Antiques Road Trip star in disbelief as £1 item earns 'outstanding' profit During a memorable episode of BBC's Antiques Road Trip from 2017, experts Paul Laidlaw and Christina Trevanion were on the hunt for profitable antiques to take to auction.
Upon closer examination, Paul admired the craftsmanship of the item, praising its knopped stem and folded foot the dish sat on, reports the Express.
Paul was immediately drawn to an item upon entering the shop, declaring to viewers "How far am I from the door?
He quickly justified his swift choice by pointing out the item's age and surprisingly low price; it was a 1700s sweetmeat dish, which could also be repurposed as a cake stand, with a cost of just £1.
As the auctioneer noted increasing internet interest and the bids surpassed £200, Paul's disbelief was palpable while Christina offered applause for his purchase.
