In Antiques Road Trip season 6 episode 2, our expert antique hunters hit the road once again to find hidden treasures across the country. With the pressure on to make a profit at auction, they delve deep into local antique shops, markets, and auctions in search of undiscovered gems.
In this episode, we meet the dynamic duo of Tim Medhurst and Christina Trevanion, who are set to compete against each other in a race to find the most lucrative antique items. With a budget of £200 each, they embark on their journey to unearth items that will fetch a high price at auction.
Their first stop is an antique shop in the heart of the Cotswolds, where Tim is immediately drawn to a quirky silver bird-shaped flask. Meanwhile, Christina has her eye on a beautiful pink glass vase. Both items are priced over budget, so our expert hunters have to use their bargaining skills to secure a deal.
The next stop on their journey takes them to a local antiques fair, where Tim spots a huge abstract painting that catches his eye. The painting is way over his budget, but he sees potential in it, so he decides to take a risk and touts his skills in negotiation to buy it at a lower price.
Meanwhile, Christina discovers a stunning antique diamond tiara and is determined to win the bidding war for it. It's rare to find such an exquisite piece, so the competition between our antique experts is fierce.
As they continue their journey, Tim discovers a beautifully crafted antique snuff box and a novelty silver pepperette in the shape of a cat. Christina, on the other hand, uncovers an antique silver serving dish and an antique tapestry. They both hope that their unique finds will make them a profit at auction.
The final stop on their journey takes them to an auction house in Leominster, where they will compete to see who can make the most profit from their purchases. Their nerves are high as they eagerly watch the bidding for their items. Will their antique finds be worth what they hope?
In this exciting episode of Antiques Road Trip, we follow the adventures of two expert hunters as they race against time to uncover hidden treasures in local antique shops, markets, and auctions. We watch as they use their skills in negotiation and determination to secure the best deals, hoping to make a profit at auction.
