As a nation we love nothing more than trawling for trinkets and treasures at the thousands of antiques fairs, markets and auction houses up and down the country.
As a result, the British antiques industry is worth 2 Billion pounds a year. But do we really know what we’re looking for and when we find it do we know what to pay for it?
Presented by interior designer Kathryn Rayward and antiques expert Mark Hill, Cracking Antiques takes all the pain and shame out of buying old, everything from furniture to light fittings, curtains to crockery.
Packed with tips and advice the series combines beautiful interiors with strands on investing and customising. Ending in a beautiful reveal the series will show that furnishing your home with antiques, design classics and unique vintage pieces can be far cheaper and much more fun than shopping on the High Street.
