The thrill of the hunt continues this Wednesday on BBC One’s “Antiques Road Trip.” Tahmina Ghaffar and David Harper are back on the road, scouring antique shops and markets for hidden treasures. In “The ‘Finial’ Countdown,” their competitive spirit is on full display, as both experts have an eye for decorative flourishes.
David puts his knowledge to the test, discussing the finer points of a Ching dynasty wedding basket and a Scandinavian lamp. Tahmina, on the other hand, embraces her playful side with a collection of vintage sporting games. The episode’s title gives a hint of what’s to come, as both experts seek out items topped with those decorative accents, finials. Who will find the most valuable pieces? And whose finials will bring the highest bids at auction? “Antiques Road Trip” airs Wednesday, March 5th at 4:30 PM on BBC One.
