Rare Brooch Valued at £50,000 on Antiques Roadshow

News summary

In a recent episode of Antiques Roadshow, a mother and daughter were astonished to learn the potential value of their ballerina brooch, which expert Joanna Hardy speculated could be a rare piece from the renowned French jewellers Van Cleef and Arpels, potentially worth tens of thousands of pounds. Hardy expressed her disbelief at the brooch's quality, made with turquoise, rubies, 18 carat gold, and diamonds, but noted the absence of a signature that would confirm its origin. Following the appraisal, she consulted with a Parisian archivist and confirmed that the brooch indeed held significant historical value. In another segment, a couple was stunned by the worth of a letter written by a young Abraham Lincoln, valued between $75,000 and $125,000, which provided insight into his early political passions. Meanwhile, expert Izzie Balmer made a surprising profit from a damaged pottery piece that she initially doubted would be valuable. These segments highlight the captivating stories and unexpected values discovered on the BBC's Antiques Roadshow.
