Ep 7. Episode 7

In Antiques Road Trip season 16 episode 7, the two antique experts, Charles Hanson and Izzie Balmer, travel to the East Midlands of England in search of antique treasures. The episode starts with a visit to the famous Chatsworth House, where they explore the extensive collection of art, furniture and other antiques on display. They are particularly impressed by a set of four 18th-century chairs that were made for the French royal family.

The first auction of the episode takes place in Sheffield, where Charles and Izzie meet the auctioneer and learn about the history of the auction house. They then browse the lots and make their first purchases of the day. Izzie is drawn to a collection of vintage cameras, while Charles goes for a pair of Staffordshire dogs. Both of them are hoping to make a good profit on these items at the auction.

Next, the duo travel to Newark-on-Trent, where they visit the Newark Antiques Fair. Here, they have the opportunity to browse thousands of antiques in the outdoor market and meet other antique enthusiasts. They both spot some interesting items, but Izzie is particularly excited by a 19th-century carousel horse, which she thinks will attract a lot of interest at the auction.

After a successful day of antique hunting, Charles and Izzie head to the auction house in Lincoln for the final auction of the episode. They are both feeling confident about their purchases and eager to make a good profit. The auction starts off well, with both of them making good money on their first lots. However, as the auction progresses, the competition becomes more intense and the prices begin to rise.

In the end, both Charles and Izzie manage to sell most of their items for a profit, although there are a few disappointments along the way. Izzie is particularly pleased with her sale of the carousel horse, which fetches a higher price than she had expected. Charles is less successful with his Staffordshire dogs, which fail to attract much interest from bidders.
