*All valuations were correct at the time of broadcast.* With a documented family history stretching back more than 250 years, this extraordinary silk embroidered casket is far more than a beautiful object. Once used to store jewellery, letters and personal items, its remarkably vivid colours and exceptional condition have survived thanks to generations of careful ownership. But just how rare is this 17th-century treasure? Filmed at Marlborough in Wiltshire in 1997.
