Today’s video is a very exciting one! Since posting my empty house tour, I received so many comments and messages about how the light fixtures in the home are probably worth a lot of $$$. I tried to do some research on my own but decided to bring in the expert of all experts to help appraise them. Dr. Lori is an appraiser of antiques, collectibles and fine art. She’s basically called the Ph.D. antiques appraiser! I couldn’t believe what some of the light fixtures were worth!! Which fixture is your favorite?

Drew, retired museum curator here. Consider a Fine Arts insurance policy on these valuable lighting fixtures. My museums worked with the Huntington Block agency with Cigna coverage. A fine arts agency is much more knowledgeable and aware of the issues that properly insuring objects like these entail than a standard homeowners insurance underwriter with scheduled items of particular value. Insurance is not just about premiums, but also about service.

[@susanfitzgerald2443]

Great advice!

[@Lulusjungle]

Totally agree as someone who has worked in the insurance field. A fine arts insurance is a must. Especially with electricals.

[@bethmccall823]

I was just going to say that you need to insure these fixtures!

[@francescox8094]

Very good advice, he might want to contact the L.A. County Museum research department or the Los Angeles Historical Society as well, I would not be surprised if they don't already have some information about this house. The quality and expense of the fixtures in this house, the original owners might have had other fine art pieces (paintings and small sculptures0 that were donated to the museum.

Drew, you should contact the historical society to see if there are any pictures of the home in its original glory or any history on the original owner. It would be so interesting to learn more and I think all the Lone Fox family would love it.

Agreed. A video on the history of the home would be very interesting maybe you can go to the historical society or just to your area city County building that handles land and maybe find out who it owned it to begin with I’d be very interested in knowing the history of this house I’d also like to see a photo standing back and looking at it

Go to your county Land Records, Drew! You can find plats, maps, deeds, original/previous owners, taxes, abatement, renovation info and more, there. The local newspapers might have more like photos or stories. Who knows, you might even be able to get onto the Historic Record...

[@johnvonundzu2170]

I'm thinking most of the fixtures arrived much later than when the house was new. Some of chandeliers hang way too low / seem designed for higher ceilings. Reaching up and touching a chandelier, or banging your head on one - I don't think that would happen back then. And I can't believe that the Murano grapes chandelier would have originally hung so very close to the sconces - this looks like the result of a collector running out of space (been there, done that!).

[@purplebunnyz]

Shout out to previous owners, who left everything intact. How cool! Drew, do you know how many previous owners there were? I'd be interested in knowing how many times this house changed hands.

[@StephBer1]

I bet the owner was a European transplant or lover of European style and they lived in this house all their lives and then it transferred to a child. I've visited some elderly people (part of my job in Aged Care) who live in houses that haven't been updated since the 20s to 50s and many times it's an unmarried daughter or son who lived with their parents, looked after them when they aged, and inherited the house. Most of them don't feel the need or desire to remodel as it's comfortable to them, or feel it's an insult to the parents.

[@michellemahoney8126]

Now I want to know who the original owners were. I wonder if it was a Hollywood exec’s house, because somebody evidently went to Europe to source lights for their new home. In 1929-30 (the stock market crashed and the Great Depression began in October 1929, for reference). I bet your house has some interesting history!

[@margoh7655]

Yes, would be very interesting to know who the previous owners were. I think the title company can tell you who the previous owners are. If someone really famous, and historical significance, may be some property tax savings, if you preserve the history, for example. Dr. Lori gave you some clues-on someone Going to France to search for light fixtures. For my house, i was able to go all the way back to when the Spanish Missions owned my property as a vineyard.

SO GLAD you got ahold of Dr. Lori before you yanked any of those fixtures out!

My advice to you would be kinda like that line out of The Godfather....(Remember? "Leave the gun....take the cannoli!") ...only here it would be don't stress about the bathroom tiles, because there's a lot of that in your area that's been reclaimed and is available. Those light fixtures are apparently original to the house and we're curated by someone with a very knowledgeable eye (and a fairly large pocketbook, I'd guess!)

[@TheFinnola]

History writer here. Agree with @Patricia Heirsupply, museum curator. Insurance value is different from “worth value.” The “replacement” value of these antique pieces needs, as suggested, Fine Arts specialists. Great Britain also has a magnificent Arts & Crafts reference centre for history, as many of the artisans were British but travelled overseas to wealthy homes.

Jackpot ! The fixtures are incredible. I so hope you will leave them in place. When I was young I replaced some decorations from the late 30’S , to suit the 70’s . Oh I still cringe to think of it.

[@wendyreynolds8940]

Oh, my God, Drew--I can't imagine what your home insurance costs will be, but you need to SERIOUSLY insure those fixtures! God bless, you got an amazing gift in this home! Also, you and Dr. Laurie need to team up and create a replica series for the rest of us who crave the beauty of these fixtures but on a budget--please oh please make that happen!

[@LuvMyCardiKids]

Yes! Drew you need to get with your insurance agent and add a rider to the policy specifically covering these fixtures. Take good pictures and put them in your safe or safety deposit box. It’s best to have a safety deposit box to store important papers separate from your house so if anything happens to the house your papers survive.

[@phangirlable]

I think recreating those would not make them more affordable. They would still have to be made by hand ..

[@victorialove9104]

​@@phangirlable yes and as dr laurie said the knowledge of techniques for making some of these light fixtures doesn't exist anymore.

[@ResaleKingz]

I can't believe you teamed up with Dr. Lori. I NEVER expected this but I am very pleased. I've loved her for awhile now and of course you.

Oh, this was such a fun video! Someone really cared for this home to keep original details. I definitely want to check out Dr. Laurie 's channel now, too.

[@staceyallard2692]

That is insane Drew!!!! Wow!! 😯 you could tell they were originals and antiques but I had no idea!! Some rich movie star or executive went to Paris to get lights for his/her home being built in sunny California! I just love that!!😊♥️

[@myowngardenzone6319]

Don’t feel the pressure to keep any you don’t feel 100% attached to! It’s your house make it yours :) if you sell them for that kind of money hello, the person who purchases it will more than likely take care and appreciate them! Take care of you Drew. Try to remember we can’t please everyone it’s your very first home and your very own and don’t feel guilty about it if you don’t absolutely love it 😍

[@jmk1962]

I agree. I personally don't like most of them and they also hang really low and intrusively into the room. If they were mine I would sell most of them and use the money to renovate the house to my own taste.

[@frauleintrude6347]

If you remove those items you change the character of the house. The house in it‘s whole is an antique, rip of the tiles, woodwork, original flooring, lights the house will loose much of the value, more as selling single parts one by one. Here it would be forbidden and put under the historic preservation regulation because the house represents a time period perfectly. If you don‘t like Art Deco, go buy a house from another time period. I look at this house and my heart bleeds. I am really afraid of the changes it will experience by thoughtless home owners.

[@briansutton9685]

That was really fun! Dr. Lori was a fantastic guest. She has such a humorous, knowledgeable and confident presentation style. We were really curious about the origin of all of the light fixtures and she certainly filled in the blanks. Thanks

[@stevenkeller3047]

DREW! I'm so glad you got an expert appraisal of your light fixtures. I knew you had some impressive pieces. The first thing you should do is get them insured. Then, when you clean them, be VERY careful. Not only how you clean them, but what you use to clean them. I'm also glad she talked to you about your ceiling beams. I knew those too are very special. You really scored big time with this place and I think it's going to bring your design work to the next level. You now have a big responsibility before you. You are now not only a homeowner but a steward of history. Keep up the good work.

[@julietaylor2497]

I am stunned all those pieces are original and survived the changes in ownership all these years. Jackpot!

[@pitterpatti1958]

That was so interesting! Lone Fox goes Antiques Roadshow. I remember you said the one in your primary bedroom wasn’t your style, but I’m guessing it will find a permanent place somewhere in your beautiful home. ❤️

[@susielecompte2017]

Drew, great video. So cool to see this episode of antiques roadshow lol. Keep you location private and lock up well !!!!

[@terrychancellor4593]

Yes, get an insurance policy on those, especially with workers going in and out!!! Just stunning!!!! She had so much great info to pass along.

[@marinapowell8903]

I’m so happy Drew decided to buy this property as you can tell he has so much respect for the history and traditional features. I can wait to see how he works with them

[@annkaufmann2549]

Oh my gosh Drew!!! You are so lucky to have all of those original period light fixtures!!! And the appraised price - WOW!!! Please keep all of them - it is so rare to see such beautiful light fixtures in an original home - something you only see in museums!!! You are VERY fortunate that the sellers did not remove all of them and replace them with some kind of builder grade junk!!! So looking forward to seeing what you do with the house - Love you!!! 😘😘😘😘😘😘❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@RiddimKingdom]

Dr Laurie was such a wealth of knowledge and so warm. Hope to see more of her on your channel xx

[@today7518]

We all loved the vintage lights from our first view. So exciting to see the appraisal...they're works of art. Wonder if you could find old photos of the house back in the day, and maybe old family photos? That would be so interesting. Dig into house history for all of us!!! 😍

[@BerelSolomon520]

☝️☝️☝️ Hey reach out, I have important INFO to share with you ✍️✍️✍️

[@lose999]

I've been a fan of Dr. Lori for many years! Her knowledge is extraordinary. Drew, your home and those light fixtures are spectacular works of art!! Make sure you put them on your homeowners insurance asap.

[@havenpeckover]

Love that you are honouring the artistry and history of your home and the fixtures that were left. So many people would tear it all down and modernize it, but the world needs home likes this!!!

[@teenad9672]

Wow!!! How lucky are you to have all these unique antique lighting in your home. Congratulations!!! Please keep them.

[@lyndapalecek8952]

The lighting is beautiful and Dr. Lori is a true historian. You have some extremely experienced and knowledgeable followers that do have your best interest at heart. Investing in good security system is worth the money spent.

[@chanaveffer568]

That was one of the most enjoyable 24 minutes I've spent in a very long time. I'm delighted that your home has such beautiful lighting. Apropos, as you bring so much light into the world!

[@victorialove9104]

yes!

[@megitanz89]

Exactly what I thought 💓

[@azahace]

I love it when she says the stencil work on the beams has the iconography for abundance, it tells me the original owners had that as a motto or something, their choosing and sourcing of lights also tell they had abundance and the fact that YOU came to connect with this house points to what you'll create in this place. Congratulations! I'm really happy for you!

[@sue8237]

Love, love, love Dr. Lori!! Good call, Drew, on involving her in this video. I agree with her on my favorite, but they are all gorgeous! Time to up your Homeowner's Insurance, Drew!!!

[@gwenmccaulley1679]

ALL the lights are so beautiful! I know they aren't the worth a ton ( except the last one) but the history and the artistry are so unique. It's so amazing that they are STILL in the house.

[@gbear768]

wow! lucky you! Will you keep them? I hope so, they "belong" to the house. There are wonderful ways to incorpoorate vintage antiques with more modern decor. Let that be your challenge!

[@DeeDee-cr7fb]

It would be very interesting to research the history of your home. Who built it, who lived there…

[@nancyslider645]

Drew may need an assistant to handle all the historical aspects of this treasure trove of a home !

[@justyb2209]

Wow! The last owner left a treasure trove of lights for the Lone Fox crew! Result! ✊🏾

[@enyarec]

Drew, this house is a treasure that was meant for you to bring back to its formal glory! What I would love to see is that you design each space around these lamps! Is an investment that will bring value and is something you have been given to protect and cherish!

[@tangofoxtrot40]

Oh no not around the lamps. It’s gonna look like a theme motel. Theyre just lamps so let them be accents only

[@enyarec]

@@tangofoxtrot40 I don't know what kind of decoration you are thinking about! But is not a theme park what I am talking about.

[@y2khira]

Exactly my thoughts. Design around these lamps.....

[@Choachno3]

This was fascinating. You scored! Time to set up security cameras!

[@reneeboronka]

Wowza! Drew, when I first saw the tour of your new home my thought was that you should not get rid of any of the lighting and that your design style would definitely compliment all of the existing lighting. After this video, I think it underscores my thoughts. I know you might not keep them, but I think they are all unique and beautiful and I hope you do keep them since they all tie back to the original home. I can understand changing the bathroom and kitchen that were remodeled, because those do not seem to fit the elegant style of the home or your design aesthetic. I am so happy for you Drew. This home in it’s current state is breath taking and I know you will transform it beautifully. So excited for you. ❤️

[@elia-mariaabbott9577]

How fortunate to have beautiful lighting, PLEASE DON'T CHANGE THEM! EXCITING!

[@lisaoverman2696]

The last chandelier would look incredible in a dining room or living room. So beautiful!

[@rebeccavalicoff1581]

Each light is an absolutely beautiful work of art! Please keep every one!

[@ehpeachylove]

Yes, I agree and not like the stuff made today.
