Series 48: 12. Stephens House & Gardens 3

The roadshow pays a final visit in this series to Stephens House & Gardens in Finchley, north London. \n\nJoanna Hardy finds two precious rings hidden amongst costume jewellery, while Ben Wright weighs up the merits of two very different watches and ponders which to flog and which to wear. \n\nMark Smith spots some rare US uniform badges, collected by a Second World War dry cleaner, and Robert Tilney finds a letter written by Wellington, just hours before the battle of Waterloo. \n\nFiona finds out about a famous north London resident – early 20th-century illustrator and creator of whimsical cartoon machines Heath Robinson – in conversation with his great-nephew, Peter Higginson. \n \nThere are literary treasures too, from a set of Doctor Who books seen by Fuchsia Voremberg, to a rare and valuable collection of letters explored by Justin Croft, which shed new light on the lives of Winnie-the-Pooh author AA Milne and his son Christopher.\n\nGordon Foster covets a mid-century cabinet filled with tableware made by Danish silversmiths Georg Jensen, and Lee Young is delighted by a Chinese export cup and saucer. \n\nAnd there are unusual artworks, from an exquisitely carved walking stick seen by Ronnie Archer-Morgan, to intricate paintings by Pakistani artist Tassaduq Sohail, seen by Frances Christie. \n\nCeramics expert Serhat Ahmet challenges Fiona Bruce to test her skills in his speciality area – fine European porcelain. But when it comes to which is Basic, Better or Best in trompe l'oeil fruit, he might be withholding some crucial information!
