The French Collection

Three Brits head to the ancient city of Arles, perched on the bank of the River Rhone in the south of France. Armed with 800 euros each and advice from collectables expert Mark Franks, they get 3 hours to buy at a roadside market. Back in the UK, they upcycle some of their purchases ready to sell on in Cambridge. Whoever makes the most, wins everyone’s profits. Clare turns wooden shoe lasts into tasteful table lamps, Debbie spruces up a collection of copper pans and Gary turns a large, rusty, metal vice into a cool industrial lamp.
