Antique Roadshow fans were left stunned at this week's episode filmed in Glasgow as one guest brought a mirror to the BBC show with a lot of Scottish history that was worth 'a lot more' than anticipated.
Sunday's episode of the Antique's Roadshow left viewers and guests at the event stunned when an item with a lot of Scottish history was valued and found to be worth "a lot more" than anticipated. The recent instalment of the popular BBC show was filmed at Glasgow's Pollok Park and it featured a mirror worth more than a bob or two, thanks to its links to the city's prestigious art school.
Will explained that the mirror was created at the Glasgow School of Art circa 1929, adding that it was quite late for such a design. The guest confirmed the mirror originally belonged to her mother-in-law but it had been handed down to her. The guest then explained: "The bride was my mother-in-law and it was her aunt Charlotte who commissioned the mirror from Marion Wilson."
On the valuation, Mark said: "This has huge family significance but there still comes a value I think worthwhile you should know. The market is ever-growing, I think it's a wonderful mirror with a history and a connection with you and your family and a whole story there. In the current market you are looking at within the region of three to five thousand pounds."
