BBC One’s “The Bidding Room” returns this Tuesday with another collection of unique items hoping to find new homes. From antique treasures to curious collectibles, each seller enters the bidding room with high hopes and a story to tell. Expert Simon Bower is on hand as always, with historical context and estimations of value, while the dealers, ever on the hunt for a good deal, size up the competition.
This episode features an eclectic mix of items, including a meditation mat handwoven by Tibetan monks, presented by Deborah. Will its unique origin story attract a high bid? Susan brings a giant wooden pestle and mortar to the room, hoping for a price that reflects its size and craftsmanship. And Angela enters with a decorative mirrored sideboard made by James Lamb, though its worth has waned. Finally Gerry presents stick pins he found diving in the River Ouse, will their history add to their value?
“The Bidding Room” airs Tuesday at 3:45 PM BST on BBC One.
