That is really one of my biggest pet peeve‘s. Antique wooden furniture is my passion. And I always want it in the condition I find it as far as the finish goes. When I see a person take a beautiful wood good condition piece of furniture and paint it; that just breaks my heart. And then they distress it. I cannot stand watching those type of videos. Yes the end result may be very nice and pretty but I just can’t stand the thought of ruining a completely good piece of antique furniture. Just my opinion Sandy’s

Thank you Dr. Lori for answering me so fast I never expected that. I don’t know why but I have always had a passion for real wood furniture. I don’t get why people go out and spend money on those particleboard wood fake pieces of furniture, when you can find some very nice pieces of real Wood furniture that won’t fall apart in a year. If you look hard enough you can find something that would cost just as much. And of course it was constructed better back then. I cannot resist buying a piece even knowing I probably don’t have a place to put it. But believe me I’ll find a spot rather than get rid of it or paint it.

@changedforgood57613 жыл бұрын
I would think this would be determined by your region as well. Where I am at the good condition wood furniture might sell for $50 regardless of its actual value, slap a coat of chalk paint on that same piece and it now sells for $250 - $300 dollars. My neighbor does this with furniture, as much as she loves the natural beauty of the piece she still needs to pay her bills and feed her family so she does what sells. She does not like painting the pieces but it's what drives her income.

Please continue these Q&As! Now here's my question (more of a followup question regarding selling items to a specific niche of audience) Does jewelry (semiprecious and precious stones specifically) also apply to this? Since I've known certain stones and motifs made into jewelry will have more value in specific regions/locations than in other places where it doesn't hold as much regards/value to such type of stone and/or motif. E.G. A piece of imperial green jade carved into a Chinese Goddess of Mercy (Guanyin) accented with diamonds all in 18k WG frame, will this be more valuable in an auction held in China vs. an auction held in U.S. where this aforementioned jade jewelry is being sold? Also I saw some of your jewelry appraisals and you called Jadeite jade "White Jade" and I've always have been curious why you've called it that when "White Jade" is usually termed that towards Nephrite jade being white or cream colored. Keep up the content as I love learning from you with your signature sass you bring along!

So here’s my opinion of the ever so lively and beautiful color, “gray”. Haha. I’m 66 years old. When I was 6 or 7, my sister had to have a lot of physical therapy. This was done inside a local hospital. No outpatient PT clinics in 1961. All the walls were gray and it was dismal to say the least. As a kid, I hated that a hospital couldn’t come up with a better color. My bedroom was a beautiful yellow and our formal dining room had chinese red patterned wallpaper that was absolutely gorgeous. My parents had some memorable dinner parties in that room! Anyways ... fast forward to 2020 and, everything is grey. Seriously, I cannot believe that anyone would want to be surrounded by that color all day let alone their furniture. When it comes to furniture I’ll take the beautiful Davis cherry furniture that dominates my parents home. Bought in 1965 and still looks like the day it was delivered. Gorgeous, highest of quality and weighs a ton! That’s the good stuff!

Hello Dr. Lori, I see in this video that on the table you have a bottle of Evening in Paris probably either the lotion or the powder. I have been collecting this cobalt blue bottle of perfumes since I was 12 years old that makes me have been collecting it for 54 years if my math in my head is right. I must have well over 1500 pieces. And almost all of them still retain their contents or are full. When I branched out and started collecting the manufacturers line of fragrances which is Bourjois. I thought I had most of the different fragrances collected and then I found a booklet that a eBay seller had online and boy was I wrong. I even have some pieces that are not listed in their books. Since the Internet I have hardly ever seen any in an antique store or flea market anymore. Even online is getting very Tough. Sorry if this is such a mess I’m using voice texting. I am now collecting this for my grandchildren and my nieces since I have so much. Is there any value in this line of fragrance. They did make some unique pieces shipped in these like Eiffel tower , eggs, grandfather clock, and a Toby jug that is very hard to find and then if you do it is extremely expensive. They also have made several specialty pieces for Christmas. I have photographs of the ads showing a lot of these pieces. And a lot of these pieces I have never seen in person or online. I have no intention of selling any of it, I’ll let them do that if they want. I just wanted to know what your opinion is on this, I have been told this is the most highly collectible fragrance on the market. Thank you for your consideration. Sandy

Another of their most common pieces is the bullet shaped bottle that usually has a tassel on top to be carried in your purse. I have seen bullet bottles from other companies they’re all shaped the same but are a different line of perfume.

We have 4 wicker Roll back wicker and wrought iron chairs. We had them made in 1994 for $240 each, and use them at their matching table. The back is good on all of them, and retro-looking, yet the seats are cracking and separating at the seat cross bars/arm rests. Can wicker be restored (and is it worth it), and could it have value if it is damaged wicker?
@DrLoriV3 жыл бұрын
Wicker can be restored. Is it worth it? Depends on your pieces. I always suggest you find out the value first so you can make that decision. I help a lot of people with items before their repaired (or not).

One semester's worth of information within less than an hour! Please know how deeply you are appreciated. Quick note. My ex husband I were Yankees living on New Orleans looking for a few nice pieces for our new, old, home. Going to auction houses in NO we quickly learned that fine furniture made in the north - Boston, Phili, NY was selling at 25% of what we paid for when living in NY. Southerners did not want any Yankee "stuff" in their houses.

I also have a clear dish on a stem an has circles around the edge. My grandmother, my mother in law, and I sold Avon. I think there may be the brown car. I keep them in the china cabinet. I don’t really look at them often. But I am not in the best health, I decided to clean and organize. I have 4 yellow tubs. (That’s what I call them.). I have some really old stuff from my grandma. There may be stuff from my great grand ma. But I want gather what what should go to who. I hope they stay in the family. That’s why I wanted to wait. I am right in the middle of paint. In fact I have a lot on my plate right now. Oh I wanted to know. I would like to paint my grandmothers desk. Early 1900’s. Will that ruin its value? Also, I have two ladies pocket watch. I know one is gold. It has a lady carved onto the back the other may be bronze. She got it when she started to teach school around 1913 maybe. Thank you for being so helpful. I love learning. Wish I could learn faster, I had open heart surgery. Now i don’t remember very well even being 3 years ago that surgery. Your sweet. You must be fond of purple. I have jewelry also. Been 20 years since it was appraised.

New subscriber and love to watch your appraisals. I just bought an old picture that looks like it was printed on thin rice or parchment paper. It also feels more like water paint. It's German and I am new at this. It's gotten to the point I am afraid to handle it much because it might crack or crumble... yet looks good. Was it a natural paper to paint or print on ?

Hi Dr. Lori, Love your videos. I went to an Estate sale yesterday and when you walk in they hand you a basket to fill. I filled it with a few items and the lady asked if i wanted another basket and i said oh sure that would be nice because the items in the other basket where breakable. She gave me a number and asked me my first name and took them to the check out. After I was done I gave them my first name and number and they started to check me out. Then the lady said we wanted to let you know that one of your items you wanted that was already priced we decided to look it up online and now we want more for it. The item was a Haeger vase. I said I picked it up and their was price on it she said this is what we want now. I told them to keep it. Do you think the Estate sale company should be able to do this ???

You talked about Gold marking, I assume that silver is different. I understand that silver was marked 925 beginning in 1970, or it was established as a standard in 1970, and before that it was called Sterling, especially before 1940. I have some silver jewelry that is not marked at all, but I believe it was made before 1970. It is turquoise Jewelry and is silver, and may not be 925/1000, but is still silver w/turquoise. So I am wondering if it could be 925 parts silver per 1000 but native Americans just didn't stamp their silver or it is a lesser quality silver.
