House Gift ITV1

A couple of months ago Laurence Llewelyn Bowen came into
Quiggins AttiQue to film "House Gift" for ITV 1
It went out on TV last friday...........
House Gift on ITV1 sees three interior design experts descend on an ordinary home and compete to find a House Gift which will win a permanent place in the heart of the household. But there is a twist – each expert is armed with a different budget as they head off in search of the perfect House Gift: £1000, £500 or £200. They are followed as they hunt down hidden gems – everywhere from antiques markets, to the UK’s best known high street stores. From auction houses to charity shops – and salvage yards to designer boutiques… They might choose a reproduction mirror, an antique sideboard, or a contemporary leather sofa. It might be a modern Italian chair, a huge piece of art or a delicate china figurine. Whatever it is, it must compliment the home and appeal to the homeowners. At the end of the day, the homeowners must pick which House Gift they want to keep. Will the £200 gift triumph over the £1,000 gift?The experts are: Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen , Danielle Proud, interior designer and weekly columnist for Sunday Times Style Magazine & antique dealer Tom Keane .
As Luck would have it Laurence had the biggest budget and chose to spend the full £1000.00 in Quiggins Attique, 
He chose this Beautiful Mirror & an original Art Deco Chandelier
And to put the icing on the cake, the homeowners had wonderful taste,& chose Laurence's gifts purchased at:
QUIGGINS ATTIQUE
