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.
My beautiful and wonderful Nana passed down her Faberge Imperial Music Box Collection to my mum, which then passed it down to me. I'll keep them all through my life ❤
Sitting here in 2023, Brooklyn New York, and loved every minute of this episode. To get the history lessons so precise and entertaining, is a gift. The cherry on the sundae, of course, seeing those reactions to value! This is better than most crap on TV. At least American TV! :)
yes, for me also with most*New Zealand tv progammes! these days i only read the newspaper and watch RUclips. i'm so glad i saw it, because this was a great video, lol (*edited to add 'most'')
I was brought to tears with the dog lady, as she spent her lifetime fortune for her beautiful dogs to have the space and luxury to be free, in this beautiful massively large grass yard. 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.
From 2:15, about the toy bear, the commentator - "He later fetched a princely sum of 23,000 pounds, went off on his travels, and now lives happily in a toy museum in Greece..." ... and I was just waiting for him to continue and say "and as for the stuffed bear...."
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.
Thank you for this upload. So nice to not only see the valuations but also the history of the items and what the owners did with their treasures. Geoffrey Munn is the best imo
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.
I simply enjoy the finds, the history, personal or otherwise, the people who own them, and what they end up doing with the items, either to keep or sell, or lend to a museum. It is all interesting. ‘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?!
Omg I hope there is never an earthquake anywhere near the pottery collectors house...what a disaster that would be! He should be using museum wax to hold those items in place!!!
I How wonderful to see so many happy little shelters I’ve had a number over the years sadly I now live in a very hot place and wouldn’t like to see one here in this heat
And if you are American, you feel the exact opposite. They each do it differently and I like both. But as much as I usually prefer British TV, the Americans do Roadshow better. Much better.
A pleasure! But we're wondering why your BBC Antiques Roadshow postings have stopped. It seems like as soon as we started supporting you on Patreon everything stopped. We sure hope to see more.
I work for an inspection company doing ground penetrating radar. Trying to find that kiln would have been a textbook use of GPR with how shallow those foundations are despite the highly absorptive clays in that area. 50/250MHz antennas would likely be able to see at minimum 1-3m in those types of clays possibly more
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...
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.
U left my mother having to run around from the hospital to going home to look after all of the other children she had at didn't know if her four your old child was going to survive after u shoot and stabbed her and u shoot and stabbed the angel father did u think the angel is going to let u walk free from that u know the angel if u think thats going to happen

Yes the passion of John Sandon is thrilling, meanwhile the lady who owns the piece barely reacts to the 50,000 pound evaluation!
I used to watch this show every Sunday afternoon with my husband 30 years ago. The theme song makes me happy. Loved the experts then. Real characters

I’d settle for being half as happy as Margo and her dogs in my old age. Cheers to her
What a lovely lovely lady.
Seriously
If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I'd like to BE one of Margo's dogs!
@@philipcarthy2977
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL LADY AND SUCH BEAUTIFUL DOGS,BLESS THEM.🏴🏴🏴🏴
Absolutely wonderful ❤

If there is reincarnation, let me the pampered pet of a loving dog owner! (And LOL, to hear her say the same!)
I live in the USA I really enjoyed this Thank you
Omg Henry the pottery expert was the most adorable older gentleman, may we all have the joy oh Henry digging pottery
Yes the most charming delightful old gentleman so lovely. So sad to hear of his passing
Henry my absolute hero. What a lovely man he was. RIP Henry. Thank you for your years of insite
If you’re referring to Henry Sandon, according to Wikipedia he’s still living.
He recently passed away, what a wonderful man
I love finding out the history and what happened-especially the Faberge.
From 2:15, about the toy bear, the commentator - "He later fetched a princely sum of 23,000 pounds, went off on his travels, and now lives happily in a toy museum in Greece..." ... and I was just waiting for him to continue and say "and as for the stuffed bear...."
I like the "history lesson" behind some of the pieces, especially the Faberge items! This was an enjoyable episode.

Cids pottery collection is OUTSTANDING !!!!! What a smart woman using her sale to fix up her babys kennels good on her its her life
Another American exercising cultural appropriation.
yes she uses the money to enjoy life on a day to day basis
Absolutely absurd. I'd assume 10's of millions worth
Wonderful lady and her lovely dogs ❤️

Oh, Henry Sandon is just my favourite!!😊
Mine too, what a wonderful person he was
This is brilliant in this age of advertising. Thank you so much for sharing.
Love all the stories
Wonderful show.
Another Great Episode! Thank You!!!
I simply enjoy the finds, the history, personal or otherwise, the people who own them, and what they end up doing with the items, either to keep or sell, or lend to a museum. It is all interesting.
‘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 love this introduction, absolutely priceless.
Henry's such a delight
I always wonder if the appraisers drop anything. I get really nervous when they pick up anything fragile.
One did once, Rivington Hall I think it was, Chorley..
I have always wondered that myself but have yet to see it
Great programme, great show!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Good ol antiques roadshows
The lady with the dogs was great.
Happy dogs - made my day.
Love the teddy bear 🏴🌹
Omg I hope there is never an earthquake anywhere near the pottery collectors house...what a disaster that would be! He should be using museum wax to hold those items in place!!!
The story of the lilac case, as laid out, is impossible. It was bought 367 days AFTER the visit to the castle on the Isle of Mann...
I
How wonderful to see so many happy little shelters I’ve had a number over the years sadly I now live in a very hot place and wouldn’t like to see one here in this heat
The American version of Antiques Roadshow is great, but it can't hold a candle to the BBC's Roadshow!
And if you are American, you feel the exact opposite. They each do it differently and I like both. But as much as I usually prefer British TV, the Americans do Roadshow better.
Much better.
@@Great-Documentariesyou just can't be ragtime
My favorite item on the show was the dog show ribbon that said "BEST BITCH" 😂😂😂
I had two I sold them an hour before watching this for 31.67p 😊
My cold, anger hardened heart, just melted. 🫠😂
Love to see happy dogs frolicking in the grass with music.
Sheltieham Palace is the most British thing i’ve ever seen
WOW BRIAN ADAMS ALSO SINGS, AND DOES THIS, LOL!!!!!! WHAT A GUY!!!!!!!!!
"£50,000"
"Oh really, hmph". So many people are so bland in their responses. I would fall over.
A pleasure! But we're wondering why your BBC Antiques Roadshow postings have stopped. It seems like as soon as we started supporting you on Patreon everything stopped. We sure hope to see more.
Shelties are gorgeous. We had Hamish a dog that was being bullied by the owners older dogs. Such a sweet dog.
Syd Levethan, the collector
Where's Time Team? Three days! Let's go!
There was something about the presenter that I couldn’t put my finger on then finally it came to me that he reminded me of Roger Moore.
learned something else about Brum, the belt is a piece of art and history , would have taken the 1000 and then donated :-)
What did the delph sell for in the end? He valued it at 50k
What dosent kill you makes you stronger...
What about Acid??? 🙃
I work for an inspection company doing ground penetrating radar. Trying to find that kiln would have been a textbook use of GPR with how shallow those foundations are despite the highly absorptive clays in that area. 50/250MHz antennas would likely be able to see at minimum 1-3m in those types of clays possibly more
what an absolute treat for John Sandon
thank you . ( 2023 / Nov / 12 )
With so many finds from ARS, I myself am finding it hard to believe they would waste so much time on individual items instead of showcasing more.
"Did he get a good price for it?" 😂
Did they say what was the value of the lilac cigarette box?
23:25 He says "had it been in perfect condition... 20.000 pounds" - but no, I don't think he actually says what it is worth in the condition it is in.
There were 2x really big letters on the bottom of the Delft pottery figure, TM, never looked at or commented on by anyone !?!?! 😲
TRADE MARK 🙃
One person’s junk is another person’s jewels.
Bark-ingham palace was right there.
My goodness didnt you see cid concerning himself with the touching and picking up. Keep your hands in your pockets!!!
Michael Aspel - all those illegitimate children. I was shocked when that documentary came out.
Pamela Anderson, wot.
Any idea what the lilac cigarette case was worth?
I think it was sold at auction for €16,000
Holy shit stop touching all the pots, making me nervous
Is there a wardiary that was snatched up by a publisher
41:40 ...... look mum ..... a new roof !
I’d give anything to get Time Team on a dog there!!!
I too enjoy a good circus. We'd need a big dog though.
It is pretty 😍💕
Success
Would have been nice to see that money spent on shelter dogs.
So many are put to sleep because people want pure breds.
Adopt, don't shop! 🐶
Good Lord, that bland reaction of the woman who owned the small statue..... If that is "British" then give me "un-British" every day!
She wants people to think she is wealthy so it’s pocket money 💰 if she was working class she would be jumping up and down 🏴🌹
Part two
To be continued... 😴💤
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.

4:46 50k pounds and she barely showed a reaction. Dang some of you Brits are so level headed on this show. 😂
Sevastopol is in Crimea, Crimea - Russia🇷🇺
you cant do subtitles? really? you do on other videos
For what?
Your dress style in traveller clothes and anyone else like u says very load uses are out on the pull again
Typical Americans to restore antiques. Too bad.
360p! are you fricking kidding? What a joke!
14:24 The money wasted on bloody dog, God forbid.
Dog forbid. Obviously not a lover of doggies.
Everybody has their own passions. You'd probably spend it on something she wouldn't agree with.
When ARS was a decent programme before that dreadful harridan bruce took over
Harridan??? She is hot! You must be jealous.
I wish the dog lady would stop saying fingering.
U left my mother having to run around from the hospital to going home to look after all of the other children she had at didn't know if her four your old child was going to survive after u shoot and stabbed her and u shoot and stabbed the angel father did u think the angel is going to let u walk free from that u know the angel if u think thats going to happen
That woman with the shelties couldn't be more British
