An Antiques Roadshow guest was left stunned as their heirloom was given a record-breaking valuation.
Antique expert Geoffrey Minn appeared on an episode of the BBC One show to give his verdict on a stunning item brought in by a member of the public. It was a Faberge sculpture of a pear blossom and belonged to the Worcestershire army regiment.
Explaining about it, the guest said: "It was formed in 1794 to protect the shores against a Napoleonic invasion. It was agreed that the regiment should serve only within the United Kingdom. However, in 1899 when the Boer War was going badly, it was decided that some of [the regiment] as volunteers would be mobilised.
