Clues to Value Antique Frames and Lithographs by Dr. Lori

[@michaelhealy1590]

Besides being a piece of work, you are a great asset to all😂of us trying to be educated

[@finbah5706]

I have scored so many paintings, prints and frames from auctions and resold for nice $$$ with the knowledge I've gotten watching your videos! Including finding at a local auction for $13 total, a real rough, stained, torn Renoir Engraving made during his lifetime. I sold for $800. Thanks Lori I look daily for more art/print/frame videos..

[@sherylemcmullen6916]

I have been for the last 30 or so years an avid frame collector. Even to the point that my husband started throwing fits about my weird collection. One of his friends loves to stir up trouble just by mentioning the frames. I was addicted to it for the longest. If I had a sale, I could hardly turnloose of them. It was a pleasure to let my husband hear this show on behalf of my frame addiction. I have toned it down for a few years now. I love this show.

[@DrLoriV]

Thanks for sharing Sheryle. I often settle disputes between family members:

[@FleaMarketJohn]

OMG ... I just got a frame almost identical to the Conical shape ! Thank you Dr. Lori ... I still might have to ask on a video call on this one!

[@teresawelborn1360]

I was just binge watching some of your old videos and I'm laughing so hard. That frame with grandpa's print..had me on the floor. That face you made is priceless. Phew I just can't stop rewinding.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ryanwhittier7314]

This is pretty fascinating. My dad is the local fire department historian and as such has acquired a large cabinet photo featuring some of the high ranking officials at the time, circa 1870s. The frame it came with has definitely seen better days and the backing wood for the frame is falling apart and splitting. Thinking of repairing the whole thing to make it look nice and presentable.

[@ki-adimundi8695]

Wow I’d love to see the picture and frame! Must be a delightfull object to look at!

Sooooo, I binge watched about 3/4 of your videos yesterday.....today I went thrifting, to see what I could find with my new knowledge.as soon as I walked into the glass isle, it’s like I had some sort of spidey senses! 😂 no lie! The crystal was suddenly throwing rainbows into my eyes! I found six Waterford double high ball glasses, a Lenex vase, and several heavy crystal pieces that are not marked! Thank you soooo much for your wonderful videos!

Just came across your videos yesterday and you’re such a hoot! Love the way you present things with a twist of humor. I’m trying to get as much knowledge from these as I can and then I’m going to some thrift stores! And my grandmas! Lol she probably has tons of things she doesn’t realize are more valuable

[@DrLoriV]

Nice to meet you Stephanie. Glad you enjoy the videos. I'm sure you're right about your Grandmas. Also, let your grandmas know if you like something they have regardless if it's valuable or not. They often don't know and think that you don't like any of their stuff. You'd have to have them throw something away, even if it's a $5 plate and you liked it. 😊

[@tallbrittany]

I love your work Dr. Lori! Your overall knowledge captivates me. I wish your site would give out more than a week or two of scheduling at a time though. I've been looking to see if you were coming to California anywhere near hesperia for a couple of months now! Either way great job and keep up the amazing work!

[@lori8553]

If people really knew what the values were on these frames I wouldn’t be available to find them in all my little treasure hunts. As always extremely valuable information Dr. Lori. The question is and I would love to see you address the issue of how do you find a buyer for them? Respectfully Lori don’t call me late for dinner Ewing.

[@DrLoriV]

First, you spell your name correctly! 😊 Don't worry about your treasure hunts, I've been appraising for over 20 years and still see people get the finds because others simply don't want to be bothered learning the true value, then they give or throw it away. I offer tons of tips on how to sell on my website. One can be found at www.drloriv.com/Tips/ID/4193/How-do-I-sell-my-Antique which offers step by step details. Once you have the right information which I provide, you just got to do it. My values are based on what people really pay for stuff--a true appraisal.

[@jojo90s4]
