Fiona Bruce and the team assemble on the lawns of Bodnant Garden in North Wales. Items exciting the experts include an elaborate tea service made for a maharajah and designs for the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, while a rare bronze depicting the defeat of Native Americans receives a surprising valuation.
Fiona is one of the reasons I watch this program, for it’s wholesome & good. I also love the filming pause framing shots, the views as seen are timeless and the same as the people that had lived in these places, as looking out into the world, different times & people & items, but the landscape & view remains. The escape to different times, people & places is the beauty of this show. Wonderful people & work. Thank You.
The Portrait Painter of the Gardener; Patty Townsend, was incredibly talented. To get that face, and particularly those eyes so real is extraordinary. The life and character that just bursts out of the canvass is wonderful. I was gobsmacked, even with the damage, that the valuation was so low.
One gets the impression that the subject of the painting would have been quite comfortable residing under a hedge for a few days.
Thankyou for sharing ! I love Antiques Road Show and could watch it till the sun comes up!
The coffin of the unknown soldier handle and plaque gave me chills. Stupendous.
Yes, it was a very emotional segment.
Lovely to see the early days of the assessors, several of whom are already gone. Thank you.
So many fabulous items on this show, the deco tea set to die for, the lovely lady with sherperdess embroidery, the Welsh dresser.
Loved the silver owl. Mid 19th Century, though it surprisingly looked mid-century modern (1960's). Marvelous.
I thought that it looked more like Arts and Crafts Movement. Beautiful thing.
Excellent and absorbing; we learned such a lot. Thank you
Wonderful. Thank you!
Love the Lakota chief. What a valuation!
Wonderful show to watch to increase knowledge on things. People worked hard in those days.
Yes Hillery is wonderfull !! Bright and her smile is contagious!
Thank you
Fiona is my favorite. As a presenter I love Hillary too.
Thank you very much. As always. 👍
Izal toilet paper was made in Chapeltown near Sheffield!
I'd love to know what happened to that wonderful Wedgewood vase at 29:08 with giraffe and reindeer by Daisy Makeig-Jones.
I've got one of those welsh dresses except 2 drawer. Has provenance including letter and date of sale 1770 😅 got it off gumtree and it's fabulous
I find it extraordinary that your experts do not use book cradles on their rare papers and books
Yes, seeing a medieval illuminated manuscript with its original binding laid open flat on a table, does not help the hundreds of year old spine binding.....🙄
Nor do they wear gloves
@@bevgordon7619 I learned recently that gloves are not always very good for old books! Apparently the damage from clean hands is less than the damage from lost finger sensitivity and the risk of carrying bugs from book to book. I was crushed - I loved watching clean white gloved experts with books! However, apparently white gloves are a good idea for some other materials
@@happybat1977 Exactly....more damage has been caused trying to turn pages with gloves on than not.
@@happybat1977 Oh well no white gloves here...hmmmm. But! Thinking of books...have you seen the episode of Black Books where a Mr. Clean Neat Freak was brought in clean up Bernard’s pig sty? White gloves were an absolutely essential to DIRT! everything is DIRTY! hahaha i luv that show!! Check it out 100%+++ top quality houmour and performers! Cheers
Hard to beleive and fathom that the little glass jug is of Roman origin and 2000 years old ! Just incredible and i honestly think that these types of ancient items are undervalued! bb. bbthese types of ancient items are very undervalued and wonder why is this so? Surley the age and rarity and craftsmanship of a piece like this would be enough to increase the value not to mention that it has survived in this amazing condition all that time,! Just incredible !
Items that go for high price’s are what wealthy & very wealthy people’s desire’s & taste & willing to pay. An Andy Warhall painting of a soup can is worth millions but I would rather have a 2,000 year old Roman little oil jug.
I tend to agree with you and find that the very ancient objects are undervalued! Also other objects that I consider to be of very high craftsmanship are undervalued as well .Well I don't know who determines these values but some who call themselves experts leave a lot to be desired one might say .None the less I love watching AR !!!
Incredible how the experts handle ancient books and documents without gloves.
The experts are now saying that handling Illuminated Books with gloves have caused more damage to them due to the "clumsiness" of turning pages with the gloves on. Certainly a conundrum... !
Time for a new presenter, too much Fiona ego and her patronising presentation, she's got a lot worse since this program in 2008.. I still miss Michael Aspel, he didn't push himself on camera at every opportunity and cringe when remembering Fiona and her doll collection, poor Hilary Kay. Big thanks to Great Dox for giving us the chance to see these programs with the fascinating antiques and interesting experts.
!!! Oh my God. I am flummoxed by this comment; are we watching different shows? I see not an iota of patronisation or ego. She was ASKED to bring something, just as many of the experts are asked to bring things important to them. She doesn't push herself on camera! The show is set up in advance and there's a director and all sorts of other people making decisions about who goes on when. I'd say there a hefty amount of projection on your part and you simply don't like her, for whatever reason. But she is NONE of what you claim she is. Obviously she is some sort of trigger for you.
My opinion must be some sort of trigger for you, we are all entitled to our opinions and that is mine. Projection??? = Psychobabble. You are obviously a fan of Fiona. I am not, lets leave it at that.@@andreaandrea6716
Me too, very surprised by this comment. I think Fiona brings style and interest to anything she does.
@@pamelacorbett8774 (I know!! Me too! ...Thank you).
Put a value on things. That is literally the point of the show.
“Put a value on things” is Not the point of the show,. Learning & entertaining, & an element of imagination, in a wonderful way is. I feel sorry for you if that’s the only thing you’re getting & understand
@RobertJohnson-gk2gj I feel sorry for you that you felt you needed to come online and try and belittle a complete stranger that you know literally NOTHING about because they want to know what something is worth monetarily. GFY
