Antiques Road Trip
Episode 17
S21 • E17 Dec 8, 2020 45m
We’re on the road again with antiques aficionados Christina Trevanion and Serhat Ahmet, for a wander round the West Midlands and the Black Country. And there’s a new addition to the Road Trip convoy - a very robust Series One Land Rover. Not as nippy as the Porsche Speedster but better over the bumps.
Both experts decide to play to their strengths this time out. Porcelain dealer Serhat gets his paws on a lot of ceramics while Christina goes a bundle on one of her favourites: jewellery. Along the way there are some spooky portraits, the obligatory top hat try-on, not to mention a spot of off-roading.
Taking a break from shopping, Christina heads to a very fine garden to discover the fascinating history of how the Tudors kept themselves clean. Serhat takes a canal journey that leads him back to the Industrial Revolution and deep underground to find out about the practice of 'legging'. Then it’s off to the auction for their purchases to see if Serhat can hold on to his lead or if Christina will put the new recruit back in his place.
