Chinese Fakes At Roswell Auction Gallery and The Regular Weekly Video Of Asian Art Auction News

[Music] well hello this is Peter combs from bit amount comm and Peele combs Asian art in Gloucester Massachusetts and today is April 10th 2020 and this is our weekly video but before we get started on this week's video something happened in the last it's been happening for the last week and a half and I wanted to bring it up to everybody it has to do with the the inquiry programs that we run on the website down here if you if you have an object that you're thinking of buying at an auction you can click this little button here it's called the preview assistant preview meaning you know to look at an item before you buy it not after and you can submit to us up to three links from any auction in the world we'll go take a look at it for you and tell you what we think of it whether or not you should buy it it's similar to the idea identification assistance service we have where you can submit images to us of objects you own or objects that you're thinking of buying and we'll tell you you know what our thoughts are on it and give you our opinion and so forth and this week we got a bunch of inquiries and last week we got a number of inquiries from a regarding an auction in Roswell Georgia and some of you may have seen this here it is Roswell auctions located at 1050 Northfield Court Roswell Georgia and I remember looking at this and thinking you know I remember Roswell rang a bell and I saw this Northfield Court address that really rung a bell and I said where have I seen that before and I did a little bit of looking and quickly I came up with this Laurin auctions is at 1050 Northfield court suite 125 Roswell Georgia and I thought for a minute well maybe it's another auction house sprouted up next door and it's a different name and so we did a little more digging and this will help refresh your memory this is the law and auction gallery and this is their a prestigious auction house founded by industry's most esteemed experts I guess they don't have a proofreader for Evers writing their website the the that's rather funny I did I did I remember looking into this site early on it's trying to find who their experts are and they don't even list the names of one person that works there on the site they don't even have their oxygen license number posted on the site which they're supposed to do under the law but for some reason they and so any rate this this will remind you more about our interactions with Lauren gallery we did a series of videos and a couple of blogs on the copies they were selling we had people emailing his pictures saying what is the story with these guys and we did a couple of opinion pieces and said that the stuff all looked like fakes and copies to us and Google treats our website very very well so what happened was it ended up promoting these posts right up the ladder so to speak and what you get now is if you Google in law and Auction Galleries lauren comes up here and then down here come the videos we did on them selling fakes and then below it there's a series of articles where they have our blogs listed about the lot of threatening of a lawsuit and so forth we did post the lawsuit right onto the site and you can go look at it here it is and you can read through it it's pretty hilarious they go through and cite the individual videos that we did and why we should just take them down or or be sued because we've done something that was actionable it wasn't actionable opinion pieces they can't really doing about it and I'd even offered if they can come up with one misstatement we made and demonstrate it to me I'll be happy to apologize and I never heard from the lawyers again from there and that was about a year and a half ago all right so there it is but one of the things that struck me funny was I went to Google Earth just to see to make double sure they were in the same place in here's 1050 Northfield Court in unit number 125 and here is 1050 Northfield court unit 240 they're in exactly the same place and here's a picture of the little strip mall that they operate out of it's a sort of a pretty scene on the middle of the country somewhere I don't know where it is but that's where they're located and the other thing that caught my eye was when I began to looking at the objects I saw the name Ireland Holmes repeatedly as provenance for the Roswell auction and I googled him and it turns out that a year ago they were handling mr. Holmes's estate apparently at loren galleries so so it's fairly safe to assume that there's a connection between loren galleries and roswell galleries and why they came up with a new name i don't know they don't have a website for it yet and so on but on to the objects we're going to take look this is the Roswell Auction Galleries listings on live auctioneers and they all bear a stunning resemblance in the type of material and the claims being made to the ones the way that Lauren Gallery did it and here's another day of their sale it's a two-day event its two-day auction and not everything here is attributed to belong to Ireland homes so I want to make you understand that but in my opinion everything I've seen on here is a copy all right everything all right and that's just how I'm looking at it all right and they have things like this and you always have to ask yourself when you find something that would be if authentic a great rarity how on earth could possibly turn up from a guy that built a major collection if this stuff was authentic it would be them one of the most important Chinese porcelain collections in private hands in the world in the world bar none just just unbelievable and how it ended up in Roswell Georgia with six to $900 estimates on things like this it's a chin long peach jar they didn't even identify it properly they called it a pomegranate reward base these are very famous form these those are peaches not pomegranates and they're all tied to the chin lung empire his 60th birthday there's a whole whole story about it about peaches and birthdays and whatnot but I'm not gonna get into it but there it is for the six to nine hundred dollar estimate when this giant pathetic would be worth in into the millions okay and here you have another piece that's supposed to I think this was another piece yeah supposed to belong to Ireland home so I'm not saying it didn't belong to him he may have bought them but it's it's a reproduction gwangsu vase with again another six to nine hundred dollar estimate it seems to be their favorite estimate and if a thetic this is a you know fifteen to twenty five thousand dollar pot and then you then they had some really big major fakes like this the yan dynasty Guan jar everybody knows about these everybody has seen the real ones they're in the Topkapi Museum they're in the Palace Museum they're in all major museums today virtually nearly all of them a few were in private hands but they didn't make that many and they're extremely rare they've been extremely rare for centuries and this one allegedly belonged to mr. in homes and it is a brand-new piece this this piece is well brand-new meaning it was made you know in the last 30 or so years I can't you can't say whether it was made in 18 1980 or 2018 there's no way of telling but it's it's it's clearly not an old piece and it has a six to nine hundred dollar estimate instead of a one to two million dollar estimate and then getting on to examples like this this this actually made me laugh I don't know if this belonged to him know it this was not one of mr. Holmes's but it was titled as a Ching dynasty scruff ATO ground turquoise blue Grey's candle it's not a candle holder this this this particular form comes from this these were made during the chin lung period for the chin lung Emperor on order and he typically gave them to visiting Buddhist monks and important religious figures as a sign of devotion to the faith coach inland was very religious and these are pretty rare I know a bit about them because we owned this one and sold it a number of years ago and as I recall it went for about $65,000 it was over ten years ago and here's a pair of them done in this crazy color with a rain mark these were not the originals were never marked so I don't know why they put the mark on there and they were never ever made in this color during the chin long period even though they claim it's from that period that color didn't exist as far as I know in the chin lung period with a six to nine hundred dollar estimate for the pair and then on to this the gin the plate with the with the the pomegranates and that this has pomegranates and so forth in it and in peaches no those are peaches those are not pomegranate sometimes they are apartment guys it's this one is just peaches with flowers going around the outer edge there's a detail of it with all the phony heaping and piling effect six to nine hundred dollar estimate again on a plate that would otherwise if a thetic would be worth you know a high six seven figures did owe for this the yellow plate another copy that apparently belonged to mr. Holmes and this is the granddaddy of all the fakes is this obviously is this massive very famous type of yan dynasty porcelain unbelievably rare and the idea that somebody could build up a collection like we've just seen that's filled several auctions for these two oxygen houses however they're structured in the guy just bought them around the countryside and was selling them you should just tell anybody know if this came out of the market it would only be handled either by your major gallery you know ashkenazi Chait that sort of thing or one of the major auction houses bottoms Christie's Sotheby's maybe to John and Paris Guardian and China something like that it sure wouldn't be going through an auction house with one action or two oxygens under its belt and then on to this that guang shootie dust glaze vase they call it a reward-based I have no idea why these were not reward bases but it's an interesting name to throw on it it is just all wrong the colors wrong the mark is wrong the glaze is wrong all this other stuff but pathetic these are worth gwangsu examples like this are worth anywhere from twelve to eighteen thousand dollars in today's market and then this the chin lung pierced celadon and it's pretty these are beautifully made pieces I'm not saying they're unattractive I'm just saying they're not authentic and if you want to buy it and you want to own a great copy these are good copies but they're not real they're not authentic and this one this point I know this one did not belong to Ireland this belong to somebody else apparently or they're not saying it belong to Ireland I don't know but you want to be very careful and we will get some of these images and post them on a blog and time to this video and put them up on the blog post the next in the next few days if we get a minute to do it alrighty so Roswell Auction Galleries appears to be tied to Lauren Auction Galleries and Ireland Holmes whoever he was seems to have bought an awful lot of fakes and it's unfortunate and if you buy them you're gonna probably regret it a great deal less you buy them assuming that you know that they're copies and you're you can live with that which is okay if you can live with it it's fine you know that's that's fine because most of us are in a position to shell out millions for porcelains alright so now we're going to get on to the regular weekly video I hope you found this useful okay and here we are with the regular weekly video and they don't want anybody to think I'm picking on this one particular auction house by the way I'm not there are dozens of auction houses across the country that are selling copies and all kinds of things and if you belong to the global member pages you can access the report card there and on it are listed about 275 300 auction houses at this point some of them are great and we rank them a B C D and F and the two auction house as I just mentioned they're both apps and avoid always but there is some that are very good and as you know if you're using the global pages if you're a subscriber we've been featuring them and there's some great things on there alrighty and one of the things I wanted to mention this week was we updated the pages twice son sat we did it on Saturday we did it on Wednesday and we're gonna have to do it again because a bunch of auctions closed yesterday and we're gonna get into them but one of the things I wanted to share was that there's some very nice things right now on invaluable and on live auctioneers on the global pages that we've filtered out as you can see there's a lot of good Japanese stuff of your Japanese buyer and you subscribe go over and take a look there's some good things on there some great Nets keys in rows and so forth and if you check out the pages on invaluable you're gonna find no this is the live auctioneers pages and valuables coming up next there are some great Ming pieces there's some really nice export wares on there there's some very very nice wanly plates and then you have things like this you have this is a up is this very nice match safe and closes in seven days its Meiji period mixed metal relief worked lots of gilding on it some silver patinated brass or bronze rather excuse me and this is the Ross auction houses having that sale and then this this didn't sell again this is this is a very very nice Chinese a Maori vase it has gone through a live auction is invaluable I think two or three times at this point they have a crazy estimate on it and they're not able to sell it and I really like this I think it's a good thing but I think it's probably worth you know eight to twelve thousand dollars not thirty to fifty thousand it evidently has a massive reserve on it this is Hess fine auctions in Florida and I suspect they seem like pretty nice people I think they're probably sick of this consignment by now and would you know if you like this jar you might want to call and make an offer for it because I suspect they might be willing to sell it at this point it's a good example and it's quite big 23 inches tall without the lid so this was a beast because it would be twenty six or seven inches with a cover so you might if you're a collector and you and you're interested in that kind of thing you might contact Hess auctions in Florida and see if they could negotiate a direct sale a lot of auction houses do that people don't realize that if you see something passed at an auction a little heads up here if you're watching an auction and something you notice passes you can contact the oxygen house afterwards and see if they wanted to do a private sale of it they often do some of the best pieces I ever bought I got from auction houses on negotiated sales after the auction and I bought them for half the low estimate in in many cases or less so you want to check it out because often the lawyers have to get the estate settled they can't wait for another auction and they take the money so just just a little tip there okay and this is something that just went up this is a really this is on the I think on the invaluable page is this really beautiful famille Rose planter it dates to the early 19th century but just fantastically well painted the shading of the famille Rose enamels on this are really really nice always look at the shading see how well it's done and the shading on this and the way that the peacock has done is just absolutely beautiful it's a really lovely example it's got a twenty-two hundred and fifty to three thousand dollar X estimate which is not unreasonable that is I think well worth it it's a beautiful piece and see how that does it sells in a couple of weeks and they also have this came up and the reason I put this in there it's irregular it's an export to mean and under trade but what struck me about it was the condition of the enamels the enamels on this and the gilding are just in remarkable condition it doesn't look like it's been messed with or cleaned up in any way but just a really really good example 1770s 1780s export bees it has a 2100 to 2800 euro estimate which seems pretty reasonable because of the condition the condition is so critical on these and they also have this this is a big wand li charger this thing is 48 centimeters in diameter so it's roughly 20 inches across it looks to be in very nice condition and it has a metal mount system on the back you can see here and here it's for hanging and it has a 2250 to $3,000 estimate is it worth it in that size I'd say yeah it's probably worth it because it's unusually big most one Li dishes as you know or you know 8 to 12 inches somewhere in there once they go over that 12 inch mark they get expensive but that this one is quite nice and also they have this this very nice cangjie Femi their export market wine cooler this is a good one and very nice colors beautifully beautifully shaped the potting on this looked quite good they love the way the foot flick goes under its flares out and then you have the the peacocks fleeing away from the flower and these yellow nicely done translucent yellow mask handles on the ends and twenty-seven hundred and fifty dollar estimate and then this this is a beast this is a big judging or 1ly period charger beautifully done very nice big example but gutsy drawing very powerful drawing on it the estimate on this is a little bit sniff 4,500 euros but we'll see how it does it's very nice and it is also big 42 centimeters so it's about eight seventeen inches across alrighty and onto this this very nice young gen period a teapot and stand has its original stand most of the time these teapots that turn up on the market there's the stand is long gone or you know as you know it's been divided up in a family and you know one relative got the under tray and one relative got the teapot alright here they are together a complete set 750 to $1,000 not bad similar one sold on eBay last week just for the teapot I think what we're gonna look at it but I think it went for 16 or 18 dollars and the other thing that we added under the under the the member pages was this stuff this is an auction over in the UK that's selling these things these are not Chinese these are Persian but they were really beautiful examples showing the influence of Chinese porcelain and Chinese art that went to the Middle East in trade that started during the Yuan Dynasty and continued into the Ming in the Ching where there was a great and amount of a large number of collectors of Chinese porcelain in the Middle East and in India to some of the one of the biggest collections of yan floor Celyn is in india not in china but this is a beautiful example and a nice 18th century pot and they have several others which i thought would be fun for people to look at even if they don't not interested in buying them necessarily but the Chinese influence on Persian pottery in Middle Eastern pottery is just so obvious here the bottle face and the bottle vase and so forth and they also have Chiswick says this they have a collection of bead rewear which is from India but the shapes are unmistakably Chinese this who formed vase done like a big wine jar beautifully done but made in bead R and B G where is this is a very dark metal that they they cooked up and then they would inlay it with silver and they most famously made hookah bases a lot of hookah bases out of beads we wear but they made other objects as well and there's a number of them in this sale so if you're on invaluable this weekend on the global member pages good I didn't check them out they're really interesting and it shows the interaction and influence again with other countries outside of China for trade goods and and they adopted shapes they adopted as we saw with the persian pieces the coloring the decoration and of course the persian pieces are not porcelain they didn't make porcelain those are all pottery with sort of quartz glazes over them but very interesting alrighty now let's take a look over and see what went on over on Kat wiki last week first thing was this this really nice iron Tetsu Bay this was a beautiful tattoo Bay and then it's inlaid with silver and gold it's a you know probably a late Edo or early Meiji period example I don't remember how they did they did it as taisho period I think it's a little older than that but they went for seven hundred and thirteen dollars and I think that was a very reasonable price that was a stellar example really really attractive here's a picture of some of the metalwork the silver work on this was spectacularly beautiful as you can see it's tarnished and it sort of blends in with the iron metal who would the iron in the pot okay and they would clean I would clean that gently with just the silver foam just to get the silver to come up a little bit Gold doesn't tarnish so it's not a problem but anyway it went for seven hundred thirteen dollars which they think was very reasonable and then this this beautiful inlaid cloisonne Japanese black polished vase this was a lovely vase this was a really really really pretty vase it was about a foot tall and here's the back of it beautifully polished great colors nicely formed and it looked to be in mmm immaculate condition but the detail of their cloisonne work was was the best in the world when they did these just absolutely the best fine wire or no wire inlay enameling the the Chinese China the Japanese examples were particularly notable for their ability to shade colors and if you look at these you'll see it's just beautiful shading and the leaves based on how the light was perceived to be hitting them by the artist nice thing and it went for eight hundred and forty five dollars which again I think was a very reasonable price that was a fine example really fine and then over here to this I had an inquiry about this somebody sent me a note I wanted to know what I thought of it and I liked it a lot I thought this was a nice garniture set Japanese bronze but beautifully done and complete and these were pretty big as I recalled these were like you know 15 inches tall but excellent relief work and in sort of typical of the Meiji period and even into the early 20th century but the settlement for seventeen hundred and two dollars which was over what I think is tomato or maybe I was in that range but pretty close but a really lovely lovely set of metalwork beautiful and then on to this was this I just like this these are fairly common they're Meiji period a Lotus form plates and then they put dragons and phoenixes and flowers and all of the lappets around the outside but just a very attractive form instantly recognizable as Japanese but but very fine quality and it went for two hundred and sixty three dollars and it was a foot wide this wasn't a little dish it was a nice sized piece and I think that was just a really great buy for a Japanese buyer I've noticed slightly more and more people are asking about Japanese things which is which is good to see because there's some great opportunities for collectors out there right now because there's a lot of good Japanese material on the market and the prices are not particularly crazy and you know with the virus thing going on I know not everybody's in a position to defend anew buying maybe like they were because the paychecks have slowed down a little but if you are in a position to buy get out there and start looking on the web because prices are a bit softer just in the last week because so many people are at home they've got their minds on other things eBay traffic is way down I've noticed the number of listings of good things from good sellers in Europe and here is down a bit probably down 30-40 percent from what I can see but it'll come back as soon as the the lockdown is over but you know it's an opportunity for people if you're if you're interested in these things okay and then mosey on over to here this was a nice pair of femi Jun soft lights of some femi June with some iver enamel vases these are good size they're about 13 inches tall beautifully painted beautifully done clearly 19th century but elegant and they did pretty well they brought three thousand and fifty eight dollars and it's interesting because it was another good-looking pair of nineteenth-century vases last week that also brought about three thousand dollars and I thought that was a sort of a strong price and I think this was sort of a strong price but it may indicate what people are more interested in these days - and then on over to here we get it - there it is is that famille Rose Junction teapot him and I had mentioned earlier that we were looking at the one that was over on and valuable it was a pot very similar to this with its original under tray here's one without it okay now it does have the Lotus stems underneath and you'd have to examine them pretty carefully the underside of it here to check it really carefully for damage because these stems were extremely prone to chipping and damage from from the pot being used but it's a nice old one and it ended up selling for nineteen hundred and eight dollars just for the teapot alright so you have one overrun invaluable that's got about a thousand dollar estimate thousand euro estimate with the under tray which makes it interesting and here's another famille Rose probably young China early chin lung rooster teapot this is a nice one like the big dome top on it it's nicely potted and it ended up selling for five hundred and eleven dollars and then on to this was one of the categories this form we've talked about many times and videos they come in all kinds of shapes and colors this one is underglaze blue obviously and it brought what they typically bring it was right in the center right right on the money six hundred and twenty six dollars we've said many times that these pieces typically sell in the five to seven hundred and fifty dollar range depending on the quality and so forth this was a nice one it did have a series of tunxi marks on the bottom it is not a country pot it's clearly later but it did have country marks all right and some collectors just like having marks so that's a good thing and then on to this was this very nice eighteenth-century terrine no under tray with armorial craft sonnet and Boar's Head handles and this did pretty well it brought three hundred and seventy-five dollars but the enamels were a little bit worn and had it been absolutely absolutely perfect that probably would have brought double that alright but you can see there's where to the enamels are along the edge and so forth and because terrines were used they people ate out of these all the time it was it was a it was a common dinner table item and then on to this we talked about this root last week I just mentioned it because I thought it was very nice that you could get four cups and four saucers have an instant little set of a well known sort of stock pattern that was used heavily in the in the 18th century around 1780 to 1800 it was a very common pattern and it did pretty well it brought 580 dollars for the floor all right but it pieces of porcelain it seems reasonable and then under this was the finally clothes was Tony's wonderful Chinese export trade in the end I think somebody got a great buy this was a good thing to own this will be nice if I owned it I'd put it right on a wall in my dining room I think it's really really attractive very interesting and lots of patterning going on and butterflies and insects happening on this thing and now look at this four hundred and fifty five dollars I hope one of you got it because this was nice this was a nice genuine export thing from the first half of the nineteenth century and then over here to this let's get it to load there we go the Nonya straits phoenix dishes nice looking pair marked bottoms good good enamels and so forth i like the fact that the the flower on the right is a little bit Pinker than the one on the left but there are two different types of flowers too but i like the way they did that so they're not identical they're not a mirror pair they're a complementary pair and they look very nice and they brought four hundred and sixty one dollars which I think was a perfectly good price for these pieces given what Nyonya Straits pieces have been selling for lately we've seen some of them you know they bring they can bring five or ten thousand dollars all right and then on to this was this Batavia where pot this was a good little one nice one good brown glaze on it nice famille Rose enamels eighteenth-century there it is it's got a few bites around the edges as you can see but a genuine thing and it went for three hundred and fifteen dollars which isn't bad at all that was sort of a seller over in the Netherlands but good looking good looking if you like Batavia where they're people that just collect Batavia ware which is interesting and then onto this the Kang XI plate this was not a huge plate it look big in the picture but it's actually about nine inches in diameter but very robustly painted and this one sold for two hundred and eighty six dollars in good condition and then over here to this was this book I have this book I bought it when it was new in 1989 I'm dating myself anyway this is from the David foundation which is now part of the British Museum and Percival David as you know or met or many of you know anyway he was one of the great great great collectors of the twenty century and he owned the famous pair of you on the date they're known as the David vases the big yan dynasty vases that are dated and have all that information on them and they have every decorative motif known and are probably you know if they were to be sold would be certainly in the top two or three most valuable pieces of sets of you know Chinese porcelain existent I think there's a long story how he got them but any rate the seller Pro Funi who we've handled a head-on here many times sells good things he sold off some of his books and this was a nice one the Imperial taste is a good book it's a wonderful read the David foundation books should be read not just look at the pictures they're not terribly long but boy do they pack information into these old books and that was a good set all right that's some of khufu nice listings here and then this the kisi panel with the riders in battle and this fantastic outer border of all the different creatures going around the outside it's easy not to notice them because the central scene is so active but the outer border of this I thought was as interesting or more interesting than the central scene you've got elephants and Kieran and mythical beasts and all kinds of stuff going on I love that and it's all framed and ready to hang it I went for three hundred sixty three dollars not bad if you remember last week we saw it we had sort of a similar TZ panel that went for about double that alright and this this one was equally as good equally as good and I think 363 was reasonable and then the porcelain opium tray I just like this I like the sort of oddball accoutrements as a lot of you know and this one I liked a great deal I like the enameling I like the scenes I like the shape of it this is an opium tray and as I mentioned last week most opium trays are done in metal pewter we had seen that pewter one go through here last week that went for over five hundred dollars and no doubt went to an opium accoutrement collector and this was a nice one too and it went fairly reasonably four hundred and thirty one dollars for a nice tray that was pretty good that was a good buy and then on to a few things that are coming up that we've had on here what is this this is a nice late judging or early wanly period in that era charger this is a big one though this is not a small one it is over counter wiki it'll be on the on the newsletter page this week and they call it SWOT oh I didn't see the back of it it could be from SWAT Oh with that pattern yeah it is SWAT oh yeah late Ming it is 38 centimeters though in diameter it's a good big one the bids are only at the 200 it's got a seven to nine hundred dollar estimate seven to nine hundred dollars for this is pretty reasonable and then also this one another big Swatow charger is up and what's a nice thought this one is that the central enamels are not all worn off on it a lot of these Swatow pieces with these green and iron red enamels they were used so much that the central scenes often became obscured just by where all right and they're not the case there and then on to this the big dragon panel this is a beautiful piece of silk the colors the fine quality 19th century maybe first half of the 19th century but beautifully done just beautifully beautifully done and if you fortunately the seller here did some nice shots of it from different angles and up close and if you come over to look at this really look at the details here this thing is beautifully sewn and the in the scale work of the of the guilt the guilt threads on the dragon this is like fish scales just all all detailed in beautifully in this lovely crashing wave bottom here with the two dragons standing and so forth if you if you're in dust if you're into Chinese soaks if you if you're looking for something to buy while you're stuck at home boy this is a nice thing to buy it's up to three thousand and fifty dollars and I think it's got some room to go yet because it is the quality is so pretty the condition is so good and always look at the artwork I always say that just look at the artwork is the work good this has beautiful work on it and it's it's a sort of a standout alright and then over here to this is this really nice one lee falcon dish molded beautifully done here's a picture of the back pretty typical back for one of these but I like the falcon the falcon is sort of an unusual motif and i like the fact that they shape the bowl like a lotus like lotus petals they molded it all the way around beautiful thing it's only up to $69 it closes sunday if one Li cracked porcelain buyer or a late Ming buyer mmm check this out you might get a good deal on it you might be able to buy it for under two or three hundred bucks and then lastly as this is the Chinese silver with enamel Bowl that we talked about idea because these are these are really rare and I had said that they did teapots in them the Crosby Forbes collection had some of them in it he was the silver maven for the Peabody Essex Museum and their curator of China trade I knew him pretty well he was a wonderful guy a wonderful man and this was a very nice piece of Chinese silver with enamel and it's getting up there now it's got the closes sundae it's up to 720 dollars and I think it's it's got a bit of room left it's old masters is selling this um over another UK alrighty and
