The Antiques Roadshow, a BBC One staple since 1979, has seen numerous items valued at staggering sums. Among the most expensive finds is a man-sized model of the Angel of the North by artist Antony Gormley, valued at £1 million. The model was brought to the show by John McElroy, whose father worked in the coal mine where the full-size statue now stands.
Another remarkable item was a gold, diamond and jade flower ornament by Fabergé, owned by the Countess of Dudley in 1904. Jewellery expert Geoffrey Munn described it as a 'towering masterpiece' and one of the rarest Fabergé pieces ever seen.
The FA Cup trophy, brought by former Leeds United manager Eddie Gray and Gabby Logan, was valued at over £1 million. Expert Alastair Dickenson noted it may have originally been a wine cooler, but it remains one of the most iconic trophies in British sport.
A Banksy piece titled 'Mobile Lovers' was valued at £403,000. The artwork appeared nailed to a plank near a Bristol youth club, sparking a dispute between the club and the local council over ownership.
