Ep 20. Episode 20

In season 4 episode 20 of Antiques Road Trip, the two expert presenters, Claire Rawle and Paul Laidlaw, continue their journey around Britain in their vintage cars to seek out antiques and collectibles to sell at auction.

Their first stop is a charming farm in rural Dorset where they meet a local collector who shows them his impressive collection of antique agricultural equipment. The duo marvels at the variety of vintage tools and machinery, including a rare seed planter that Paul immediately sets his sights on. However, Claire is drawn to a beautiful Victorian chaise longue that she thinks will perform well at auction.

Next, the two experts head to the city of Bath in Somerset to visit a dealer with a stunning collection of crystal glassware. Claire is thrilled to discover a set of delicate champagne glasses with an ornate Art Nouveau design, and Paul spots a pair of elegant decanters that he thinks will fetch a good price at auction.

Their final destination for the day is the bustling market town of Frome in Somerset, where they explore a quirky antiques emporium full of unusual and eclectic items. Claire gets excited about a striking 19th-century taxidermy peacock and Paul is intrigued by a rare military map of the local area dating back to the early 1800s.

With their purchases made, the experts must now wait for the big auction in Wells, where they hope to make a profit. However, the pressure is on as they meet with their chosen auctioneer to discuss their items and hear his valuation. It's a nervous wait as they watch their treasures go under the hammer, but will they make a profit or a loss?

Viewers can look forward to an episode filled with fascinating history, beautiful antiques, and entertaining banter between the two presenters. The stunning scenery of the West Country makes for a picturesque backdrop to their travels, and the excitement of the auction gives a thrilling conclusion to their journey.
