The days of not identifying something like the 'Spirit of Ecstacy' at an auction are long gone - heck anyone that enters a thriftstore today could identify nearly anything in the store with a quick pic and Google lens.
A bit sad, really... it's also caused some items to be overpriced just by the suggestion of age or style, even if they are improperly listed or described...
I love these shows because my family is originally from Russia. Of course, they were Russian Nobilities. When the Revolution of 1917, they were in the South of France, they were extremely lucky. They had lands and money in Russia, Poland, Germany, Sweden, Italy, and France. They flew to Boston, then to Montreal Canada. They weren't poor, they built many businesses in the USA and Canada, I live in upstate NY, in a substantial home, which is full of antiquities, jewellery, and wonderful magnificent artwork, what is funny is I am a gay man and my husband is Russian from St-Petersburgh. We met online because I was searching for Fabergé-specific years, for a pair of cuff links I own, he had almost the same ones because his great-grandfather had the matching ones.
It's made more awkward because these clips are from various dates but it is easy enough to find out what somethings value would be in todays Pounds using an inflation calculator, such as the one on the Bank of England's website. A very broad rule of thumb is to double the valuations for programmes from the 1990's and to double again for each decade back.
It seems to me that it wouldn't be too hard for the BBC AR to update the pricing to today's prices on all these pieces. There is possibly 40 years difference on some of these prices....!
The macabre lamp is my favourite ( like her uncle’s)👍
I would have loved to know more about the uncle. I bet he was very flamboyant.
The claret jug---such elegance!
Love the tiny book. I remember when you got a diary, all that information about the moon etc. was there.
I didn't think AR would get me with another clip video made up of old episodes.. but well here we are again.
I love this piece
Excellent video thank you
Ah those were the days❤
FABULOUS ❤
Sir Humphrey of 'Yes Minister' doing the valuation on the last one. 😄
That lamp is still hideous 😂.....

Yeah, it's kind of taking the fun out of it
The man who's appraising the insect lamp sounds like he knows what he's talking about.
U know he is from bargain hunt right
You know this programme is antiques roadshow , so would think he should do lol ..

The art nouveau lamp is hilariously quirky
I wish my antique rocking chair was in better shape I'd try to sell it - it's a Crain Mother's Rocker made in 1892
Hello sir how are you
Lovelyyy
12:33 me when the wife has a rant at me for not doing a job and i can’t even remember what she asked me to do.
I wish this showed 2024 equivalent value!

Some of these would have gone down in price believe it or not
if Rolls Royce only know of 8 or 9 someone making a fake is unlikely to label it No 28 TBH
Is it just me, but did anyone spot the angry emu , when the clarit jug was in the hand if the expert ,and it was turned ro face the camera
The Necronomicon Ex Mortis
Where
14:50 I don't know if you can translate that for me?
Him: No
If I was the appraiser, I would have said interesting way to say no. moving on. Lol
Oddly enough, these pieces in 2024 are not worth much more and some even less.
