Jay Blades and the team restore a Victorian iron rocking chair, a mechanical musical bear ornament and the battered and burned leather collar of an alpine cowbell.
Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.
Upholster Sonnaz Nooranvary and metal expert Dominic Chinea forces to revive a Victorian iron rocking chair that has given great comfort to a family for generations. Current custodian Katie looked after her ailing father in the chair, and since he ed away it means more to her than ever.
Mechanically minded David Burville takes on the fix of a quirky mechanical bear ornament that is meant to move its head in time to music. Seized up and looking rather sorry for itself, it reminds owner Rose of her late mother, who bought it after taking out a home improvements loan from the bank. While David tackles the automaton, Julie Tatchell and Amanda Middleditch give the bear the brush up he so desperately needs.
And leather expert Suzie Fletcher takes receipt of a broken and burned leather collar attached to an alpine cowbell, gifted to owner Maureen by a very special lifelong friend.
