    Wisconsin,USA..... thanking you for such a wonderful show! To see the connections that your country has to history, that we here in the US do not have.....AWE inspiring And emotional! Thank you to all of the people who purchased those items and kept them so very well that you were able to piece their origins thru centuries!!

    Passionate people are so compelling.
    I love that John Sandon is so excited to hold the newly discovered little English delft treasure at 4:28 that his voice cracks & his hands shake.
    Unfortunately & sadly, the mysterious collector 'Syd' who purchased the piece died just a couple of years after appearing in this episode. He's the renowned American collector Syd Levethan, and we catch just a tiny glimpse of his astonishing Longridge Collection of early English pottery when John Sandon visits him in this video.
    After Syd's death, Christie's was chosen to handle the sale of Syd's Longridge Collection of pottery. The collection was so vast it was auctioned over 4 days (2 days in 2010, 2 days in 2011), & in two continents: 2 sales at Christie's London auction house, & 2 sales at their New York City location. Syd Levethan collected only the best of the best, & the sale of his Longridge Collection broke price records. His beloved slipware & delftware pieces now appear in many public & private collections around the world. And his name will forever appear in the provenance of these extraordinary pieces as they move down thru history.

      Yes the passion of John Sandon is thrilling, meanwhile the lady who owns the piece barely reacts to the 50,000 pound evaluation!

You can just see the love they have for her. I know when she dies and goes to heaven, they will all be there for her.... God, that has to be the best ARS ever for me. She should be a Saint.

    Aside: Queen Marie of Romania donated several items of the Russian nobility as well some of her own to the MARYHILL MUSEUM in Goldendale, Washington state, USA. The museum is unique and, I believe, has the distinction of being the most remote museum in America. It has a replica of a full size Stone Henge to honor the soldiers of the county who lost their lives in World War 1, located about 3 miles away, all part (and more!) of the original land ownership of Sam Hill. He also designed the first early road system in WA, as a test layout. You can walk it. I love museums and this one is one of the biggest small museums you’ll ever see. Eclectic history, unusual displays (which rotate, so not all shown all the time). Rodin pieces,an extensive chess set collection, French couture in scaled models of WW2 and after, plus more. To hear more you need to take the steamroller trip up down the Columbia River on the 4 hours tour. Sam Hill got around! I’ll leave the rest of that as a surprise to be discovered!
    In the museum is a portrait of Nicholas, with the knife cuts tearing it into 4 sections during the revolutionary time, repaired, although still with the visible damage.

    I don’t consider myself to be particularly materialistic or a person who would ever become a collector of anything. I’m sort of a minimalist and happy that way. But I would make an exception for Faberge items any day of the week. They are all exquisite and enchanting. P.S. I love the way the British say “In the fullness of time…” I love that phrase.

    Your John was extremely brave to handle those pieces in that American's collection. I'd have been petrified of dropping or chipping one! Just watching him raised my blood pressure! And the value of these pieces - even chipped and without a nose - amazing! {I'm not sure about the nose restoration. It seems to me this chap needed a more noble more prominent sniffer! }
    # Just looking at those reactions to good news - wondering whether The Road Show has a Defib Machine and Dr on hand at every venue?????😆 If the Producers haven't thought about that - perhaps they SHOULD! And Faberge... What can we say? Just gorgeous.

    ‘Be so British about it” I love that! Even the British can indeed be surprised and tickled! Good! 😊❤❤ Maybe more like the actors in British comedies showing the truth of them, eh?!

    I find many Faberge things disturbing, especially in modern times.
    Anything connected to Russia is covered in blood.
    I think my hands would burn if I held anything connected to the Romanovs.
    The fact that the original purchaser of this treasure had the name Sevastopol is quite telling.
    These treasures are terrible when connected to the whole history of their creation.

      If you look at it that way, there is usually blood all over everything with any sort of significant age to it. We really can't judge history by our current standards, or we'd want to tear down every statue and break every piece of pottery! I'm too much a lover of fine antiques and antiquities to want to erase them...

      @finetuned8652 8 месяцев назад

      what of the history being made as we speak? inexactly modern times. nor is anything made today lasting or of quality. in my youth my parents took us to a place in the woods said to be the site of an old amusement park. there were heaps we'd dig through, dark black earth, and in there we'd find old soda bottles, and, when lucky, a fragment of carnival glass, or cut crystal perfume bottle. these objects were magical to me, especially because we dug them up. i later learned that a great fire took the rides and midway down. many people died in the fun house, riders were trapped on the Ferris wheel and roasted alive. and this was at night, and yes, this too is a dark history.
