Thank you so much! What a pleasure to enjoy a posting of this wonderful show that isn't all distorted and unwatchable as so many of them have been. Hope to see lots more.

The items brought to the Antiques Road Show are always wonderfully interesting and it such a pleasure to learn so much about the items.

The vase from Orrefors has a symbol for the Husqvarna company. Probably it celebrates 50 years of motorcycles, since the first one was made in 1903.

That historical art book of Jerusalem, wow 🥰

[@Darscm]

I love Henry Sanson’s evaluations. Happy birthday to him

[@Wally-H]

Henry Sandon. Now 95 years young and still going strong!

The box is octagonal, not hexagonal.

[@Rascal77s]

The woman at 13:30 looks just like Edith Bunker from the TV show all in the family. I did a double take when I saw her.

[@rondenniel2894]

Yup i see a resemblance. But her voice all wrong. Her voice stands out for me. I liked her the most on the show. I think her character made me smile

[@Rascal77s]

@@rondenniel2894 definitely no similarity between the voices 😂

You can have all my share of jazz!

Fiona Bruce is a babe

[@Wally-H]

When she raises one eyebrow and talks in that sexy voice, I think most men would be in the palm of her hand 😆

[@johnlarkin-i3z]

Auto-cutie, who knows nothing about the antiques ... ingratiating style over substance.

[@garywagner2466]

No country does ‘pompous’ quite like the Brits. Wodehouse would have a made mincemeat out of some of these experts. Thanks for posting.

[@tomharrison1849]

You don't understand Wodehouse then.

[@garywagner2466]

@@tomharrison1849 , no, of course not. You must be one of those experts.

[@tomharrison1849]

@garywagner2466 Wodehouse was a humorist, not a satirist. He depicted eccentric characters of all different types to make people laugh, but he didn't make 'mincemeat' out of people - his aim was to entertain, not to attack, reveal or change these kinds of people. When he depicted brash Americans, he did it entitely for fun and without malice. I'm not one of the AR experts but I am a long term devotee of PGW.

[@garywagner2466]

@@tomharrison1849 , thanks for the lecture. Wodehouse was not a pompous ass like many of the AR “experts” and, sadly, people like you.

[@tomharrison1849]

@garywagner2466 He was, however, deeply courteous - which is always nice.

[@douro20]

That John Fraser painting is now in the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich but sadly isn't on display. The title of the piece is "A Zeppelin Raid, 8 November 1915".

[@favouritemoon4133]

I was out of England at the time this [now old] episode first screened. It was so lovely to see Henry Sandon visiting and sharing his knowledge.

[@Wally-H]

Nice and local show for him this one, as he lives just down the road in the beautiful village of Goudhurst.

[@dearnapst]

The camera said made i West Germany, that should have told her it was after ww2

[@lindapepper1067]

One of the most charming episodes of AR.

[@travismaniagigglebush247]

To celebrated his birthday wow he so happy 😊 😃 😀 wonderful

[@Wally-H]

He is now 95 and still with us.

[@judeirwin2222]

The art expert looking at the zeppelin raid on London painting dated 1915 claimed that WWI was the “first war when there were aerial bombardments”. Not so! Paper balloons and later, hot air balloons made of silk, were used as far back as the mid 19th century to drop bombs on cities or enemy troops. The first instance was in Austria in 1849 when 24-30 lb. bombs were dropped on Venice.

[@alecblunden8615]

My father was born in 1912. He distinctly remembered the Zeppelin raids and the precautions he took- he sheltered under his bed.
