Join the art worlds Treasure Finder General, fine art expert & TV personality David Freeman with Canadas' Doyen of Antiques & Collectibles, Maureen Wickham, as they journey across Canada on another incredible search for fantastic treasures that have laid hidden away in basements and attics for aeons.

Incredible Faberge - Chiparus - Rare Limoges, Tiffany, Galle, surpasses the best of the paintings!

PLUS: A Million Dollar painting surfaces in BURNABY BC

The British Roadshow attracted tens of thousands to malls in communities right across Canada earlier in the year and as you would expect, the events were massively oversubscribed.

Not surprising as REGINAS' SELL OUT ROADSHOW alone brings in nearly a MILLION in Treasures! With Ottawa, 1000 Islands and Oakville topping a whacking 2.4 million in just 2 weeks!

Watch for new Roadshow events scheduled across the Dominion for the spring 2007 and repeat shows in British Columbia, Ontario and the mid west
