An Antiques Road Trip auctioneer took a chance on buying a painting by a Scottish artist after calling on his co-presenter for assistance.
On the penultimate leg of their journey on the BBC One show, Natasha Raskin Sharp and Philip Serrell continued their road trip in East Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway. On his first stop, Philip spotted a painting of two birds by Scottish artist Ralston Gudgeon, who is best known for his paintings of birds and animals.
Telling the seller he was going to "think about it", Philip picked up the phone to Natasha, who specialises in paintings. She said: "Are you looking at a painting that features ornithological subject matter? I'd have to see it properly, but it's probably worth £80 to £120. Maybe £70 to £90."
