In Episode 17 of Antiques Road Trip Season 20, expert presenters Margie Cooper and Paul Laidlaw embark on another exciting adventure across the UK as they explore various antique shops, markets, and auctions in search of hidden treasures.
Their journey starts in Worcestershire, where they visit a stunning Georgian house filled with stunning art, ceramics, and furniture. Margie is immediately drawn to a beautiful Oriental vase, while Paul falls in love with a set of rare silver candlesticks. After negotiating with the enthusiastic owner, the pair manage to secure a good deal and continue their journey.
Their next stop takes them to a bustling antique market in Staffordshire, where they meet some colorful characters and discover a range of intriguing artifacts from the past. Margie finds a quirky brass compass, which she hopes will fetch a decent price at auction, while Paul invests in a set of antique prints, which he believes will appeal to collectors of vintage art.
Their final destination is an auction house in Derbyshire, where they eagerly await the sale of their items. Margie's vase attracts a lot of attention from buyers, and she nervously watches as the bidding begins. Meanwhile, Paul's prints generate a lot of interest, and he hopes to make a significant profit.
After an intense bidding war, Margie's vase eventually sells for a fantastic price, securing her a healthy profit. However, Paul's prints fail to attract as much interest as he hoped, and he's left disappointed with a relatively small return on his investment.
Despite their differing fortunes, Margie and Paul remain in high spirits as they reflect on their latest adventure and prepare for their next challenge. Antiques Road Trip Season 20 Episode 17 is a thrilling and entertaining watch for fans of antiques and history, full of interesting characters, stunning finds, and unexpected twists and turns.
