Antiques Roadshow Home Furnishings Drop in to “Antiques Roadshow,” where appraisers from the nation’s top auction houses are eyeing a hodgepodge of furnishings hauled in across the country — from artwork to rugs to tea tables, from a fancy Philadelphia desk to a funky old shaving stand scrounged from a barn and more. * One Massachusetts man who bought and restored a classic 1740 Boston highboy was pleased to find out it’s worth $50,000. But he was less happy to learn it could have commanded $120,000–if he’d left its “ugly” finish intact. * A woman in Connecticut was given a moth-eaten fiddle case by her neighbor. While the dusty 19th-century French violin inside holds very little value, the shredded 1830 bow alone is worth $8,000. Join antiques expert Chris Jussel and his team of specialists as they examine these objects and many more–in clips from the popular PBS series taped around the country–plus footage never seen on TV.
Customer Review: 1997 rerun not what advertised!!!! Shame on you PBS!!!
This is a 1997 program, one hour only, with review stating it is a “new 2006 release”. There is nothing new. It is not furniture…lots of misc. stuff, artwork, musical instuments, rug etc. Save your money. This is not what is advertised. I am going to see if I can return it. If I could rate it a big fat ZERO…I would!
