All valuations were correct at the time of broadcast. This lady brought in a box of gold jewellery for the Antiques Roadshow expert to look at, but it was actually the necklace she was wearing that intrigued the expert most. Dating from about 1840, it has a surprising valuation that shocks the owner. Hugh Scully and the experts from Antiques Roadshow take a look at some fantastic antiques and the history and stories surrounding them. This clip was filmed in Lyme Park in 1999.

In 1974, my parents bought several boxes from railroad freight….sight unseen, all they knew it was bedroom furniture. They paid $175. They gave it to me for my daughter. It was heavy, Queen Anne design, years and years of paint, layered over and over. It took me two years to strip it and clean up the pieces. It was a dresser, chest of drawers, vanity, mirror, seat, night stand and head board, solid walnut, even the back was finished. It was accented with oak burl. I had it appraised and it appraised for $16,000 in 1976. We sold it years later for $26,000. My parents didn’t live to see that, sadly.

@@spacecadet2172 - Lol, probably would have increased in value, but not that much. It was absolutely gorgeous furniture, museum quality. When my daughter was little she hated it, it was too “adult” and old fashioned. All her friends had white bedroom sets and frilly stuff. By the time she was a teen, she loved it.

After my mom died, she had an old fashioned case of jewelry, some from her grandmother, she never wore it because she thought they were too gaudy. A couple of brooches were $2,000, and her wedding ring 55 years old was $7500. But we laughed because the appraiser also had pieces from Avon in the case, but we didn't know and still paid the $25 for each item appraised.
