The team restore a theatre chair, a whimsical time piece and a bronze locket.

Jay Blades and the team revive a theatre chair from Derby Hippodrome, restore a unique and whimsical time piece, and resurrect a cherished bronze locket.

Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.

Upholsterer Sonnaz Nooranvary revamps a family treasure with an intriguing history. This threadbare theatre chair once played host to thousands of theatre-goers and bingo players in the auditorium of the famous Derby Hippodrome. Bought by Jamie Woods’s parents, the chair has sat in a state of disrepair and was declared unsafe for Jamie to sit on.   Young Jamie coveted the chair for many years as it sat languishing in the family attic, and he has always been determined to see it brought back to life. But before Sonnaz can begin work on the upholstery, metalworker Dom must work his magic on the metal frame and remake the missing wooden armrest. 

Susan Scholes from Oldham brings in a fragile locket that needs the expert attention of silversmith Brenton West. The locket is over 100 years old and was given to Susan’s grandmother by her fiancé (Susan’s grandfather) before he set off for the trenches of the First World War.  She wore it throughout the war, with photos of the two sweethearts side by side within the locket. It is a cherished symbol of Susan’s grandparents love story and has huge emotional resonance for her.  

And Steve and Suzie Fletcher team up to work on a rare and fascinating timepiece brought in by Michael Mount and his granddaughter Maisie.  This ingenious inclined-plane clock was made from a 17th-century design. The drum of the clock inches down the leather-covered slanting shelf, powered by gravity, and not only tells the time but also the days of the week. Unfortunately, the clock hasn’t worked for year, and it turns out that Maisie holds the key to just why it stopped functioning.
