"Good to know.."
Wow, I've seen an ant carrying a dead ant with more enthusiasm!
She already knew. She put it on there looking for buyers.
It takes a lot to impress anybody who has a sun porch.
Lol. My thoughts exactly.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that that was the most expensively appointed chicken shed in the US
There's probably a snobby chicken or four in that henhouse.
Don't get your tailfeathers all riled up there.....
Right? Tiffany or not, if your chicken coop's got a stained-glass chandelier, I'm not sure the $100k-150k estimate is gonna be life-changing for this particular life.
I don't know what it would be worth if it weren't Tiffany, but from the videos I've seen online using modern equipment to make smaller pieces, just knowing how much time even goes into those minor works... something like this would take a very skilled person potentially weeks of dedicated work. Like, hundreds of hours. There's the planning, which is three dimensional, sourcing the glass, cutting it, smoothing it, applying the copper foil (a relatively new technique at the time, which today has become common practice), soldering*, and then... what, welding, for those support fins? And that's another three-dimensional effort. The support fins may have been planned and constructed before the glass was cut, because otherwise you have thermal shock to contend with, right?
So even a starting artist would likely get thousands and thousands and thousands of today-dollars if someone commissioned something like this from them. The fact that it's a Tiffany rookie card certainly helps though. But my point is, a work of this scale and quality was never meant to just be lying around. If the family from Jack in the Beanstalk had this lamp, the cow wouldn't be the thing going to market.
*Anyone who has soldered circuits together would be familiar with this. You put copper on the thing, and then you apply hot molten solder, which bonds with the copper. The solder becomes the structure that holds the glass pieces together. The framework that holds the glass pieces together isn't constructed ahead. The metal and the glass are added to the work, one piece at a time. Just putting a fine point on how laborious this process is. The appraiser says that this work is unfinished. In most modern pieces, a compound (a strong oxidizer, maybe) is added to the finished piece, turning the surface of the solder that characteristic black.
@@tom_something Her grandfather the maintenance man, stole it. That's why it was hidden inside the chicken coop.
@@dirkremmington bawkbawkbAwWWK!!
She goes home and tells her siblings, "They said it's a fake. Worthless."
She's an only child.
🤣🤣🤣
That’s 😂 funny!!
Muuuaaahahahahahaha🤪
lol
Thank God I didn't have to take a drink after every time she said "Yea" .. I would be dead.
She was waiting for the evaluation ($$$) of the piece and didn"t care about the history of it lol
@@MDeLorienI'm not even sure she was that impressed at the price!
@@TheDramaKings right!? I was thinking how excited I’d be.
I love how everybody on the Brit version says “Right, right…” (pronounced, of course, like WROYT)
Yea
I would 100% design my dining room around this fixture. It's stunning.
I'd sell it to build a house.
That has been done.
It is nice, not 150,000 nice... rather have the cash and buy a fake Tiffany lamp.
Absolutely, I get the feeling that lady was expecting it to be more than 100K
@@dtulip1 oh yes. In fact, I wonder if she was hoping for 200k and was a little disappointed!
I've been doing stain glass for over 20 Years and this is one of the most stunning pieces I've ever seen!
@@matthewnienkirchen8083 Not really. Very precise and detail oriented work! Not to mention a very costly "Habit" but the end result can be stunning and rewarding!!
Once she starts saying “YEAH” it’s impossible to ignore
Yeah.
“Good to know”?… I would’ve fainted lol 😂
She did seem remarkably underwhelmed. lol
Guess you don’t need the dough anyway
Indeed, I would have said "color me happy" then proceed to sell it...😉
That was her pre faint game. Holy crap that shade was incredible!
@@rk100364 Not really, she was immediately cheesing the last few frames of that shot.
When they zoomed on the glass, just beautiful
She's such a great appraiser. I really enjoy the details she gets into.
Grand daddy worked on an estate I have no idea how he came to have it. I can take a guess. LOL
And he kept it in a chicken coup for years. Because you would, wouldn’t you? 😂
The story left too much room for the imagination. I was giggling thinking he might have picked it up on his last day. LoL
Grand daddy had such a good taste!..He knew what he was after!..🤔🤭😜
Fairly Vague Yeah, there's only two reasons you'd keep stained glass in a chicken coop. 1) you had literally nowhere else to put it, or 2) you were trying to hide it. That last one hangs together a lot more plausibly.
Lol
Ahh ok, good to know. Might have to move it back out to the hen house since my home is worth 10 mil.
😂 💯 😂
I'd rather see someone scream and jump up and down. This woman probably just couldn't get the housekeeper to bring it this day.
Hahahaha.....yes, her 'enthusiasm' left alot to be desired.
😂😂 Yea, she's a bit arrogant, isn't she??
I think you are reading her reaction wrong
Oh my god, it’s beautiful. Many glass studios are amazing but Tiffany is by and far the best, which correlates with how insanely valuable it is.
My great great uncle who owned a mansion in Gloucester, per family legend lost a giant lampshade when a groundskeeper ran off with it, I wonder if this is it?
🤣🤣🤣 Is that you cousin?
Yeah I thought that straight away. "my grandfather was a superintended at the estate, and somehow he got this and used it in his chickencoop". Yeah right, he would have known the value of something like that, and surely wouldn't have put it in a chickencoop. And if he had bought it, or were gifted it, it would have never been put in a chickencoop, and also that part of the story would surely have been known in the family. So it came across to me as if he stole it and was stored away safely somewhere.
Like she said "good to know"!
@@DutchFurnace sounds more like the owners of the house wanted to redesign/remodel (new chandeliers) and left this in a trash pile.
My second cousin, who's a chicken, lost a giant lampshade when someone stole it from his coop, spilling all his feed on the floor. We always figured it was a fox, but now we know the truth.
She was so calm?! If someone told me I had something worth 100k I’d be 😭with joy.
true, but she seems stupid
I think she was expecting more zeros on the end of that appraisal.
Some people are just like that. Dhe might be an introvert who didn't want to make a fool of herself.
@@herberthickey5998very good point
or shes rich already and that number doesnt impress her
Your Granddad had very good intentions. He took the shade before someone would steal it! Very cautious. 😂
Maybe he stole it.
@@RubbishFPS Maybe you missed the hint...
If she says "yeah" one more time I'm going to explode.😂
SAME! OMG was driving me crazy. I would slapped her! Yeah implies you already knew something and she didn't know crap! LOL
Drove me nuts too.
Yeah
I've seen that frequently in these shows where the "client" says, "yeah" in the middle of the experts description. It's so annoying you'd think they'd edit it out.
Like most people who haven't got a clue about something. Its the go to answer.
Owners of mansion: “so that’s what happened to our lamp shade!” Law suit begins.
except styles change I have lamps out of torn down mansions that at the time were not wanted
I'm so impressed with the support ribs. It must have been very heavy!
“Good to know“??? Understatement of the century.
It was on eBay before the camera even stopped rolling.
Hahaha, I get the feeling $150k is not a lot of money to her. 😂
Yes! She put it in her sun porch.
My sun porch is 10x12 and aluminum. If I hung it from the ceiling, the roof would cave in. 🤣
And hung it in her loft in the barn lol
So did the appraiser when she under-valued it. The gallery she works for was almost certainly trying to buy it from her at a lowball price.
@@AFAskygoddess lol!
Yeah her family has prolly been stealing stuff for decades.
“Good to know”😂 I would have fainted if that was me
What a piece ! Unbelievable. Beautiful in every way.
That lady sure said "yeah" a lot.
One of my favorite ARS videos. Just a fantastic piece, one-of-a-kind
Yeah, good to know.
It always reminds me of the Frazier episode where they took the bear statue on the show. I'd be freaking out regardless.
hopefully not moving it into the barn anymore
Haha
Best to be grateful that she shared this with the world rather than judging this lady.
She's sharing it? I wasn't aware I get to have it in my apartment for a while. Could you give me the dates when I am expected to be its caretaker? That's funny. Most lampshades are three dimensional objects. This is only two-dimensional on my screen. And the appraiser said that it was 33" in diameter. It's only a couple of inches in diameter on my screen. Maybe the appraiser was exaggerating a bit. Then again, the appraiser is only four inches tall herself.
Now perhaps the woman has given the object to a museum. That would sort of be sharing it with the world, though how many people in the world are actually going to see it at the museum?
What she has done is to share a series of pictures of the lampshade that make up four minutes of video with the world, or at least the people who have the money and the broadband connection to see them. I no more feel that I own a piece of that object than I feel I am part of Joe Biden's family by watching him on TV. If your friend in 1st grade said he/she was going to share a cupcake with you and then showed you a photo of a cupcake, or even a TV commercial featuring the cupcake, would you be grateful?
Mind you, the owner didn't claim to be sharing it with the world. She was just coming to get it appraised. She may not have even known ahead of time that it was going to make the cut to the actual TV program. Indeed, if it hadn't been genuine, it probably wouldn't have been shown and she would have gone back to sharing it with chickens or her dining guests, so it's hard to imagine her intent was to share it with the world.
Great drinking game have a shot for every “yeah”.
I was pissed 2 1/2 min in 🤪
Oh good, glad it wasn't just me. I even said "shush lady" out loud. Lol
Yeah
Oh wow...
I went back and she said “yeah” 19 times 😂
19? That's it? I'll take your word for it. I can't listen to that again.
Good to know grandpa finally stole something of value she meant to say. 🙄
I think what most likely happened was, the place was either going to be torn down or gutted, and the property owner told him he could take what he wanted, because it was going to be trashed anyway. This was very common in the mid-20th century, before there was a desire to maintain and restore old buildings, architecture, furniture, etc.
Another Great Episode! Thank You and BLESS YOU!
Thanks for the quality programming.
This is such a good show!
Grandpa definitely stole that lamp.
This screams quality from every angle.
How the heck did she transport this piece? My heart stops when i think of that
Laid across the back set of an old mini van with pop cans and fastfood bags to prop it up.
It sounds like this ladies Family was actually hiding the Tiffany piece!
"I dont know how he came to have it" lol
No, this is what happened to Tiffany glass, lamps, windows etc after LCT died and his work fell out of fashion. Seventy five years later it was repopularized by a small handful of female collectors in and around NYC. The gallery the appraiser works for was founded by one of these women. The appraiser, however, knows 150k is lowball.
@@historyiwitness5915 It was when she said they stored it in the chicken coup, which made it all odd to me!
@@historyiwitness5915NO. IT WAS STOLEN.
Expensive porch ornament. All those storms outside and never knowing their mortgage was swinging in the breeze 🤣
Her response of $100K - $150K didn't even raise her eyebrow. Now ain't we special.🥳
She must be well off.
@@sstills951 lol, its valuation was a bit less than I'd expected.. maybe that was her thoughts as well?
But for sure she has that pinky out vibe about her, and her manner of speech.
Not everyone goes ape shoot over money. A good friend, of modest means, just inherited quite a fortune. His reaction was, "Well that will be nice for my children."
Yes, she should have screamed and vomited.
@@Imnotplayinganymore Yes, that is true. And, not everyone steals or wants to commit insurance fraud as some imply.
Arlie Sulka can turn even a boring AR guest into a compelling bit of television.
Yeah.
With her intentionally lowball appraisal of this shade?
It is beautiful. My mum was always into tiffany shades and I can absolutely see why. Not surprised at the cost. Its fairly reasonable.
Absolutely stunning.
Good to know means not for sale ever.
Masterful genius!
Idk how I got here but I’m watching the whole thing
Me: "THATs CRazYYY!! SO mUCH MONEY!!
Her: "good to know"
OMG it's really beautiful!!!!!!
yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah...
Yeah!
i didn't notice
@@fmcdomer oh
Magnificent Light.
Beautiful
It's amazing that they know everything
They research things before taping the show with the owners.
Except how to legitimately appraise a very rare lampshade. This was a lowball appraisal that the gallery's appraiser hoped would slip by without notice.
Good to know.
Now that's a birdbath!
What a lovely hanging shade (it wouldn't work in our dining room, with its 8-foot ceiling...). I would NEVER relegate this light shade to a chicken coop or attic--I'd put it on a easel or other vertical/inclined stand--it's too pretty.
Go, Arlie!!
"Good to know" 🤣 (rushes home to add an insurance rider)
My husband worked for a architectural firm in Ann Arbor michigan, the firm brought a old church to use as a office, when they were renovating the small chapel and behind one wall was a stain glass window depicting an angel and baby. It was donated by a woman to memorialize her child whom had died almost a hundred years ago. Well the small window was a Tiffany! And probably worth more then the building!
And just recently (May 2023) an antique dealer, not someone who deals in stain glass. Brought two windows out of of a church in Philadelphia that was slated to be removed with a sledgehammer! He payed six grand and it took weeks to get them out intact. He took them to an auction house and they were Tiffany! Worth around 250.000 thousand each! They are simply stunning!
Too many times on this program I have seen people who have amazing pieces like this, or FANTASTIC jewelry and.... They completely mistreat or at least disrespect the simple beauty of the objects !
I’ll go easier on this lady. She does have a slightly annoying habit of affirming what she hears as some intent listeners do, but I think she was genuinely expressing dry humor when she said “good to know.” I’m happy she can finally and appropriately display a family inheritance that she admitted knowing nothing about but can now treasure AND enjoy.
I have to agree with you @Donna Greene-Salter.. I've viewed more AR (both US & UK) than is normal, for someone my age and have been watching for decades (& still watching).
The opening theme music is starting to feel like a burn on me.. "Haha, you're an old woman" no, I'm a middle aged woman!
Dear Donna G.
👍👌👏 You are absolutely right! I couldn't concentrate on what the expert lady said. Good grief! People who think it is necessary to "comment" each and every sentence (and even in nearly every half of the sentences) with "ja" are simply very annoying and respectless.
Best regards, luck and health.
Yeah, it's obviously not there so she can put a price tag on it....she just wanted some history on it.
And now....an insurance policy. LFMAO
Common folk would have never known this thing was worth anything. This was something special to this woman. She wasn't looking for a money grab, like the filthy animals of the world would.
Yeah
I was waiting for it to fall off and break mid sentence/ appraisal. Followed by the theme song to Benny Hill shortly after.
I'm afraid just looking at the shade on UA-cam how vulnerable it is! How on earth did it, does it survive so much neglect and handling for over a century!! Stay safe beautiful Tiffany shade!!
Seems more then a bit strange.
Explained at the end by the support structure and being built like a brick out....chicken coop.
And you have it in the attic. 😮
you can always tell when a guest is disappointed that the price isn't as high as they wanted it to be
In this case its because the shade has been sorely undervalued. Lillian Nassau's gallery knows this is worth much more to a private collector and the owner may have had it checked out before she went on the show. The gallery was trying to get it at a low low price and betting dollars to donuts Ms. Sulka tried to buy it right after the filming.
@ran196. I completely disagree if you watch the UK Antique Roadshow the guests especially from the 1990s are always underwhelmed. Even with great appraisals.
Either that, or she's so filthy rich she'd pretty much be unimpressed by any number.
I remember a Tiffany table lamp auctioned for one million
@@danacaro-herman3530 are they allowed to do that?
Just give it to a museum.
I hope her dining room is big enough to accommodate such a piece. It would worry me to have something that fragile and valuable in my home.
I live near there. Wonder who the original owner was and what house it was in.
"It's worth between 100 to 150 thousand."
"Yeah ok...let's see, got to pick up the dry cleaning later..."
Take a shot every time she says "yeah"
Seems to me, she knew what she already had there and was just underwhelmed at it's value.
If you look at the thumbnail her mouth is open in shock. My guess is they allowed her to “redo“ her reaction because she was embarrassed and edited the first one out.
I agree, she had an idea.
@@jakegolding8388 The thumbnail is from 0:54
She likely did. Lillian Nassau's gallery knows 150k is far below the value of this shade and they were likely trying to buy it from her at a steal. They would sell this privately for 3x that amount.
Whenever they say “good to know”, You know they’re disappointed !
Most expensive chicken coop, porch, and barn light ever! What a find.
“Somehow he got it”. That sounds a lot like……theft……possibly.
100k piece of glass... 'good to know' crazyyyy
This shade is absolutely beautiful, the combination of colours and the soldering itself point to Tiffany. I hope she donates it to a Tiffany museum
Gorgeous 🥰🥰
Good to know, she says. One wonders her meaning.
Yeah!
Wow!!!!!
What a strange reaction from the owner when told the value.
Yep she definitely already has serious money
Oh 100k, good to know
$150k? You've got to be kidding. A relative of ours was one of Lillian Nassau's closest colleagues (and competitors). Ms. Sulka is/was appropriately impressed by this shade. Problem is her estimate of value. It's 150k if the owner sells it to Nassau's gallery later the same day. Nassau will then sell for $350-450k, privately. End of story. The owner hopefully sends it to a public auction.
"Yeah," said the shade owner, 489 times.
"Good to know." WTF???? She does not deserve this fine piece!
I'm in NY too
That was the most underwhelming response to a price estimate I’ve ever seen, and that was disappointing to me.
When you think something is "Tiffany like" and dont believe it is Tiffany (and therefore not worth much) you think knowing it is, in fact, Tiffany and worth such a huge amount, for a piece so carelessly cared for by her grandparents and parents, that you would say a little more than "good to know". Its ok to be excited and pleased.
After Louis Comfort Tiffany died, many many of his creations were treated the exact same way. It would be wrong to think his glass remained popular from then until now. It didn't. In fact, it fell completely out of style and nobody was displaying it anymore. Shades, windows, favrile glass...it all went into the "out of vogue" bin and for more than 50 years after Tiffany died, nobody cared. Then in the 1960s a small handful of female collectors (which included Lillian Nassau, whose gallery this appraiser works for) began re-popularizing the medium and thanks to them a huge market exists today. HOWEVER, the appraiser knows very well that this shade is worth much more than 150k and a "shame on them" is somewhat appropriate here.
@@historyiwitness5915 Thanks for this information. Very helpful. I think the clip is not 2022 - hence the appraisal..I think it from a way back.
Stop throwing commas around ffs.
@@poeticserenade Triggered by commas? Who, would, have, thought?
@@lucindaarmour4685 commas aren't supposed to be used when you physically say "uhh"
I wished my Grandfather nicked something like this back in the day...pops did well with his 5 finger discount
She was emotionless LOL
Even though thinking it is more likely Tiffany but not giving any way to confirm it, would be nice if you informed people of who else was working at that time could also have produced the shade
No one was. It's Tiffany. Compare it to others such as John LaFarge and there is no confusion.
Omg!
I have a lamp that's unsigned that came from my grandparents. I thought it might be a Tiffany lamp but online sites say that they're all signed.
New drinking game, take a shot every time the lady says "yeah".
That was one well decorated chicken shed.
I have just one word, "Yeah."
yeah
After hearing the princely sum the shade is worth all this lady could muster was a fairly emotionless good to know... She must be stinking rich already
Drinking game, drink everytime you hear "yea"
* hic *
“good to know”
"yeah...yeah, yeah...yeah... yeah- yeah- yeah..." "Good to know."
Grandpa stole it when the owners died.
