Antiques Roadshow Book: 40 Years of Great Finds
$40.00
Description
Released in November 2017, this book reveals the astonishing stories behind 97 findings, such as the discovery of the Lalique vase which had been purchased for a pound at a car boot sale in England, because the lady wanted the pot plant that had been planted in it. When the plant died the container was left in the attic, only to be valued and sold for twenty five thousand pounds. “Now tell me more about your loft”, quips expert valuer Eric Knowles.
Marvel at the 23 Beatrix Potter Drawings, a letter written by a doomed passenger on the Titanic, a rare Steiff Titanic Bear discovered in Melbourne, Australia, or a brooch designed by the great Victorian architect William Burgess, and the story of Ozzy the Owl has to be one of the best ever recorded. Compiled by Antiques Roadshow experts Paul Attebury & Marc Allum, it is beautifully illustrated, featuring a wealth of artefacts from the show.
