The Greatest Finds And Hidden Gems From Series 23 | Antiques Roadshow

[@ghodeng5752]

That painting was so beautiful! The candle lighting and the reflections are so perfect, and it was made in the 18th hundreds, it's insane.

[@tothelighthouse9843]

There's so much going on in the two pools of candlelight in the final painting--all the mysterious , slightly hidden/revealed emotions & human dynamics on display. And then when the camera moves closer to the canvas you realize there are MANY little pools of candlelight in the background of the painting as well, with so many more little human moments hinted at. It's such a beautiful & evocative painting, all the little worlds shining out from the darkness down at the quayside.

[@dkwillrn]

Isn’t it amazing?

My first dog was a wire haired fox terrier. What a beautiful piece of work and such vitality. These were merry little chaps and the artist has captured that brilliantly.

[@joeyree22]

My fur baby, Leon is a wire fox terrier. He’s 8 years old, a man unto himself, such a character and so smart (sometimes too smart). He is the love of our lives.

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

My 96 year old dad had a rescue fox terrier named Rex. He loved to swim and if dad tossed a pebble into the sea, Rex would jump in, and dive for it. Retrieving the very stone ! He hated being bathed though. When my mum told him "You need a bath", he'd snore like a saw mill. Dead to the world... 🧺🐶 zzzzZZZZZ Love from Norway 👩‍🦳🇧🇻

[@BoonMcNougat]

My first dog was also a wire haired fox terrier named Benny. Funny photo exists somewhere in the family albums of my brother pushing them around in a pram haha.

My father made that very skeleton clock. He was an antique dealer in the North. He employed 2 clockmaker, Stuart and Richard. They stripped fusee driven clocks, single, and double fusee, school clocks, Station clocks etc and made the frames. An old guy near New Mills made the chapter rings, silvered and enamal, his trade was an engraver. Most were put into London auction rooms, Christie's, Sothebys etc, they were catalogued as Victorian, after all they were the experts. So if you have a very nice victoriana skeleton clock, it might not be. As a side note, they were made in the celler of a large detached house in Devonshire Park Road, Stockport.

[@E-Kat]

This is completely remarkable!! What a true master clockmaker, horologist, I've just discovered the proper name for these super clever people!! What a chance of coming across your father's clock! Just incredible Do you make clocks as well? 😊

That last painting is just a wonderful piece of art. absolutley beautiful.

[@eTraxx]

There was time when I did not understand how someone would pay vast amounts of money for a painting. That stopped when I stood .. and stood .. and looked with wonder at a 16th century Flemish landscape at a Dallas art museum. I remember thinking that .. I could imagine hanging it on a wall ... and for the next 70 years I would stop every time I passed to admire it. This painting gives me that same feeling.

The Lawrence of Arabia watch was sold for 9000 Pounds and then in 2000 it was purchased by Omega for 86,000 Swiss Francs which is was something like 79,000 Pounds at the time. It's now part of Omegas Museum.

I’ve never understood paintings and their value. In terms of art, music has always been my thing, functional art (furniture, instuments, watches) too. That is the first painting that made me feel something. That use of moonlight was so realistic. What a beautiful piece.

[@deb7518]

I can only imagine the memories this painting evoked from the husband's grandparent she said had worked in the markets back then.

[@E-Kat]

15:50 is the most realistic, 3D looking dog, looking as if he were ready to jump out, as the lady said. Just remarkable what people can do with their hands and a bit of paint. But we have never even heard of this painter. Arthur is so beautiful indeed.

Imagine watching an Antique Roadshow from 1885 where an art expert says to an owner of 5 paintings by Vincent Van Gogh, "Congratulations on owning these wonderful paintings. They're probably worth collectively as much as 70 pounds"! How times have changed.

[@dtulip1]

Family Legend has it that my Mother was approached to be the Spirit of Ecstacy, no one left to ask how accurate that is 😅

Would love to see Julian Baumgartner get his hands on that painting to restore it. Remove the dirt and cruddy old varnish to show what it looked like when it was painted years ago.

[@phylliscook-se7mx]

The skeleton clock is magnificent

[@dallassukerkin6878]

I know it might sound a little contrary but I would dread to be in the shoes of the lady at the end with the Dutch painting - finding out that something is worth that much can't help but affect how you relate to it and rather spoils the joy of having it.

[@E-Kat]

Or it enhances the joy of owning it. 😊

[@costrow3100]

The British version of this program really underestimates the value of some splendid items like the watch and the Chaumet French ruby/diamond brooch. The Dutch oil painting was probably close to the value at the time but at some point, at a good suction house, could be valued over $250,000 to 500,000 today because of the inflated market -?and I think Dutch master oils are going up again. I watch lots of Sotheby and Christie’s auctions. Also the dog, Arthur, painting was quite special.

[@dallassukerkin6878]

I think perhaps the explanation for the valuation ... erm ... values {:D} is that a lot of these clips are from quite long ago.

27:29 he says moonlight, but what if it was early in the morning? On a cloudy rainy day? Her wares are neat and full, like the beginning of a work day, and markets tend to open extremely early and not stay open late into the evening. The idea they had candles outside would be unusual without a hurricane lamp no? Seems just a breeze would put it out. Maybe that bit was added under artistic license so we could see the subjects.

[@herobrinenoch3522]

For heaven's sake Lisa! It's a typical Victorian Romantic style painting. All the happy and clean peasants and workers you see in Victorian paintings weren't that happy or CLEAN in real life either. Of course you are correct, but it's ALL artistic license. ; D
