In this episode of Antiques Road Trip, two expert antique dealers set out from Gloucester on a journey to buy and sell valuable items across the country. In the first leg of their journey, they head to Oxfordshire where they meet with a dealer who specializes in antique textiles. Here, they get a chance to examine some rare and valuable pieces, including a beautiful embroidered tablecloth from the early 18th century and a Victorian-era quilt.

Next, the pair visit a local auction house where they hope to find some bargains. They are particularly interested in a Georgian silver tray and a Regency period tea caddy. But with other dealers in the room, they'll have to be strategic in their bidding if they want to come out on top.

After the auction, the two antique experts visit a magnificent stately home called Chavenage House, which has been in the same family for over 500 years. Here, they are given a personal tour by the current owner, who shows them some fascinating pieces from the home's extensive art collection. They also get a chance to examine some rare and valuable antique furniture, including a George II armchair and an exquisite Chippendale cabinet.

The dealers then head to their next stop on the journey – Somerset, where they visit a well-known antiques dealer who specializes in European ceramics. They discover some stunning ceramics, including an 18th-century German porcelain figurine and a rare Dutch tin-glazed dish from the 17th century. But their biggest find is an exquisite pair of Georgian vases, which they hope will bring them a healthy profit at auction.

In the final leg of their journey, the dealers visit an auction house in Devon, where they hope to sell some of their items for a profit. In a tense bidding war, they try to get the best prices for their items, including the Georgian vases and the Regency tea caddy. With the clock ticking down, they hope to come out on top and make a profit from their journey.
