Series 2: 13. Finding Hidden Jewellery

In Surrey, Alison wants to downsize a lifetime of clutter that has filled the family home and garage. She hopes that by selling heirlooms and treasures she will be able to take her two grown-up children on a holiday of a lifetime before they each go their separate ways - a trip that is thoroughly deserved after a turbulent few years for the family. Her 20-year-old daughter Leah was diagnosed with heart failure after a short illness, and she was unable to complete her university studies. Now recovered, she is determined to help her mum to cash in with a clear-out. \n\nAuctioneer Christina Trevanion finds a set of very collectable Welsh porcelain in one cabinet, and hidden away in a cupboard, a box filled with jewellery that was inherited from relatives. She also uncovers an Italian painting that, with further research, could make a small fortune at auction.\n \nRobin Johnson uses his years of restoration knowledge to repair a Victorian table and a stool that is a health and safety nightmare. A discovery of 150-year-old Glaswegian engineering gets Robin very excited as he sets about preparing it for sale. \n\nHowever, some medals from the Great War are the most emotional find, in a box with letters home from the front line. Could they have been won by Alison’s long-forgotten relative? If so, with her dream holiday on the line, is Alison prepared to sell to a collector?
