Antiques Road Trip

Episode 19 (22x19)

:

With a swirl of tartan and a burst of the bagpipes, our Scottish tour continues in Fife with antiques experts Natasha Raskin Sharp and Steven Moore. The 1960s Rolls Royce glides the pair through countryside and town as they head from the east coast to central Scotland. Natasha’s money reserves are dwindling, so she cautiously settles on a bargain piece of Scottish studio pottery. However, a canny buy of an arts and crafts-style lantern pays dividends at the auction in Hamilton. Natasha also finds the time to visit Kirkcaldy and hears the little-known story of how this Scottish town became a Victorian global powerhouse in, of all things, flooring manufacture. Steven receives the red carpet treatment as he steps on board the Royal Yacht Britannia in Leith to learn the centuries-old customs of royal yachts. With almost £400 burning a hole in his pocket, Steven seeks out quality antiques, picking up silver teaspoons and spirit flasks. He also finds an intriguing item called a hate belt. Will the bidders love it?
