An Antiques Roadshow expert has issued a warning to a guest after valuing a clock worth thousands.<\/p>\n
Expert Richard Price was seen examining a carriage clock in an episode but warned the guest that he would not get the \u00a34,000 valuation price unless the clock was serviced.<\/p>\n
He said: “You’ve got to think of it like your car, you know you wouldn’t leap into your car after 10 years without having it serviced and expect to get to Scotland and back.<\/p>\n
“It’s not going to happen, same with this, it needs a little TLC.”<\/p>\n
When Richard began valuing the carriage clock, he asked the gentleman if he had the original travelling case with it, but unfortunately, he did not.<\/p>\n

That is nice,” the antique owner expressed and made sure to tell Richard, “We’ll get it serviced.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
