All valuations were correct at the time of broadcast. These golden sculptures were made between 1811 and 1813 by goldsmith Paul Storr, who is regarded as one of the finest British goldsmiths ever. It's no wonder these are so valuable! 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 Salisbury in 1991.

One of the greatest moments in Antiques Roadshow history, next to the Crawley Silver.

@kingy002 Год назад

I know what you mean, but Crawley caps it for me. That backstory to the Crawley silver was fascinating and there is a good clip on here if you don't know about it.

This was back in the day when 40,000 would do more than just pay your electricity bill.

You could buy a house in 1991 for that much. Quite a nice one, too.

Roughly 116,000 pounds in today's money, or $144,000. These were worth roughly two to three years salary for most people around 1990. Incredible. Surely, they must be worth at least $100,000 today.

His reaction at the end is the British version of jumping out of his seat and ripping off his clothes screaming. Lady behind him lost it even more. A scandinavian might have raised an eyebrow AND drawn breath and it would be talked about in his family for generations.

@repeat911 Год назад

How many items like this are on thrift store shelves or sold at yard sales for pennies? I guess some education and research could potentially pay off.

@krisbest6405 Год назад

I watch alot of resellers they make a huge wage as you said.

@scarletred8888 Год назад

Not many, these items are rare anyway, things are much easier to research nowadays with the internet, a quick look on your phone and you know what you've got, however consistent searching does sometimes pay off!

@Gigi-14 Год назад

They are certainly exquisite, but I wonder whether they’d be heavy or fit in the hand easily. I would enjoy them as art sculptures. I hope his heirs held on to them. 😊

@bullet-catcherhohoho250 Год назад

You would not shake them, the shell part would be open and you would pinch the salt out of the top of them.

@zeruzio1345 Год назад

@@bullet-catcherhohoho250I think you may be incorrect. There atlre four holes visible at 0:10 on the side where you do have the option of sprinkling the salt but it does look like pinching the salt is also a possibility.

The intrinsic value of that much gold would be worth quite a bit. I am curious what the melted down value would have been vs the intact artwork value.

@dougaltolan3017 Год назад

Melted down... A few quid. Theres a bit where he said "guilding"

@KellysAdventures305 Год назад

The spoons are missing. The bowl of the spoon is a scallop shell and the handle comes up to a trident. Neptune's trident. I bet worth alot more if he had the matching spoons.

Since the valuation of items seemingly has life or death consequences, I've edited my post so as not to "spoil £" the end. Thank you for choosing RU-vid theater, make sure to visit the concession stand before the start of the movie, and please silence all cell phones. Enjoy the cliff-hanger cinematic wonder you are about to experience!
