One couple were left in shock when given an eye-watering valuation for their family heirlooms during a classic episode of Antiques Roadshow – but they refused to sell them.<\/p>\n
The items included a set of Chinese Jade lovebird, a kidney-shaped item, and a bracelet.<\/p>\n
The combined total of the stunning items amounted to \u00a360,000 but the guests revealed they had no intention of selling them.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the items, expert Lars Tharp said: “Now this is slightly different, the colour scheme here, this black brown band.<\/p>\n
