Bonanzaville, Hour 1 Preview | Stickley Craftsman Sideboard, ca. 1905 | ANTIQUES ROADSHOW | PBS

[@responseability2624]

Our experts here at The Antique Road Show date your piece between 1905 and 1910, going by the hammered copper and fine original butter caramel satin stain finish. And the sticker on the back also helped us establish that.

Love this piece. I love mission. What a blessing to have picked this up for $25.

[@RobertMoraleslv]

I still get chills when they give the appraisal value, I love seeing the attendees reactions!

This old lady had the excitement of a hermit crab 🐚

[@vikkinicholson5880]

I get chills thinking of a baby being laid on this thing. Not a changing table folks.

My uncle, back in the sixties, bought a huge old house full of arts and crafts furniture with copper details and stained glass doors etc. He took it all out into the garden and set fire to it. I still remember as a kid being horrified and rooting around in the ashes for the hinges and details which I wasn't allowed to keep. He then bought a 'lovely' new formica table and chairs !

Grew up in the Syracuse suburb of Manlius NY..... Stickley is based there, owned by the Audi family (not the VW Audi folks).... my siblings and I inherited a large number of original pieces, in addition to a large number of McKenzie-Childs decorative accessories. Quality and uniqueness

[@jmatt4life]

I can’t wait for the day that I find my treasure! I pray it’s a whopper of an appraisal and resell value!!!

[@MISNM0]

🙏 One for both of us

[@redwoods7370]

Lovely piece.

[@Jude74]

I like that, it’s pretty.

[@thesacredgempath]

This is why I like the Detroit lakes flea market, I didn't get to go this summer sadly, but I did with at bonanzaville a few times

[@larsreddeker1853]

Nice piece for the time, & not a bad investment.

[@gilessteve]

If I saw that for sale at $2000 I would buy it immediately!

[@vdavis4785]

Appraiser should have been clearer about distinguishing the various Stickley furniture operations. Gustav was the big kahuna of the 5 brothers, with L. & J.G. Stickley's company next, with Stickley Bros. bringing up the rear. (I can only afford furniture from the last guys.)

[@joanwood9480]

$3,000- $5,000? That's all for Stickley that's over 100 years old? Still has the original finish. I would have said considerably more than that since brand new could cost around $2,000

[@sarahwaters8262]

Brand new in 1905? Surely that's not what you mean because $2,000 is almost $60,000 in today's money.

[@joanwood9480]

@@sarahwaters8262 brand new now would be over $2000. Stickley is highly coveted furniture because of the quality and how it is manufactured. Even in 1905 that piece of furniture would have been very expensive. There are pieces of stickley brand new on the showroom floor that are $5000 and up. Even the simple mantle clock I would like is close to $400. Solid wood, handmade, as is everything that stickley produces. I have been in the stickley store close to their manufacturing plants many times, just to drool and dream

[@sharksport01]

15 years ago she could have gotten 7000. The arts and crafts market crashed. Older people have what they want, younger people want ikea.

[@joanwood9480]

@@sharksport01 its hard for me to wrap my head around people that prefer particle board that will fall apart in 3 yrs compared to solid wood that will last 2-3 lifetimes. Even my 20 something daughter recognizes the value of solid wood.

Hello from the Netherlands, the words "Als ik kan" say's "If I can". But he maybe will be right that the meaning in the US could be "as good I can" because he is the expert and talk's like a British.

[@richierich2208]

In designing and building his furniture, Stickley promoted the ideals of “simplicity, honesty in construction, and truth to materials.” Stickley signed each of his pieces with the Flemish phrase Als Ik Kan centered in a joiner’s compass. Doing a little more digging, I learned that Stickley borrowed the phrase from Jan van Eyck, a 15th century Renaissance artist who signed his paintings with the personal motto Als Ik Kan, which is taken from the Flemish saying “As I can, not as I would.” Als ik kan in dutch means If I can.

[@jayneneewing2369]

I would just love to find that piece for $25.00. But, ummm, not to use to change dirty diapers. lol!

[@karmatt3098]

Hope there’s no diaper stains lol

Nice Tudor on his wrist ;)

[@gilessteve]

I love wristwatch spotting on KZbin. I was watching an interview recently and the subject was wearing a vintage Rolex Explorer I with a Jubilee band. I paused the video at several points just to admire it.

[@leroybaratone6930]

Beautiful piece of craftsmanship

[@leroybaratone6930]

@shaun king I don't see many shaun king pieces around the world. So I'll stick to my observation and the shows.

[@leroybaratone6930]

25 dollars to around $3k, not to shabby.

[@leroybaratone6930]

It probably was a rush job and it could of been done way more better but to survive for a hundred years is the kicker, no hate here from your reply. Peace

[@leroybaratone6930]

@shaun king you see a boy, push him down and make him a man, Jr.

[@rjr1227]

Wow....fantastic piece...beautiful. I was guess $2,000....(good guess on my part I think)

[@insertaverygenericnamehere]

$25 from the 60's would be just under $250 today. Still a pretty good investment!

[@tapio83]

$25 in 1969 is worth 175 dollars in 2020. So annualized inflation adjusted return on investment on that is about 6%.

[@michaelfedorsha8147]

She was hoping for a much higher value.

[@janespaulding8653]

That's a good value for the asking price $$$ for that Stickney piece. Its is also in great shape for its age!!

[@mikenealon4042]

good wood

[@englishrose4388]

Fun fact about dusting!

[@fanoboss]

WOW !

[@njoogle]

I think if you were to buy a new Stickley sideboard of a similar size today you’d probably pay about as much as this piece was appraised for.

[@benwilson6145]

Can still embarrass her daughter even after 50 years

[@williamwells1862]

Mission is different silly.

[@williamwells1862]

Good Yob

[@williamwells1862]

You did not carry it in there on your back.

[@vikkinicholson5880]

Arts and crafts not mission. Will remember that. Sideboard not changing table.

[@louisglen1653]

And if a cabinet maker was to make that today he/she would charge $3,000 to $5,000 for it and possibly more.
