1905 Steiff Bear Hits £800 + 1959 Chateau Palmer Soars to £500

A century-old Steiff teddy with a working growler meets a vintage Bordeaux that no one wants to open. What unfolds in West Yorkshire surprises even the dealers. Valuation specialist Simon spots the telltale Steiff traits despite a missing ear button, setting up a tense bidding battle where two dealers consider teaming up. A French walnut two-faced Georgian nutcracker proves rarer than it looks, while a 1959 Chateau Palmer ignites an unexpected four-way split after a last-minute intervention. And just when the room settles, a mid-century tin-plate mule and clown sparks a playful bidding duel that refuses to quit. From emotional backstories to tactical alliances, this episode shows how provenance, condition, and timing can flip a sale on its head. Watch to see who pairs up, who blinks first, and which items smash their estimates.
