Antiques Roadshow UK Series 18 Episode 18 Amsterdam, Netherlands

[Music] this week we've brought the Antiques Roadshow to the Netherlands and to the city by the sea they call the Venice of the north we're in Amsterdam Amsterdam grew out of the sea and has always earned its living from the sea it's hardly surprising therefore that the city should be full of seafaring symbolism of which this ship is very much apart but actually she's not as old as she looks the appropriately named Amsterdam is a replica of a Dutch East Indiaman which went down off the English coast in the middle of the 18th century and she serves as a reminder of the enormous importance of the Dutch East India Company in the wealth and prosperity of the city the company opened up the world for Dutch traders and entrepreneurs and ships like this sail to India China Japan Indonesia and the Americas it was more than just a trade it was the beginning of the Dutch Empire it was an empire with Amsterdam very much at its hub these canals were the veins of the city its own internal trade routes here were the warehouses to store the tea coffee spices that the Dutch imported for willing customers all over Europe a network of 160 canals 1200 bridges Amsterdam's maritime heritage is also reflected here in the city's famous Rijksmuseum in 1647 the Dutch silversmith Johannes look mark was commissioned by the government to make this magnificent basin and ewer to be presented to Holland's most illustrious Admiral the maritime influence very obvious in its design another example of Amsterdam 17th century prosperity is in this group portrait the Night Watch by Rembrandt it was commissioned in 1642 by a group of local militia why are some of the members rather more prominent than others well quite simply because they paid a larger part of Rembrandt's bill now a picture like this quite obviously a national treasure is priceless but we do have to deal with prices on the Antiques Roadshow and you'll hear them expressed today in two currencies the pound sterling and the Dutch Guilder which is approximately 2.5 - the pound so let's now join our experts with the people of Amsterdam in the historic setting of the 15th century st. Olaf's Chapel after a disastrous fire 30 years ago this ancient sailors church has been rebuilt as a conference centre at the Golden Tulip the Barbizon Palace Hotel in the heart of the city you're afraid it's a fake yes I'm afraid to say why do you think it might be a fake everybody was ghostess his shell is afraid that this variable beef is fake or not well let's start with the family history of it when did it come into your family as far as I understood for my mother it's my grandfather got it from a company called colleague and he gave them a grandfather yeah was that a long time ago 50 years ago 50 years ago right well let me put your mind at rest because it certainly isn't a fake and to my knowledge there weren't any fakes being made 50 years ago anyway a parent on there are plenty of fakes that have been made over the last 10 20 years but they are very very obvious because the outlines of the design are trans for printed but looking at the outlines of all of these designs inside and outside the bowl they are quite clearly done by hand now paalam has a strong association with the Far East but is the connection through a Far East Company or bought themself peanuts so maybe there's a connection peanuts yeah not far east than peanuts I don't know that he uses as a peanut bowl no he didn't it is actually a Punchbowl or at least the shape is a Punchbowl it's a shape which started off in the early 18th century and was kept as a as a good shape a good ornamental shape which looked at home in the middle of an impressive table or on top of a very large piece of furniture in England one cz is used for potpourri as much as anything else but this is a wonderful piece I mean the design is superb the landscapes on the inside are continuous landscapes look we just look here we have four major groupings on the inside of Chinese figures standing or just about to depart from buildings emerging from walls and generally having rather a good time in the middle of the bowl we have a similar medallion and on the outside there is another continuous landscape now looking at the panels on the exterior these are very very broad almost totally continuous landscapes and the band on the rim is actually continuous has no breaks in it at all count on porcelain balls were made in huge numbers towards the end of the 19th century and the very late count on pieces of which one sees lawful awfully large number are heavily paneled the panels are usually quite small and you don't get these continuous landscapes so that's what I'm going to use to date this piece to somewhere around the middle of the 19th century not the end of 19th century the most important factor is the condition do you know what the condition is like because it's good is it hasn't been restored I can't see any restoration I'm going to make it even a small chip on this are you nervous you're nervous [Music] well that sounds alright to me the most important thing is to make sure that the condition is good there it sounds as though there are no cracks in there I certainly can't see any and hitting it like that gives me a clear that if I hear it'll buzz I know that I've got to start the hunt for a crack well I'm going to give you a valuation of British valuation on there somewhere between three and five thousand pounds and that translates into Dutch guilders between eight and twelve thousand guilders heritage for it doing half size of yours to know how far that goes so we've multiplied that by five times good morning now what do you know about that not much that it is double bonded I find out because there's somebody here and I taught that in the days they make hot and warm water inside to keep the tea warm right you're absolutely right it is actually to keep something warm but it's not tea or tea that is not fatigue what we're looking at here is quite a difficult piece to find it's actually a narghay on an arc I'll go ranks now the tradition behind the Argyle wasn't the earl of argyll got fed up with cold gravy because the tremendous distance from the kitchens in his house to where he was dining the gravy was cold whatever whatever he got this isn't about 1760 that sort of thing so what did he do he sat down designed this hot water jacket in this case the main body around here as you rightly say there's the second jacket and filling through that now for years people argued about this and said no it's 40 it's for this until a marvelous set of Ledger's were discovered the records in fact of wakeland very important London firmly and in the workman's ledger good basic English and there it was a gravy pot another interesting feature instantly of this one I didn't with you notice that rather sort of whitish plate from them now that's a rubbed infield where they have literally got a plate of pure silver whereas their plate and platinum very very thin it's more of a foil he's of the body and rub that into the surface skill required to do that was quite something but that increased the thickness in that area said that you could then engrave without cutting through to the copper now in fact without looking at anything else that tells me immediately that this is old Sheffield plate it's quite enough as the tinning and there's quite enough to tell me it was old sheffield chin on one surface silver on the other rubbed and silver shield like that again that's that's all chapped you'll also actually right at the back here that's a lovely seam running down there as well how did you actually come by the group did you go out and buy these individually oh no I bought yes I bought this and also all together in the bins from a man who was coming from Paris right it's Dutchman is that it's a good business I need the money and you have a good trade so I bought it so what did you pay for the hole for everything together then there were a lot of items ready two and half thousand guilders the diets of all now smelt this morning back so you've sold the others on the cheap items years say basically these are in high septon what I thought was the best in the nicest things I kept I would say that you have to think in terms of about three or four hundred pounds each for the items that we've got here that's about what a thousand twelve illness for each item so your your investment was not a bad one especially considering that you have to fill out something left indeed an uncle of mine moved from a larger house into a smaller and he gathered a lot of things at the attic and we were allowed to choose something red and quite frank I choose two peoples I like the shape and I thought they're so ugly [Laughter] so ugly so somehow I thought well done in a head for years but no covetousness no no it's actually extraordinary unusual thing its stature it's a a gauge where they made it by marbling together different colored plays you roll it out chop it up and just sort of scrunch it around together and this is molded this is a pectin show that we've made into mold and pristine and in fact if you feel on the inside you can actually feel there you've got the line of the to work is looted together and of course the marbling doesn't match at that point there are reproductions of these which you have to wash and what they did was to make them in a clear play this is a cream where yeah and they didn't bother to Marble it but they actually painted the marble on to make it look as if oh yeah and the way you tell is because on the inside the pattern doesn't come through yeah so they just smudge it about on the inside yeah he comes through it's gonna be a genuine one likely to come through honey come through it's amusing with a sort of snake spout and snake handle it's middle of the 18th century about 1750 around there and he's actually quite a rare thing they're very collectible Americans love this form of cream where well you love without its cover I mean in with its cover it would be worth somewhere around 15,000 dirt floors and even without it and we're talking about two and a half three and a half very nice thing to find I mean you know that is in English pound seven hundred eight hundred maybe a thousand pounds dancing five senators I think it's over painted painted over things I've never seen one quite I mean I think it's a basic oh it's just a carpet if you can help it I think they probably went through the matter is in any way the quality of if it is not not after he was a very very mature person rather care for artists and he was a designer as well so that was very importantly anthropology with his work and I just feel infinite how it feels just a little bit too free and a little bit too broad and being would be incredibly depressing today yeah but I think that if this were genuine it would be worth works to three thousand pounds several thousand anyway sort of ten thousand guilders plus as it is this is the kind of work he would do but not painting or drawing in this way no it's a lantern cloth or Chrome William the other name frequently given to them now the original examples of these clocks were made at the beginning through the middle of the 17th century that's when their their origins they were very popular they continued to be made for another hundred years even into the middle of the 18th century and then they were revived at the end of the last century when I saw it I saw the key and I thought immediately up one of those 1900 copies which looked the same same cast brass case and indeed were to open it up inside it's got a typical double fusee english striking movement of the late nineteenth century period but if you look at the dial apart from the fact it's rather well engraved you will see that we've got a small hole up there no denying and you noted engraving no engraving in the middle so what you have here is the frame the chassis early which used to have to await large weight would be hung on the wall with hooks and a large weight wagered pendulum and an alarm train and that pin was where the bar went to the back of the clock which to set the alarm off and in the center was a disc for engraving 112 which set this I think is Amos Krishna there's an a mosque wrestler who's recorded is working on for 1729 every seventeen different cement so you have the chassis of an original yeah but unfortunately the guts are replaced in the 19th century it was frequently down fascinating I know that some of it is old absolutely where did you find these I find there's an account in the ground in account with a metal detector to detect areas right well I think this is probably one of the best finds that I've seen for a long time because there are two very interesting rings is a medieval ring it's gold and it's made around 1500 and beautifully engraved and there are little traces of black enamel turquoise in the front and use the shoulders on to it and really it is an amazingly good condition and this one this is all set with table cut diamonds and this is the earliest form of cutting of diamonds where they take just the diamond crystal more or less in its natural shape and just cut off the top and this ring was made around 1600 it's a little bit later in date than yes do you have any thought of the value 7 on the coolness well I think I think this is worth I think each of these roses were between 1,000 and 1,500 pounds which is about three and a half to four thousand girl disease what have we got here fantastic something that like to think is special it's just you can't really see how wonderful it is screwed up like this how would you feel if I assembly to wear it I'm just looking at Ellen over and she is tall and slim and I know probably because you see it much better because right not a ribbon so you found her did you yes and when you when you found her was she in any clothes at all she was naked leg yes so now we can see the lovely painted head and which is typical of this make of dog do you know who she's by I help you by Kate's corrosion good you do know so she's a German door by ktcruiser and ktcruiser had several children and they were all given porcelain dolls and they kept breaking these porcelain dolls and say she was so fed up having to buy all these new dolls for her children that she in 1911 devised the door which was stuffed with material and then it was given a stockinette stocking recovery and painted with oil paint and then varnished and hence you get is rather shiny effect here this is in superb condition yes this in fact was made by ktcruiser for expectant mothers and they would hold these babies in there that's a real baby and then they would have an idea wait for the baby now this was filled with sand the early ones and this is an early one was filled with sand it's in fact meant to be 5 pounds in weight yes is four it's really Kili it's but two and a half two and a half two days and then I guess about the rest of it yes she is she's very floppy and she she's lovely and so this would be a doll that would be in maternity clinics yes - yes to show what a baby is going to be like when you when you wash it I'm saying even got the tummy but yes and I think that's wonderful some of them the later ones don't and the later ones do not have this heavy weighted body usually on the right foot there is a mark which it does actually say Kusum a doll at auction similar to this in this condition would make somewhere in the region of 10,000 which is about four thousand hearts that's nice here Eleanor is wearing the fortuny gown isn't it fantastic I have to say that I've never seen it looking better when I was wearing it it is wonderful I think it's obvious looking at it that it is an exceptional sort of manufacturing technique this wonderful quilted silk pleated silk is something that one hadn't seen for decades until in fact a couple of years ago when this sort of fleet came back in again for Tunis you probably know was was born in Spain but actually spent a lot of his time in Italy and died in Venice in about 1949 so he was had a lonely working period and he was very influenced in his early career by the aesthetic movement by the pictures and paintings of Alamut Adama and what he wanted to do was to make something that was beautiful but was also very unstructured so for the first time you can imagine these highly corseted women were put into garments like this and I mean how does it feel to wear [Music] it's comfortable I mean for the the first ladies who put them on they said actually it felt as if they had nothing on because it was so liberating you know not to be corseted not to be laced but actually to be to be free and when you moved you've got this wonderful feeling of sort of water I saw it in a shop window of an antique shop actually it was they didn't deal in textiles and I knew what it was instinctively when I saw it and I had to have it and know how much do you have to pay for it oh we're talking me at least 25 years ago I paid $300 for quite a lot of money then it must have had an impact on your on your living expenses that well I wasn't paying my rent that matter they are quite rightly I think really sought after not only by museums but also actually by people who want to wear them well I mean I think we're gonna have the problems getting it off fella now you give it up before you go because they are eminently wearable so the value of this I would have said between 1800 and perhaps two and a half thousand pounds what you wanted to hear yes yes absolutely right now it's a wonderful object perfect this is a typical Dutch Bureau the start is typical but what is interesting the influence of abroad is this molding here this ripple molding is very like the Indonesian influence in this country brought back in the 16th 17th century this very elaborate is lovely isn't it the way it catches the light lots of movement and it's a beautiful color yeah in a way you know I'm glad you've never cleaned this or anything it's just lovely original patination with dirt here all this dirt here it's a lovely lovely shape it's solid mahogany you know so it could be a wood from the Far East whereas mahogany normally comes from the Caribbean area yeah the West Indies this could be from the ascenders it to copy mahogany and that is probably my guess without a scientific analysis it may be a substitute mahogany from the Far East but I'm sure commercially will be called mahogany and it's the right period for mahogany about 1750 that sort of date middle of the 18th century but when you look that I love the way these drawers are made I mean it's so very nicely made but the best thing for me is is here is lovely handles did you know that the original handles weakest yeah nothing's been touched but these little decorations here all of these are handmade and stand somebody has the little hammer and a punch making these digital decorations which is why they all look slightly different but then what is really charming can you just see in this corner here it's been cleaned and touched there's the original color the original gold lacquer like a gilding look like French metalwork French ormolu just sit anywhere yes all the original color very nice drawers but again the color is superb but what is good you've got this influence here which is typically this Indonesian 1700 Indonesian Far Eastern influence leading down here to this lovely very very Netherland shape here very typical you see this it's not that far away from all the buildings here in Amsterdam if you took it at the top of the buildings you see this lovely arch it's that sort of influence you see it especially on fireplaces above fireplaces in Holland in the corner the Dutch fireplaces but what I think is extraordinary just realised act as I look here I didn't know this was a draw and I just this isn't that flight one yeah great big deep draw it's in extraordinary original condition what happens inside are there lots of things inside yeah few secrets few secrets what's so no doubt these are probably secret here are they these how do how does that one open does it just line and here this is for here is it the Sun yeah that's a 30 normal so yeah draw is there anything else giving away your slide away this one for the spring love it no ancient builders inside now but when you think that this is 250 years old the color of this earth and it's typical of Dutch made furniture to be with an oak carcass no absolutely typical yeah so it's solid mahogany but based on Oh and obviously they don't use the expensive imported wood on the inside and this again is typical you get this in in Great Britain as well this idea of course the Netherlands Dutch influence is very strong in England in the late 17th century and you but in England by this time this has gone away it's disappeared this slide inside the wells because we call it in Great Britain it's a lovely piece of furniture is it a family piece did you inherit it or my father bought it in 1946 in an antique shop here and I'm I can see it being five or six thousand pounds easily at auction easily that's twelve fifteen thousand guilders that's the price it's a beautiful piece of unrestored furniture promise me one thing never do anything to it never have it restored never clean it just leave it as it is the only cleaning it needs is me and you touching it in the dust oh yeah no wax nothing now doesn't really need it's a lovely color already isn't it nice to actually have a photograph apart from being your great-great-great-great grandfather to have a photograph of a man who fought in the Battle of Waterloo this is marvelous really because there can't be many photographs like this and there he is he's wearing his Waterloo medal and beside that he has another now I think that he was also in the Peninsular war which was brought before the Battle of the moon let's have a look at the edge now now arraigned on the eh er here it says William Cottle gonna roll foot artillery now he could have been in one of those famous artillery batteries like Mercer Mercer was the commander of an artillery battery at all today and also captain Ramsey he was he was made major and he died captain Ramsey so your great great great great grandfather he must have known Mercer and he must have known Ramsey we should thing anyway the value of a Waterloo medal is something like three to four hundred pounds but because you've got the photograph as well I would put the value at about 600 pounds because that photograph is so important okay so you must treasure this and I assure you will your life this belong to Tony Hancock the comedian so this yes I'm pretty sure that's right so of course I did a film didn't he hold the punch and this is it really and you have that's the Judy from the same film and we have all the other puppets and the stage aren't you lucky to have grown up with these you do the trick with the sausages do a little bit of at the back there yeah very impressive they are one fi'ty what you must take this over the whole set over to Hillary she'd love to see them my grandfather bought it at an auction in 1949 knowing that it was a member of my father's firm yes what is it very very pretty fortune with this young girl and to be honest I always think of Francis coats being a painter and oils and I don't name any pastels by him I don't if there's any evidence I can't see any signature mind you these pencils are very rarely signed I think we've got to assume that he probably is by Frances page rather than definite bytecodes it may be that there's an oil which is an existence of all kind of the full-size but in this half length portion of it somewhere we'd have to do some more work or you should do some more work in order to find out because I think it would be kinda interesting to kind of learn a bit more on something like the National Portrait Gallery in London yes fairly wise I think that if it was just on its kind of market then yes then problem is something like 1,500 to 2,000 pounds but because he has had a treasured member of your family then I think for insurance you will probably put it up to three three and a half thousand pounds right well this is served for my parents sure they bought it there before the war in an antique shop in New Orleans so right well in fact these are what's is not surprised well try to pieces off these this is broken off well just to put my past well these in fact uh it's sort of underlies what we're seeing a lot today is is material which was here because of the East India Company the Dutch East India Company and these are slightly you rarely see these Outsiders outside of Holland not not awful because these are actually made these are late means these are actually made towards the end of the sixteenth century the beginning the 17th of these both of these are the same the same thing these are made this material here is very very crude it's got a very what I would call a waxy or waxy looks like candle wax this material see that the glaze rather very irregular and it's fired on all this this round here it's it's um it's fire on grit kiln grit and this is one of the yeah and whereas normal Chinese porcelain is not fired on grit this way so this is quite unusual this is very distinctive and wonder what stirred what's the normal kind of Chinese the Chinese where they fire they fire them on little stilts or little support like these but exactly yeah so this is how you identify this way you can tell me their eyes shut what it is if it's not in terms of Chinese it's not important material that's very interesting from the point of view of trade and the fact that this stuff I bet you was found in Southeast Asia this is probably originates it was shipped from China to Indonesia or or to the Philippines you find the stuff all over there yeah this one is typical because it's grayish and it's rather washed out it's not a great material this is much more interesting can I just give you this one back I'm so much right I've got it well this is the conventional rather crowded scene with Duncan what have you and it's a it's a really typical example of the late main decoration with the use of scale pattern on the border on the borders here this is what you find on all kinds of lately importance but geometric patterns with panels of flowers the way it's broken up is absolutely characteristic of this I mean even in this condition this is probably worth with the bits of my pocket they're probably worth around about three four or five hundred pounds which is presumably about a thousand guilders it is a linen dress the mini of course but I wonder what people use it for now I wonder if they use it for pressing flowers and things like that all for it's not very practical for sheets and things is it I mean you could use it I suppose for pressing handkerchiefs if you wanted to something like that but it's so nice and it's obviously not being used very much a lovely condition and this very nice mahogany but it's typical shape of Dutch furniture you know if it's just like a Dutch chest of drawers of 1804 these outset corners here I would say certainly would have to pay to buy this at least four or five thousand guilders is this the complete sets that you bought or just edited highlights I've just brought a few along with it you've got all the others and the stage that goes with it is very good so there's the baby and the policeman and the others Punch and Judy the the story the figures themselves have been around really since well for time immemorial for many hundreds of years the story it's a classical story the figures haven't changed at all in in Europe you have function Ella same sort of figure Punch figure with a hump on his back and so on normally I would say that they they have a certain value because they're decorative they're part of English heritage with European heritage but with this obviously was put into a completely different Malou because you've got not only the objects themselves the puppets but you also have this connection there with Tony Hank often perhaps one of his his best loved and and most famous roles one illness gets then into the into the field of memorabilia so you've got a double a double interest there looks as though it's in there in good condition obviously they've been used which is nice you know I think that it's lovely to feel that there have been generations of children at the seaside or wherever that have been entertained what did you know I hate asking especially burger who asked it anyway what did you prepare people my husband can't remember he was it was a very small amount because the man wanted the tradition to continue rather than wanted to get a good price for that's nice so he sold it because your husband was going to be using it yes fantastic any old set of Punch and Judy from the 20th century would have a value I would have said perhaps two hundred and fifty three hundred and fifty pounds and then sort of middle hundreds but because it has this link through Tony Hancock I have a feeling that there would be not only Tony Hancock fans who would be interested he obviously would have Punch and Judy people who have been interesting themselves but more importantly you might find some of the institution's film museums and so on and I would say the value would be more like perhaps seven hundred to a thousand pounds maybe even more than a thousand pounds I think that it's it's a very memorabilia is notoriously difficult to quantify but I do feel that these would have that sort of pulling power I connected my whole life dollhouses and thinness and I'm 60 now and six years ago I started collecting glass because it was too expensive to find nice things right the first thing was this one where did that come from from the last contain a feeding from a bottle Bank yes but it was just a city people do it because one year ago I saw I was almost crying and beautiful signs and restricts broken were standing on top of the glass in my neighborhood there for somewhere else but you won't believe it you know when you see it in fact it's amazing so good quality art glass has just thrown away to be recycled and they don't see how beautiful it is Lia dam is the factory copier in this case the artist I think he's a man who is in some ways one of the key figures in glass making in Holland he was first associated with the factory I think in 1914 as an apprentice began to work with the factor from the early 1920s and continued up until his soon and to before his death I've been to about 1970 designing first individual pieces and then designing glass which was in the modern style individually made are hand-blown techniques but design for serie product for quantity production there was the unica serious there was a Sarah Cooper series and these are I think here we have a number of pieces that represent his work in this period this is a copy of piece isn't it yes yes and so is this right very interesting plate which I like very much with this curious or abstract edge design in fact on this plate you can see the mark quite clearly the etched mark on the bottom now this of course makes collecting this was a glass quite easy doesn't it because yes marking is good unlike glass of earlier periods it's like surround me because I I shouldn't say these are all 1930s pieces or between the more pieces and they show the experimentation in technique that was so characteristic of them the other piece I like very much is this yes this is a Hoffman style piece for about 1910 also going back to Bohemia amethyst glass of the 1840s wonderful historical links with present modern design and I think this interplay between glass production between architecture between design is the fascination of this period all these pieces to me tell a story they are representative of this exploration this explosion of ideas that was characteristic of design during the 1930s all the boundaries went down all the barriers were broken but what I can't get over is the fact that you buy them for nothing I mean these are really quite expensive and collectible pieces you must know that yeah but I only collect them not for the money but for they are so beautiful they're wonderful but I mean they are we never to be worth money there's they haven't be insured nothing no but these sort of pieces as you say a few years ago they were not considered now they're considered more and more I would put on these sort of pieces on this sort of piece all of these I put about 600 guilders would you pay it would you agree with that I don't know not not in total no no so any if you can buy for two guilders or even find it mm-hmm and you can take it home when it's suddenly worth 600 guilders I think you're doing very well indeed thank you well it's most unusual to find an Italian picture like this here in Holland really is done here we've got the signature antonio man cheney 1892 one of the great late 19th century Italian painter's what did this come from history did you buy it Elizabeth no we bought it in Holland in honey actually when celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary Oh wonderful on the Isle of pixel in a very small Old Curiosity Shop what you found this picture this picture hanging there wonderful because it's so well it's impossible at this stage absolutely to confirm that it is by mangini but there are many many things about it that look very much distinctively him and looking particularly done by the signature she's standing on some sort of animal furs and shame and the way that fur is painted is absolutely the technique of man Cheney then one's got these rather wonderful where the highlights are handled on the dress I think what I should say immediately is that this picture is very dirty we noticed that you've probably found that when when you found it in the Curiosity Shop but it's got areas like this where the whites are completely discolored into yellows by here and when that's cleaned off it will be transformed I hope but I think final judgment has to be reserved until after that cleaning has actually taken place but here we have on the face of it a really wonderful portrait by Antonia mangini we actually didn't know who was much in here but we like to just like the picture that's always the best way it's always the best reason for buying a picture you should like it first and foremost and then very often financial advantage from that it's superb we shall see but I mean on the face of it this is a answer as a genuine mangini its son must be worth at least 20 to 30 thousand pounds which is 50 60 70 thousand guilders perhaps more of it clean as well but subject to final confirmation from the Italian authorities obviously but it could have been a very profitable 10th wedding anniversary I think because we bought it's a fraction of that price thanks very much bringing well I must say we've had a really excellent day here in Amsterdam with some fine quality items and I've actually lost count of the number of people who have come up and said how much they enjoy watching the program it would appear that it's as popular here in Holland as it is back home now of course we're also often asked for tips about antiques and if you've got a question that's burning to be answered by our experts then why not pop it on a postcard and send it to Antiques Roadshow here box 2 - 9 bristol PS 99 7jn it can be anything you like associated with antiques what's the difference between hard and soft paste porcelain how do you tell marquetry from pakka tree anything like that and we'll do our best to get to the experts to answer it during the next series one thing however I'm afraid we can't answer your questions by posting our particular pule join us next week at the same time for the last programme in the current series we're then in the Somerset so until then from all of us here in Amsterdam goodbye the paintings of van Dyken Holbein are examined in a history of British art over on BBC 2 in 15 minutes next here on BBC one it seems that aliens have landed in Loch du mer [Music]
