Buttons bought for £40 sell for £61,000!

Gary Quittenton-Shaw from Rowsley bought a box of buttons for £40 and went on to sell two of them for £61,000. They were designed by Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti for Italian fashion icon Elsa Schiaparelli in the 1930s. He's been telling BBC Radio Derbys Becky Measures all about his find.
