Don't be so sure about the mother and her story how she "acquired" the lamp for $125 from an old lady. Then, kept the lamp hidden for 30 years. Think? Story doesn't add up! Stay close to your old relatives who are prone to get scammed from strangers and relatives alike.

@@marketmaker2469 oh come on - she bought it in the 60s from a woman who knew it was a Tiffany lamp, and art nouveau was just starting to enjoy a Renaissance. In fact many of the most valued art nouveau objects now such as rare art nouveau jewelry was sold for pennies on the modern appraisals.

I can tell you as an antique dealer, having moments like this are so special. More often than not, you end up the crusher of dreams when people come to you with a family heirloom that turns out to be fake or not what the owner has believed it to be. Personally if find it so rewarding to be a part of a moment when someone does hit the antique jackpot. This was a great moment.

Tiffany lamps everywhere along with VERY rare and expensive artwork. 1 particular painting he had on his wall I later saw a similar one get auctioned off for around $4.5M and his wasn't a reprint or fake yet 100% authentic and from Paris or something...I didn't even want to walk through his house with my toolbelt on...

Roadshow uses mostly apraisers with unique personalities and Arlie just may be my favorite,there are some close seconds though. The first big apraisal I remember was a silver Spanish helmet found in the rafters of an attic,which upon research was probably the Milanese parade helmet and a "controversial" find. I would like to know more about it but can't find much. How was it really found? Is it as old as they say(17th century)? The show was pulled early on which explains why nobody remembers it but me when I mention it,lol.

That's not correct. We have old auction catalogs and since late '30s genuine Tiffany lamps were always been rare, expensive, and highly sought after, and brought top money by connoisseurs. Then, there are "Tiffany-style" that are reproductions and decorative-items. Those repros only have value similar to a lamp bought from a dept store. Those went out of style during 50s-70s among public (only). Steve Jobs and Barbara Streisand were among Tiffany collectors.
