Chinese Jade Bought For Under $100 Stuns Owners With Five Figures Valuation - Antiques Roadshow UK.

All valuations were correct at the time of broadcast. Asian art specialist John Axford examines a group of finely carved Chinese jade sleeve pieces bought in Singapore in the 1970s for under $100 each. Dating from the reign of the Qianlong Emperor, the carvings carry rich symbolic meanings linked to longevity and scholarship in Chinese mythology. But what surprising total valuation do they achieve? Filmed at Bowood House & Gardens in Wiltshire in 2016.
