Episode 12

Auctioneer Christina Trevanion and restorer Will Kirk visit Northamptonshire to help Carol sift through her late husband鈥檚 collection of antiques. How much is it all worth?

Christina Trevanion and Will Kirk take their little blue van to Northamptonshire to visit Carol, her sons Keith and Thomas and her French terrier Buster.

Carol recently lost her husband, John, who was an avid antiques collector. With his treasures displayed all over the house, Carol is finding it hard to cope with all the memories. The family have called in Christina and Will to help them sell the items they鈥檙e happy to part with. Carol plans to use the money made at auction to do up a spot in the garden in memory of her much-missed husband.

John was a keen collector of silver objects and enamelled boxes, much to Christina鈥檚 excitement. Meanwhile, Will hunts down a tired-looking clock that could do with a bit of his magic touch, and finds a cuddly little friend in need of some repair. And when all the rummaging gets too much, there鈥檚 time for a spot of horse racing, courtesy of another of John鈥檚 antique purchases.

Our auctioneers pitch up their pop-up saleroom in Worcestershire, at the Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings, where bidders gather to snap up some historic auction items while others bid from around the world online. Just how much is John鈥檚 huge collection worth?
