“Now this has got this little chip so I’m going to have to reduce the value of this down,” the expert said, while still noting that the the item was still of “exceptional” quality.
“I wish it was mine,” the Antiques Roadshow guest remarked.
“I know,” Henry replied, before questioning: “Should I let you know how much I think it’s worth?”
The guest urged: “Go on, go on,” as the expert shared how much the damaged piece could fetch at auction.
