Antiques Road Trip expert gasps at amazing real value | UK News
An Antiques Road Trip star was left in raptures when the true value of a Scottish desk was finally revealed. Celebrity Antiques Road Trip headed to Glasgow in tonight’s episode, welcoming TV judges Keith Brymer Jones and Esme Young as they scoured antiques outlets in search of hidden gems.
With steerage from BBC resident expert Charles Hanson, Esme was directed in direction of a late nineteenth Century Chinese desk, which Charles strongly suggested she choose for the ultimate public sale. “The reason I like it, it’s a hard wood”, Charles explained.
“And in some respects, the market of anything Chinese, Asian, has taken off.”
“And it’s just well-made. Look at the patination. It’s got a lovely colour about it, quite hard to achieve in a hard wood.”
The duo splashed out £150 on the desk and despite Charles having high expectations, it in the end fetched significantly more than even he had anticipated.
As the public sale bought underway later in the episode, bidding opened at £100 before steadily climbing, with an more and more animated Charles crying: “Ching ching”, and “Come on baby!”
The ultimate hammer price soared nicely past what Esme and Charles had initially paid, reaching a outstanding £360, leaving fellow expert Roo Irvine visibly surprised.
She remarked: “That’s phenomenal. It is deserving of that.”
Charles warmly shook Esme’s hand, saying “thanks partner”, while she graciously credited him, including: “That’s down to you.”
Keith gave the pair a well-deserved spherical of applause, and when Roo requested how he felt, he replied: “Lost for words. No I’m pleased for them.”
Esme then playfully interjected: “I absolutely don’t believe you’re lost for words”, as the group burst into laughter.
Antiques Road Trip is accessible to watch on BBC iPlayer.
