In this episode of Antiques Road Trip, two expert antique dealers hit the road to explore the treasures of England's West Country. They begin their journey in Bristol, a vibrant city known for its art and cultural scene. Here, they pay a visit to a local auction house to pick up some pieces for the upcoming auction.
Their first stop is a quirky antique store housed in an old brewery, where the dealers find a unique selection of items ranging from a pair of vintage binoculars to a Victorian-era snuff box. They also visit a sprawling countryside estate, where they examine a collection of antique furniture and decorative items, including a stunning 18th-century mirror.
Next, the dealers venture into the heart of the West Country, to the picturesque town of Wells, famous for its stunning cathedral and historic architecture. They discover a small antique shop brimming with curiosities, including a rare set of antique textiles and a beautiful collection of vintage glassware.
The trip continues through the rolling countryside, where they stumble upon a traditional country house filled with vintage treasures, including a beautiful Georgian table and an antique oil painting. The dealers are particularly excited to find a rare antique music box, and they spend some time examining its intricate workings and beautiful sound.
As they make their way towards their final destination, the dealers visit a charming market town, where they find a wealth of antique silver and china. They also encounter a group of local artisans, who demonstrate their craft skills and offer up a selection of handmade pottery and jewellery.
Finally, the dealers arrive at their destination, a grand manor house that is set to host the upcoming auction. Here, they carefully unpack and display their finds, hoping to impress the auctioneer and attract the highest bids.
The episode concludes with the exciting auction, as the dealers' finds are put under the hammer and the tension builds. Will their treasures fetch a good price, or will they return home with empty pockets? Tune in to find out in this exciting episode of Antiques Road Trip.
