Jay Blades and the team restore a troublesome barmaid clock, a precious silver looking-glass and a 20th-century design classic - an Eames chair.

Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.

Resident clock expert Steven Fletcher is in receipt of an unusual time piece. It's a statue of a barmaid holding a swinging pendulum clock dial. These clocks are known for being temperamental, but with a good clean and a few replacement parts, Steve has it swinging once more.

Silversmith Brenton West task is to restore a precious hand mirror that has lost its glass, incurred numerous dents and seen several of its features wear away. Brenton sets about replacing them and uses some old tricks of the trade to bring the treasure back to life.

Specialist mid-century furniture restorer Graeme Mancha overhauls an iconic piece of contemporary furniture - an Eames chair. The chair arrived snapped in two, but after hours of careful repair and rejuvenation, it leaves looking as good as it did in the Swinging Sixties.
