Antiques Roadshow Trivia...

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at the Antiques Roadshow and how they choose which items will air on television? For those of us who love to watch the show, I thought I would share some trivia I recently read about it.

According to one of the appraisers, 99% of the thousands of items appraised before the show are junk! By the time the show airs, we only see a small fraction of what comes in, based on most valuable, the strangest, and what people may think are worth thousands end up being fakes to their dismay.

For most of the participants, this is where dreams die. They've been told their whole life that this is a precious family heirloom, then they find out it's not. It's only worth sentimental value...bummer. If nothing else, this process teaches a lesson about the peril of allowing someone else to determine the value of something you love.

We have had people come to our own "Roadshow" that we host here at Monticello every other month with appraiser Terra Goodman, ISA, and leave disappointed because what they thought was a real antique ended up being a fake or reproduction. Sorry people, their are a lot of fakes and reproductions out there. Before you buy and spend a lot of money, do your homework, do your research, asked questions. Just because it looks like the picture in the book, doesn't mean it's just as valuable.

Do you ever wonder how funiture is selected to be brought in for the show? A photograph is sent in to the local station. If it looks interesting, the station transports it to the show.

Appraisers are not allowed to buy items directly from the people who come to the show. The Roadshow has strict rules about this. The appraisers that appear on the show pay their own expenses for travel, but it's good advertisement for them and their business. Most are professional dealers themselves.

I was lucky enough to get tickets to the Portland Antiques Roadshow back in 1998 and found out my little homemade dough box was worth $150. I paid $3 for it at a yard sale! It ended up being featured in Cottage Living Magazine.


Happy Hunting Everyone! ..Joyce

Appraisal Day May 31st....

Summer Visions....


Summer Flowers 001, originally uploaded by monticelloantiques.

I think mother nature missed Spring and jumped right in to Summer! It's 90+ degrees today and two days ago, it was only in the 50's. What happened! Anyway, I thought this lavendar wisteria said it all.

We held our monthly dealer night last night and a lot of cool stuff came in. Also this week, we got a lot of new arrivals in the Salvage Garden so come see what's new at Monticello this weekend!

Happy Mother's Day...

The forecast is calling for clouds and rain on Mother's Day but at Monticello it's going to be sunny and warm! The birds are singing in the garden room and the Home & Garden Show is going on through Mother's Day. Bring mom in for lunch and then stroll down memory lane where she'll find past and present treasures for the home and garden. We have fresh plants and flower arrangements for mom too. Happy Mother's Day!

Remember Mom on Mother's Day...

Be good to your mother and remember all that she has taught you through life, all the lessons you have learned, and all the love and support she has given you. My mother lost her battle with cancer at the early age of 47. I missed out on so many special moments and being able to share life with her. Do not take her for granted and appreciate every moment with her. Make Mother's Day her special day.

Mother's Day is Coming.....

You're sure to find something for your deserving mother, or better yet, bring her in on Mother's Day and let her browse through the aisles for that special something. Then take a break and have lunch in our Cafe. Monti's Cafe has great lunch specials and great pastries baked fresh daily.
