Episode 26
Today a Danish rarity, some Indian history, Italian jewellery and a ship's wheel are brought in. Will the dealers bid on them, and will the sellers get the money they want?
Nigel Havers welcomes four more sellers to the Bidding Room, where they try to sell items to five professional dealers who are on the lookout for interesting pieces, with help from expert Simon Bower.
First through the doors is Martin with a ship鈥檚 wheel. He bought it thinking it might have come from a Chinese junk, which could push up its value. Next to do battle with the dealers is Jane, who has brought in her dog Mabel for moral support. She is selling a lazy Susan she picked up almost brand new in a charity shop. Simon reassures her it鈥檚 a fashionable Scandinavian piece and advises Jane to target dealers Lucy and Moses who both like mid-century Scandi items.
Third in is jewellery designer Josie from Nottingham. She has a young daughter and wants to sell a jewellery collection from Italian designer Ermani Bulatti to help do up her daughter鈥檚 bedroom. So will Josie鈥檚 collection - valued at 拢200 - appeal to dealer Tash, who used to work in the fashion industry, or any of the other buyers?
Last up is Jeanette from Leeds, with a cigar case her husband bought for just a shilling. It turns out to have been owned by a British soldier who served in India in the 19th century, and Simon reckons it鈥檚 worth at least 拢50.
Today's dealers are Ian Humphries, James Gooch, Lucy Ryder Richardson, Moses Otunia and Tash Francis.
