Four Rooms

Kray Twin paintings

Two paintings by the Kray Twins.

Notorious gangsters Ronnie and Reggie Kray ran violent protection rackets in the East End until 1969, when the two were both given prison sentences for murder.

These idyllic countryside scenes were painted by the twins, whilst they served time at Her Majesty's pleasure. They are signed, dated and stamped by HMP Pankhurst. Seller Milly bought the two paintings for around £2200.

Entering Andrew's room first, Milly was surprised when he offered £1000 for each painting. However, she turned his offer down and went head-to-head in a price war with Celia.

The two came to a deal which they were both pleased with... little did Milly know that Celia would have paid far more had she pushed her further.

Sold to Celia Sawyer for £3000.

Katie Price's wedding carriage

The Cinderella pumpkin-shaped carriage that Katie Price used to travel to her wedding to Peter Andre.

The carriage was designed and commissioned by seller Georgina, who had it made for her daughter's Holy Communion. When Katie Price booked the carriage for her wedding to Peter Andre in 2005, it immediately became one of the most memorable features of the day.

Armed with an asking price of £50,000, Georgina visited Andrew first, but was disappointed to receive an offer of £8000. Celia doubled that figure, but it still didn't impress Georgina. Gordon called the object 'extraordinary', but wouldnt raise his price of £16,000.

It was left to Jeff to make an offer. He loved the carriage but was dismayed to hear Georgina had a similar standby carriage, lowering his offer from £42,000 to £7500.

Cardboard furniture

A sofa and armchair made out of cardboard.

Seller Liam is a designer based in Manchester. The armchair and sofa set are made from 100% recycled cardboard and are prototypes from a collection that he launched in 2010. Liam has won many awards for his work in the past, including Best Of Manchester Product Design.

He hoped the prototypes would fetch £20,000 and give the dealers the opportunity to invest in his designs in the future.

Liam visited Celia first, who told him that she was the most suited of the dealers and her clients were always looking for a 'star' piece. He turned down her offer of £15,000 but, when Andrew and Gordon's offers didn't come close, Jeff was his only hope.

Jeff offered Liam £1, saying he should keep the furniture as a pension fund and Liam saw his dreams of a big deal turn to papier mache.

Dracula's desk

The desk on which author Bram Stoker wrote the novel Dracula.

Dracula is one the most famous horror films in history and was adapted from the original novel written in 1897. The desk had been passed by the Stoker family to a neighbour of the seller, Billy.

Billy has owned the desk for a number of years and has even written his own novels on it. He believes that it has been the source of some supernatural occurrences and whoever owns it is struck with bad luck.

Despite its shabby appearance and missing drawers, he hoped to sell the desk for £5000.

Billy visited Celia first, who was worried about the condition of the desk. She offered £1000 but Billy decided to move on. Gordon admitted he liked the object but wouldn't go higher than £2000.

Perhaps sensing that he may have been close to walking away empty-handed, Billy decided to accept Andrew's offer of £2000 in the next room he visited. It was a good thing he did as Jeff revealed the highest he would have gone to was 28p.

Sold to Andrew Lamberty for £2000.

Damien Hirst's Fish

A fish in formaldehyde by the artist Damien Hirst.

In 1995, Damien Hirst won the Turner Prize and exploded onto the art scene. His artworks included a series of dead animals, sometimes dissected and immersed in formaldehyde. They divided a nation and made him famous with both critics and dealers alike.

Sellers John and Darren were given the artwork by Damien's brother, Bradley, and it hung in their fish and chip shop in Leeds until 2002.

The artwork attracted a lot of attention and the sellers hoped that it would attract them the ambitious price of £100,000-£150,000 in Four Rooms.

John and Darren were offered a whopping £40,000 in the first room by Celia, which they turned down. Offers didn't get close to their asking price in Andrew or Gordon's rooms and Darren and John started to rethink their price.

They held out for Jeff and were greeted by his famous dice. They won the toss of odds and evens and walked away with £22,500. The sellers were happy with the result despite walking away with a lot less than Celia's original offer.

Sold to Jeffrey Salmon for £22,500.
