Cracking Antiques

Episode 1: Rebekah

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two ScotlandLatest broadcast: on BBC HD

New series which drags antiques from their pedestals, blows the dust off them and shows how they can be more affordable, stylish and better made than much of what the high street has to offer.

Whether you want to know how to make money from buying investment pieces, how to turn tat into treasure with some clever handiwork, or simply learn how to use antiques to create beautiful interiors that don't blow the bank balance, then this series is for you.

Rebekah Prince from Essex longs for an opulent French bedroom with the wow factor. This rococo style can cost thousands to buy new, so antiques expert Mark Hill and interior designer Kathryn Rayward help her achieve that dream by hunting out French antiques and vintage items to create a glamorous, lavishly appointed boudoir for a lot less money.

Plus find out where to put your cash in vintage glassware and stylish Ercol furniture and how to transform a shabby standard lamp. Show less
