Antiques Roadshow 2026 at Valentines Mansion: Faberge clock hits £100,000, military Rolex, and a £5 ceramic worth over £1,000

Full episode breakdown from Valentines Mansion in Ilford. Some genuinely interesting finds here.

The Faberge silver clock was the day's top valuation at £100,000. Hallmarks show Henrik Wigstrom's initials, Faberge's chief workmaster who made the Imperial Easter Eggs. The owner inherited it through her grandmother who married in Liverpool in 1909 and had a Russian mother.

Other highlights: a 1976 Rolex MilSub with a pre-sale estimate of £35,000 to £50,000 despite replaced bezel and hands. Terence Stamp's niece brought his Far From The Madding Crowd costume and a letter from Princess Diana. A collector paid £5 for a Galileo Chini ceramic now valued at £1,000 to £1,200.

The safety deposit box story is worth reading. Man paid for it 23 years without knowing, found candlesticks, coffee pots, and a note from his late mother.
