AN Antiques Roadshow guest was left stunned after learning the actual valuation of their old \u00a325 junk shop item.<\/p>\n
Antiques expert Hilary Kay revealed that the trunk given to the man by his mother-in-law could be worth a fair amount.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
On Sunday evening's episode of Antiques Roadshow, a guest handed in an old designer suitcase he found at his wife's mother's house, which she had purchased for \u00a325 at a junk shop in the 80s.<\/p>\n
Seeking to find out how much it was worth, the man came on the BBC show and was enlightened by Hilary about the hidden treasure.<\/p>\n
He was shocked to discover that the \u00a325 trunk was actually a vintage piece of Louis Vuitton luggage estimated at five to seven thousand pounds.<\/p>\n
The man explained: "I came by this by chance! I went down to see my mother-in-law to help her do some DIY, and I asked her where her tools were, and she said they were in a shed in a box.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"I walked into her shed, saw this, opened it, found all the tools, went back, did the DIY and said: 'By the way, I think you've got something quite special in the shed!'<\/p>\n
"And so she said: 'Well, if you want it, you can have it but never sell it!'"<\/p>\n
Hilary studied the Louis Vuitton luggage and gave the guest all the essential details he needed to know about it, including that it was from just before 1896.<\/p>\n
After the host revealed that with the right buyer, it could go for anything between \u00a35,000 to \u00a37,500, the guest exclaimed: "Wow!"<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n When asked what he planned to do with the item, the guest expressed: "I have two daughters here with me who made me bring it today…<\/p>\n "I think they've got their eyes on it! How they'll split it? I don't know!"<\/p>\n Antiques Roadshow is available to watch on BBC iPlayer and continues on Sunday at 8pm on BBC1.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/picture>BUNNY’S GRIEF <\/span><\/p>\n
