Antiques Talk/Valuation & Tea Party! With David Harper & David Elstob

To celebrate the upcoming Queens Jubilee, David Elstob and I (David Harper) put on a bit of a tea party and antiques talk at Elstob & Elstob Auctioneers in Ripon, North Yorkshire
We had no idea what antiques we were going to see, it was all filmed as live! You’ll see the objects at the same time we do…No researching, no preparation, just off the cuff talk and valuations…plus tea and cake!
All just a bit of fun and an excuse to celebrate the jubilee, drink tea and talk antiques!
As ever, thanks for watching and thanks for your support
Cheers
David Harper

David, I love how you bring us into all of these surprise scenarios-! This tea party celebrating our beautiful Queen, was a delight! Particularly enamoured with the Irish sideboard!! I have become increasingly enamoured with Irish goodies. Have begun collecting hand carved wood Irish loving spoons-thanks again! Shae in Oz

Learning the difference between silverplating and electroplating is awesome thank you!

Camra stand needs a handler. Nice college student studying film production, leaves David and David free to do what they do best. Would love to watch you go through a fair or action preview and just talk about interesting items. This was such a good idea.

As usual a very enjoyable and interesting video, love this format, as said on an earlier message great idea for a tv show. Keep um coming !!!

[@wsgrover8646]

Really entertaining David surely a tv company has to pick this format up! Great stuff.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thanks for that. I think it would be great to do it live to test the experts, put them on the spot and see what they can come up with!

[@mickfromaustralia902]

Was the camera hidden? Split ends and pulled threads are somewhat intrusive :)

[@sallyhinkley1177]

What fun... come and do a tea party with Elizabeth Talbot ... in Norfolk ... your KZbin channel is great watching BTW

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

That’s a great idea!

[@OriginalNethead]

BTW - electroplate goes back to at least the Romans. It wasn't in use on a commercial scale in the UK until circa 1840 if I remember properly. I don't remember seeing an American bit of it (I'm in the USA) made before 1870 give or take a bit. We were a bit behind, thanks to a Civil War among other things.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

The glory of live events! I should have said commonly available since about 1860!!! Got out of that one!

[@RonanSD]

I’ve only just discovered your channel and I’ve been watching through them all, they’re super entertaining and have taught me some really helpful things (I’m hoping to get into the antiques business). Thank you for making these videos David! 🎉🙏🏻

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thank you Ronan, that’s great to hear. Cheers, David

What’s the watch you’re wearing David?

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

It’s a ‘Ball’ watch. Under the radar brand and seriously good!

The women walking in front of the camera surely know they are there! Great content all the same.

[@Rickbla]

Why film that woman’s back?

@@Rickbla because it was playing from the start.
