Series 6: 18. Wedding Dress, Lathe Lamp, Knife Polisher

Nigel Havers welcomes five more sellers to the Bidding Room, where they try to sell items to professional dealers who are on the lookout for interesting pieces, with help from expert Simon Bower.\n\nFirst hoping for cause to celebrate is retro fashion lover Eleanor. The 1940s wedding dress she’s presenting to the dealers was worn by her aunt, who found it in a charity shop in the 80s. Will any of the dealers commit to giving the dress another new start?\n\nLocal to Edinburgh HQ are Daryll and Amy, with a shiny find that’s not seen the light of day for years. The silver dressing table set was buried in the loft of their new home. Although they have become attached to the set since discovering it, they fear it might get damaged. They're hoping one of the dealers will take it into their care – for the right money. \n\nThird in and returning to the room is Behzad, with a limited-edition piece of tech. The Italian 1970s radio is part of designer Behzad’s collection, but he’s chosen to sell this one to raise some money for charity. \n\nNext through the doors is Steve, with a repurposed relic being seen in a new light. The 18th-century woodturner’s lathe was found in France and has since been revamped into a lighting feature. \n\nFinally, it’s Peta, with an auction find that’s been taking up cupboard space in her home for more than 30 years. The 1930s knife polisher comes with a brand name once favoured by Queen Victoria, but will the dealers cut to the quick to raise a sparkling profit for Peta on her 75p purchase?\n\nThe dealers today are Ian, Melissa, Sam, Jo and James.\n\n
