Series 27: 23. Bronze Dog and Metal Welly

Road Trip regulars Catherine Southon and Phil Serrell are revved up as they motor through sunny Surrey. They’re ready to do friendly battle at auction. Whoever clinches the most saleroom victories wins this road trip.\n\nBut first, they need to buy the lots that will go under the gavel. Catherine is drawn magpie-like to two beautiful jewellery pieces in Basingstoke - a highly coveted Georg Jensen pendant, plus a romantic, capstan-shaped locket. She also scoops up a hand-turned Czech vase in Farnham, as well as giving it some welly - one made of metal - in Eversley.\n \nPhillip falls for a cold-painted bronze dog and snaps up two garden ornaments in the form of a French planter and a clay rhubarb forcer. An art deco lampshade lights up his day in Hampshire, and he says cheers to a deal for a 19th-century silver electroplated tankard.\n\nOur intrepid explorers enjoy all the fun - and a few frights - at the fair when they lend a hand at a museum that’s home to steam-powered Victorian fairground rides and what’s believed to be the world’s oldest haunted house. Spooky!\n \nAnd we have an auction to attend. With the scores finely balanced, which expert will pull ahead?
