Antiques Roadshow UK Series 18 Episode 7 Alnwick Castle Northumberland Part 1

[Music] you join us this week in the Magnificent setting of an ik castle home for the last 700 years of the Percy family the Earl's and Dukes of Northumberland and in all of that time annika seen many events but nothing I suspect quite like the Antiques Roadshow you won't find a building anywhere in England that so perfectly illustrates the military sciences of fortification and defense that is the whole reason for annex existence the sheer beauty of the landscape this picture of rural tranquility belies the fact that for hundreds of years this part of England was a constant battlefield as the Scots fought their way south and the English with equal determination fought their way north this is where they often clashed and Anik became a vital part of England's defenses during the seven hundred years of its existence the town has grown up in the protective shadow of the castle it's been unaffected by the great industrial changes that have transformed so many of the towns of tyneside and it remains much as it must have appeared to the stagecoach passengers travelling between Newcastle and Edinburgh one of the most striking features of Anik is the army of little people around the ramparts they are quite literally eighteenth-century garden gnomes and they were put here by the first Duchess but about a hundred years later the fourth Duke fought them in the worst possible taste and tried to knock them off well obviously he wasn't very successful because a dozen or so have survived to this day the most elevated figures atonic today we are the guests of the Duke of Northumberland who's kindly opened up the grounds of the castle for the Roadshow team so let's now join our experts anybody got a suit of armor for me nice arms have you been shopping at sanic castle by any chance well it looks very like a piece in the castle where did you get it from I inherited from my mother she was married in 1918 so I think she would buy it at auction what in the early day so just off the great water because people call these bull cabinets Andre shabu is the cabinet maker making these things in the late 17th century so the brass here has been cut out and inlaid into this to know what the wood is not at all it's nicely polished you've been punishing it loving the or time it's emanating Evan it's not always black it can be with easy Scott here these striations this color here this light color sometimes you have a greeny Fleck into it at all it's not always jet black so this brass has been inlaid into the ebony and they've engraved this to give it depth and shadow this engrave lines here firstly let's establish the nationality what do you think it is French yeah any reasons why'd you know why no just to get the little lock turns twice it's French yes does it let's have a go once very clearly twice so that's a French yeah English locks only did it once and the craftsmanship superb in it if you look at this he is he looks like back as to me but have you noticed something about the eyes not really because he's looking at you now I wonder if this was made as a pair could it be for example in the castle there are two pairs with similar mass now I think that this one is looking at you the pair would have been looking at me this is probably 1850 1860 so it's a late example he's a very rare maker you wouldn't expect honestly to find a police Bible very often on Antiques Roadshow even this great big piece are difficult to find I mean at auction you would have to pay be prepared to play between five thousand up to eight thousand pounds where can I sell it for he probably doesn't need another one but you could try as oh yeah now tell me a little bit about where it came from well I inherited from my father who was in the Navy who indeed got it from his grandfather who was also in the Royal Navy and apart from that I'm very sad to say I don't know a great deal about it well it's in marvelous condition it doesn't look as if it's being used much certainly not recently oh no but I remember my father dragging it out of it in the back of the 1930s there when we used to go on picnics and demonstrated how we could tell the time by this sundial effect you know yes well let's just look at it because it is in this marvelous fish skin case and I love the imprint here from the the Noman and the the leveling screws into the lovely green velvet at the top so what we have is a universal equinoctial dial so called Universal because it could be used anywhere and it was basically a machine for telling the time you've got the two levelling bubbles there and you would level it with these screws you'd line it up with North which it almost is you'd lift up the hour dial and then here along the side you have the latitude which is numbered here from naught through to 60 so latitude for London is about 52 I think so if we were in London we'd put it down to 52 put up your Noman level it up again to north we've only the Sun would come out I would be able to tell it's a member so absolutely invaluable because there was no universal time there was no Greenwich Meridian until 1875 and so if you came up from London to panic you'd be on local time and this would be the way of finding out what the time was the maker here banks two brothers in fact had the names banks there was a brother Anthony who spelt the name ba n c KS and a Robert banks who sometimes misspelled the name just without the C's so I think it's much more likely to be Robert than Anthony and they were working between about 8 1795 through to about 1830 it's a lovely size it's in fantastic condition and I would say that the value would be between 1000 and 1500 pounds jeanny worse happens well it looks as though this picture has been in been in your possession for some time from the condition of the Mount my grandfather hasn't bought it in the early 1950s probably in or around nuclear it's by Mars bucket foster's you know and although we think of him as a Surrey artist in fact he was born in North Shields so it's so it seems entirely natural that we should find this view here and do you know the viewers at the local view of I think the castle is known as fast castle but we're not certain where it is I mean it's certainly a rugged coast who could well be up here even though they're quite loosely painted the faces there is a sharpness to the to the quality of the paint and of course his son also tended to pass his own works off with his father's as his father's paintings with a monogram on so you do have to be very very careful if I have one criticism from a commercial point of view of the picture that it's that of course it contains a bit dead bird which is not terribly popular but as to value it's a very beautiful one it's in you kept it in beautiful condition it's got its original frame somewhere between sort of five and seven thousand pounds now okay so it says Eric's an Arab gun now have you had the best rent I did here it reads 1280 100 normally well Muhammad was born about 600 odd years after Christ so their calendar starts later than ours so if we put 600 years on there you're coming up to about 1850 1860 so bronze very deep rifling in the front now now you see these little fellows here give gift of the spin and that accounts for that very deep life ring my goodness me oh she comes out she turns this piece was made in about 1860 but it could be yours anything like 100 years afterwards Gandhi so here we are at with kitchen rock cartoon but because this isn't a cannon in the conventional sense of the word this is more like a howitzer poetry now cannon is very much in demand and being a bronze barrel and the whole thing is complete you would have to pay you would have to pay something like eight to ten thousand pounds come on - this box apparently came from George 30 was given by George Shaffer to his illegitimate daughter that's the story yes we've got the christening cake of HRH the Prince of Wales Windsor Castle 1842 and inside there's a good job I'm not feeling peckish inside the christening of treasures this is a lovely little ivory box decorated with gold lenoir it says on the outside and inside is a gold tooth pick certainly dating from 1817 90 perhaps 1,800 and worth I'm sure perhaps a couple of hundred pounds signature it was given to me by the daughter of the artist yes and she had a considerable number of paintings in her house and she took me round the house telling me all about her father and when we came to this picture I said you know I can just see your father she must have known about lying to you pinching and I said one for deciding into a vendor and he said my dear he did regularly have it but I actually it's it's actually such a wonderful breezy picture even there it's a sketch to me it has such a wonderful atmospheric feeling of light and a very positive so I would have thoughts in the region of sort of 1500 2000 pounds but I think it's what is a things from the beard of HM in Georgia that after death no nice to see you in the flesh first i watch this program regularly i love cameos the reason is that when I first left school I went to work in a jewelry shop in Bloomsbury in London that used to specify especially have stopped cameos and this is a shell and it's carved shell and it goes back to run about the 19th century the mid 19th century they're often very good classical subjects and the subject matter on this particular one is Cupid and Psyche which is one of the more popular classical themes classical ones are the most commercial sort that we say well tell me a little bit more about how you came by well my uncle died I got some of his furniture in China and different things and that was just in a box amongst with some odds and ends well I think originally it was a brooch right now this has been very very carefully mounted in fact it's very securely and tightly mounted up but if we were to remove the brooch from this padding and look at the back of it you'll see a brooch pin that's why the larger brooch isn't it it was the typical thing at that time and the gold frame with this sort of engraved oh yes it's not metal it's gold well if you look at modern cameos you see that the quality of the carving is very sharply defined the nose the chin are points they're like pyramids but this you can see every contour in the face you can see every contour in the hair and look at the way that the Carver here has got this wonderful design on the wings where he's really got a lap defect it really does look like wings all I'd really like to see if we could get the thing away from its frame is possibly whether it might be signed because of course if it was signed then you talk about him even higher price for it nevertheless I mean yeah well tell me fools what do you think I don't I took that your jewelers all quite a few usually sets are about fifty pounds but then that's quite a long time that's quite a while back well I think because of the quality because of the subtlety and because of the sheer sort of force of the carving here I think that as a brooch we're talking about in perhaps approaching a thousand pounds of oil yeah yeah good job I helped told me to bring it then the upholstery's on on this chairs must be almost unique is it part of a larger set um no we only have two and how long have you had them um the green of my husband's family about 50 years I can imagine it part of a large sat on set with probably two armchairs four of these and possibly even a set e but to heaven this condition is extraordinary the shape and the decoration of these animals although it's following the 18th century style of French tapestry but it completes a different technique that they're lovely chairs I think not quite as big and as generous as the French gilt wood chairs copying the lower 15th chair I think an unusual feature for these is the casters on the front and the idea of that is probably quite obvious but when you're you can just move the chair forward like that yes and it just runs on the front casters so people have often said to be wise only got tassels on the on the front I mean though they're not missing on the back I never had them I think it's rather nice and I want to actually show you why they're english underneath who don't sit down and relax Thank You this is rather treats we're glad to signature quite rightly to say we won't keep you long on it but they they are lovely and they turn up so beautifully firstly you've got this strut here it's a typical beechwood railing here exactly what you expect in English or French frames but that its absolute typical of English work and after about 1850 ShoreTel disease made the Victorian cabinet makers and chair makers made a little solid block so they do away with this piece and the webbing here you can see is totally originally with this French type of ticking here all typical original french-style webbing but again English I must repeat English and of course the most obvious thing is a kilo of Lancaster this fits in very nicely the Eider about 1830 1840 it's a problem to decide in a way what they're worth I mean you know I mentioned country house and they have that country house look at them have you any idea of the value of them in a country house say I can see them making to two tonne a half thousand pounds they're smashing their really museum pieces so let's get off them off thank you very much now this is a wonderful piece it's very extraordinary it's very powerful very evocative and I think it indicates the strength of the background to the culture of Western ISM cowboys-and-indians which is a strong fourth through through are much stronger than we realize this is a piece that you've always enjoyed always had always enjoyed it necessarily I got it out in Malawi Malawi Malawi yes didn't know your Cowboys they're not it well what happened I was playing golf with a friend yes and he took me back home and I saw this and one of the back corners you know it was covered with grime mmm and everything and I said oh I'd like that someday well the ventually when I left he agreed very good well it's prawns it's very well fascinated it's got a whole range of colors upon it which are partly aged partly applied by the artist the artist is called Corbin and he was an Austrian American who lived between 1865 in 1922 working Park in Europe art in America this is long before John Wayne and stagecoach and in the 1930s the great ear of the Western and the quality of the modeling is very much in the the detail of the animal the life of the figures and the way the whole scene is is sort of it is frozen in time but you can see the whole scenario the piece tells a story in a very graphic way can I ask what you paid off that long debate over two years yes sir I paid 800 he wanted a thousand I think that was quite a good price a piece like this now the broad market band here would be three thousand to five thousand if it were Remington you know we'd all be jumping up and down and they're gonna be retired forever but it isn't them and it's the usual thing the top figure in a school fetches far far more than the followers but it's still I think a very undervalued piece and of course in America the price would probably be considerably higher this is a very much a European sort of insurance valuation well thank you very much indeed thank you and here we have the rather nervous little girl you know Heidi's as a child I mean geese were Halleck always the chasing one and tried to bite but I've never met a friendly goose yet but I think in this case they are they are I mean I love the story here and I love her expression slightly nervous and things like that but what is interesting about $0.19 repeat is that they are extremely slick painters now I like this I think Ramsey charming and I would for something like this three to five thousand pounds so when you go back home try very carefully souvenir in commemoration of the Titanic inquiry July 19 was the Titanic inquiry and my my grandfather to whom we belonged was on the Board of Trade inquiry into the disaster of the Titanic this was a commemorative watch and my father had it and wore it all the time well I'm glad you've got this good quality in the old days people used to pickpocket these watches and the way they would do it although their watch was on the chain the bows snapped off but in this one you've got a swivel bow so you can't snap but bow off do you see what I mean I wondered whether just with note it's meant to swivel it's an anti-theft device a sign of good quality English work good nice 18 karat half hunter that's in the region of five six hundred pounds and a nice good long nine carat chain about 350 good thank you very much [Music] sorry to read well on the face of it it looks at there we have a rather grand gorgeous gaudy Regency scrap album and then I began to look through it even further and found that you had things like this little bits of ephemera belonging to the lottery the lottery which presumably was back in the Regency period and also you could win quite a substantial amount well absolutely it says he had 20,000 200 pounds that seems an awful lot of money then it must be many millions now but there's wonderful political cartoons here this one here which is totally politically incorrect I would have thought the hadees' it's a wonderful album where'd you get it from the local auction room what here in an emetic here dudes how long ago 10 years ago and you paid a lot of money for it hundred have you shown dit to the somebody like bishop museum have they seen it I took it down to the British Museum and they were not too interested in the prints which as you say of years opted out but they were interested in historical Doug well not in not any debt but they should I'd might have been a bad day for them I don't know but they should have been interested in things like this I mean victorious Britons on Long Island or Lord has conquest over the Americans I mean all this sort of thing is is very exciting you have hundreds of these ballads I'm not particularly interested in valuing this side of the colored side of it I love the black and white side of it I would not hesitate to put a value of two thousand pounds don't do that almost if you do throw it in my direction I think that will be an absolutely splendid thank you so much for bringing a volunteer well essentially what we've got here is a very beautiful Hepplewhite influenced ladies dressing table and has got a classic serpentine front a beautiful convex then concave aspect to the the main doors and what some date actually there would be late very late 18th century 1790 to 1800 it has got a wonderful aspect of distressed and faded gentility I believe my grandfather bought it between the two world wars and it spent most of its life in a bay window unfortunately south-facing because it was already faded when this first came from the producer it would have had the the brilliance and the freshness of a horse chestnut freshly broken from us from its shell the veneers were chosen for their for their brightness for their richness for the luxury ins and sadly especially the top it has lost all that depth and color opinions split as to whether you should leave it or do something to it yeah it does leave us with something which though nice to live with I would only probably fetch three four thousand pounds if it was sold like this but if it were the color were restored to it it would probably end up at ten thousand plus well I like it the way it's beautiful well now as you know during this series we're asking our experts to talk about their own particular collecting passions this week it's the turn of Vicki Lisa and Vicki your passion is for porcelain I always think it's the most romantic story of the loss isn't it well it is Hugh and it started so long ago when you think the Chinese were making really sophisticated pieces before we even in the West even knew that you could get such the hundreds of years before sure absolutely and what I've done I've just taken a sample of the sort of porcelain that we absolutely love to collect starting with Japanese things because Japanese porcelain came into Europe colored it's very first time in about sixteen sixty one you can imagine the excitement those little ships coming into Holland opening up the holds and inside for the very first time there was colored porcelain because they were used to simply blue-and-white blue-and-white they'd never seen it before but obviously had they seen these animals before well I don't think the matters that I could ever come anywhere near one it seems to be a sort of a beast come to almost entirely of his imagination and likewise all their birds they're all at a scale who cares they were a fantastic time and they'd rather remind me you know of the the sort of same gutsy passion for modeling that you get in Staffordshire pottery for example much later of course but people are having a good time making what they enjoyed doing in brilliant colors and the influence is not only the influence of the raw material itself they invented the porcelain it then comes to Europe but they influenced our design thoughts too oh sure we have a Japanese plate made in about Oh 1680 we then have the same patterns running around the rim here traveling onto this bow plate sometime later when he's mad quo and you always get the blue quail standing in front of the red quail and the red quail always really be open even got a sore throat then you get Chelsea doing it then you get Shanti in France doing it and better still you've got Chinese porcelain here possibly a painted in Japan we really don't know the best thing about pottery and porcelain to me is that we don't know the answers yet we honestly haven't planned it out and yet when you look at those five pieces they appear as if they could all have been made in one thank you exactly she was actually given to me by my grandmother who I got it as a gift from someone who she worked for was a wonderful gift because she's a French doll by the firm Izumo in Paris they started in 1842 she dates to around 1876 she's known as a portrait jhoomar because she has a very definite special face and she's got wonderful spiral paperweight eyes which were made in the same way as glass paperweight and she's early because the bisque is pressed bisque fired and then the ears have put on and then colored and then she's fired again [Music] she would have been a doll made for really the rich family and her dress would have been made by probably the mothers need a woman's hem stris and almost identical to the mother's dress I'm going to show her mark on her body I always feel quite embarrassing yes but I'm going to be a doctor now here we have Zoomer med Idol now there was a gold medal that sumo one Indiana in 1873 they also won a gold medal in Philadelphia in 1876 and I think this is probably well they got the medal so that will tell you it's the Jumeirah body and she's an important tall she's so far she's just been wrapped up in that lace since we've had her and put in the bottom of a wardrobe and that is how she's remaining heard no I no idea whatsoever if you were to find her in this lovely original dress which is satin you would have to pay in the region of six thousand pounds gosh super little collection you brought him can you just tell me how you got hold of me school sale about ten years ago and they were all in a big heap yeah on the table and I asked the woman ham that she wanted for the plate and she said twelve pounds I mean those are really stunning place this is a very very unusual design it isn't mark but do you know just as it is you've got three times you twelve pounds back on that one there's a lovely pair he doesn't like well these were made about 1820 and in any antique fair a pair like that would be at least a hundred and fifty burns you know we do rock the well on this loss you like well obviously that's a stand for it for a dessert basket you put a basket on there that'll be pierced around the outside oh goodness me Dede and company david dunder del and company Castleford pottery that's the option that's the yorkshire Yahtzee Castle for pottery little crack in it boy on a buffalo pattern same sort of date maybe in little early 1810 even with a crack 70 or 80 pounds it's a very rare piece though it was a really rare yeah Mark David under Dale is rare I think that yeah here we are now this is is not as early so this is a 20th century piece no mark Gimbert 6:34 means it was potted in June 1934 and well it's a mix of 3035 bones it actually shows that the the virtue of buying something you really like you didn't know the value you bought it because you liked it and it's paid off financially but don't sell them oh they're on a dresser at all where look down yeah these cups here are frankly pretty frightful they're very crude quality this is very cool and he's a lot of this oh this is interesting what about these two and where did you get this collection from all right these are actually made in Japan for export to the West but these pieces are absolutely fascinating they're Chinese blue and white but made for export to Japan in the 17th century in about 1630 they're quite unusual they're called cosa netsuke where's they have pseudo Chinese marks on changhua early Ming marks and the style of it is slightly more folksy little more more neat naive to appeal to the Japanese taste these of course are very little value compared to these I suppose with these plates each one must be worth something of the order of up to 500 pounds each look at that absolutely complete not just knives but you've got everything here by looks of it you've got a soup ladle do you have any connections with Portugal I do I'm actually Portuguese you are I inherited this from my aunt who passed away last year she well you've got a jolly good thing here because this is that she made in Oporto around about 1800 and what's so extremely nice is that you've got just about everything yeah fish slices as we say soup ladles the knives the forks spoons even got ladles and sugar tongs here and every single piece that I picked up so far has got the same mark on which is that P therefore a porter now the value of subject objects usually depends on how complete they are now this is absolutely complete but all its original braid and look at this work in the lid here because it's so complete in such great condition you're looking at probably two two and a half thousand pounds well a leather case like this is a sure sign of a French carriage clock trust that I'm right let's have a look oh and if I might say so far better than the average will this what a lovely thing is who had it a long time well I've had it since 1951 it belonged to my husband's aren't and how old would you think it was well let's just have a little look and I see there I didn't what you'd ever noticed that there's a little tiny stamp and that's the French maker of rock or who is a very good quality makeup really and the other thing that I noticed inside here which is lovely in fact there are two gongs and two hammers we've got striking silent and full strike ears at red I was ever on full stretch because I left occurred well full striking in this instance means grand sonorous strike here says drag grandson or a striking means that every quarter of an hour first of all gives you the hours and then dingdong dingdong normally is to show you each quarter so it's something like quarter to one you're going to get 12 and then three lots of dingdong dingdong have you mad no it doesn't you know I love it and if I was awake in the night I'd love to hear it reassuring yes and well the panels are lovely up now they're hand-painted they would indeed be hand-painted but can I just show you how very beautiful the frontiers compared to the sides and the reason that is of course is because the front has been protected by glass all around the outside you've got the original gold paint yes in this lovely stylized bits and little flowers along the bottom on the sides it's been handled obviously over a hundred years or so and you've lost most of the gold paint no I'd only that it's obviously been on a mantelpiece you see all this what it's really no more than smoke if I was to just wet my finger and rub that all of a sudden the sky there and the cloud becomes much cleaner really so if it were mine I would probably have these panels gently cleaned and then by a very good painter touched up with gold paint to bring it into line with that front view but let's just hear that the repetition which you can do as you know at any time and it will give you the previous quarter so it could do 8 and then dingdong for the sins of course let's just have a listen to that [Music] as its doing it you can see yes yes master couch a very nice comes down now to the price do you have it insured have you Soviet Ally yes what have you got it insured for 2500 and that was about 10 years ago it was done right well that is way out of date now ten years ago the market actually was in many respects stronger than it is today but a clock like this once you've had the basic restoration done on the panels which wouldn't be expensive realistically to a collector this would be a good six thousand pounds okay so you must up the insurance and where would you find another this is the thing so what can you tell us about this lovely little piece of furniture very little all I can say is that I always presumed but it's Dutch well that's right and I think I think it's fairly obvious this type of marquetry is typical of Dutch markedly but we have to be very careful with this because it's an 18th century shape and this market or in fact was always thought we put in later I see so one's got to firstly look at to see what date it really is and when you actually look in here the color is not the color of an 18th century interior when you examine the drawers and generally look around it it has a fear of possibly in mid 19th century piece which means that the marquetry is original where did you get it from it was bought by my father in 1937 right for a large sum of 30 pounds 30 pounds the best thing about it is this wonderful shape this concave and convex you know a lot more work has gone into that very good shape is Ted with this Bombay shape with again the outset candy corn it was very difficult to the media very difficult in fact it's um in fact is it veneers a good question yes it is you're right I thought it might have been solid Warner yes I mean you've got to actually glue that to the curve shape yes what is it amusing about it is when you look at the feet they're slightly different have you noticed that happened both corn borer feed this I think is the original here yes a little bits of hair carved on there and much more in proportion this one on your side oh it's much bigger it hasn't got a Harry Harry detail in the way here yes and it's a bit bigger and out of proportion never noticed but it's probably been on for 70 or 80 years I should think yeah put but I just want to look at the marquetry because if we just turn it round this wonderful shape here this is copying the Dutch 17th century marquetry they never did this in the 18th century as people believe you can see clearly the worn-out ground inlaid here with the birds the VARs surprised not to see any that may be a tulip actually of course it was the prized possession in England and Holland and Northern Europe in the 17th century people gambled fortunes on the price of a tulip bulb yeah they were worth a fortune at the time it was a very prized flower but lovely it's got all the age and patination and could easily be mistaken for being an 18th century piece well I think you should go home phone your insurance company you tell them you have a Dutch mid 19th century miniature Bureau and then short for 15,000 pounds very nice - have you ever seen him work no I haven't as long as I've known and we've been in that state and has been for quite a long time and has he been in your house or um tell me tell me how you had him well he was my great grandfather's and he was a he worked in Bainbridge's in Newcastle before the First World War and he was the manager of the tailors department and for as long as he was manager in the department this figure stood and did until he left and then passed to my grandma and that's about all I know that wonderful see he's known as the smoking dandy that's his that's his title and he he's by the French firm of rua de corn in Paris and he dates to around 1890 he's got a stop starter button just here which unfortunately although the button works you've lost you haven't got a key no well for that is that why you haven't ever seen him work yes well I think my grandmother Troy had him we stuffed at one stage but she wasn't very happy with it and she don't go any further we stuffed yes we stopped well maybe that's why his rather fire here because inside the body should be a clockwork mechanism which at the side a key would have gone in and wound up he would have had Lorne yets here which he lives his expression national McSween maybe he'd be lifting the sure route we put a Schrute in there and it would smoke and under here can you see there's a little canal and that goes the smoke would in fact go through there down his arm and his body and the clockwork mechanism would activate bellows in the body and shoot the smoke out through his mouth and so it was it was brilliantly done because as it smoked him out he would be doing this and his eyelids would be and so you begin yeah a nice day let's have a nice smoke and I mean he's a real character isn't he it's even sort of got these sort of naughty eyes that sort of look around I'm very good looking he's got the original outfit he would have had jeweled medallions on either end of here and someone's put on a little ballerina or something like that um but other than that he's not in bad condition and it's it's really worth having him restored I mean they'd have to get into the body yeah but it would have belonged to a fairly grand family even in its day it would have been a piece that would be taken out from soirees and he would be performing as they would have a little Orchestra little trio performing for their guests and of course smoking was the rage then not so much now but it may well be that the pipes all the way up of nicotine lined and need to be cleaned out but but it would be worth getting him working and possibly you'd have to spend as much as the thighs and pants to get him working but even in this condition do you have any idea what it's worth I haven't got a clue I think it of auxin in this condition without working I would put an estimate of between eight and twelve thousand pounds I think if you were to spend a thousand pounds to restore him it would add another 5,000 or so on to the price so we would then be quoting maybe you know ten to fifteen even as much as 12 to 18 he is a serious piece of autumn well that's the end of our day
