Title: The £800 Chinese vase that sold for £53MILLION: How family heirloom dismissed by BBC antiques expert as a ‘clever reproduction’ fetched huge sum at auction after sitting in loft for 40 years
In a shocking turn of events, a Chinese vase once deemed to be a “clever reproduction” by a BBC antiques expert has gone on to fetch an astonishing £53 million at auction. The family heirloom, which had been languishing in a loft for four decades, was initially valued at a paltry £800.
The remarkable story begins with the original owner of the vase, who received it as a gift from a distant relative. Despite its supposed low value, the item remained a treasured possession within the family, sitting undisturbed in a loft for many years.
It wasn’t until a BBC antiques expert got their hands on it that the true significance of the vase became apparent. However, instead of revealing its actual worth, they dismissed it as nothing more than a clever reproduction.
Fast forward to today, and that same “clever reproduction” has sold at auction for a staggering £53 million.
