Antiques Roadshow guest told she got 'lucky' after £25 charity shop purchase

One woman said she was 'astonished' after finding out a painting she spent £25 on was worth a small fortune.

Appearing on BBC's Antiques Roadshow on an episode that aired Sunday, July 2, the guest appeared alongside others who shared their stories behind a wide range of special and unique items, including a 300-year-old love token. One woman though showed up with an oil painting which she bought from a charity shop for £25, Wales Online reports.

Introducing the piece of art, Grant Ford explained: "He is such an immediate, fluid, colourful painting, I'd love to be able to paint just like this. It really is a confident, colourist painting, now, it's an oil on canvas and it's clearly signed lower right, Cunningham."
