"If it wasn't broken or damaged, you might think it's a fake." You gentleman were SO close! I look forward to auction results, but I have doubts about this piece.

My feeling is a clever fake. Damage is often faked to fool people.

some very good ideas here..interesting David..

Amazing initiative 😊

In an odd way, they're training their dealers to sell like I was trained well over a decade ago, only with far better technology. Take pictures as though you have no description, and write a description as though there are no words. The far superior part of this website is they aren't being primally stupid and hiding the descriptions. I could name a huge international trading platform who went the other way. I also hope the traders are protected from yahoos and crooks.

👍

What do you mean by don't look them in the eyes? That wasn't addressed at all in the video?

Amazing ...I'll try it's very effective

Hi David my name is learny from Zimbabwe and iam an artist I would like to show you what I make

The materials used are top notch. The leather feels soft and luxurious, exactly like the real thing. The stitching is impeccable, with no loose or uneven lines. The hardware (including the iconic CC twist lock clasp) is durable, well made, and adds to the overall elegance of the bag kislux . I thought everyone who owned an LV monogram bag knew that it was obviously coated canvas? When people spend a fortune on an expensive bag, they might as well buy a replica

Those are great. I really love them.

Bum seats from a fun fair (carnival for us Yanks) in India. Rather nice if you're into that sort of thing. I was thinking about half the asking price, but I honestly can't see them selling for more here. They'd be well out of their market.

😊 funny pieces …

That's brilliant Christian. Delighted for you. What a story.

Those look so silly... And worth the money!

If they hadn't been reduced David they would of won the £100 as for being £50 off .

Nice video david...not so much a bum deal...

those are fun!

I have same this coin i want sale😊

It's a presse-papier for Post Its

Wow,what a result with the case achieving a massive £16,000 hammer price,scouring eBay can be very rewarding sometimes 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is very revealing and a great addition to Norman’s legacy. Well done David.

"I recently came across an old lithograph from 1894 by Maude Goodman, and I find it fascinating! I’d love to learn more about her work and the techniques used during that period. If anyone has insights or resources, I would really appreciate it!" ---

There is a 7kg one edition size:1! It is 18.5 cm in diameter!

I can't see a brolly . I see a scroll.

Looking bronze lacquer, yes They use lacquer , but condition is not perfect , could be from Ming dynasty .Estimate 200 - 300 pounds

That cat will look the Business when he's finished, I just know it. 😊

Just Sold 🎉 and it will go back to Thailand, thanks for finding this great piece of Thai history.

6:04 hi sir. Thanks a lot for your valuable informations Regards from Morocco ❤

If this piece is made by a 'lost wax' process with a single mould, which is destroyed after manufacture, then it is indeed unique, BUT having made the Original by that process it is then possible for the Original to form the basis for a 'piece mouid' to be made out of clay. As the name suggests the mould is made of pieces which can be separated, reassembled and re-used. The mould when reassembled and is lined with liquid wax which is allowed to set. Then a sand/clay mixture is poured into the mould, with vents to ensure no trapped air, the bronze it then poured into the wax filled part of the mould, where again the wax is replaced. Once cooled the mould is opened, the bronze item removed and its interior filling likewise discarded. This means an item is not unique and can be reproduced for as long as the piece mould can last and again if the original has been retained then a new, or several new, piece moulds can be made. The item is very nicely crafted, however I do not think it to be so finely sculpted that it is likely to be unique, I think it much more likely to be a product of 'piece mould' manufacture.

Great Find at the Carboot and well done to giving the Young up and coming dealer some of your time Sir Bravo! (also good luck at the auction.

Great video, we love Summersgills Auctioneers, Tim is a hoot!

Close I said 1.5k

Is an Oleograph the same as a Giclee? I have a hard time telling a Giclee apart from an oil painting, especially when it’s textured. I found out the hard way on an Edna Hibel painting I thought I bought, which turned out to be a Giclee. It had a small stain on it. I took an ultra fine microfiber cloth with a tiny bit of dampness and a spot of olive oil soap to clean it. Rubbed off all the “inkjet” print/color. :(😢

There's a body in the Chest 📦

I think it’s later. Just my opinion and I haven’t handled it. I saw some pieces with similar deterioration in China. So hard to tell online. They bury them, water them, leave them in acidic baths. All to try and build up a surface of corrosion, but it’s often too much. Trouble is funerary items are also buried. Go look at the greenish metal food & wine vessels purporting to be archaic.

So Interesting, and an amazing find.

Please do a quick video on the sale value. Love the expert insight of this piece.

My guess is a brolly. Maybe a golf brolly. Ping?

£5,200 is a very high price. I'd estimate them at £2000-£2500.

Great video. Thank you again David for the help and the auctioneers too! I’m looking forward to seeing what it fetches :) -Ronan

Whenever I see these car-boot bargains on you-tube I can't help but feel a little sorry for the seller if they ever watch the video themselves

Great video, I have no qualms about buying real antiques with damage, it shows the item has had a life. They can usually can be had for song. I really like antique porcelain with period staple repairs, not only is the porcelain nice with a period repair but you get to the added bonus of an antique repair. I have also generally found that real antiques with a period repair were expensive items when new to warrant a proper repair.

Fantastic.

Incredible find, you really can tell it has age cause of the patina , looking forward to hearing the results at the auction, so many treasures to find still out there !

What a fantastic find. Well done him for grabbing it for a fiver.

I was once showed around a private collection that included a similar Coconut that was washed up on a Scottish Beach , dressed in silver and presented to Charles I, as a rare exotic Birds egg 😂😂😂

Wonderful stuff, so helpful and well explained.

There was a documentary recently where they interviewed very wealthy women. These women are talking about how they no longer buy authentic wallets, but instead choose to buy really good wallets kislux designer bags they love. They then invest the money they save in other things such as real estate, stocks, etc.
