Wrest Park 2
At Wrest Park in Bedfordshire, treasures include a piece of Murano glass inspired by Picasso and a collection of 1950s advertising posters.
Wrest Park in Bedfordshire is the setting for today’s roadshow, where treasures include a piece of Murano glass inspired by Picasso and a
collection of 1950s advertising posters for Vauxhall cars.
As usual, the day produces and eclectic mix of objects. Expert Ronnie Archer-Morgan challenges the audience to guess the origins of three
pieces of ornate tribal jewellery, while the vicar turns up with a handsome silver flagon presented to the local church in 1684. And militaria specialist Mark Smith can’t believe his eyes when one visitor brings along a set of original blueprints for the bouncing bomb depicted in the film The Dam Busters.
