This episode follows the two British television personalities as they embark on a journey through the county of Essex in search of unique and valuable antiques to auction off for charity.
Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is a well-known interior designer and television personality who has appeared on shows such as Changing Rooms and House Rules. Waldemar Januszczak is an art critic and historian who has worked for the BBC and Sky Arts. Both men have a deep appreciation for art and design, making them the perfect pairing for this episode of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
The episode begins as Laurence and Waldemar set off in their vintage blue Bentley. Their first stop is at an antique dealer in Maldon, where they discover a beautiful Art Deco mirror. The dealer tells them that it was made in the 1930s and could be worth up to £800. Laurence and Waldemar are both impressed with the mirror's sleek design and decide to add it to their collection.
Next, the duo visits an antique fair in the small town of Writtle. Here, they spend hours browsing through the various stalls, looking for items that catch their eye. Waldemar is particularly interested in a collection of old postcards, while Laurence falls in love with a set of vintage glassware. They both end up buying several items each, hoping that they will sell for a good price at auction.
After the antique fair, Laurence and Waldemar make a visit to an antique shop in Chelmsford. Here, they find a beautiful antique clock with intricate detailing. The dealer tells them that it was made in the 1800s and could be worth up to £1,200. Laurence and Waldemar are both taken aback by the clock's beauty and decide to make it their most valuable item.
Their final stop is at an auction house in Colchester, where they prepare to auction off their carefully curated collection of antiques. The two men are nervous as they watch their items go up for bidding, hoping that they will sell for a good price. Laurence is thrilled when his vintage glassware sells for three times its original price, while Waldemar is disappointed when his postcard collection only sells for a fraction of its value.
In the end, Laurence and Waldemar's collection sells for a total of £2,450. They are both thrilled with the result and proud to have raised money for their chosen charities.
Throughout the episode, Laurence and Waldemar's chemistry is evident as they banter and joke with each other. They both have a deep appreciation for art and design, which makes for an interesting and entertaining watch.
