untilThe team restores four precious heirlooms, including ashattered ceramic poppy for a war veteran, which was createdfor the art installation at the Tower of London to commemoratethe centenary of WW1, and a 1950s hot towel machine passeddown a Cypriot family of barbers. Also on the job sheet is aportrait in pastels of a much-missed sister.The first arrivalis for ceramics conservator Kirsten Ramsay. Steph and herstepmother Alex are entrusting Kirsten with a shattered ceramicpoppy that reminds the women of a loved father and husband. Thered poppy was created for the momentous 2014 art installationat the Tower of London to commemorate the centenary of WW1.Each of the 888,246 poppies that filled the moat surroundingthe Tower represented the lost lives of British soldiers.Thousands of visitors went to gaze at the dramatic sight, andamong them were Steph and her late father, Pete. He wasextremely proud of his daughter who served in the RoyalArtillery, and he bought one of the poppies as a reminder oftheir day together. Tragically, Pete died of a rare blooddisease in 2017 and, just a few months after, Alex decided tomove it inside from her garden for safe keeping when it brokeinto pieces in her hands. Alex knows Pete would want hisdaughter to have it. That is, however, if Kirsten can pieceit back together.Barber Panos Adamou is the next to arrive,with a vintage tool of the trade for metal master Dom Chinea tospark back to life. The hot towel machine was bought in the1950s by Panos' Cypriot father, Peter. He settled in the UK,along with many other Commonwealth citizens, to work hard andachieve his ambitions. He trained to be a barber and opened asuccessful shop where this machine was installed to produce hottowels and water for the wet shaves. Panos and his brother bothfollowed in their father's footsteps and worked alongside himfor years, with the hot towel machine loyally steaming away.Eventually, in the 1980s, the machine gave up and wasbanished to the basement. The Adamou brothers lost their dadrecently, and Panos would love to get the machine back inservice at his own barber shop in Peter's memory. Dom has a lotof limescale to contend with, which has clogged up all thefixings and has caused it to spring several leaks. Time toshowcase his soldering skills.Next, it's horologist SteveFletcher's time to shine when Jasvinder comes to call with theclock that was her father, Darshan's, pride and joy. Hebought the distinctive wall clock in the 1960s. Thesetimepieces are known as 30 day clocks as they only need windingonce a month, a task that Darshan took very seriously.Jasvinder and her brother clearly remember its resonatingchime. It's a sound she dreams of hearing again, knowing itwill remind her of her father who she lost when she was justeight years old. Steve tackles the enormous main springs whichare gummed up with oil, and does his best to make Jasvinder'sdream come true.Lastly, sisters Tiffany and Sarah arrive witha precious reminder of their elder sister Tracy, who died asteenager. The sweet portrait of Tracy, done in pastels whenshe was 13 years old, is terribly stained, and they arebanking on paper conservator Louise Drover being able toimprove and preserve it. Louise uses various ingenious tricksof the trade to transform the picture and wow the sisters.
