@Ultranothing Well, all the really valuable stuff are Chinese. How do you think Chinese people feel seeing that all the good stuff are stolen from their country?
@Justmyopinionlol They're probably consoled by the fact that we're indebted to them as a nation to the brink of virtual ownership.
But seriously (as if that weren't serious), what's with all the assumptions? You just blatantly accuse random people of stealing artifacts from ancient cultures as if you had any proof?
@Ultranothing I watched the majority of these shows and most of the highly valuable objects were imperial heirlooms or religious artifacts. People don't just give away those things and white people always claim an ancestor who received said objects from "expeditions". There aren't many "expensive" objects originated out of Europe. Sure, you got some fairly valuable appraisals but the superlatives always belong to a foreign culture (mostly East Asian) on auction.
@Justmyopinionlol "There aren't many 'expensive' objects originated out of Europe. Sure, you got some fairly valuable appraisals but the superlatives always belong to a foreign culture (mostly East Asian) on auction."
And that's just your laughable opinion, based upon nothing but what you've seen on YouTube or the television. The very notion that hardly anything of value originated anywhere but from East Asia is too bizarre for me to even believe it came from a working brain.
@Ultranothing I was referencing the expensive items from the antique roadshow. Obviously, if we talk about the world market, then there's highly prized items from just about anywhere. However, in today's market, Asian antiques command the highest prize since my people are buying back what you whites have stolen from us with pistols and the swords.
Yes, this table brought $541,000 ($495K plus buyers premium) purchased by the husband of the model with last name Seymour. I wonder if it will fetch half million the next time it is offered. That's because "fresh" to markets items bring in more money, but there are only two of these tables (a matched pair) known.
The matching mate of this exact table was already discovered in Maine decades ago. That one was known and shown in books by Albert Sack and Michael Flannigan. Sack had classified the mate as a 'Masterpiece' in his book.
Kenos' interesting book also has the whole story in detail. People specifically interested in Seymours' history and furniture should check out Robert Mussey's or Vernon Stoneman's books.
This is the kind of experts that you would like to look at your antique, likeable and give a lot of good info. I have seen some experts on the show who suck fucking dicks, these two are great.
@Ultranothing Why did you ask such a retarded question? Do you want to suck some dicks or something? Alright, I will answer you, the dicks are 35 inch albino dick.
My grandma has a table like that but it also fold out into a full circle. She just read an article saying her type is worth around 32k. Pretty damn cool :D
@fairalways And your belief is well-substantiated! It sold for just under $500k, according to one of those "where are they now" articles at PBS. Somewhere on the 'tube, there's a video of the auction.
I saw a follow up article in a magazine about this table, it eventually sold at auction for much higher than the appraised value. The fame it got from being on Antiques Roadshow made it worth even more. Apparently, the person she bought it from had kept it on the porch for years and it got all moldy. I wonder where it is today?
when she asked if they could put the price in writing for her, the guy should have said "Yeah. Here you go," proceeded to pick up the table and raise it over his head, and slam it to the ground, smashing it into a million pieces, laugh at it, and walk away.
@FreakyLoserJiruu I'm surprised that's never happened, since it's almost always an elderly person receiving the "good news." Or maybe it has happened and they've edited it out. :-O
@adlerbr12 'particle board' sounds allot more futuristic than 'wood' but sadly all my furniture is indeed wood :( It really doesn't look that special at all, only because its got a label on the underside its so rare and amazing but who cares about the label!? Theres so many things I would much rather spend that money on than that stupid table, in fact i wouldn't even buy it for a grand other than to sell it again. good point though, not that it made any sense ;)
This has been my fave piece of any I've seen on Antiques Roadshow. :) If you don't like antiques, WHY do you bother watching/posting to stuff like this? You are ignorant.
this old lady looks like the academy nominated actress who played Jared Leto's mum in Requiem For a dream, she speaks like her too, good for her, it was such a great investment, the experts seemed really cool too, what a great footage, it is like a disney movie.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
A ***** piece of constructed wood for $200-300k ha. Antique collectors are suckers. I just imagine them to be like some rich old childless wench, who has no idea the level of technological ability that exists today. Nobody in the right mind would drop such $ on stuff just bc it's old.
@hughtub Well, it's artwork, really. The medium, ***** wood (more likely top quality wood), created by famous colonial smiths, and immaculately preserved for over 150 years.
By your logic, the Mona Lisa is just old canvas and paint.
didn't she actually get $450k at an auction for this? I remember seeing this on TV and it kept cutting away to the auction that they sold this at. And it went flying past the $200k mark. It was cool to watch.
lmmfgdao! never laughed so hard in my entire life.... 4:14 ..... funniest part... she is completely fucking flabbergasted... when he tells her the total, she says, "Two hundred to two hundred and twenty-fi..... are you gonna write it down for me?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH... and teeheeman3's comment almost collapsed my lungs... 5 fucking stars son....
I AM! I AM!....no, its bad to be a great refinisher, you would have taken value off...OH THATS WHAT I THOUGHT!....im sure you did you annoying old bag...if i was him i would've just said the price and walked away.
I'd tell em sold right then and there, but lets be honest, I'd shoot anyone reading this for about one tenth what that tables worth. Hell, probably 1/20th.
I seem to recall that the roadshow did a follow up on this piece at auction, and it sold for something over $400,000.00 ... now I am looking to see if the video of the sale is on YouTube.
I don't find that plausible. She bought it at a garage sale 30 years ago and she's old. So what are the chances of the person who sold it still alive and better yet, seeing it on A.R.? Naw...
@vanhalen901 What´s the point of these ramblings? I see so many of the "Two women drove a car, they heard a cat scream and both died exactly one hour later." WTF?
Please look at my channel, and watch my video called PIG IRON antique, and give me some info,. on it, and what its worth, its is pretty wierd antique, thanks.
@Ultranothing It certainly is universal. My grandma wore her pants high like that when she was older and fragile and living. It's like, "when the pants are high, death is nigh"
@bushbuds Two years ago, I know - but I just heard someone answer this yesterday:
Apparently, the trend of wearing ones pants below the butt-cheeks started in prison, where the inmates would wear their pants low to let others they were "easily accessible," if you catch my drift?
I love how old grandmas go to garage sales, pick up antiques, and take them to this show, then find out they have a much better price, and get that priceless look on their faces =]
you know I have always been curious as to how Antique's Roadshow protects the people they put on air, especially those with high value items. I mean now everyone in the world knows this little weak old woman has this ridiculously expensive table and could easily be taken advantage of. What prevents people in the showroom, upon hearing the appraised value of the table, not wait out in the parking lot for the woman with a baseball bat?
@CourtyardPigeon "Tons and tons of security. They walk people to their cars for cases like this."
Or, in extreme cases, the auctioneers and appraisers will arrange storage for them, so it's basically out of their hands. Or, for those who CLAIM they don't want to sell their items, shipping and security is likely taken care of by the show.
I went in to work today and wasn't even on the schedule. Now I'm so bored I'm answering two-year-old comments.
Just wanted to let you know that we are making a documentary on the UK's collections with Norwich Union and are looking for participants. Just click on my channel - Angela Rippon and Michael Vaughn are already involved and talking about their collections.
Holy crap!! I remember when we had that nasty old table, I used to keep my matchbox cars in it and would remember it anywhere. What the hell! Im giving my mom a call tomorrow, cant believe she sold it for $25, it went through a flood and was being sold in the move which is why it got even more nasty. Whaaa I want my half million dollar table back, WTH!
Im sure it is unless it just happened to have an exact copy with all the same little bow knot and inlays etc. I always thought it was a lot of work making that table but I never knew it was valuable being so nasty and dirty. Also like I said it was in a flood and packed deep away, my by the time mom pulled it out you couldnt even recognize it. Like the lady said, it was literally black with mold and filth. I saw it before it got sold and I think we got $40 from insurance cited as card table.
I remember seeing an episode where they actually followed this piece to auction and I think it went for just under half a million. Do you happen to have that clip?
True, but this was about 20 years ago & that was the going rate then, based on my research before the sale. I wouldn't have gotten much more. Of course, nowadays those door knobs can be worth quite a bit more. (sigh) I should've kept it.
But when I'm tempted to feel sad about my loss, I just imagine how pleased the buyer was as he recounted his story to folks: "...and can you believe it? They were only asking a quarter for it!!" His happiness makes it all worthwhile in the end. :)
I once had an antique crystal & brass doorknob that I wanted to sell at our family's garage sale. I intended to ask $25 for it. While I was busy inside the house taking care of my grandmother, my cousin poked her head in the door from outside & said, "someone wants to know how much you want for the door knob", to which I replied, "twenty-five." My cousin sold the antique door knob for twenty-five... cents. :-( Oh well, it's still better than losing out on $200,000.
LoL! They might as well have been speaking chinese when they were explaining all the little details of the table... she was like 'ya ya, uh-huh- Ohh!' LOL.
Which furthers my point - she is a CRAZY old bat!!!! She is more whacked than the person who would but the crappy old table. crazy ol' bat she is! whacked...
OMG! EVERYONE'S WHITE!

I love how old grandmas go to garage sales, pick up antiques, and take them to this show, then find out they have a much better price, and get that priceless look on their faces =]

you know I have always been curious as to how Antique's Roadshow protects the people they put on air, especially those with high value items. I mean now everyone in the world knows this little weak old woman has this ridiculously expensive table and could easily be taken advantage of. What prevents people in the showroom, upon hearing the appraised value of the table, not wait out in the parking lot for the woman with a baseball bat?

Tons and tons of security. They walk people to their cars for cases like this.

@CourtyardPigeon "Tons and tons of security. They walk people to their cars for cases like this."
Or, in extreme cases, the auctioneers and appraisers will arrange storage for them, so it's basically out of their hands. Or, for those who CLAIM they don't want to sell their items, shipping and security is likely taken care of by the show.
I went in to work today and wasn't even on the schedule. Now I'm so bored I'm answering two-year-old comments.
Sorry 'bout that! :)

I'd assume for extreme cases such as these, the item leaves in a Brinks truck or equivalent.

Cheers!

Holy crap!! I remember when we had that nasty old table, I used to keep my matchbox cars in it and would remember it anywhere. What the hell! Im giving my mom a call tomorrow, cant believe she sold it for $25, it went through a flood and was being sold in the move which is why it got even more nasty. Whaaa I want my half million dollar table back, WTH!

I'm sure it's not the same table.
Ultranothing 3 years ago
Im sure it is unless it just happened to have an exact copy with all the same little bow knot and inlays etc. I always thought it was a lot of work making that table but I never knew it was valuable being so nasty and dirty. Also like I said it was in a flood and packed deep away, my by the time mom pulled it out you couldnt even recognize it. Like the lady said, it was literally black with mold and filth. I saw it before it got sold and I think we got $40 from insurance cited as card table.

I remember seeing an episode where they actually followed this piece to auction and I think it went for just under half a million. Do you happen to have that clip?

True, but this was about 20 years ago & that was the going rate then, based on my research before the sale. I wouldn't have gotten much more. Of course, nowadays those door knobs can be worth quite a bit more. (sigh) I should've kept it.
But when I'm tempted to feel sad about my loss, I just imagine how pleased the buyer was as he recounted his story to folks: "...and can you believe it? They were only asking a quarter for it!!" His happiness makes it all worthwhile in the end. :)

LOL Boy, you said it!
I once had an antique crystal & brass doorknob that I wanted to sell at our family's garage sale. I intended to ask $25 for it. While I was busy inside the house taking care of my grandmother, my cousin poked her head in the door from outside & said, "someone wants to know how much you want for the door knob", to which I replied, "twenty-five." My cousin sold the antique door knob for twenty-five... cents. :-( Oh well, it's still better than losing out on $200,000.
kareninflorida 3 years ago
LOL. I wonder how much it was worth, I hope it was $25, because if it was a lot more you could have sold it for more.

Pretty good showing for the money. rare to find the correct form WITH a label, and not "skinned". TG she only knew linseed oil
and turps. Original finishes of that period were done of shellac, or spirit varnish, which had turps as a base, everybody knows that.
Beeswax would have been the only polish known to maintain. no matter what.
thank GOD she did not know MR.HOMER FORMSBY,
and his Iddyilatic crew.
She did well to go with a light hand. BRAVA!
