BBC Antiques Roadshow guest questions valuation of rare silver item


Antiques Roadshow turned awkward on Sunday night as one guest appeared to suggest that his mystery object had been undervalued by an expert

During the show filmed at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, expert Gordon Foster was captivated by an unusual piece brought in for evaluation. The item owner then disclosed that it was actually a live fly box for angling, sharing he was immensely 'proud' of this keepsake - a present from his spouse to mark their 17-year celebratory silver wedding milestone. Acknowledging the rarity of such an item, Gordron conceded that in his extensive career, similar cases were few and far between, emphasising that this object had 'everything going for it', being made of solid silver, hailing from Asprey, and styled in the Art Deco period, reports the Express.
