Charles Hanson and Raj Bisram are back for another exciting day of antiquing on Antiques Road Trip season 24 episode 24. The dynamic duo begins their journey in the picturesque village of Haxey, Lincolnshire, where they will commence their search for valuable antiques to sell for a profit at auction.
The day begins with a visit to Haxey Gate Inn, an 18th-century coaching inn that is packed with history and interesting items. Charles sets his sights on a set of Georgian silver tea spoons, while Raj is drawn to a unique brass chamber stick. However, they quickly discover that the price for these items may be more than they are willing to pay, and they move on to their next stop.
Their next destination is the nearby town of Epworth, where they explore the historic St. Andrew's Church. They are on the hunt for a rare 17th-century bible, but all they can find is a modern reproduction. Undeterred, they continue their quest throughout the town, and Raj stumbles upon a beautiful Art Deco mirror while Charles discovers a quirky antique gambling game.
As the day wears on, the two experts head to a local antique shop to see if they can uncover any hidden gems. Here they find a range of interesting items, including a rare 1930s book on cricket and a set of quirky Victorian-era shoe lasts. They are also introduced to an eccentric dealer who has a passion for vintage oil lamps, and they inspect a beautiful Art Nouveau lamp that catches their eye.
As the day winds down, Charles and Raj head to an auction house in the nearby town of Grantham to sell their finds. They are both quietly confident in their items and hope to make a tidy profit, but they are soon faced with stiff competition from other bidders. The auction is tense and fast-paced, with both experts fighting until the very end to secure the best possible price for their items.
In the end, it is a close call, and both Charles and Raj face disappointment as some of their items fail to sell. However, they both come away feeling satisfied with their day of antiquing and are eager to get back on the road for their next adventure.
