Antiques Road Trip: Season 26, Episode 25

26 - 25: Episode 25

It's the last outing with experts Natasha Raskin Sharp and Philip Serrell. Their four-nation tour continues, and after a gallivant around England and Scotland, this time they're touring Northern Ireland and then heading to an auction in Wrexham, Wales.

Natasha is dazzled by the sight of a bright pink Majolica lotus-pattern tea service and the sounds of the Irish fiddle. She even gets a mini masterclass on how to play this centuries-old instrument of the Emerald Isle.

Philip is feeling the pinch and is desperate to find some profit-making antiques. He scoops up an old bowler hat, a pair of early dumbbells and a mid-19th-century worktable that reminds him of his beloved granny. In Belfast, he finds out about Irish linen and just why the fields of Northern Ireland were once blanketed by the ‘wee blue blossom'.

At the final auction, the internet bidders go wild for one lot, making one tripper thrilled with the result.
