Fiona Bruce and the team visit Althorp in Northamptonshire, once the home of Princess Diana. Among the items under scrutiny are a valuable writing desk found in a coal shed, a sword that fought in the English Civil War, and an important painting that was found on a tip.
Nice to see Phillip and Fiona before fake or fortune with a rare Homer Winslow
The Homer Winslow painting has its own Fake or Fortune? episode.
What a shame that having rescued the Winslow Homer from a tip, and eventually putting it into a sale in the US (New York?) as advised, someone appeared, and the sale was stopped, as they claimed to be the rightful owners, saying it had been stolen from their family's house prior to it being found in a tip. It was all extremely questionable(theft not reported to police?) & if the family hadn't taken it to the Antiques Road Show, but done their own investigation, they would, justifiably in my view, have received the funds from a sale.
Heartbreaking and so very unfair. It was indisputably discarded.
Yes have seen that 🫣 Blakes👎🏻
Value is up to 250.000$
Still not sold today😳
Blakes should be Happy to get 25-30% themself - But those greedy Americans 🫣Want 70-75%… 🤢
Now in the vault of Christie’s 😵💫
Yes I would love to know what the end result was.

@@michaelripley4528 thank you.
I’m half way through and already thinking it’s the best episode ever. I love the letter to the Winnie The Pooh club. 💖
Hope the chap who owns the walnut cabinet is able to treat the woodworm on the base of this remarkable piece of surviving furniture!
I so loved him saying "god heavens" to the price and keep it completly together except for a littlelicking of the tongue over his inner lips - fabulous...
Beautiful and normal.

Lord Spencer's picture - the woman at the harpsichord was more scary to me than the spectral nanny. Nanny seemed to be on the verge of smiling. The girl had a thousand yard stare.
In the Fake show they never showed the other images thrown away with the Homer. I always thought the “owners” who reclaimed it were blatant liars but now I’m sure of it. Those pictures all ended up in the trash because the liars threw them out. No one would steal those other pictures. That man and his family were bullied into giving back items which were rightfully theirs. Shame on the wealthy family of liars. Horrible people.
The son just happened to be 'on holiday' in NYC the day of the auction...Vile behaviour from that family.
A certain phrase I remember from my childhood should have been used for this painting: “finders keepers, losers weepers” . Awful for the guy who found it.
Weird spooky stare from the guy in the yellow shirt behind on experts right.
I saw the story of the Winslow Homer painting on the Fake or Fortune program with Fiona and Philip...and some guy claimed it was his and the sale at the auction house was stopped, they lost the painting and any money they might have made from the sale..the people who claimed that it eas their painting could have at least given them a reward...but nope...seems like a miscarriage when a woman who could have used the money was denied it because a rich person said that it was his
Some story behind that watercolour.
Alltrup, Fiona.
Both versions acceptable, according to Lord Spencer.

“Althrup” is how I was always led to believe it is pronounced.
Any chance you've got Flog It Season 10 episode 35? Can't find it anywhere
Very strange for AR UK. Lord Spencer presented a purported gift of a Napoleon statue to his family. The evaluator devoted 95% of his assessment to the marble base but nearly nothing to the statuette itself. Markings? Age? Artist? Composition?
Could have put you cellphone flashlight in the Budgie bowl.
I was thinking exactly same thing
The infamous Homer painting...The way that the gentleman was treated was disgusting.
Dianna was outdoorsy?? She seemed anything but. She didnt participate in riding, fishing?, hunting, shooting
She loved skiing, boating, swimming. Very involved in sports at school.

You are right. I'd forgotten.
