Watching this was a great hark back to my family Sundays evenings. The 'Antiques Road Show' and 'That's Life.' BBC gold. Bittersweet. Many of the specialists and presenters have now passed. One learnt so much and new hobbies in our family - were inspired. My mother loved a bargin, so we were dragged out of bed on many a dreary Saturday morning. We would trail her around jumble-sales and fetes - in church halls and community centres. After watching the lovely antiques, I collected old handbags and loads of broaches, pins and dress rings. I dressed up and played with it all. It is still in my parents attic. I also had a complete Ladybird collection of fairy tales, children's books with lots of illustrations. One day, I might go up and look for it all. 😊😊😊
The fire scene when camping in the desert was out of this world! The way the firelight hits people around the fire is magical and at 22:45 the image of a person in the fire is mythical i am literally speechless.
How surprising and exciting , for this family to learn of the treasures they had! And the history connected with them! Suffragettes!! The young girl collecting her treasures, struck me as charming and committed to her passion and it’s history, as well! Charming!
I have a third hand story about a man who bought a ring for his girlfriend at a yard sale. It was a gaudy piece of crystal on a gold band. The antique dealer wanted to know if the family who had the yard sale was of French ancestry. The gaudy piece of crystal on a gold band has been missing since 1789. It was stolen from Marie Antoinette's personal jewelry box when the French peasants looted the Versailles Palace during the French Revolution.
Steve Harvey told a great story of a necklace bought by a new groom for his bride. She wore it often. At some point she had it looked at by a jeweler who immediately offered something like $500. She said no. It was too personal. She kept it put away. At some point she again had it looked at and the jeweler asked if she knew what she had. He gave her his loop and she looked at the stones. Everyone one was minutely inscribed (in some fashion?) to Josephine from Napoleon. It was worth way more $500. (The first jeweler was a tad unethical, eh?) And that was the rest of the story!
Dining with my step daughters family, her uncle offered to show me his coin collection. The family said " don't bother her with your old coins", they laughed at him. I saw the collection and listened to his passion and realised that he had over a million euros in value in his office. He has since died and I have no idea if his family knew what they had.
Oh man, how sad about the artist. Sometimes, those whom are the most gifted, tend to also have psychological issues. Is it because they are so sensitive? Idk. But, we definitely still haven’t unlocked the mysteries of mental illness.
Whenever I see clips of this silver it reminds of my mother. Apparently she was engaged to their father many years ago, who gave her some solid silver button hooks, which my sister now has.
The sale of the silver was a touching story ❤his wife going on travels to places she dreamed of was nice 👍I’d never dream of letting my kids go with out anything for a collectables and I’m a deranged collector of antiques lol 😂 some folks roll one way some folks roll the other !
I remember watching that episode as it aired. I'd never forgotten the chap with the dreads who kept pulling more a more pieces of silver of of a duffel bag.
anyone that knows anything about photography can see the levels of light work in that Richard dadd painting. it is unbelievable the level of light detail.
My grandma said she was watching an episode years ago and a photo of her mum and her mums uncle came up in the background somewhere so now seeing if I can somehow find it
My old man went to one of these without telling any of us. It was somewhere local, on the East Coast. He took a handful of things, one of them a very old chinese ornate fan in a box. He swapped it when he was in Borneo with the Merchant Navy, back in the late 40's, with an ex-pat local for some microscope parts. Anyways, the only thing worth something significant, of all the items he took, was that fan. A couple of grand. Nothing to sniff at, considering the specimen slides he swapped it for cost him just a few quid from a mail order catalogue. He gave it to my brothers girlfriend as a housewarming gift when they got their first house together. He never told her what it was worth. He told me one night, years later, about the trip to the roadshow. And I thought "Jesus christ, Dad! I hope she's still got it!". So I asked my brother, and he said she did, so I told him the story just to make sure the kids didn't play with it! XD
We are so appreciative of the episodes you have recently put on. Thank you a million times over. Perfect quality videos, so unlike the purposely distorted postings that other You Tubers have put on. Hope you keep 'em coming.
I entered a very old part of the attic and to my amazement I discovered a Rembrandt and a Stradivarius so you can imagine my excitement. I immediately sent for a valuer but was horrified to find that Stradivarius was a terrible painter and Rembrandt couldn’t make violins for toffee.
I remember when a painting was brought in and declared to be quite valuable. The host asked what the family was planning to do with it, and was told it certainly wasn't going back in the garage.
Nope. I do like its provenance. Knowing the same hand that murdered created that painting - would mean I would not want it anywhere I was living. Creepy. ⚱️☠️🪦⚰️💀
I went to an Antiques Roadshow event in Mobile, Alabama a number of years ago, to have an item I had appraised (nothing out of the ordinary), and I bumped into another 'seeker of truth', after exiting the event. He had a number of listeners gathered that were hard pressed to keep from laughing about his object. The appraiser had told him, that it was probably the weirdest and most unique object that he had seen, but he could NOT show it on TV. What was it? They were renovating the grounds around the perimeter of an old pub, that dated to before the Civil War. Apparently, the pub was a bro**el during the war, and the object was a lead cast dil**o complete with teeth marks on it!
He was a probate clerk, he knew who had what when they died and if it went to auction, where and when. He couldnt show anyone because what he was doing was illegal.
@@clarkpalace He could have even been bolder and I suspect he was. Once you know who has what, theres no end to the ways of having objects move from one party to another.
Agreed. He comes off as a very selfish prick, doesn't he? The family were suffering and here he is with this secret fortune in silver, and not sharing it with them. In the end, though, his wife did get the last laugh, and good for her.
I completely remember the episode of the silver, it did stand out for various reasons & I did think that at least & at last they were finally in a position to benefit after earlier frugality.
I wonder if there can be a yearly write off when lending art and relics to museums? Offset other income and maybe not even owe any taxes for a while. Just wondering.
We know something about artists who penalised as murderers. At Fremantle, Western Australia, we have an old 1890s prison that has jail cell walls filled with painted art. Really fascinating.
An older lady in Brisbane, Australia, a member of the Suffragettes, was at a protest. The powers that be had men with fixed bayonettes against them. Anyway there was a stouch, and in the mellee she drove her hat pin into the rump of the Superintendant's horse. He got bucked off, and broke his arm. He earnt that!
@@Roses-lilac Yes, too true. I still can't believe those " brave" men fixed bayonettes on those Ladies. If the order to do that came from the Super then he deserved all he got!
The little girl Friya looks like a living China doll. Adult Friya is a lovely young lady, but as a child she looked like the kind of dolls my grandmother collected.
I will be honest. If I was the wife in the first story the next time I saw my 'late husband' I would have batted him around the ear. Imagine living in modest means scrimping and saving and all that time he was buying silver and donating it to other people. That would make me burn. I am glad my favourite people were on. The mother and son who owned the tip and got all the jewellery. How could anyone throw out all those beautiful pieces!!
2022 I'm watching. Happy they could use the money. Dad's secret collection helped him transcend a humdrum life perhaps....well they are gracious the wife and children.
Their father sounds like a real piece of work. Who donates stuff like that while your family is hungry and can barely get by. When he showed them the silver that they hadn’t known about, you can tell they were mad and rightfully so.
@@irisheyes5890 They skated over how he got hold of all that valuable silver. He seems to have been "something in the city," so they may not have known how much money he had. Was he a member, or even the head, of a Livery Company? If so, he valued it more than his own family. Buying silver spoons for his children only to donate them seems to be some sort of message.
The story behind the incredible silver story is disgusting. The father's collection represents deprivation for his young family and no doubt great anxiety for his hard working, bill paying wife. That he gave away a piece silver when each of his children was born is twisted. The only difference between the silver and a string of mistresses is that the silver remained and grew in value to finally bring a bit of enjoyment to his wife in the end.
Stolen silver, or perhaps their secret metal society needs further investigation. Perhaps they provided services in exchange for precious metal… who knows. Why you wouldn’t say anything about them is telling. Donating birth spoons? Very odd. I think you’re correct.
To all those people alluding to Mr Hobbs being a criminal, how would you like it if someone did that to a deceased member of your family, it would be nice if you kept your cynicism to yourself.
it is IMHO the stories behind the objects that count one i will always remember a japanese tea bowl half melted if you saw it at a jumble sale for 10 pence you would thin only worth 5p but was found @ Hiroshima. how much heat it needed to remelt porcelain?
A bit sad and disgusting to think this man kept all the silver under the bed when he could have improved his family’s living situation .I love the wife’s reaction, so British.Just getting on with it.Stiff upper lip et al!!!
When it comes to this sort of stuff 'tis hard to beat England and I'm from Ireland. Now it's the last but one day of April and I'm in Asia. Forgive me 'cos I can't resist : "Oh, to be in England now that April's there..."
Instead of which, he kept his family, worked hard all of his life and amassed a fortune to be left for their benefit after his death. His wife appears to have cashed in the lot and travelled the World on the proceeds. Perhaps he knew her better than those quick to criticise on here. The fact that he gave certain historically important pieces to the Guild of which he was a lifelong member, just serves to show that he cared more about the historical than the monetary value. They should be proud of him, rather than bear grudges against his memory.
Some people gamble their money away some people gamble some people should count their blessings it was antique silver that was money invested in their future and had value like a life insurance policy...
That discarded jewelry…a disgruntled or spurned lover? a quarrel? a found item for a lover and not the wife? So many possibilities! Or were some stolen and dumped? I wonder what old police files might reveal about stolen/ lost jewelry.
I know a woman who was searching for her very large solitaire diamond ring. It wasn't in the jewelry case. Asking her 30 yr old autistic daughter if by chance she has seen the ring somewhere in the house, the daughter replied: " when I was mad at you a few months ago, I threw it in the garbage on collection day."

@ 16:45 Richard Dadd's desert painting is good,
But the fire scene is perhaps one of the best "fire scenes" i've ever had the privilege of viewing.

Magical.

How awful to keep your family without and donate pieces to someone else
I wonder what was going on in Mr Hobbs mind. Perhaps he was more obsessed with the joy of collecting than the value of the items
Financial abuse is a form of abuse and that is really sad that his family had to go through that
Another Great Episode! Thank You!!
I love the clock lady at 29:18 for being such a good story teller.
And she has a lovely speaking voice and accent. I could listen to her all day.

Wouldn’t hurt the tin workers to return the gifts - bit immoral to hold them
At least the birth spoons.
Not theirs... their Father's
He should have gifted them to his family.
A gift is just that. A gift. Keep them.

Now, if you had a first edition of the KJV, King James Bible, that would be a find!
Steve Coogan clearly based his Alan Partridge character on Ian Pickford!
A-haaa!
As for the Hobbs family sometimes richness doesn't help raise outstanding people for the future
I'm hearing the Moby song "Extreme Ways" - the theme used in the Jason Bourne films.
Look at 9;20 the chair moving. Father is still there...
From series 25 the logo changed font and the titles were cars traveling antiques rather than 4:4:2 videographics.
How do we know dad was STEALING the silver and that's why no one could know about its presence?
We don't.
When it comes to this sort of stuff 'tis hard to beat England and I'm from Ireland. Now it's the last but one day of April and I'm in Asia. Forgive me 'cos I can't resist : "Oh, to be in England now that April's there..."

Hey, if you want to upload a 4K version of a program that was never broadcast in HD, be my guest.
Love these British accents.
Mr. Hobbs omitted somethings from his family but...deep in his heart, I think he knew they'd benefit from it in the future.
I disagree, you have no idea how much they sacrificed to serve his selfishness. His widow comments were very gracious, far more than he deserved.
Instead of which, he kept his family, worked hard all of his life and amassed a fortune to be left for their benefit after his death. His wife appears to have cashed in the lot and travelled the World on the proceeds. Perhaps he knew her better than those quick to criticise on here. The fact that he gave certain historically important pieces to the Guild of which he was a lifelong member, just serves to show that he cared more about the historical than the monetary value.
