During episode 5 of season 19 of Antiques Road Trip, presenters Charles Hanson and Margie Cooper are on a mission to uncover hidden gems and antique treasures in the Welsh countryside.
Their journey begins in the picturesque town of Newport, where Margie finds a collection of vintage ceramics at the local antiques fair. Charles, on the other hand, heads to a nearby farmhouse to explore the barns and sheds for any interesting finds.
As they continue on their adventure, they visit a historic castle where Charles has his sights set on a striking cannonball. Margie, however, stumbles upon a stunning Welsh dresser with intricate, hand-carved details.
Next, the duo visit a unique antiques shop located inside a converted church. Margie is drawn to a Victorian sewing box, while Charles haggles over the price of an ornate brass chandelier.
Their final stop takes them to a sprawling estate, where Margie discovers a rare set of antique books and Charles has his eye on a stunning art deco lamp.
Throughout the episode, the presenters engage in lighthearted banter and competition as they try to outdo each other with their finds and profits. With their purchases in tow, they head to an auction house to see how their items fare in the bidding war.
As always, the show offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of antique collecting and the history behind each unique piece. From centuries-old books to intricate ceramics, viewers are sure to be impressed by the array of treasures uncovered in this episode.
