Ep 6. Episode 6

In Antiques Road Trip season 1 episode 6, the two hosts, Mark Stacey and David Barby, embark on a trip through North Yorkshire and East Anglia in search of valuable antiques to sell at auction.

The episode begins with Mark and David visiting an antiques fair in Harrogate, where they hope to find some bargains. Mark is immediately drawn to a Georgian mahogany chest of drawers, while David is more interested in a vintage camera. They both manage to haggle down the prices and make some good purchases.

Next, they visit a grand country house near York, where they hope to find some high-end antique furniture. The owner shows them around the house, pointing out various pieces of furniture and giving them a history lesson. They are particularly interested in a Regency mahogany sideboard and a set of six 18th-century dining chairs. However, the owner is reluctant to sell and they are unable to make a deal.

Undeterred, they continue their journey and visit several antique shops in the area. Mark finds a beautiful silver teaspoon set, while David discovers a rare Wedgwood vase. However, they both agree that the prices are too high and decide to keep looking.

Their next stop is Norwich, where they visit an auction house to see what items are coming up for sale. Mark is fascinated by an unusual grandfather clock, while David is impressed by a collection of vintage toys. As they leave the auction house, they spot a sign for a nearby antiques fair and decide to check it out.

At the antiques fair, they both find some real gems. Mark discovers a stunning Victorian silver teapot, while David is excited to find a rare 17th-century map of London. They are both confident that these items will fetch a good price at auction.

Finally, they visit an antique dealer in Cambridge, who specializes in Chinese ceramics. He shows them some beautiful porcelain vases and bowls, but they are out of their price range. However, he does have a pair of Japanese swords that catch David's eye. He decides to take a risk and buy them, hoping that they will fetch a good price.

The episode ends with Mark and David heading to an auction house to sell their purchases. They are nervous but excited to see how much money they will make. Will they make a profit on their investments, or will they end up losing money? Viewers will have to tune in to find out.
