French Art Nouveau 'Salon Suite' Worth Thousands | Antiques Roadshow

[@BBCAntiquesRoadshow]

Which of the two finds being examined in this clip was your favourite and why?

[@DuckReach432]

The monetary value of these objects is almost irrelevant. In almost every case, in these videos, it's the same money as you'd pay for a second-hand car. The appeal is getting to see the beauty and craftsmanship in these magnificent pieces.

You wouldn't pay that for a used electric car, you can't give them away.

In 2024 the monetary value given in 2001 can be doubled for todays values

I'm sorry, but I am completely distracted by the first 2 seconds of this video. I would love to know the name of the statue in the background, and what it actually depicts. I feel very guilty that all I get from it is some sort of weird sophomoric reaction EVERY TIME I WATCH😂

[@Fullmetalonion]

It's Theseus and the Minotaur statue, by Antonio Canova (It also piqued my interest so I did some digging.)

That's a club... lol

[@fidelity7068]

@Jamie_E_Pritchard yeah, but....y'know. It gets me every time! Boom, there it is, and I'm 15 in Art History snorting with suppressed laughter in the back of the class. So much for adulting 😳

@@fidelity7068 I must admit, I had to look twice too 😂
