the nervousness of the two girls is so charming

Arlie is just pure class, she's so friendly and full of information. A pleasure to watch her work.

Got me crying along with those girls 😭

Love how the two sisters are in such sync. One stops talking and the other immediately takes over. The force is strong with these women. Mother would be proud.

The AR specialists are like the purest people on earth - so humble when they find something historically significant and so happy to deliver good news. I love this show, it's all peace and knowledge. Bless you

I played a comedy sketch in my head...she goes to hug them and knocks over the lamp. I've been watching too many episodes of the Three stooges...😂 I'm happy for them. It is beautiful.

Arlie Sulka is great such a wealth of knowledge and so humble, and personable.

one of my favourite bits of road-show appraisals is what I sometimes mentally refer to as the 'college tuition cry'... that moment when you see a person just breaking down, imagining their entire life being able to transform in some way, because of the financial windfall that they never knew they had.

How much fun would it be to be able to give good news like that? Gotta be a great feeling.

These girls, whatever tragedy they faced before finding this out, I sincerely hope it is now behind them. The look they shared of was of both pain and relief... May their lives be bettered not just by this lamp.

That is the sweetest appraisal I've ever seen on the show.

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.

More Arlie Sulka! By far my favorite appraiser on The Roadshow 👍

I saw this when it was first aired, & still remembered it around a decade later when it was aired again, because it was so powerful. What a thrill to see these two sisters so overcome with happiness!

It's obvious that they are sisters, and I am so happy for them, as they were so humble and so very grateful. 👍

Arlie Sulka is one of my favorite appraisers on Roadshow.

Arlie is so cute and this is one of my favorite segments ♥️

How can you not love these two ( formerly rambunctious) sisters wearing their hearts on their shirtsleeves. They really are cute. Great appraisers. Love the antiques roadshow!!😱😢😪😀

This is one of my all-time favorite appraisals on this show! Just LOVED the excitement of everyone and oh my, what a LOVELY Tiffany lamp!!

This is probably the best ARS surprise appraisal moment ever. These sisters are totally overcome with multiple emotions.

Ah the good ol days, when you could hug people. 😣

That’s so awesome when you see someone who is actually Grateful and brought to tears by such wonderful news as this, and you know those tears are for their mother who made this all possible 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

These clips are so soothing. Reminds me how long time goes on and takes me out of my anxieties a bit!

Yes! I’ve been searching for this roadshow clip I remember seeing so long ago, the ladies’ reactions are so touching, such poignancy remembering their mother & seeing that something she valued so much also had great monetary value

Wow. That is a beautiful lamp. And the reaction of the 2 daughters/sisters--priceless.

That is so touching to see - that money actually means something to those sisters - hearing the (younger?) sister just sobbing broke my heart and is so pure. I also think it was thought of as a last gift from their mother, which is rather beautiful.

These women loved their mother, truly.

So nice to see strangers hug in the age of COVID!

This one never gets old.

That was probably my favorite antique roadshow reaction and I’ve watched over 100 videos

And I've loved you since 1998 ...thank you

The reaction to the value is precious omg had a little tear myself, brilliant.

A very favorite episode on ARS.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Arlie is an absolute diamond of a person, she really puts everything she has into AR and is great.

Arlie Sulka is even more beautiful than in her yesterdays... Such a sweet, classy Lady.

Ok... I just got all teary eyed... how lovely!

I remember this appraisal well because the sisters were so emotional and for me it seemed perhaps their mother had recently died which would explain how close to the surface their emotions were when having an item so closely associated with their mother appraised. Very touching.

The blond on the right looked like me when I was walking my youngest daughter up the aisle at her wedding. I could barely contain myself. Congrats on the lamp. Really great!

Completely and entirely fantastic! The the lamp is great but the sisters are priceless!

Amazing piece of art

Oh, wow. Put a tear in MY eye!

Great find, and quite emotional too!

why we watch ARS good for them!! arlie is a sweetheart too. she should be a hand model. always sporting a flawless manicure. that louis comfort tiffany knew what he was doing.

I love this Extraordinary Finds format.

Arlie is one of my favorites!!!

These episodes are highly addictive.

by far the best reaction EVER!!

“I have to give you girls a hug!” The way she swung those arms out, I thought she was going to send the lamp flying!!!

Wow, just wow! That lamp is so stunning!

That is the most beautiful lamp I have ever seen!

WOW ! Simply amazing. Thanks

They made me cry.

🌹💙 Only an Art person would understand not needing to eat when seeing this lamp. Made my day;) 👍

I love, love love that lamp. It's beautiful.

"It was 2:45pm in the afternoon"...

GORGEOUS!

Beautiful, congratulations!

And she finally got the one that she had been wanting to see since day one and that was the Tiffany Lava vase.

All I could think of was 'where did Arlie get her gorgeous suit?' Also Arlie's next huge hit was the Tiffany crate with its contents!

I remember walking into a home in West Springfield Massachusetts MANY years ago now while working as a carpenter to install new windows for Window World and I was instantly shocked. There was amazing things inside that I then knew why his windows all had bars over them from the inside of the home.. 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...

Pretty cool when you find out your mother had a down payment on a nice home sitting on a shelf for you and your sister.

I love this lady

Beautiful lamp!!!

Fascinationg to see Arlie Sulka's speech get slower through the years, to where her presentations contained much more measured speech. I guess that happens with most people, but here speech pattern and speed totally changed as time went on.

One great story!

I am a hard man. A cold man. A jaded man. But this is my favorite moment from A. R., and there’s a lot of pent up feelings with these two sister, and I cry every....single....time....that they hear the price.

amazing....I always keep my open at flea markets and yard sale..

Love Arlie and Tiffany!

Wow!!!! CONGRATULATIONS

Gorgeous lamp.

wow, the lamp is beautiful.

The appraiser was so excited she was really quick on talking the girls through it

....I’m crying too!

So sweet.

the first big one i saw ands still my favorite.

I’m surprised she said that was her most memorable especially when that other lady came in to a show once with a Tiffany shipping crate with 4 vases. That was something.

Young Arlie was fire.

Happy for them.. Mom took care of them for sure

Loved they're reaction🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Dude this had me sobbing

There was one of these shows where someone bought a house, and they asked the buyer if they could include the lamp in the sale. The seller agreed. The lamp turned out to be worth as much as the house itself.

My local museum (VMFA) would buy this up for more. They have a huge Tiffany collection.

You can hear the excitement in the appraisers voice the whole way through

I don't care WHAT size apartment I have, I would NEVER part wth such a gorgeous lamp!

Yeah , forget the lamp, the lady has aged beautifully.

I cried when they cried 😭😭

I swear my friend aunt has 3 lamps like this in her house!!!

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.

WOW!

I bought four museum reproductions of Tiffany lamps. Not this design but still nice. They were factory seconds. I paid $20 each for them. I carefully examined them and found the only flaws were that some of the glass was coming loose so I repaired them and kept them in my home and was the envy of my family. Ten years later when I had to down size I sold them for $2000 for the set to an antique dealer who had them in his shop the following week for $1200 each. That was five years ago. I think he was over charging but then I was going to ask $500 for the set and his opening offer was for $2000. I was too shocked to think to negotiate higher. Even a good reproduction of a Tiffany lamp has value. Mine were made from quality stained glass and the base and fittings were real bronze with a good patina so they weren't junk. I just had no idea. The business where I got them from was a salvage company who bought up large lots of merchandise mostly from insurance companies and liquidators and sold good stuff cheap.

We don’t use the expression “as right as rain” enough.

I am not crying, you are crying..

I wonder if they ever sold it, and how much they made doing so.

I love how the sisters complete each others' sentences... ;-) Twins?

Arlie Sulka is very knowledgeable, genuine, precise and straight-forward. She took over the Lillian Nassau's Tiffany-specializing shop in Manhattan if I remember decades ago now. However, the mother's story just does NOT pass the muster esp given Florida scene. People, stay in touch with your old folks and know who is around them when they are living away in retirement. Unfortunately, too many elderly get to depend on others - mostly good ppl but sometimes scavengers. Heard stories all the time how elderly easily extorted or scammed. Note the mother had kept the lamp out of sight for good 30 years since purchase and still did not come forward -- perhaps such as not to be recognized by anyone especially the previous owner's family??? My guess would be the mother passed away or did not explicitly tell these girls not to be filmed -- this is way back from early ARS days. Could it be that lamp was "bought" from an aging+forgetful or suddenly-deceased lady with no family around? Also, hard to believe that a well-to-do woman with family Tiffany lamp, who kept it with herself for this long, would have given it away for $125 -- yes, even in 60's. And, a Tiffany lamp is never "too large" even for a retirement coastal condo or studio apt to be given away like the mother's account of the story. Fishy, fishy, fishy - to say the least!!! PS. -This recording does not have girls' reference to the lamp stowed away for 30 years. -Either lamp was in the family since original purchase by lady's grandfather or if purchased later the price would be even more handsome to vividly remembered. Mostly purchased and kept in up northeasterner and/or wealthy families. This lamp was important enough to be kept and likely taken to FLA when presumably old lady/husband retired. -FYI, both (typically) bronze bases and lampshade rims are clearly stamped 'TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK/model number'.

My favorite of all AR moments. The twins were the star of the show, not the lamp.

0:16 - Thanks for clearing up the fact that "PM" means "afternoon" 🤪

OMG!!!!

I hope the girls held on to this lamp and can sell for big bucks now (well, maybe not right now, but certainly in the near future!).

II have this very shade made in red roses but with a different base. It was made by Paul Crist Studios 1988 or 1989 in Southern California. I wonder what it might be worth today.
