My son and I go to auctions
and estate sales

00:55.066 --> 00:56.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
looking for junk.

00:56.500 --> 00:57.866 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
It was a rainy morning,

00:57.866 --> 01:01.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and there were box slats out
on the grass of this auction.

01:01.733 --> 01:04.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And, uh, nobody wanted
to get their feet wet.

01:04.366 --> 01:07.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
We really didn't look
in the box, you know,

01:07.433 --> 01:10.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and, you know, the frame
looked really nice,

01:10.000 --> 01:13.500 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
so we ended up
getting the box for $45.

01:13.500 --> 01:15.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Now, the box was
in the garage

01:15.400 --> 01:18.300 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
drying out
for a couple of days.
Wow.

01:18.300 --> 01:21.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%

brought the box in.

01:21.700 --> 01:24.866 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%

01:26.300 --> 01:28.700 align:left position:47.5% line:89% size:42.5%
This is exciting.

01:28.700 --> 01:30.233 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
It's a really beautiful example.

01:30.233 --> 01:31.366 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
You've seen the signature,

01:31.366 --> 01:33.133 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
you know the artist,
Benny Andrews.

01:33.133 --> 01:35.900 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
Benny Andrews is
a favorite artist of mine,

01:35.900 --> 01:40.066 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
an African-American artist
who did incredible work.

01:40.066 --> 01:42.766 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
He's an expressive
figurative artist

01:42.766 --> 01:44.800 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
working in the 1950s

01:44.800 --> 01:46.766 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
until his passing
in 2006.

01:46.766 --> 01:48.566 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
He was born in 1930.

01:48.566 --> 01:50.533 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
And what's striking
about this painting

01:50.533 --> 01:54.366 align:left position:55% line:83% size:35%
is its beauty,
its interest in nature,

01:54.366 --> 01:57.333 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
the yellow dress,
the colors.

01:57.333 --> 01:59.366 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
He's known primarily
as a New York artist,

01:59.366 --> 02:01.000 align:left position:52.5% line:83% size:37.5%
but he was born
in Georgia.

02:01.000 --> 02:02.966 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
A lot of his artwork
that people know

02:02.966 --> 02:06.066 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
are images of the South
from his childhood.

02:06.066 --> 02:08.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
He was a very enterprising,
talented young artist.

02:08.933 --> 02:12.100 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
He studied at the Art Institute
of Chicago in the 1950s,

02:12.100 --> 02:14.900 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
and moved to New York
in 1958.

02:14.900 --> 02:16.533 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
And he was picked up
by a gallery

02:16.533 --> 02:19.966 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and had his first solo show
in New York in 1962.

02:19.966 --> 02:21.133 align:left position:55% line:83% size:35%
Looks like oil
with tempera.

02:21.133 --> 02:22.800 align:left position:70% line:83% size:20%
It's got
a wonderful pattern.

02:22.800 --> 02:24.133 align:left position:52.5% line:83% size:37.5%
It doesn't have
his collage,

02:24.133 --> 02:27.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
which he's really known for
in the late '60s,

02:27.033 --> 02:29.500 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
but it's got a lot
going for it:

02:29.500 --> 02:33.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
the size, the early interest
in color, the pattern.

02:33.666 --> 02:36.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
And probably another image
from his childhood.

02:36.100 --> 02:37.700 align:left position:60% line:83% size:30%
We don't see
many Benny Andrews

02:37.700 --> 02:40.233 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
from the early '60s,

02:40.233 --> 02:41.933 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and most of those
are works on paper.

02:41.933 --> 02:44.466 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
So this is a work on board,
and it's a painting.

02:44.466 --> 02:46.366 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
This is a beautiful image.

02:46.366 --> 02:48.300 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Of course, the woman in
the yellow dress is,

02:48.300 --> 02:50.700 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
is a zinger-- it's, really
draws your eye in.

02:50.700 --> 02:51.966 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%

02:51.966 --> 02:53.166 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%

02:53.166 --> 02:55.166 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
but those that have
have done well.

02:55.166 --> 02:56.900 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%

of what it might be worth?

02:56.900 --> 03:00.133 align:left position:17.5% line:77% size:72.5%
Well, my son's salivating.
(chuckles)

03:00.133 --> 03:02.666 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Online, asked about it,

03:02.666 --> 03:05.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
so I go, "I don't know,
let's find out."

03:05.133 --> 03:07.700 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%

conservatively,

Mm-hmm.

03:47.933 --> 03:50.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%

03:50.000 --> 03:52.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%

Isaac Van Horn

in Nebraska as a grocer

04:04.600 --> 04:07.066 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
before moving to Boston
after he made his money.
Uh-huh.

04:07.066 --> 04:08.433 align:left position:57.5% line:83% size:32.5%
And he became
an investment banker.

04:08.433 --> 04:09.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Oh.
And he invested

04:09.900 --> 04:14.133 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
in the Laramie, Hahns Peak,
and Pacific Railroad...
Huh.

04:14.133 --> 04:16.933 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
That was built in Centennial,
Wyoming, in 1907.

04:16.933 --> 04:18.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%

04:18.066 --> 04:20.100 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%

wonderful combination

Yup.

04:21.533 --> 04:23.500 align:left position:57.5% line:83% size:32.5%
And then this
wonderful trophy cup.

04:23.500 --> 04:25.266 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
So it was a gift
basically from his investors.

04:25.266 --> 04:26.400 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Yup.

04:26.400 --> 04:27.633 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
Because he'd invested
in this railroad.

04:27.633 --> 04:30.600 align:left position:22.5% line:71% size:67.5%
Oh.
And it's actually made
by Gorham,

Right.

clean it up,

04:44.800 --> 04:45.833 align:left position:60% line:83% size:30%
maybe get it
professionally polished.

04:45.833 --> 04:47.500 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
I think once you had it
cleaned up,

04:47.500 --> 04:49.000 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
I'd expect it to sell
for somewhere

04:49.000 --> 04:51.166 align:left position:55% line:83% size:35%

$6,000.
$6,000.

05:42.700 --> 05:44.433 align:left position:45% line:77% size:45%
Yes.
So, in 1982,

05:44.433 --> 05:47.733 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
this table would have probably
retailed for more than that.

05:47.733 --> 05:50.766 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
They probably actually got
a good price at $6,000,

05:50.766 --> 05:51.533 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
believe it or not.

05:51.533 --> 05:53.133 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
Yeah, she did mention

05:53.133 --> 05:54.900 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
that because she didn't use
a designer,

05:54.900 --> 05:56.133 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
that they took $4,000

05:56.133 --> 05:57.866 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
off the price of the table

05:57.866 --> 05:59.533 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
because she purchased it
directly.

05:59.533 --> 06:00.733 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Right.

06:00.733 --> 06:02.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
In the '80s,
this company had already

06:02.533 --> 06:05.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
been producing these tables
for about 15 or 20 years.

06:05.133 --> 06:07.366 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
So in 1982,
it was probably brand-new.

06:07.366 --> 06:11.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
My information says that
these were about $10,000 retail

06:11.733 --> 06:13.033 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
at that time.

06:13.033 --> 06:14.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
By the mid-1980s,

06:14.800 --> 06:18.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the design team
of Philip and Kelvin LaVerne--

06:18.066 --> 06:20.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
a father-and-son team
in New York--

06:20.633 --> 06:22.500 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
were very well-known.

06:22.500 --> 06:25.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
They were highly prized works

06:25.633 --> 06:27.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that were sold
through decorators,

06:27.333 --> 06:30.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
through high-end design shops,
and, of course,

06:30.700 --> 06:32.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
you can buy them directly
from the LaVernes

06:32.866 --> 06:34.566 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
if you knew somebody.

06:34.566 --> 06:36.200 align:left position:35% line:71% size:55%
(chuckling):
Right.
It's made out of bronze

06:36.200 --> 06:39.366 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
with a proprietary process
that Philip and Kelvin LaVerne

06:39.366 --> 06:41.066 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
were able to make

06:41.066 --> 06:44.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
by etching
these bronze plates

06:44.866 --> 06:46.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
and attaching them

06:46.633 --> 06:48.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
to a substructure.

06:48.100 --> 06:50.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
In this case,
to a scroll shape,

06:50.466 --> 06:53.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
but the same pattern here,
called the marriage whirl,

06:53.466 --> 06:57.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
would've been used
on consoles, end tables,

06:57.100 --> 06:59.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
various other
types of furniture.

06:59.533 --> 07:02.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
The LaVernes took their objects

07:02.900 --> 07:06.333 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and would actually bury them
in a proprietary mix of soil

07:06.333 --> 07:08.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
to give it a patina.

07:08.066 --> 07:09.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Your example is

07:09.900 --> 07:11.266 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
in really beautiful condition.

07:11.266 --> 07:12.666 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
There's no heavy scratches,
dents.

07:12.666 --> 07:17.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I think that if this came up
in a well-publicized auction,

07:17.366 --> 07:20.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
it would probably sell for
between $15,000 and $20,000.

07:22.233 --> 07:24.266 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Well, that's...
that's really good.

07:24.266 --> 07:25.300 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%

07:25.300 --> 07:26.800 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%

07:27.800 --> 07:30.800 align:left position:65% line:5% size:25%

Yeah.

07:37.466 --> 07:39.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
fantastic filigree work

07:39.733 --> 07:41.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
stones were simulated.

07:41.166 --> 07:43.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I would appraise these
retail

07:43.066 --> 07:46.000 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
at about $750 each.
Oh, okay.

07:46.000 --> 07:47.633 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
They are wonderful.
Great.

07:47.633 --> 07:50.200 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
I did find quite a few plaques
similar to this--

07:50.200 --> 07:53.733 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
but not exactly like it,
but similar in size...
Uh-huh.

07:53.733 --> 07:55.533 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
And of course,
the same subject.

07:55.533 --> 07:56.766 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
And they all seem
to be selling

07:56.766 --> 07:58.400 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
for around $150 to $250.

07:58.400 --> 07:59.566 align:left position:55% line:89% size:35%
Oh, okay, wow.

07:59.566 --> 08:01.166 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
I don't know
that you'll ever figure out

08:01.166 --> 08:02.333 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
who the artist is,
though.

08:02.333 --> 08:04.133 align:left position:72.5% line:71% size:17.5%

most impressive features

"sweetheart" staircase,

08:10.266 --> 08:15.000 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
limestone stairs with
a grand heart-shaped opening.

08:15.000 --> 08:16.466 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Well, the history
of the family goes,

08:16.466 --> 08:19.133 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
it came down through
my great-great-uncle,

08:19.133 --> 08:21.066 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and my, it was passed on to me
from my grandfather.

08:21.066 --> 08:24.500 align:left position:50% line:5% size:40%
This is actually
a Zulu dance spear,

08:24.500 --> 08:27.066 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
and there're some elements
that are really cool.

08:27.066 --> 08:29.266 align:left position:45% line:5% size:45%
This is horn here,

08:29.266 --> 08:32.033 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
and these little dots
are actually bone.

08:32.033 --> 08:34.166 align:left position:47.5% line:5% size:42.5%
Down here we have
the same inlay.

08:34.166 --> 08:36.500 align:left position:55% line:5% size:35%
This is really
a terrific example.

08:36.500 --> 08:39.933 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
I think this easily
could be mid-19th century,

08:39.933 --> 08:41.433 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
so 1850 at the earliest.

08:41.433 --> 08:42.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Oh, wow--
it's older than I thought.

08:42.900 --> 08:48.033 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
And at a good auction,
I would say $800 to $1,200.

This is part of
an 1860 naval cutlass.

09:33.066 --> 09:35.300 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
It originally would have
had a leather scabbard

09:35.300 --> 09:36.600 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
with copper rivets all the way
down the back.

09:36.600 --> 09:38.066 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Okay.

09:38.066 --> 09:39.666 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
It's missing the scabbard,
it's missing the hand guard,

09:39.666 --> 09:42.266 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
so it's probably worth
about $70, $75.

Well, my aunt, when she passed,

nieces and nephews

09:52.300 --> 09:53.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
were allowed to select
some things.

09:53.866 --> 09:56.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I loved them because
they, they're mechanical,

09:56.166 --> 09:57.366 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
and you wind them up,

09:57.366 --> 09:59.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and then different things happen
in each one of them,

09:59.066 --> 10:00.733 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%

10:00.733 --> 10:01.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I have always
been fascinated by them

10:01.800 --> 10:02.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%

a little bit more.

Mm-hmm.

11:32.900 --> 11:35.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
These robes
are pretty standardized

11:35.100 --> 11:38.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
from the 17th century
to the 20th century,

11:38.666 --> 11:40.066 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
but certain things change,

11:40.066 --> 11:41.633 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and one of the things
that change

11:41.633 --> 11:44.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
is this area in the robe,
on the bottom.

11:44.666 --> 11:46.366 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
It's called lishui.

11:46.366 --> 11:48.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Later on,
into the 20th century,

11:48.700 --> 11:51.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
this gets longer
and longer and longer,

11:51.466 --> 11:52.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and one of
the reasons why,

11:52.966 --> 11:56.100 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
it was the easiest part
of the robe to embroider.
Mm-hmm.

11:56.100 --> 11:58.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So, basically,
they were cost-cutting on it.

11:58.566 --> 12:00.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
The motif
on the bottom

12:00.433 --> 12:03.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
actually represents
the firmament,

12:03.000 --> 12:06.166 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
and then the dragons are all
couched in gold thread.
Mm-hmm.

12:06.166 --> 12:08.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And that gold thread
was gold leaf

12:08.266 --> 12:10.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that was actually wrapped
around threads

12:10.433 --> 12:12.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and used
for the embroidery.

12:12.600 --> 12:14.966 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
There are these round figures
with the flames,

12:14.966 --> 12:17.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and those are
celestial pearls,

12:17.733 --> 12:19.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and there are bats
on the robe, too,

12:19.933 --> 12:21.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
but bats
just mean prosperity.

12:21.400 --> 12:23.133 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
The robe is silk,

12:23.133 --> 12:24.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the embroidery
is also silk.

12:24.800 --> 12:28.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
At this period of time,
which was about the 1850s,

12:28.266 --> 12:30.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
there were just a
huge quantity of people

12:30.733 --> 12:33.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
attending, basically,
the emperor's every needs.

12:33.133 --> 12:34.266 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
And it was people like this

12:34.266 --> 12:37.400 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
that were doing
the clean-up work.
Sure.

12:37.400 --> 12:38.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Even in these robes.

12:38.466 --> 12:39.700 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
At auction,

12:39.700 --> 12:41.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I would expect this robe
to sell for around $2,000.

12:41.666 --> 12:44.333 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
Wow, great.

12:51.400 --> 12:55.233 align:left position:45% line:89% size:45%
♪

12:59.000 --> 13:00.633 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
APPRAISER:
This would've had a handle.
WOMAN: Yeah.

13:00.633 --> 13:02.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So which, if you would
heat it up first of all,

13:02.366 --> 13:04.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
because this big, thick
slab of iron,

13:04.533 --> 13:06.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
it would've maintained that heat
for a long, long time.

13:06.266 --> 13:07.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So you could have used it
and used it,

13:07.766 --> 13:09.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and then when you were finished,
you could knock it off,

13:09.366 --> 13:11.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
you could grab another one
if you had that going,

13:11.200 --> 13:12.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and you could interchange
the handles.

13:12.900 --> 13:14.100 align:left position:77.5% line:89% size:12.5%
Okay.

13:14.100 --> 13:16.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So date-wise,
turn of the 19th century.

13:16.133 --> 13:18.900 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
In a local shop,
that's maybe $15, okay?

13:18.900 --> 13:20.000 align:left position:62.5% line:71% size:27.5%
Okay, good.

13:20.000 --> 13:22.466 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
This was my,
at my grandmother's house.

13:22.466 --> 13:23.833 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
I'm not sure if she owned it

13:23.833 --> 13:26.100 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
or if it was left at the house
from previous owners,

13:26.100 --> 13:28.100 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
but I grew up with it,
always staring at it,

13:28.100 --> 13:29.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and I'm curious to see
if it's worth anything today.

13:29.933 --> 13:31.866 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
It's a porcelain
or china cat,

13:31.866 --> 13:33.133 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
it's got a stamp
from England,

13:33.133 --> 13:34.433 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
and that's about
all I know.

13:34.433 --> 13:36.666 align:left position:65% line:77% size:25%
APPRAISER:
Stylistically,
the china-painted stuff

13:36.666 --> 13:38.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
tends to be more Victorian
or Art Nouveau.

13:38.433 --> 13:40.933 align:left position:32.5% line:71% size:57.5%
Stylistically, it's not
a turn-of-the-century design.
Right.

13:40.933 --> 13:44.200 align:left position:30% line:71% size:60%
So it's a black Japanese
Satsuma piece

13:44.200 --> 13:46.233 align:left position:35% line:71% size:55%
that was sent here and
then decorated here.

13:46.233 --> 13:48.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Her name is Clotilde.

13:48.500 --> 13:50.900 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
She was purchased in France

13:50.900 --> 13:53.800 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
when my
great-great-grandmother

13:53.800 --> 13:56.600 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
had traveled
on a European tour,

13:56.600 --> 13:59.166 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and she gave it
to her daughter,

13:59.166 --> 14:01.100 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
my great-grandmother,

14:01.100 --> 14:04.400 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
who, in the picture,
is holding the doll.

14:04.400 --> 14:06.900 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
What we're looking at
is a doll made

14:06.900 --> 14:09.233 align:left position:42.5% line:5% size:47.5%
by Leontine Rohmer.

14:09.233 --> 14:13.666 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
She was a very prolific
French doll-maker,

14:13.666 --> 14:17.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and it was an interesting
that a woman at that time

14:17.033 --> 14:20.033 align:left position:67.5% line:83% size:22.5%
could run
an entire business.

14:20.033 --> 14:22.866 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
The doll is made of porcelain.

14:22.866 --> 14:26.233 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
This type of porcelain that's
glazed on a white background,

14:26.233 --> 14:27.800 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
we call that china.

14:27.800 --> 14:29.633 align:left position:57.5% line:83% size:32.5%
The shoulders
are the same material,

14:29.633 --> 14:32.166 align:left position:60% line:83% size:30%
the arms are
the same material,

14:32.166 --> 14:34.866 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
the body is of kid leather.

14:34.866 --> 14:36.966 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
It would have a mark

14:36.966 --> 14:39.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
in this area of the chest,
of the leather.

14:39.900 --> 14:42.733 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
I looked and the mark
has worn away,

14:42.733 --> 14:43.900 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
it's no longer there,

14:43.900 --> 14:46.066 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
but it would be a green stamp

14:46.066 --> 14:48.933 align:left position:65% line:83% size:25%
that said,
"Mademoiselle Rohmer."

14:48.933 --> 14:51.100 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
This is a very early doll,

14:51.100 --> 14:55.733 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
probably in the 1860s
that this doll was made.

14:55.733 --> 14:59.833 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
And it has her original dress,
original underwear.

14:59.833 --> 15:02.766 align:left position:57.5% line:83% size:32.5%
Also, sitting
on the table here

15:02.766 --> 15:04.500 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
is her original hoop skirt.
Mm-hmm.

15:04.500 --> 15:09.266 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
She does have a bit of damage
that goes up her cheek,

15:09.266 --> 15:10.833 align:left position:55% line:77% size:35%
up to the eye.
Mm-hmm.

15:10.833 --> 15:12.966 align:left position:37.5% line:77% size:52.5%
That can be repaired.
Mm-hmm.

15:12.966 --> 15:16.666 align:left position:57.5% line:83% size:32.5%
It would cost
about $250 or $300.

15:16.666 --> 15:19.566 align:left position:37.5% line:71% size:52.5%
But it, it would help
the value of the doll.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

15:19.566 --> 15:21.600 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
But as the doll sits today,

15:21.600 --> 15:25.666 align:left position:55% line:83% size:35%
she would sell
for $2,500 retail.

15:25.666 --> 15:26.866 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Oh, my goodness.

15:26.866 --> 15:29.566 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
If you had the repair done
on the cheek,

15:29.566 --> 15:34.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
it would raise the price
to $3,500.

15:34.033 --> 15:36.266 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
That's not
what we expected at all.

15:36.266 --> 15:37.700 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
(laughing)

15:37.700 --> 15:39.033 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
It was worth waiting for,
that...

15:39.033 --> 15:41.233 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Yes, it was, it was.

15:43.033 --> 15:44.966 align:left position:42.5% line:77% size:47.5%
PEÑA:
The mansion itself
reportedly cost

15:44.966 --> 15:49.333 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
about $2.5 million to build
at the turn of the 20th century.

15:49.333 --> 15:53.766 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
That was over $60 million
in 2018.

15:53.766 --> 15:55.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WOMAN:
During the Depression,

15:55.233 --> 16:00.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
my aunt was, started buying up
these vases from Tiffany's,

16:00.333 --> 16:02.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
so I guess she ordered some
by the crate-load.

16:02.366 --> 16:03.566 align:left position:47.5% line:89% size:42.5%
It actually says,

16:03.566 --> 16:07.566 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
"Louis C. Tiffany Studios,"
with an address.

16:07.566 --> 16:08.833 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
The crate in itself,

16:08.833 --> 16:10.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
it's something you don't see
very often,

16:10.000 --> 16:12.900 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
with "glass" plastered
all over the sides.

16:12.900 --> 16:15.466 align:left position:52.5% line:83% size:37.5%
But I also want
to point out the straw.

16:15.466 --> 16:17.100 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
(chuckles)
Because it's not often

16:17.100 --> 16:18.766 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
that people keep
the shipping crates.

16:18.766 --> 16:20.900 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
The first piece of glass
over here,

16:20.900 --> 16:24.466 align:left position:22.5% line:71% size:67.5%
which is what we would call
pastel glass...
Mm-hmm.

16:24.466 --> 16:27.900 align:left position:12.5% line:71% size:77.5%
Is later-production Tiffany--
it was made in the '20s.
Okay.

16:27.900 --> 16:29.866 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
It was made in multiples,

16:29.866 --> 16:31.400 align:left position:62.5% line:83% size:27.5%
and it came
in different colors.

16:31.400 --> 16:32.800 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
These are the colors
that you see

16:32.800 --> 16:34.466 align:left position:55% line:71% size:35%
in some of the
Depression glass of the era...
Mm-hmm.

16:34.466 --> 16:36.833 align:left position:60% line:83% size:30%
But this was
a lot more expensive

16:36.833 --> 16:39.533 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
than your average piece
of Depression glass.

16:39.533 --> 16:41.266 align:left position:52.5% line:89% size:37.5%
Now, this piece

16:41.266 --> 16:44.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
is a paperweight glass vase.
Mm-hmm.

16:44.100 --> 16:48.300 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Leslie Nash, who worked
for Louis Comfort Tiffany,

16:48.300 --> 16:52.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
claims that while they were
working with paperweight glass,

16:52.366 --> 16:54.500 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
Louis Tiffany himself,
who was a painter,

16:54.500 --> 16:57.233 align:left position:37.5% line:5% size:52.5%
came into
the glass-working shop,

16:57.233 --> 17:00.233 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
handed them a painting
of morning glories

17:00.233 --> 17:02.133 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
that he had painted,
and said,

17:02.133 --> 17:04.166 align:left position:30% line:71% size:60%
"I want you to make this
in glass."
Wow.

17:04.166 --> 17:10.000 align:left position:62.5% line:83% size:27.5%
Supposedly,
it took $12,000 in R&D...

17:10.000 --> 17:10.966 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Mm-hmm.

17:10.966 --> 17:13.366 align:left position:67.5% line:83% size:22.5%
to create
this kind of glassware.

17:13.366 --> 17:15.833 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
1914 is when they
first introduced it.

17:15.833 --> 17:19.966 align:left position:62.5% line:83% size:27.5%
Your piece,
on the bottom,

17:19.966 --> 17:21.900 align:left position:57.5% line:83% size:32.5%
actually says
"exhibition piece" on it.

17:21.900 --> 17:23.666 align:left position:62.5% line:83% size:27.5%
I know from
the date letter,

17:23.666 --> 17:26.300 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
which is a suffix L,

17:26.300 --> 17:29.500 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
that that would be somewhere
around 1915.
Okay.

17:29.500 --> 17:31.566 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
So it's possible
that this could've gone

17:31.566 --> 17:35.766 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
to the 1915 San Francisco
International Exhibition.

17:35.766 --> 17:37.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
I think it came back
to the studios,

17:37.766 --> 17:39.133 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
that's the interesting part.

17:39.133 --> 17:40.900 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
You may have seen
vases like this.

17:40.900 --> 17:43.933 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
They're in many museums
all over the world.

17:43.933 --> 17:45.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I think I saw one at the Met
in New York, mm-hmm.

17:45.966 --> 17:49.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Yes, and the one at the Met
has a number on the bottom,

17:49.933 --> 17:52.166 align:left position:50% line:89% size:40%
which is 1130-L.

17:52.166 --> 17:53.933 align:left position:50% line:89% size:40%
Yours is 1132-L.

17:53.933 --> 17:55.633 align:left position:45% line:89% size:45%
Oh.

17:55.633 --> 17:57.933 align:left position:22.5% line:71% size:67.5%
So this is two numbers
after the Met's vase.
Okay.

17:57.933 --> 18:01.033 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
The Met acquired it in 1924,

18:01.033 --> 18:03.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
even though it was probably made
in 1915.

18:03.700 --> 18:05.833 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
So these things
still were sold later.

18:05.833 --> 18:08.733 align:left position:65% line:83% size:25%
The crate,
in a retail setting,

18:08.733 --> 18:11.500 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
this is something
for Tiffany geeks everywhere--

18:11.500 --> 18:13.833 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
collectors, museums.

18:13.833 --> 18:15.900 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
They would actually
be very excited about this,

18:15.900 --> 18:18.566 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
and it would be worth
between $5,000 and $10,000.

18:18.566 --> 18:20.566 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
Holy cow!

18:20.566 --> 18:24.466 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
This piece, which is
not as sought-after

18:24.466 --> 18:26.966 align:left position:40% line:77% size:50%
as some of the other
art glass...
Mm-hmm.

18:26.966 --> 18:31.800 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
would retail probably between
$2,000 and $3,000.

18:31.800 --> 18:33.400 align:left position:52.5% line:89% size:37.5%
But this piece,

18:33.400 --> 18:35.466 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
in a retail shop,
it could be sold

18:35.466 --> 18:40.033 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
for anywhere between
$50,000 and $75,000.

18:40.033 --> 18:41.166 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
No way!

18:41.166 --> 18:42.700 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
Oh, my gosh!

18:42.700 --> 18:44.600 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
I was...

18:44.600 --> 18:49.300 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
thinking maybe
$8,000 to $10,000, I was hoping.

18:49.300 --> 18:50.466 align:left position:45% line:89% size:45%
Wow.

18:50.466 --> 18:52.566 align:left position:55% line:83% size:35%
Well, that was
a long time ago.

18:52.566 --> 18:55.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Wow, I really didn't know
what the market had done,

18:55.333 --> 18:57.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
you know, if it had gone
sideways or up or down,

18:57.966 --> 19:00.133 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
but... wow.
(inhales)

19:00.133 --> 19:03.400 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
So there's one other thing
in here

19:03.400 --> 19:04.900 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
that I want to talk about.

19:07.166 --> 19:08.633 align:left position:65% line:89% size:25%
This vase.

19:09.600 --> 19:10.933 align:left position:50% line:89% size:40%
This practically

19:10.933 --> 19:12.333 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
stopped my heart

19:12.333 --> 19:14.733 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
when I saw it in the box.
(giggling)

19:14.733 --> 19:17.266 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
This is the piece
I was waiting for

19:17.266 --> 19:18.300 align:left position:57.5% line:89% size:32.5%
for 20 years.

19:18.300 --> 19:19.533 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Oh, wow.

19:19.533 --> 19:21.833 align:left position:52.5% line:83% size:37.5%
And every night
before the Roadshow,

19:21.833 --> 19:24.766 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
people would always say,
"What is on your wish list?

19:24.766 --> 19:27.233 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
What would you like to come in
to the show tomorrow?"

19:27.233 --> 19:28.400 align:left position:47.5% line:89% size:42.5%
And I always say,

19:28.400 --> 19:30.800 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
"A Tiffany Lava vase."
Wow.

19:30.800 --> 19:32.566 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
And that's what this is.

19:32.566 --> 19:35.533 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
It's extremely special.

19:35.533 --> 19:39.166 align:left position:42.5% line:71% size:47.5%
It is meant to look
like molten lava...
Mm-hmm.

19:39.166 --> 19:40.966 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
on the surface of the vase,

19:40.966 --> 19:43.800 align:left position:60% line:83% size:30%
and this one
is particularly interesting

19:43.800 --> 19:47.366 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
because you also have
these protrusions here.

19:47.366 --> 19:51.500 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
It's very similar
to a vase that was shown

19:51.500 --> 19:55.500 align:left position:32.5% line:71% size:57.5%
in the 1906 Paris Salon
Exhibition.
Oh!

19:55.500 --> 19:59.500 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
A very similar example
is in the collection

19:59.500 --> 20:01.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs
in Paris,

20:01.933 --> 20:05.733 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
and it's been there since 1906.

20:05.733 --> 20:07.333 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Gee.

20:07.333 --> 20:11.300 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
So when I saw this...
I was kind of excited.

20:11.300 --> 20:12.566 align:left position:65% line:77% size:25%
(laughing)
Oh.

20:12.566 --> 20:15.166 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
The thing about Lava is,
it was very hard to make.

20:15.166 --> 20:18.133 align:left position:50% line:71% size:40%
They get cracked
in the making.
Oh.

20:18.133 --> 20:19.600 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
And I did go over your Lava

20:19.600 --> 20:22.400 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
with my special light
and a magnifying glass,

20:22.400 --> 20:24.900 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
and I couldn't find
any imperfections.

20:24.900 --> 20:28.033 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
An example like this,
in a retail shop,

20:28.033 --> 20:30.833 align:left position:45% line:83% size:45%
could sell between
$100,000 and $150,000.

20:30.833 --> 20:33.833 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
(laughing)

20:33.833 --> 20:35.233 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Where's my brother?
He...

20:35.233 --> 20:36.666 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
(laughs)

20:36.666 --> 20:38.066 align:left position:45% line:89% size:45%
Wow.

20:38.066 --> 20:39.500 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
That's unbelievable.

20:39.500 --> 20:42.833 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
I had no idea.

20:42.833 --> 20:44.300 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
I just can't believe
that your aunt

20:44.300 --> 20:45.633 align:left position:45% line:5% size:45%
bought all of this

20:45.633 --> 20:47.566 align:left position:50% line:5% size:40%
in the late '20s
and the early '30s.
Yeah.

20:47.566 --> 20:50.866 align:left position:72.5% line:5% size:17.5%
It's...
it's pretty remarkable.

20:50.866 --> 20:51.800 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
PEÑA:
You're watching the second part

20:51.800 --> 20:53.100 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
WOMAN:
I bought this
about a year ago

20:53.100 --> 20:54.433 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
from a local dealer.
Let's check it out
on the back.

20:54.433 --> 20:56.600 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Sure.

20:56.600 --> 20:58.700 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
So it's relatively rare

20:58.700 --> 21:01.000 align:left position:47.5% line:5% size:42.5%
to find furniture
with signatures on it,

21:01.000 --> 21:02.700 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
and your chair has two.

21:02.700 --> 21:05.366 align:left position:62.5% line:5% size:27.5%
One of them
is a decal label

21:05.366 --> 21:08.066 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
from the L. & J.G. Stickley
Furniture Company.

21:08.066 --> 21:10.700 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
The label that's on it
is this rectangular shape.

21:10.700 --> 21:11.933 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Right.

21:11.933 --> 21:15.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Which means that it was made
between 1912 and 1920.

21:15.200 --> 21:18.133 align:left position:35% line:71% size:55%
And it also is stamped
"Breakers Cottages."
Yes, yes.

21:18.133 --> 21:20.033 align:left position:55% line:83% size:35%
Which probably
was not done

21:20.033 --> 21:21.666 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
by the Stickley Company
themselves,

21:21.666 --> 21:26.600 align:left position:47.5% line:83% size:42.5%
but probably from
either the preservation society

21:26.600 --> 21:28.566 align:left position:55% line:83% size:35%
once they took
over the Breakers,

21:28.566 --> 21:31.333 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
or the Vanderbilt family
themselves.

21:31.333 --> 21:33.766 align:left position:65% line:5% size:25%
Of course,
Cornelius Vanderbilt built it,

21:33.766 --> 21:35.700 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
but he furnished his home

21:35.700 --> 21:39.800 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
with really fanciful
European furniture.

21:39.800 --> 21:43.300 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
And this was an oak,
pretty pedestrian piece.

21:43.300 --> 21:44.933 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
That's what confused me
a little bit.

21:44.933 --> 21:47.166 align:left position:45% line:5% size:45%
Yes, I am guessing
that this probably came out

21:47.166 --> 21:49.366 align:left position:67.5% line:5% size:22.5%
of either
the servants' quarters or...

21:49.366 --> 21:51.433 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
It was a utilitarian piece,

21:51.433 --> 21:55.500 align:left position:42.5% line:5% size:47.5%
because by the time
this was made in 1912 to '20,

21:55.500 --> 21:58.500 align:left position:55% line:5% size:35%
it wasn't made
by Gustav Stickley,

21:58.500 --> 22:01.000 align:left position:45% line:5% size:45%
the grandfather of
the Arts and Crafts movement--

22:01.000 --> 22:02.766 align:left position:72.5% line:5% size:17.5%
he made
very expensive furniture.

22:02.766 --> 22:05.066 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
His brothers then went on

22:05.066 --> 22:07.766 align:left position:50% line:5% size:40%
to make a little
more pedestrian furniture...
Okay.

22:07.766 --> 22:08.966 align:left position:50% line:5% size:40%
More affordable.

22:08.966 --> 22:10.500 align:left position:35% line:5% size:55%
Any idea of its value,
or...?

22:10.500 --> 22:12.600 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
I paid $750 for it.

22:12.600 --> 22:14.366 align:left position:57.5% line:5% size:32.5%
Well, I would
probably insure this

22:14.366 --> 22:16.500 align:left position:60% line:5% size:30%
in the range
of $800 to $1,200.

22:16.500 --> 22:18.000 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Oh, great, great.
Yeah.

22:18.000 --> 22:20.166 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
It's a connection between
the Arts and Crafts movement

22:20.166 --> 22:22.866 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
and one of the grand homes
here in Newport.

22:22.866 --> 22:24.966 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
Oh, thank you.

22:24.966 --> 22:26.133 align:left position:42.5% line:5% size:47.5%
PEÑA:
Thanks for watching.

22:26.133 --> 22:27.666 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
Tune in again for another
great episode

22:27.666 --> 22:28.966 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
of "Antiques Roadshow Recut."
