Synopsis:
Country House Auction is a 4 x 60' series that gives the viewer a chance to share in the suspense and excitement of a live auction, with an exploration of the social history, cultural significance and master craftsmanship of some rare and beautiful artefacts.
Each episode of Country House Auction will follow a selection of unique and one-of-a-kind items as they are brought to auction from stately home clearances, castles or private collections. Each week we follow the journey of incredible items with stories to share as past owners and prospective rival buyers share why the objects are so important to them, while antiques experts will offer their view on the value and significance of an item.
Staged in a real village setting with its own country house, its owners and auctioneers, Country House Auction will open its doors to the wonderful world of antiques buying and selling. From canny collectors, experienced experts and a host of old-skilled artisans, this series presents an indulgent mix of history, cultural insight, rich restoration and commercial know-how, in a timeless setting that celebrates the lives of and love for antique treasures, rare and unique.
