ANTIQUES lovers at an auction last week were caught on camera during a recording of the television series Antiques Road Trip.
The BBC Two crew were at Bainbridge’s Auction House, in Ickenham Road, Ruislip, on Thursday last week as antiques experts Will Axon and Mark Stacey battled it out to make the most profit.
Auctioneer Peter Bainbridge sold a collection of antique oil paintings collected from the clearance of a Kensington flat during the general sale of antiques and collectables.
As the cameras rolled, he also auctioned off the items that Messrs Axon and Stacey had bought while rummaging in shops in Enfield.
The programme follows pairs of antiques experts as take a road trip around part of the UK in a classic car searching for treasures and competing to make the most money at by selling them at auction.
Bainbridge’s achieved national prominence in 2010, when a Chinese Qianlong Dynasty porcelain vase went under the hammer for £43million.
The footage recorded at Bainbridge’s is for the next series of Antiques Road Trip, which is due to be broadcast in the autumn.
