- All valuations were correct at the time of broadcast. This unique silver collection is one you may never see again. The rare election cup reflects Gothic style and originates from the mid-16th Century, gaining its name from Winchester College's entrance exam. The extraordinary basin dates back to the Elizabethan period and was once used for people to wash their hands after relishing a feast. Hugh Scully and the experts from Antiques Roadshow take a look at some fantastic antiques and the history and stories surrounding them. This clip was filmed in Winchester in 2000.
Welcome to the home of Antiques Roadshow on TH-cam. Here you'll find all the best clips from Britain's most popular antiques appraisal show. From items that have been handed down the generations to those picked up in junk shops, discover their history and delight in the possibility that it could in fact be a priceless treasure.

WOW! That’s a beautiful collection! A work of art 👩🏻🏫👵🏻👏🏻🥰‼️
Giving values is a integral part of the show... You have missed the bar. You're Fired 🤓
I learned now, that these things are very valuable and rare, ah, yes and old. Who would have thought. I am stunned.
It is important, because there are so many fakes in the market
Tim Nice But Dim after he got an education...
I used to look forward to watching AR when I was growing up, the best show on TV.
And on this next table, we have a very rare sword, and an intricate diadem, which apparently belonged to two of the founders of the college, and a most unusual item of headwear that at one time was used to sort new students into their houses
Even Lord Stanleys Cup isn't handled without white cotton gloves on their hands.
Killer chompers on that dude lol
I genuinely hate it when local councils, college's or other professional institutions brings it's things along. They aren't a find, they know what they are and will have a good idea already to their value. Just like when Gateshead Council brought in a scale model of the Angel of the North, they were the commissioners of the full size Angel so you would think they would have a good idea of a value of a model. AR should be for "finds", things the general public have brought in.
Personally I like to see rare pieces that I won’t ordinarily have access to view. Plus its great to hear an expert explain the background of objects
@@williamlloyd3769 plus, it just says "Antiques" in the name of the channel, so there is no stipulation for a particular type of antique. The best are always the "finds" from people that have had an antique lying around their house for years, not knowing their value, but it is cool to know stuff like this exists.
Yes, but it gives people at home the opportunity to see it that normally couldn’t. I’m British living 3,000 miles away in the US and this is the first time I’ve seen it. It’s just remarkable workmanship to admire.
I don’t think they were there to get the value like regular people. They were there to show people this amazing collection because they know people at AR would appreciate them. I know I did.
The program is about rare, beautiful, unusual, historical items not about money. Plus it is especially sad to hear how much of a mundane value we put on something and reduce it to its basest of levels but it is wonderful to know these things exist and to see the craftsmanship plus hear of their rarity. It’s not just about money all the time.
So they came to show off basically haha
Absolutely exquisite and items I've never seen before. Perhaps worth 6 figures?
I like to think somewhere in Britain an old lady is using stuff like this every day on her table, unaware of their value. And I mean a pensioner, not Camilla...
My mom uses silverware and crystal almost every week. She doesn't care about value, but the beauty
Im more in shock these professionals are not wearing the legendary "white gloves"😅
Value?
I will pay thhe scrap price lmk
They didn't show if there were any proof marks...
And its value is......??
Probably priceless given its rarity. I don’t think its value is really important since it’ll never be sold.
@@jeremypearson6852 Well they are surely insured like any other asset belonging to the college. They would have an agreed insurance value at least.
So, anyone know the name(s) of the persons who created these items, or are those names irrelevant to those who claim ownership? I assure you the master of house didn't make these, anymore than Vanderbilt "built" Biltmore? Such priggishness on display.
These items were mostly made nearly 500 years ago, before hallmarks were a regular thing. Very few craftsmen signed their wares back then.
@@Mark-vj7zd You - like everyone else - completely missed the point.
@@bivideo7 nope. I addressed the only point in your post vaguely worth addressing. The faux-social outrage didn’t interest me.
@@Mark-vj7zd Missed it again. But, why comment on something you found uninteresting? Waiting for your mom to bring you chicken nuggets in her basement, in her silver service?
@@bivideo7 (sigh) I try not to subscribe to the view that Americans lack any decent education, but some of you make it difficult.
What is value,
Literally priceless.
Ah, the american question. The polite answer would be "somewhere between what you would pay for it and what you would sell it for".
However, as these items are all so rare they are approaching that tragically over- and mis-used description "unique", the only way these items would be sold (and consequently purchased) would be on the black market and the buyer would not be able to boast about his ownership (except to other people happy to own illegally acquired treasures) or otherwise have them out in the open on display.
Which, sadly, means that the real negotiable value is their worth as scrap bullion, and I am afraid that would not make the crime of stealing these items worth the trouble and inconvenience.
To replace them all with equivalent objects would probably take a team of people, and millions of pounds, years to do.
No monetary price given!
If I have to buy it....I certainly would not want the college crap on it!!!
It's 😂 2024.
The value would be nice but his nose is to far in the sky
