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.

[@bobwallacejnr6852]

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.

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.

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.

[@GermanSausagesAreTheWurst]

I love these compilations. I remember seeing an episode where somebody painted a priceless antique, and that made it worthless. You should do a compilation of moments like that. Destroyed patinas and such. I feel one can learn much from the mistakes of others.

[@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.

[@curtiswilson3569]

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.

[@birdlover7776]

[@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.

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

[@heartofoak45]

Why can't AQ be like this now. Probably the Woke BBC would consider it too elitist. So what, that is what made it watchable. It is as though all the beautiful furniture described by Arthur Negus had vanished from the face of the earth. Today's productions are pale imitations.

[@gilly5094]

Antique Georgian and Victorian furniture is a bargain currently. The Millenials all want Mid-Century ugliness and stuff that looks like it came from a burned-out warehouse, so get yourself along to a saleroom and grab a bargain.
