Dear David Harper, my tea pot valuation was off by 500 pounds. My dating was last Friday. We had dinner and a kiss. Oh .. you mean date the Viking pendant? Cheerio
I inherited a Cliff vase from my Nan, which I sold to someone, a dealer in the UK (before I moved to Australia from Canada) for a hefty sum…It had a sunflower motif-it was then I researched her, and totally fell in love with all of her designs. Although a regrettable sale for sentimental reasons, (I had loved it as a child, too) I am glad it went to someone who would ensure it went to an avid collector, and my Nana who was born in Scotland and emigrated to Canada in the early 1920s) would have been very proud. I kept photos of it though, and often pull them out to reminisce.
I valued the teapot correctly...I'm shocked...I don't usually get even close to the value!!! Love you David...love watching you and learn so, so much. Your #1 FAN!!!
You can see the casting marks and lumps on the rear of the pendant. Like the marks on the bottom of vintage glass foot where it was blown and then broken off the rod.
Hello from Western Australia. I was so happy to find your channel today. I've been watching you for years on t.v. I guessed the right answer for both objects. Thanks for the interesting content.
As an avid Antique Road trip viewer I accidentally stumbled upon your TH-cam channel. Good stuff! Greetings from Amsterdam and keep up the good work along with all your co-presenters (Anita in particular and voice-over master mr. Tim Wonnacott! Blessings!
@@DavidHarperAntiques Your expertise is unmatched and you all teach us (non native speakers especially) so much on form, content, history, beauty and Tim's snappy remarks are are pure delight. Now this channel digs even deeper. Well done!
02:20 58 pounds for solid mahogany is bonkers is right! Just try buying Ikea crapola for that price. The Clarice Cliff teapot doesn't float my boat and it wouldn't go nuts here. In the UK? I guessed the thousand. It's original hand-painted ware. The "Viking" pendant looks a nice piece of sand-cast, but I'm quite surprised that it's old. To be absolutely sure I'd have needed to get my hands on it. Pictures like like rugs; fingers don't.
Yes I valued it correctly! I was cruising through your catalog and there was a bejeweled skull that was I think £850. I felt it was the same or similar age and it felt right to go with the teapot, being hard to find, completing a set might give it a better value and 1400 seemed just too much. So I really did an estimate based on available information.
Totally wrong with the tea pot valuation, but spot on with the pendant. Will have to have a visit to the York shop this year. It looks as if it's packed with a wide range of items.
Thanks for showing York miss this place hope to get back there one day from Oz .I thought £250 and definitely real on the Viking pendant.Lovely antique centre.
Yes, absolutely, paint it! It’s the only way to save some of these items, many of which are being thrown away, after not getting bids in auctions. Plus it’s more environmentally responsible to do that than buy new from IKEA! Good topic for a slightly contentious video!! Thanks for watching. Cheers. D
Nope! I was way out at £250 as I thought she wasn't selling so well. Hey ho! However I do have weekend away booked at the Guy Falkes Inn so I shall visit the red house whilst there. Great video xxx
Very nice to meet you yesterday David! Sorry I felt a little weird asking for a photo with you 😅 I ended up buying a Victorian brooch and a vintage tin from the shop whilst I was browsing! Hope you enjoyed the rest of your day in York :)
Great show David, i got them both right, wahey, i pick up a bit of knowledge watching flog it and road trip etc. Just getting into vintage watches which to be honest are beautiful objects and Bulova are just such good value, the Accutron 214 is amazing and if you put one to your ear you can hear the sound of the sixties space program. Looking forward to the next show.
Cheers George and watches are doing so well. Did you spot the vintage Omega Seamaster I was wearing in this video? I’ll be doing a video on Omega soon - this one is part of a big collection I’ll be selling. Love them!
YES! I got it spot on and I am telliing the truth! Think I have watched too much Antiques Road Trip, Flog it etc!! I also own a small piece of Clarice Cliff.
Hi David, from Tennessee USA and enjoy your videos. Hard to believe that the necklace was really an antiquity, but there you go. Question regarding the tea table, I thought I saw a big chip in the veneered edge of the table top. It looked like the top was not solid mahogany, but rather layered wood. I may have misunderstood your description. It is not period, correct? Keep up the great work. I know it must take alot of your time putting the videos out. It's great to see a friendly face on the screen and the chance to learn about antiques from an expert. Thanks, Tim
Thanks for watching Tim. Yes, you’re right, there’s a piece of veneer missing from the table, but yes it’s period, circa 1835. Amazing value for money. Cheers, D
@@DavidHarperAntiques Thanks David. Enjoy your videos and look forward to new ones. Regarding suggestions, what about videos using the old "put your money where your mouth is" format. Pick three pieces from boot sale, flea market auction and evaluate those for us. Another idea is just provide insight on "picking" such where to look in the internet age with all the pitfalls of the digital market, how to flip items for profit, how to spot trends in antiquing. Plus, just hearing your story on how you got involved in antiques, biggest lessons learned, where the market is going, and picking topics like advertising signs, Chinese ceramics, English pottery, majolica, also, spotting fakes and reproductions. Oviously, I have lots I'd like to ask you! Thanks, Tim McC
I forgot to add i arrived at the price for Clarice Cliff through watching the shows i mentioned but the pendant i thought would not be worth the price if it was a victorian copy and a piece of modern art would have to be singed to fetch a price like that and ive seen ancient artifacts go for that sort of money at antique fairs and such, i always think wow so cheap for something so old and attractive too, if only it could talk.
I am not a fan of the teapot. I can understand the allure of having a famous teapot in the house, but for that money, I would want something with more substance and grandeur. As for the Viking pendant, what proof was there that it is real? That would have been helpful to know that it was found during a dig or with a Viking hoard. I think the biggest advice I have gotten from you and you other TV buddies is that when it come to antiques, buy with your heart. The teapot is 100 years old, or just shy of it, making it barely an antique, and it is priced at 1000. Then, you have something that is truly an antique (ancient) at 1000 years old, and it is worth only 175. Who truly sets the value of objects? Auction houses when things similar get sold? Furniture is way cheap, when not too long ago, fair value price was three or more times what they are valued now days. On the rare occasion when someone buys a picture on Bargain Hunt or Antiques Road Trip, they often do very well, yet it seems the professionals on the shows stay clear of them. I just get so confused as to why people buy writing slopes and ink wells, when all they become are dust collectors. They fetch better prices than something that can still be useful today like a 200 year old blanket chest, or antique boxes that have a huge usage to them today. I guess I would be rubbish as a dealer or a buyer. I should stick to teaching.
I would this to share with you alot of Antique Bronze that i have in Africa That made of Expensive Metals so how can send you there pictures sir , the Antique that i have is, Horses, Birds, Dogs, Wolf, turtles,crocodile, knifes, plates, camels, ETC. So if you Are Intresting Contuct me thanks alot.
It blows me away seeing how cheaply that beautiful old furniture is being sold for. If you want a piece of furniture to last a lifetime, buy older furniture.
I did guess. When unsure, I go for the middle option. But I must confess I'd have spent £ 1000.00 on anything "Gibraltar" instead ! 🏞 It's my favourite, due to the sailboats and the sea.⛵ It's also one of a very few Clarice Cliff patterns wich don't give me a headache. 😁😖😎 Stay safe and well. Love from Norway 💖🇳🇴
Dear David let's have more of these podcasts. I love it. You have a natural, easy going style which I like.
thank you Stan yes, plenty more to come from antiques centres!
This young man is so informative about antiques. Best podcasts about antiques.
Big thanks Stan. D
Tell me how you did with your valuations and dating attempts!!
Dear David Harper, my tea pot valuation was off by 500 pounds. My dating was last Friday. We had dinner and a kiss. Oh .. you mean date the Viking pendant? Cheerio
I was terribly off! I underestimated the teapot and thought the Viking piece was new! 😂🤦♂️
I inherited a Cliff vase from my Nan, which I sold to someone, a dealer in the UK (before I moved to Australia from Canada) for a hefty sum…It had a sunflower motif-it was then I researched her, and totally fell in love with all of her designs.

I kept photos of it though, and often pull them out to reminisce.
I love it how antique objects can take us back in time in our minds to people and places. Very special
Got the teapot price but thought the Viking necklace was a repro from Victorian times!!!
I valued the teapot correctly...I'm shocked...I don't usually get even close to the value!!! Love you David...love watching you and learn so, so much. Your #1 FAN!!!
Hello again from Florida. Thanks again David for the channel. You should have at least a thousand more subscribers.
Cheer Tim, getting there slowly!
Beautiful shopping venue, thank you for posting your adventure!
Thank you too

Hello to you Joan and thanks for watching! D
Yes got it spot on my wife has a tea set by her which is very different from her usual style I can't find anything like it
I got the teapot value correct primarily since you said it was a rare piece.
David Harper. I got the Viking pendant wrong coz I think it’s important to be able to handle the item..I went for Victorian
I see lot of clarice cliff influence in your paintings David.
Yes, I’ve always been a big fan of hers. The use of colour and freedom in her style was ground breaking

THE RED HOUSE ANTIQUES CENTRE IS GREAT !!! Where As Stonegate Modern Collectables 'Antiques' Centre IS NOT !!!

Well worth a visit

Thanks Maggie, I love York too. Just over an hour from me, so I go regularly. D
"Paint it", he said. "If you don't like the" (fab patina) "colour, paint it". Australia groans. Blimey David.

lol.. yes, after you kept going on.. I picked 1000
I got it spot on.
Great episode... Correct value on C. C. but wrong on the pendant. I was wondering, what was it made from?
Pendant was a real tricky one. And it was cast metal of some sort. Hard to comprehend it’s age!
Thanks, David :)
YES! I got it spot on and I am telliing the truth! Think I have watched too much Antiques Road Trip, Flog it etc!! I also own a small piece of Clarice Cliff.
Well done and you can never watch too many Antiques programmes!!

@@timmcc1044 Good suggestion Tim. I miss PYMWYMI that was a great show to film.
I could've sworn I saw Drew Pitchard in the thumbnail
I valued it correctly! But would never spend that on it haha, not a big fan. Like my ethnographia :-) Another good vid thanks. Very informative.
Cheers Paul
If I could I would work for free at that shop😂😂😂
What else in York, but the real Viking pendant, but still got it wrong,
I forgot to add i arrived at the price for Clarice Cliff through watching the shows i mentioned but the pendant i thought would not be worth the price if it was a victorian copy and a piece of modern art would have to be singed to fetch a price like that and ive seen ancient artifacts go for that sort of money at antique fairs and such, i always think wow so cheap for something so old and attractive too, if only it could talk.
It’s remarkable isn’t it just how inexpensive ancient objects can really be. You can buy a nice Roman glass bottle for under £100!
The tea pot would not have made a 1000 at auction that’s for sure!
maybe not in auction
Not as well on the Viking axe but that sort of thing needs to be actually in my face to tell it's age
Been in there a few times but never got to meet you 😭
It’s a great spot for buying
@@DavidHarperAntiques I’ll head back soon, it’s next door to us
Got the Viking necklace wrong. Cheap price for something that old.
Easy done Margaret, these things are such good value for money. Always surprising !
C. Cliff 250 pounds. Viking new. So difficult
Tricky hey! Thanks for getting involved D
Today this CC is about 100.

buy with your heart if collecting, but a good dealer also introduces his head...difficult to do though! thanks for watching
Should be worth more age wise
I know you’d think so, but age doesn’t always mean value!
I said victoriana copy so I got it wrong.
I would this to share with you alot of Antique Bronze that i have in Africa That made of Expensive Metals so how can send you there pictures sir , the Antique that i have is, Horses, Birds, Dogs, Wolf, turtles,crocodile, knifes, plates, camels, ETC. So if you Are Intresting Contuct me thanks alot.
I've just heard him say "if you don't like the colour, paint it". Now I'm off this young man lol.
Blimey, that popularity didn’t last long…don’t worry, I’m used to it!! Thanks for watching though! D
Ah said 250
Hello from Portugal.
Terrible tea pot...I would pay 10 euros to dont look at it.
It blows me away seeing how cheaply that beautiful old furniture is being sold for. If you want a piece of furniture to last a lifetime, buy older furniture.
People should just go on invaluable and look around... all this endless blathering and huckstering is a waste of time.
I did guess. When unsure, I go for the middle option.
But I must confess I'd have spent £ 1000.00 on anything "Gibraltar" instead ! 🏞
It's my favourite, due to the sailboats and the sea.⛵
It's also one of a very few Clarice Cliff patterns wich don't give me a headache.
😁😖😎
Stay safe and well.
Love from Norway 💖🇳🇴
Thanks for taking part Nina
