Series 7: 6. Balinese Painting, Pashley Bike, Church Font

Young Benjamin’s got an eye for a bargain, Kevin’s hoping the dealers deliver on his Pashley bike, and will font-of-all-knowledge Peter sell off an intriguing family heirloom?\n\nMaking a beeline for the bidders today is Benjamin from Leeds. He’s brought a Balinese Ubud painting picked up in a local charity shop. Will his exotic artwork prove a lucky find?\n\nGloria has come all the way from Forfar to sell her dumb valet. One of the dealers will surely be tempted – if not to sell on, just to keep their many glamorous outfits in ready-to-wear condition. \n\nWho will purchase Peter’s prize-winning miniature church font, designed many years ago by a family member? It’s perfect for the man or woman about town who wants their own ecclesiastical antique but can’t quite fit the full-sized thing in at home. This bijou bargain, on the other hand, would even fit in Ian’s caravan.\n\nWheeler-dealer Kevin rolls in next, with his iconic Pashley delivery bike. It once belonged to famous listings magazine Time Out, but given his high reserve price, Kevin is in danger of having to cycle it straight back to London. \n\nLast before we shut up shop for another day is Jessica from Newcastle, with her trusty steed – a Dala horse. Originally a children’s toy, in the 1930s these carved and colourfully painted trinkets gained popularity as souvenirs and are now sought-after, mid-century collectibles.
