Real Deal's antiquarian Simon Schneider has launched a free antique valuation service, in partnership with Attic Self Storage.
People can send in snaps of their stuff and the ITV star will chose a selection of them and value them, for free.

Recent research by Attic Self Storage has found that seven in ten Brits have an attic or loft in their homes. However, 18 per cent can’t remember what they’ve stored there.
While the loft might contain cardboard boxes or old mobile phones, there’s also a chance that people might have an antique or collectible gathering dust such as jewellery, art, rare books, or old paintings which could be worth a fortune – and might not even know it.
Sophie Bagnall, spokesperson at Attic Self Storage said: "We heard that somebody found a box of 122-year-old chocolate bars in their attic which sold for more than £400!
"We’re excited to find out what other hidden treasures we can find in people’s homes.”
The self-storage company is urging people to dig out their treasures for the antique expert, who has regularly appeared on ITV's Dickinson's Real Deal and Secret Dealers, to look at.
Simon said: “Knowing the value of your items is always good, whether you are keen to sell it, insure it or if you're simply curious.
"I can assess all types of items including ceramics, jewellery, books, paintings and vintage toys, so look under the bed, check out your attic and storage cupboards. I can’t wait to see what treasures Britons have tucked away at home!”
People can submit images and description of their item until November 1 at atticstorage.co.uk.
Simon will then choose a selection of valuables and value them for free.
