Antiques Roadshow UK Series 16 Episode 10 Motherwell, North Lanarkshire

[Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] this week we brought the Antiques Roadshow to Scotland just ten miles or so south of Glasgow we're in Motherwell until 1850 this whole area consisted of tiny villages forests and pastureland in the valley of the River Clyde but that rural idyll was shattered by the roar of the steel furnaces from the middle of the 19th century Motherwell became the center of the Scottish steel industry the fiery glare of the furnaces lighting up the night sky steel made here became the basic raw material of the Clyde side shipbuilding industry and hundreds of vessels went down the slipways built of steel made in Motherwell now with the steel furnaces shut down all that's left is a memory kept alive here in the some early industrial heritage park where they preserve the sights and the sounds of Industry in this part of Scotland over the past 200 years the River Clyde has always been the lifeblood of the area it doesn't really much matter whether you're talking about shipbuilding on Clyde side or steelmaking in Motherwell but it's also been an artistic inspiration Turner came here in the 19th century to paint the magnificent Clyde River Falls and Wordsworth stood not far from here as he wrote and yet how fair this rural scene for thou o Clyde has never been beneficent as strong hardly surprising therefore that this part of southwestern Scotland is so popular among tourists despite the recession in the local steel industry Motherwell boasts a modern Civic Center and that's where we've invited the people of this part of Scotland to come to meet our experts anybody who comes to Glasgow area would love to find a chair looking like this one of the design icons of the 20th century has to be the furniture made by charles rennie mackintosh how did you come by it I was at art school myself and realized that it was a Macintosh style right I thought I must have that right did you pay it off no we've swapped it what yeah dreadful candlestick sure they were dreadful candlesticks they were right and one has to say of course the Macintosh was a designer he didn't actually make things himself now the traditional chair as I think you know is is actually taller than this and the high-backed chair was the most characteristic object of the Macintosh style this is shorter but it still has a lot of Merit Macintosh characteristics they say the way the back is assembled is right the way the vertical elements are taken right down underneath to join in the back this double dowling on each side these are all characteristic elements it needs further research I'm trying to convince myself as you can see that this is actually a Macintosh chair based on the fact that you paid very little for it I think we have to say that you've done quite well now to begin at the very best which this isn't a really good top grade McIntosh chair now I would sell for eight to ten thousand dogs don't get too excited worked out work down because until one could establish exactly the provenance of this you're probably still dealing with low thousands if it is simply a Macintosh style chair what Ottomans was eight hundred four thousand so unless the candlesticks were fantastic I have to say you've done very well - splendid pieces for must be extremely impressive service how much more do you have a bit we have six pieces now at all it was a lot more you use it like you use it I hope I can imagine the turkey on that we never made as a service to use originally it was this something's always been in your family well it's my husband's family actually it made for the family with the design very typical of the eighteen forties probably we're looking at its as English as can be though one wouldn't afford so the patterns of a Chinese VARs peony flowers there I mean an aqua Yentl theme early but the material is very heavy so when you've got a pile of plates that must be quite heavy hence the name iron stone so I saw the pieces that we got we have directly supper plate steel plates took plates and we have one or two the smaller and she no further there was more urgently how big was the sense we believe that it must have been about two hundred piece but unfortunately my mother-in-law a lot as some of it got lost and my mother lost lost yeah how do you lose a dinner set well actually people came to the house single antique dealers and they took away quite a number and give a 40 pound nothing we could do about it the police say that the bank accepted 40 pound but she wasn't where it is that's a way there's a natural assumption that piles a plate in the kitchen cupboard can't be worth anything and one sees so often that services do get sold off thinking they're valueless but the 40 pounds was probably there's only what sort of 30 40 pence apiece isn't it the world should hope but we look at snook instead what you've got left which is 476 pieces you must be sort of a big dish is going to be easily a couple of hundred pounds alone obviously when you've got a terrine like this which would have had a stand and with a ladle as well is going to be the sort of three or four hundred pounds and that 40 pounds of plate for the ones in good condition I mean we're easy there in sort of two or three thousand pounds for what you have which is so one sort of a word apportion what could happen to the rest of the sets but use them but well we do and enjoy using it maybe nice to see it Thanks well these are these are fascinating group aren't they David so they really are if you were on the tour and the 1820s a this is sort of typical of what we might well purchase from a local artist at the time instead of seaside postcards in a way I mean this is you know these wonderful views of and we think they are probably the Soviets its various stages of the eruption and the top one here is when it's just beginning to below flames and then working downwards the condition is goodie they're wonderful they're into are but I think the main thing is that the wonderful quality of they really are very very nice yeah have you had them a long time 50 years 30 years how would you be how old ha ha well we we reckon words for 1820s and they're difficult to Dayton yeah and they're never said very rarely are these ever signed are they're they're very always very anonymous I'm never the height no you don't see anything that you're under at all but that's that's that's normal but I think they're very nice I mean what we what they're worth but I sigh I would think once 300 pounds each about that yes yeah he's be even a bit more because they are particularly nice sets they look they're quite rare and I mean I don't know whether it's insurance even 500 pounds each which is about that yeah but they've been they're very very beautiful I think to make it lovely lovely set nice in the wall certainly not a fake in fact it has all the desirable features of a pretty little late Georgian William the fourth period table lie slender legs this lovely sort of molding around hip very pretty block and then this nice wasted column and everything about it is fine it's a bit of a tragedy though that you know these are starting to come off you've got all those pieces you've got all the pieces it's actually just come off because my mother had a very cold house so I think with the drying upper by or flat at the moment it's just dried it off how long how long has it been in your house rather than her well I wouldn't I wouldn't do anything to it at the moment I mean because it's quite likely that's a more bit of a drop-off before it's finished okay sadly I'm either one beautiful part about the table which was the top veneer has gone through not misuse simply a weakness in the design the the top veneer was unstable compared to this timber which was the carcass that strength and the veneer started to chip away so better take it all off and polish the top you can tell that definitely by you look underneath here they actually veneered underneath a quarter of that so that it didn't look odd it showed exactly the same timber even when it was down and the other thing is that they certainly would have done that if the top weren't to be veneered and here you can see where the shrinkage has been compensated for by this additional slip and on your side as well and you can see the exposed heads all the way around where the screws that fix the hinges actually have causes little hole when it was veneer lead didn't matter but as soon as you take the veneer off they are exposed so although you've got a nice table of that period as I say 1825 1835 it has lost a lot of the potential commercial but as a family piece industrial it's still worth two and a half thousand yeah here we are looking at an Edison phonograph tell me where it came from well I acquired it about twelve years ago from a family friend yes I knew we were very interested in this sort of thing I'm keen on old seventy-eight and it's very good at playing though I can see here it says a B 19 now that's the model number and the B 90 which was originally marketed as the bungalow model first started out in 1919 so it's post First World War the bungalow model the name didn't go down too well so very quickly they changed it to the chalet model which seemed to meet with more success oh that's nice well let's have a go with those afterwards give us a that'll give us something to to laugh about in a minute that would be great thank you so yes the chalet model produced from about 1919 through 2 they finished in about 1923 it's made of red gum which is an unusual choice of wood and in fact when I first saw it it looked much more like mahogany it was one of the first machines if I can just take the front off here the fret but had this concealed horn inside so what we have is a very good quality machine it has an interesting way of playing because it tracks in a parallel way doesn't it with most machines exactly most machines have a pivot and we're used to the needle going inwards on an arc now value even though they were produced and was sold that's quite a high prices some of the more complicated and decorative models they don't seem to have really increased that much in value so yes today a machine like this will be worth between about four and six hundred pounds but I'm sure it's worth a great deal more than that to you and I hope warranties to give you a little pleasure we do get a lot of pleasure from it now I want to I want to listen to it what we got here we've got the toreador song or even bravest hearts which is the best side for this perhaps the toreador are a bit more dramatic well in the sixties we lived in the Lake District in Kendal where the auction sales were absolutely wonderful right we used to be able to get lovely pictures lovely frames for about an old shilling each roughly a shilling each with it probably less that's my goodness but this particular picture wasn't in this frame I simply married them up with a bit of humble cardboard behind the water well it's by William Evans of Bristol and it's a view of Carnarvon Carson and if you look very carefully here you can just see W small M Evans 1850 very very pretty example of this artist's work any idea of the value none at all well today at that auction that should make between about 700 and about 900 pounds that is more than a detective what about this job so all right give us a demonstration supposed to fit this stuff in there I'm moving on to this other five for around a shilling also but at the later pivot our Charles H quaintest and it's signed inscribed and dated Jersey 1882 it's not often you see his book coming up at all so comparative rarity value wise on this one around a thousand twelve hundred pounds so those purchases in the sixties for a shilling material very very good investment indeed thank you ever so much for bringing it now tell me where did you find this wonderful thing it's been in the family for about 75 80 years my grandfather bought it but it was secondhand in and beyond that I don't know can't trace it right and he bought it what because he liked it or because he was a great cause it later and nor we was actually teetotal from so yes it was never used it was a conversation piece that it was left to my uncle and I used to go and visit him and every time I would go a wouldn't get you a glass and I would come upstairs and get one of those new comer glass of Benedictine it does it how do you see it yes I mean what is remarkable to me about it is that it's all complete you've got the nice cut glasses you've got the decanters which of course should be filled with the best malt single malts and if you are a teetotaler or if you prefer to have something else after dinner you've been open the bottom and learn behold here is coffee set up the fourth before the meal and there it is really it's very nice group of of wares for serving the coffee elegant pot and with a very nice tattered handle little knot on the top very good well made pieces I think it dates to the early years the century there was a seriously a great revival of an 18th century style and the Adam Styles ever white style always came back and while they did reproduce existing pieces of furniture they clearly invented new style for new shapes the pieces of furniture didn't exist in the 18th century and you may remember in the perhaps when televisions first came out they were often concealed in wooden cabinets and this was very much the same idea had the beam in 18th century drinks cabinet I think this which is wonderful rise and fall action is exactly what they would have made now I've never seen one complete with all its bits we're talking about 80 years old very nice woodwork beautiful graining beautiful finish all sort of correct Hepplewhite details in a day revivalist way I think I think I would certainly go as a sort of three four hundred pounds for it that's a bit more because it's such a wonderful thing and the pleasure of it I couldn't resist it if it was mine I every evening I'd come home and have another drink you know what this is turn pocket not quite on the way you liked it it's a fascinating story really and it does hinge around drainpipes it was a firm in Lambeth in London called doctors and they specialized in making the spirit flasks and gin bottles and that sort of thing in this material which is salt glazed stoneware this is a clay you take it up to a very high temperature about twelve hundred and fifty degrees centigrade at the last minute you shovel in salt and the salt volatilizes and sticks all over it and produces this shiny glaze and Henry Dalton inherited the family firm and he came up with his bright idea and that was to make the drainpipes out of salt glazed stoneware the great thing about it is is very tough it's impervious to alkalis and acids so you can bury it in the soil and nothing happens turns and he made a fortune and he made ultimate society can make artistic wares out of his drainpipe material so he set up a factory in Lambeth and he got students from the Lambeth arts or to come and decorators and they were given a completely free hand which was very rare in Victorian times and there were some very skilled people came off that of course there was George tin worth were two barlow sisters Hannah and Florence now the do Barlow sisters they had an agreement that Hannah would stick to Oliver's when Florence would do the birds and this is one of Florence's pieces and there's Mark and the bottle FEV authorities borrow we've also got the Dalton impressed Rosetta mark we've got the person who did the extra work not this decoration and we've got what appears to be a date as I say it's open aged 87 agent have seven golden year year of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee and unfortunately it's not in good condition is it what's happened to my dad this removing furniture in his care admit me good your dad did it then talk to him ever again it was a great shame because it's a really very nice pot that could be cleaned up and done rather better but as it stands it's worth about 70 to 100 pounds so it's to work quite a lot of money for the price I'm glad you brought it in you glad you brought it in okay I've had over 50 years you certainly myself yes yes and who had it before then my father and my father's father at presumably oh so it could very likely have been bought new in the families had it ever since yes yes well that's very interesting yes it's a pair cased watch we call it a pair case because it has been leaner yes a pair of cases as you say nice set of hallmarks there 18 karat gold a Jew hallmarked in London in 1806 so did you think it was quite that early or not I didn't think it was your sale is no well let's see where it's made have you ever opened up the thing before about once at once well nice quality watch just looking at it we've got a dust cap there that comes off that just protects we mark from getting into the movement yes and then it's signed there Robert Greene of Edinburgh well I think he was working roughly from the sort of 1780s through to the 1830s I know he was there but sort of 45 50 years it's quite a prolific maker you'd expect seeing a watch like this at this sort of date for it to be a verge this is in fact a cylinder escapement but very much very much rarer than the verge at this date so a good quality early 19th century watch as I say assayed in London retailed by this Edinburgh maker and in the sale room at the moment you'd be unlikely to get that for less than about 800 pounds so you must ensure maybe eleven twelve hundred pounds for retail replacement my suit so a nice thing to have been handed down and I hope that you're gonna keep it in the family and hand it down to many thanks indeed thank you very much thank you well now to the second part of our tea competition in which you have the opportunity of winning a voucher to the value of two and a half thousand pounds which you can then spend on antiques of your choice and there are three additional runner-up vouchers of 500 pounds each and every week I'm joined by one of our experts tell us more about antiques associated with a long tradition of key drinking this week David some rather unusual pots yeah I mean we've got this long history of tea drinking in England in the 17th century pots were very small because tea was 300 pounds of power expensive in the 18th century they were very influenced by contemporary Chinese were like these this Worcester example of about 17 and 17 in the 19th century they went completely berserk and produced some of the nuttiest pots ever this wonderful majolica one from about 1870 great families terrific from early in the 19th century we get this form of the pot which actually based on the Chinese wine pot this is brameld with a rocking and the glaze it's rather amusing because there's apparently no way in apart from the hole in the spout the secret lies in the base and there's a tube that goes through this hole up there pouring already made tea in through the hole and when you invert it of course the tea doesn't fall out so no problem with tea leaves and you don't need to stop at any time which leads us to our question which English lady gave her name to this type of teapot next week the last question in the series and also more details of how to enter the competition in the meantime back to our experts anybody interest in the 1930s always wants one of these wonderful motor car teapots now we're two doors come after the sad loss of a friend this cabinet from fat-faced right in July dad you admired it before it's a hard to theater I'd always liked it yes I always did like it right and yours mine was given to my parents for me when I was born by another elderly lady an extraordinary person appropriate child yeah and did you always like it before yes yeah loft up right continue that these teapots have close relatives in the form of a railway locomotive a tank a gun a whole range of bizarre thing was made by Sadler's of Staffordshire in the 1930s but the most famous and the most collectible is always the motorcar sporting lively all the star of the 19th it seemed to be expressed by this I presume people did use them one have to take it seriously this was a teapot it does work there are nice refinements in the two they are slightly different there is more silvering on the wings of this one this is the deluxe model you never know have you ever made tea in it no I'm disappointed you don't use them I'm sure it pours out a very racy cup of tea they're a great thing that this is a wonderful piece of if you like art deco nonsense and a price today for a good one of these depending on where it's sold ranges between 150 and 250 pounds and always says it just to make tea it's a wonderful sort of summary of English being no sense of humor nobody else in the world I think could make something quite so ridiculous as this but anyway you're very lucky to have them I wish somebody had put one aside for me now this is very nice a nice sweetheart party can you tell me anything about it all about it was my grandmother's so your grandfather bought it for your grandmother or your father I see and then obviously he was in the First World War that's my Suffolk regiment is these things are so personal and people get them on their pillows with the absent soldier in mind and in auction they usually fetch something between fifty and a hundred pounds it's so nice to see I'd love to show everybody how it actually tells the time but there's there's no key here how how do you actually alter ah thank you my husband took it and then produce this it's much easier to pop down to your local jewelers and for three or four pounds you can buy a little key that will set these hands but meanwhile let's just have a little look if I can and holding that there we are the minutes around this one and on the other side you'll see the other eye moving I hope initially they were all carved from wood this is actually a bit of a copy this is I think plaster or something like that what did you pay for pounds well I think you've done pretty well because had he been in wood I think you could safely have said 250 300 the fact that it's slightly later and in plaster take it down a bit but it's still it's still a great object do you know whether this is a buffalo or a bison with goals called a bison it belongs to my mother it was her father's before that and when he died my grandmother came over to stay with mother from France so there is a French connection in the family yes well that's interesting I would think it dates from about 1860 1870 most of the Animalia bronzes were signed but this one is not animali a were a group of French artists working in the 19th century specifically doing bronzes of animals their main inspiration was a man called Antoine lui Barry who was born in the late 18th century and was working mainly the first half of the 19th century in Paris an Amalia bronzes are collected but their value has remained fairly level over the last decade or so if this came up at auction I would expect it to fetch somewhere between six and eight hundred pounds perhaps and if you were buying it in a shop you pay maybe twelve fourteen hundred it's a very pleasant surprise don't learn yet yes it is they're quite strong actually do you still use them no one believed me when my mother had them and now we're so they've gone through the family one since the late 19th century time yes you are French yes I married this man hmm yes and I've been over here for 4514 for the six years well to say they're very much made for and ladies use and they're very dainty and very pretty and what's nice is that the lenses themselves that the original lenses that were put in at the time of the pieces manufacture which I think by its very very sort of pretty fussy style means that they're French yes probably around about 1875 something like that but the condition is excellent and obviously you've looked after them and kept them very well all the years that you've owned I think if we look carefully we'll probably see that there's a little French control mark just tell us that it is French because it's so obviously the French design in fact we have a look there and just see a tiny little impression that's been stamped onto the ring at the bottom there well that's the little French control mark so as far as its potential value is concerned I think that if they were sold in an auction they want to make around about five hundred pounds to six hundred pounds for retail replacement to actually insure them you really have to look now at around about 900 900 so you just brought us in there tell me none of badness of it all right I just put the Nirvana so we've done our beard to move in it good - really yeah it's big enough to move in - well we'll have to see what we can say about it I don't know goodness gracious me if it's given to my husband as a present on the death of his friend miss his favorite painting I think it's marvelous then we have a work by a mother well painter Roy Young Ferguson painted probably in the 40s perhaps slightly faded watercolor pencil outline influenced I say yes I see that in fact that it's slightly slipped in the frame yes every about the signature half-hidden yes did it that but I'm wondering as to how much it's worth I get more for a picture than anything else well that's nice to hear you say that actually at today at auction around a thousand fifteen hundred pounds [Music] where has it been the language said plant a shed from the Yeti my in a shed for 15 years but all that all the patinas go on all the colors got look at the top he been stripping paint on here unbelievable well you know we're laughing at it but I mean it's an amazing piece of furniture you haven't got the top part you know because you see all that and in some way that's lame no no what it's lame you don't really what get it a minute because if you've got the top to that it changes it from half a nice piece of furniture into an important thing most of these are machine carved but this one I'm convinced is is a hand compliment it smacks of the the Warwick School of carving which started in about 1850 1860 and it was it was the the craftsmen's answer to machine carving which became popular after 1847 they were done in Belgium and in Italy but I think this is an English one quite certain of that and I'd put it about 1870 1865 1870 but it is a very important example I think very brave of you to stick it in the back of a van and pump it along here so where did you get it from I mean how did it it didn't didn't just appear in your shed I was putting ideally for the farm and just just it out very just gave it to you well from didn't appear you know only been mixing paint on the top and ever since I want a place painted so know is that this is Cindy one else it'll did I said your bid on it and all it once is a nice wax it wants a good rub you could soon get some patina back in that wax like that's right absolutely and that would start to look like bronze and you start to give it a bit of colour and it would come to life and polish the top is easy a little wax on there would look really good and it start to look like what it's really worth which is probably in the reason of three or four thousand pounds and with the top up goes the price really how meaningful it's as a seriously interesting piece of furniture this came from a very important collection somewhere it's really just for trace just you and your bonnet your ostrich feather bonnet yes it says you got a hackle in the cycle for it it's what color white a blue one a blue one a blue white and you're skiing do is that hallmark silver they don't it one wrong just just a straightforward just the straight for this kid because I've seen all times over the years you know I mean presentation worms and very elaborate ones I've cut a few huggers with yes I think a few bun samples and I use it when I'm addressing the haggis at pika I do the business in the baggage room well they belonged to my grandfather and he was very interested in Scottish paintings and he bought them all yes what sort of date do you think people would grind about the 1900s way 200 to mate 112 yes yeah around that period well you probably know that the majority of these pictures in this gallery I should call it by members of the Glasgow school class go boys and they were a group of artists who sort of formed together in the 1880s in Glasgow some of whom had already been rejected by the Glasgow Arts Club in 1877 and there so they came together in about 1885 and they started holding exhibitions in Glasgow and initially they weren't terribly well received and it wasn't until really a little bit later that people in Glasgow began to realize that actually there was a bit of talent here and they started to get very enthusiastic the first artists we have here is as you probably know is Edward Atkinson or now and this is a wonderful picture by him and he's interesting because in fact he was born in Australia did you know that he's born in New South Wales in about in the 1860s and he came to Scotland as a child and one of the interesting things about him was that in 1893 financed by Beryl he went to paint in Japan and some of his best pictures are from that period now this picture as you can see is dated 1912 and the right hand side is not from that period so it's a little bit later but nonetheless is a really really very fine example of his work it's the only one that we know how much my grandfather yes how much do you pay the 35 pounds 75 party well it's rather bit more than 2 drive-bys I would think that in today's markets who were talking about something in the region of between thirty and forty thousand okay I'm serious it is it's a really lovely she has rather a cheeky grin which I think people alike let's see what because it out smells I did does it smell of people's socks I wonder let's have a look through odour beetle watch I think all the smells gone what's nice here you've got a picture of the beetles probably shot in the the this of early 60s and then photographs on the back there though there were lot of bits of Beatles memorabilia produced but this is quite an early one it got its license on the 27th of November in 1963 it was made in a limited number and it's early and it's in good condition and it has some talc in it even though doesn't so the value would be something between perhaps 80 and 120 pounds for a teen of talc made in 1963 isn't it extraordinary the next one here is by Alexander Roche is of something called journey and I'm frail identical Jen years do you know me Jenny and he was an artist who was learned his trade really in France and then he came back to Scotland and started painting with Guthrie and was one of the leading lights in the Glasgow scale do you know what your grandfather paid for that one I don't know I would think is probably worth three to five thousand between three and five thousand okay no we go on to the next one which is and this one is by Constance Walton signed at the bottom ride is a very beautiful watercolor do you know anything about her I think she was the wife of EI was correct absolutely right and he is obviously better known and he's one of the original again original members of the Glasgow school but I think it's particularly nice quality their snipers I've never seen anyone in any work by her of this caliber before and again it's wonderfully fresh it's been behind glass hasn't been exposed to too much light and it's a very finds a very fine thing and I would say and again we're looking at somewhere between about three four maybe even five thousand pounds that three to four anyway I didn't realize it was the end the interesting thing that that is in watercolor that one where's the other two oil and then moving along to the fourth one this is by James Patterson who is again well known and in a way this to me reflects the influence of Arthur Melville who is a wonderful artist our venerable to know him who is again a leading light in the Glasgow boys and find enough I think his last series we had a particularly beautiful Arthur Melville watercolor which a colleague of mine Peter Nachum did and it was he painted in North Africa it was a beautiful so Arab market and this this particular work by Patterson reflects very much that style of painting so we're probably looking at about two to four thousand pounds for that what happened here this is obviously a new fracture try to remove these metal since it was on your wall I thought as much there's a that's one of the great ones do these are very highly sprung and they do ten unless you take not very careful attempt to create the sort of damage this is 220 was thirty years old and it's been survived quite well up until recently we're discuss the price it's really worth a very little now but this one we've got here it's made at Davenport and it would have been one of a set of maybe twelve players of a desert service it's meant to be seen in a cabinet that's again suffered the fate of damage very early on see this one there's both these fairly awful prominent rivets not here what they're Donna they're simply drill little tiny holes either side of those cracks and then married the whole thing together with these rivets or staples but that that completes the set it would have been an incomplete set without this treatment anyway it's quite illuminating so effective wringing them in okay I really like this one there you do like this one I'm not sure it looks as if there's something it's like the out of balance yeah and sectarian sir well I rather like it I like the bees and the I suppose this is that Apple Bob blossom cherry blossom I don't know that it's a I David Murray and he's really best known as a landscape painter it's really very beautiful that I think and it is unusual but it's highly decorative perhaps a bit too sentimental for some but anyway I like it and I think it's worth three to five thousand video then finally this this really is the old one oh because it has no association with glasgow boys or for that matter the glasgow girls but this is by an artist called Harlem ah've and Harlem ah've is a Russian painter not surprisingly who I think not all that much is known about it but I think he did in fact come to work in the British Isles and painted I mean their enormous number that come up for auction and both in America and here and he really I must have seen a lot over the years but they're always this type of subject matter it's always rather pretty girls as he women very competent painter and in fact this girl I've seen numerous times being depicted and you'll be amazed to hear that about not very long ago there was a alum off that sold at auction I think up in Glasgow and it was but it was bigger than this it was bigger than this and it was two girls but it made hundred and forty thousand so you know I would reckon that something like this must be worth 30,000 pounds today so yes what you have here is the most fantastic collection really I mean they really
