Season 12, Episode 10

Expert Chris Shaw meets Farah who brings in her family's Qur'an. Having been made in Kashmir in around 1910, its 600 pages were handwritten from memory but the book is starting to show its age with torn pages and misshaped binding. Harry and Belinda visit metal worker Dominic Chinea with their dented two-wheel scooter that was gifted to Belinda 61-years-ago. The pair are hoping the toy can be repaired and revamped so their two great grandchildren can continue playing with the scooter for years to come. Art Conservator Lucia Scalisi is delighted to unwrap a topographical painting of Marsala brought in by Gaspare who inherited the artwork from his grandfather Vito who passed away in 2020. Cracked, painted over and way past its prime, Lucia works hard to uncover and restore the hidden gem. Finally, Richard and his daughter Nicky bring in a diamond ring containing the ashes of her late mother, Julie. Having been squashed and fractured when her hand got stuck moving a table, Nicky and her father are hoping goldsmith Richard Talman can restore it for them
