 pounds Oh delicious that one about the same 1,500 to 1,800 pounds and this one about 2 to 3,000 pounds I pleased you thought yeah but I'm very pleased you brought it in because it is in fact a fake it's a complete fabrication and it was made in the Far East circa June 1990 I would have said and the reason I know about it is dice I've seen a wholesalers catalogue and they are producing hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of these this size and slightly larger sizes they're also producing rocking horses round about horses and they're done very well I mean if you look at the details it looks a little bit rusty it looks a little bit worn the sides a little bit sort of dodgy big caved in yeah but it is absolutely brand-new is this part of the booty of war no it's not in fact this normally hangs in the Honda squadron crew room that wouldn't would you have a couple of miles down that's right it's two miles from here variant I mean I don't suppose particularly valuable strangely enough because these things tend not to be and it's fairly recent but nevertheless as as part of the memorabilia as you say of war with Goering signature here so for autograph hunters quite apart from anything else it would be a real treasure no German we call biscuits in like Michigan misses then colored without glaze so she was modeling very well and normally they would have had a glass dome has bubbled over the front held in by the flame to protect them and keep them clean a little bit to damage his leg I mean this was so brittle and so fragile he normally get damaged on them it'll be about 1880 I suppose something like that I made by large numbers of small factors in German you've never put a name to it but the sort of thing which quality there is a lot and there normally while the commercial made these have quite a bit of detail in the modeling and then you'd probably have a pair which were 400 500 pounds well the mark that appears on the bottom of this bronze dish reads you a kyoto made by made in japan right at the end of the 19th century and made in a special kind of technique which is known as Shibui chi inlaid bronze various alloys of bronze and silver mixed up together and applied in beautiful detail across the surface of this dish birds flying amongst chrysanthemum this technique was derived from the sword makers who suddenly became redundant in Japan around the 1870s when the samurai sword was banned tell me how you came by it well I actually bought the two small houses with another with a lot of other things in a bowl plotted an auction about 19 years ago I suppose yep I paid three three pounds plus shilling in the power position in those days yes but and then I was looking for something to go with them but it was a bit silly that didn't match anything else and when that cropped up in the auction about three years later I bought it then how much do you think like I think I think about 40 pounds for a lot of money it was a lot of money then my daughter thought I was mad it's remote it's remarkable that you've managed to buy pieces very much at the same time so good I obviously because you've got the same artist working on both pieces I didn't realize that actually to me the marks look different now there's one slight problem with the pair that you've bought bearing in mind that you'd be paid what three pounds for them is that this one has a slightly a wonky edge it's obviously been dented was it like that when you bought it I think so I don't ever remember to have mentioned it so it probably was it's just that a lot of them when I saw that well those little bars are because of that condition are not obviously worth as much as they would have been I put the value of those somewhere in the region of five to eight hundred pounds really yeah and this is worth somewhere in the region of six to nine hundred pounds barely oh yeah I'm absolutely amazed this piece of furniture was developed in the 18th century and every household had to have one it is in fact George the third right at the end of a very best period of English furniture do you know what it is a linen press a linen press that's what we in fact call them today when they were made they were in fact made for the development of a wardrobe the Georgians didn't actually hang up their clothes in wardrobes the unit was used to fold it and in fact if you can think of those lovely pictures of Reynolds and Highmore and these sort of people painting those beautiful ladies and their satin dresses you will always see the square shaped folds on their dresses so clothes were always folded and they were really kept in pieces of furniture like this what really amazed me about this piece is it shows that in what was a purely utilitarian piece of furniture the georgian craftsman couldn't help but put some real quality and real detailing let's look at it in some detail hook inside trades now alas it's lost two of its trays that's a pity somebody has already started to do half of the story by trying to turn it into a wardrobe quite often they actually take this base out screw the drawer fronts back and make it to full hanging them which of course totally ruins it and just look at the detail that's wore here the Train which slides out they even did the detail of putting that little beading on there nobody ever saw that look at the way this door panel is put in that one single piece of beautiful mahogany and here you see this little piece of beading is cut bent it molded and tack nailed in abscissa per that's getting better isn't it lovely things detail right simple inlay that has come through from the end of the 18th century 1719 this piece is probably made about 1820 look at the look at the Flay that's called flame mahogany that veneer look how it glows and how these two pieces are cut from the same piece of wood and then you come to the drawers now here alas these are not the original handles but they're very old these handles I reckon were put on about 1850 because they're very early pressed metal I can remember 20 years ago in the early 1970s if we had these for sale in an auction room they would make 2025 pounds and a real cracker could make 90 pounds they were totally out of fashion within the last four or five years people who decided to appreciate the workmanship for it and so today you would have to pay two thousand two thousand five hundred pounds absolutely lovely piece of furniture what a splendid Alabama full of splendid drawings if I may say by the work by the artist Alfred Bastian the Belgian paper tell me something of how you came by them we found them in the Attic of an elderly relative she died in 1988 we had to empty the house yes and these were wrapped up in a piece of paper we knew nothing about the artist or her friendship just that the notes that were with it indicated there was a friendship right but it's quite a discovery actually he he lived quite a long life he lived from about 18 I think it was 1873 dying in 1955 and a lot of these I see are dated in the forties thirties forties and early fifties they're quite varied and you've got the splendid one here of the French Foreign Legion and others of ships landscapes he has a you know most wonderful style the the work of this artist is is represented in a number of galleries in America some of his oil paintings represent goes in America and he does appear at auction from time to time my favorite actually is this one very sort of Buddha desk isn't it isn't it Marvis her a few know few brushstrokes and he's actually got it there now what are you gonna do with them you gonna frame up some of them no well when they do yes eventually I think like this should be shown well of course but things like this should be showing the colors are so good and they really will frame up very well Estevan have you any idea but I counted 160 approximately in here and I feel that at auction they would make about twelve to fifteen thousand pounds as they are [Music] so a lot of bad discovery in dancing there were literally hundreds of Japanese Potter's working around the beginning of this century before the three great ones and arguably the best was yeah boom Maison and then there was King Kazan who was the most prolific and then Rios on and there were a lot of other ones some good some were dreadful and I've seen today oddly enough an early piece of Kazan which was dreadful and a late piece of King Kazan which was equally dreadful and this is the middle period around the turn of the century which is just marvelous and it's a super little port where do you get it from it was a gift from my father-in-law another one did he smoke no he's right in the smoke did he have a fire which smoke no it's a very dirty pot then where are you always your mouth is it well let's have a look at it in detail we've got her a coffee colored ground which you did a little bit of it but then with gilt bamboo on it which is really nice and too fancy 8 panels mom with rolls and peony I think they're supposed to be but it's one for a little seeding going on in there and on the back another seen with a fence and no flowers it's fully signed it says Kinkos are super oetiker it means made when I saw this I thought to myself well that could be transformed so I borrowed from nearby a little bit of ammonia now I don't recommend everybody to do this because it is quite dodgy and you've got to be sure of what you're doing but if you just put a bit of this onto some cotton wool I just watch how this transforms it is a very grabby pot and honestly once that is thoroughly clean he's going to be absolutely wonderful do you insure it No we heard someone come to the house to to do general valuation and he said about 200 pounds I don't go was that about four years ago it was not a bit of a shock when he said too many times [Music] I think it's somewhat out as a valuation that actually is worth about 1,500 to 2,000 Oh clean of course well almost the end now of our visit to sometimes but not before our Radio Times competition first of all let's hear the answer to last week's question the question was around what date was this picture by Sir Alfred Munnings painted and the answer is 1908 when he was living in Norfolk and spent much of his time capturing the essence of rural life in East Anglia well now to this week's competition object and it's actually particularly appropriate to this part of the world because it might well have been made not very far away from here it's a really fine example of French prisoner-of-war work and as you may know thousands of French POWs were held in this country during the Napoleonic Wars at the end of the 18th and in the early 19th centuries at first they were incarcerated in prison hulks old wooden walled warships which were moored in estuaries and later as the numbers increased they had to build a special prisons for them and the first one was at Norman cross near Peterborough just not many miles from here at all so this could easily have been made there now in order to improve their meager allowances and improve their lot the prison authorities allowed the inmates to make these models and they had to use of course whatever materials were available to them and not much I can tell you simply meat bones saved from the prison kitchen and perhaps odd bits of thread from their clothing and with those minimal materials they were able to turn out superb models like this let's just take a a closer look at it you can see four figures these two ladies in their Breton bonnets the influence there is obvious and each of these figures moves around now quite obviously after all this time bearing in mind you know it was made in the early part of the nineteenth century the mechanism isn't what it once was but that's understandable it really is a perfectly made model of course the ship models are very well known but these mechanical toys are also extremely popular and that really leads us to our question for this week what is the popular name of this particular toy now to help you with more details of the competition could a copy of next week's Radio Times which is published on Tuesday that gives you more details and even indeed a few suggested names and then your answer needs to be in the post and addressed to the Radio Times incidentally by next Saturday and then you'll stand a chance of winning a really very worthwhile Antiques voucher which you can then exchange for an item or several items of your own choice so good luck with that
