本集简介

Vladimir, his wife, Helen, and daughter, Lili, arrive with a family heirloom that they have recently inherited. They made an epic road trip across Europe to Serbia to collect the impressive wooden wall clock. Vlad's great-great-grandfather bought the clock in the early 1900s, and it has been passed down five generations of his family. Vlad's ancestors were affluent farmers living in what was then Yugoslavia. At the end of the Second World War, it became a communist nation, and his family were stripped of their land and wealth. They faced great hardship for many years, and this clock and its upkeep soon became a symbol of their determination and family values. Vlad is very proud of his heritage and is honoured to be the custodian of the clock. It was carefully dismantled and boxed in order to make the 4000 mile journey back to the UK, but as Vlad lifted it from the car in his driveway the box broke and carved wooden casing fell to the ground, breaking into pieces. Horologist Steve Fletcher comes to the rescue giving the mechanism the much needed kiss of life, while woodwork wonder Will Kirk gets to grips with the smashed casing.

Master Hatter Jayesh Vaghela takes receipt of a policeman's helmet that belonged to an inspector who was admired by all who met him but tragically died young, leaving a wife and six sons. Sons Richard and Peter have kept it safe for years until an unfortunate incident took place with the family dog who made a meal out of it! Much of the front peak has been chewed away and is misshapen. They would dearly like to have if repaired to display as a way of preserving their father's memory.

The final visitor to the barn is Claire, with a small stained-glass angel that was made for her by her much-missed mother, Margaret. Margaret loved learning new skills and hobbies and this angel has become one of Claire's most treasured possessions. It hung on her window for years watching over her until it was blown off by a breeze and shattered. Claire desperately needs expert Matt Nickel's help to piece it back together and has a special request as to how that might be done.

Episode 50

Art Conservator Lucia Scalisi is fascinated by an unusual religious artefact. It's a three-dimensional portrait depicting the three aspects of a Hindu God – Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Each Goddess is revealed when the portrait is viewed from different angles. It was made by owner Raj's grandfather over one hundred years ago for his daughter, Raj's mother, who was a devout Hindu. The portrait was displayed in her house shrine where she would sit for her daily prayers and reminds Raj of his much-missed mother. However, the sacred images are faded and masked by years of cobwebs and dust which have accumulated within the boxed frame. Lucia is impressed by the portrait's clever construction, as she meticulously cleans and repairs this unique piece of family history.

Next to arrive is Aisling with a broken silver locket that was a gift from her late grandparents. The locket has brought her much comfort, and she has worn it almost every day. She was devastated when the front side of the decorative casing detached and was lost without a trace. She would love to wear it again and replace the pictures of her dear grandparents inside. Goldsmith Richard Talman crafts a new front casing and hinge for the locket and enlists the help of talented engraver Sam Marsden to replicate the intricate lattice design.

Finally, optical expert Richard Biggs is eager to get to work on a pair of vintage binoculars. They were a gift from Erica's father, and together they would take them out birdwatching in rural Devon. These scuffed and dirty binoculars represent a childhood of adventure and a doting dad. Erica still remembers the excitement of spotting her first kingfisher on the Teign Estuary and her love for birds has never ceased. Her wish is to use them again in her with her grandchildren. Richard has a job getting the prisms out but is determined to return them to her in full working order.
