Brooch ‘worth £1m’ shocks team on Antiques Roadshow
A BROOCH taken to the Antiques Roadshow may be worth £1million.
It is one of the most expensive items ever valued on the programme.
But BBC bosses will not reveal the true value of the Faberge item.
Executive producer Simon Shaw said: “We’ve had one of the most significant jewellery finds in 40 years of Antiques Roadshow history. But we don’t want to spoil the surprise.” The story will be revealed on the show in the autumn. Presenter Fiona Bruce was among the stars at the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley, West Midlands, yesterday. She said: “I’m excited that we’ve had such a good find.” Builder Dan Bansal, 50, from Hagley, Worcs, said expert Geoffrey Munn was stunned by the quality of his brooch. But Mr Bansal added: “I think he was reluctant to say £1million.”
