John Bly is simply the best. His knowledge is outstanding

[@Darscm]

The knowledge the appraisers bring to their craft I astounding. I learn of much from watching. John Bly especially is a wizard with an encyclopedic command of furniture. Thank you.

That first piece, the davenport cabinet-desk, would be absolutely perfect for maximizing space in the small flats I always have to rent! The design is very clever, the aesthetics beautiful, and the way it uses the space so compactly is perfect. Definitely couldn't afford to buy one at that price mind you!! 🤣

[@Eastwing74]

I could watch these all day

[@joshuawells5953]

I have. 😄

[@Kerplakistandan]

I do. Well, these and resisting arrest videos. Weird combo, I know.

[@lwaliz]

I love the black marble table with the beautiful floral inlay! I can see similar ones being sold at 25 - 50 000 online, so 5 - 10 times the price of 20 years ago, what a fabulous piece.

[@chrisjones2630]

as an antiques dealer its lovely to watch this when folk loved proper antique furniture great too watch

[@basstrammel1322]

My impression is that the love and fascination still is there, but it's damn hard to make antique furniture fit into modern semi-minimalistic homes. Not impossible, but it takes some planning, and it might just be a mish-mash of styles until you've found everything you want. I hope your trade will flourish, and wish you the best.

[@berits.2346]

I don't think the problem is a mixture of styles, but people move alot more these days, and old furniture is solid wood, hence very heavy. It's essier to throw away cheap ikea furniture and buy new stuff, sadly.

[@viviennehayes2856]

Thank you so much for putting this on KZbin for us to enjoy. Furniture is one of my favourite ....... objects!? And I love the older shows. I missed out on a lot of Antiques Roadshows because I only just started watching them about 17 years ago. I had never heard of the show before then.

[@lisalking2476]

I have always loved old things and especially old furnishings 😊 just find them fascinating ❤ great show 👏 ❤

[@ericswain4177]

The piece at the end, the desk made from a piano Carcass though not very valuable was the most interesting, especially with the piano in the portrait painting showing it as a piano also the one that had the room paneling on the bottom of the drawers was wonderful as well.

[@kayenash5481]

Me too, very interesting listening to the history of those piece's.

[@andrea22213]

Great to see John Bly again.

[@leniszameit]

i really love the really cool table with fancy woods top.

[@Kerplakistandan]

That last piece was delightful.

[@berits.2346]

Thank you for uploading these videos.

[@BBCAntiquesRoadshow]

You are very welcome, we are pleased you enjoy them as much as we do!

15:32 lignum vitae is a really interesting wood not only because it’s very dense but it is also self-lubricating. John Harrison, who eventually won the Longitude prize for for inventing the first accurate sea-clock, built a wooden tower clock for Brocklesby Park that has been almost continuously running since 1722. He ensured its longevity by using as little metal as possible in its construction and using lignum vitae for the parts that would normally need to be regularly oiled.

It would be very helpful to have the date and place of airing captioned down low so I can estimate how much it would cost now. I also enjoyed seeing the folks talk about, “Oh, we got married in ‘43…” so precious to see these loved generations!

[@rachelkoiks]

Yeah except all these brown wood furniture prices are gonna be waaaay different. They pretty much hit the floor in worth when white minimalism became the “it” thing. But as a 35yo who never fell out of love with the brown wood, I can see it gaining traction again now that I’m seeing people finally being sick of that sterile aesthetic. Although, I don’t think it’ll get back to these heyday estimates & demand/popularity. I think it peaked in the late 90’s or early 00’s then fell off a cliff.

[@Kerplakistandan]

Essentially, the collectors of brown wood are a dying breed. The people that grew up around it are now passing away.

[@KerliYN]

I love seeing antiques.

[@sheilalart5837]

Bang Bam Boom! That is exactly what happened ❤ Energy and the magic was definitely in the air you being persistent paid off 😊

[@pigoff123]

I would love to have those library cabinet in my library. They are beautiful

[@3251JOE]

In the Gillows appraisal, the etageres were called what nots. My grandmother, born in 1908, called little ceramic figurines, bought from what she called the five and ten cent store for pennies, what nots. They were displayed on little wood display pieces hung on the walls with two or three levels to add a little color to a country household of modest means.

[@susanam.826]

I love the pieces. I hate seeing the reactions before the time.

[@berits.2346]

Oh my. The Galle Cabinet might be the only one that actually rocketed upwards in value. I'd happily pay 3000£ for this one!

[@Victoria-hg6ze]

What a good sport the lady was about her Frankenstein desk! I've never understood the difference between guineas and pounds.

[@audreyayuen3854]

Can google this. A Guinea is worth more than a £. It was when the currency was in £, shilling and pence.

[@susancatananzi1085]

20 shillings to 1 pound sterling and 21 shillings to a Guinea

[@kingy002]

Wonderful. Thanks for your efforts with a new edition. Silver, focusing on the Crawley collection, please!

[@louisejones9285]

When the Antiques Roadshow had antiques. Too much vintage on it now.

[@Timur18056]

Agreed. You’d never see any of this furniture featured on the show these days.

[@viviennehayes2856]

The seat is quite new - 1850 😂

[@steveandme63]

So, paneling from the Sauron's library in Barad-dur?

[@robblack5248]

Very informative and interesting, but (from sad experience) I fear that the high valuations on "brown ware" have taken a precipitous dive since these encounters were recorded.

[@rossjohnson9098]

Well maximalist is back in, let's hope that cottage core develops into mansion core

[@joannemcintyre7413]

Please...TURN UP THE SOUND & PUT ON " CLOSED CAPTIONING IN ENGLISH. THANK YOU!

[@jeffwells330]

contemporary value may be heartbreaking

[@susanscottfarrell3713]

Ain't it interesting that the people with the clipped (&incorrect) accents are nonplussed with valuations.... Taking the p....

[@irisbones6433]

they are beautiful, sorry to say they would not fit in my flat.

[@suzettecalleja3122]

Every episode I watch nearly everything is given 2000 pounds.

[@gl15col]

I don't think he was right about the signatures; the Thomas Edison one by itself might be $5,000.

[@jdhardy79]

These clips are 15-25 years old. And a Thomas Edison signature would be worth more in the US than the UK.

[@xikimunki735]

wonnacot obviously has no clue about early english church chests from the 15th century and also falsely claims that armada chests were not german. they ctually had the most beautiful lock mechanisms underneath the lids ...... why does he just make it all up?????

[@chrissettles4127]

Good episode
