Season 1
This is a British based show in which antique appraisers travel to various regions of the United Kingdom and appraise antiques brought in by local residents. There are also international versions of the popular program.
Local people bring along their possessions to be evaluated for authenticity and interest and an approximate valuation is given. Often, the professional evaluators give a rather in-depth historical, craft, or artistic context to the antique, adding a very strong cultural element to the show.
This increases the show’s appeal to people interested in the study of the past or some particular crafts, or certain arts, regardless of the monetary value of the objects.
