GUEST: I'm almost embarrassed. I bought them to sell, but my husband said, "No, I wanna keep those," and I said, "okay, we can. It was your money anyway, so..." It belonged to an artist in Granbury. She died in 2006 and I went to her auction because she was a neighbor and fellow artist. I was trying to be cool, but the rest of the antiques at the sale were going crazy so they started the bidding at 50, but I thought, well, I'll just kind of sit here and wait. And he dropped the bidding to $10 and then I bid 10, somebody bid 12, I bid 15, and he waited for somebody else to bid and nobody else did, and so he said, "Sold!" and I said okay, I'll take all four.
And I've had them for 10 years, and we keep all our records and our record player, and my husband has over a thousand records. Peter said that that was what specifically they were made for: to keep records and record players, so that's kind of perfect! Executive producer Marsha Bemko shares her tips for getting the most out of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW. The value of an item is dependent upon many things, including the condition of the object itself, trends in the market for that kind of object, and the location where the item will be sold. These are just some of the reasons why the answer to the question "What's it worth?" is so often "It depends." Take note of the date the appraisal was recorded. This information appears in the upper left corner of the page, with the label "Appraised On." change over time according to market forces, so the current value of the item could be higher, lower, or the same as when our expert first appraised it.Most of our experts will give appraisal values in context.
For example, you'll often hear them say what an item is worth "at auction," or "retail," or "for insurance purposes" (replacement value). Retail prices are different from wholesale prices. Often an auctioneer will talk about what she knows best: the auction market. A shop owner will usually talk about what he knows best: the retail price he'd place on the object in his shop. there are no hard and fast rules, an object's auction price can often be half its retail value; yet for other objects, an auction price could be higherAs a rule, however, retail and insurance/replacement values are about the same. The values given by the experts on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW are considered "verbal approximations of value." Technically, an "appraisal" is a legal document, generally for insurance purposes, written by a qualified expert and paid for by the owner of the item. An appraisal usually involves an extensive amount of research to establish authenticity, provenance, composition, method of construction, and other important attributes of a particular object.
As with all appraisals, the verbal approximations of value given at ROADSHOW events are our experts' opinions formed from their knowledge of antiques and collectibles, market trends, and other factors. Although our valuations are based on research and experience, opinions can, and sometimes do, vary among Finally, the affiliation of the appraiser may have changed since the appraisal was recorded.

Working with legendary designers such as Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson and Alexander Girard, the Zeeland, Michigan-based firm fostered some of the boldest expressions of what we now call Mid-Century Modern style. In doing so, Herman Miller produced some of the most beautiful, iconic and, one can even say, noblest furniture of the past seven decades.
Founded in 1923, Herman Miller was originally known for grand historicist bedroom suites: heavily ornamented wood furniture that appealed to a high-minded, wealthier clientele. The company—named for its chief financial backer—began to suffer in the early 1930s as the Great Depression hit, and D. J. De Pree, the company’s CEO, feared bankruptcy. In 1932, aid came in the form of Gilbert Rohde, a self-taught furniture designer who had traveled widely in Europe, absorbing details of the Art Deco movement and other modernist influences. After persuading De Pree that the growing middle-class required smaller, lighter household furnishings, Rohde set a new course for Herman Miller, creating sleek chairs, tables and cabinetry that were the essence of the Streamline Moderne style. Rohde died suddenly in 1944. The following year, De Pree turned to George Nelson, an architect who had written widely about modern furniture design. Under Nelson’s leadership, Herman Miller would embrace new technologies and materials and audacious biomorphic forms.
