An Antiques Roadshow guest was left gobsmacked after learning that her late father's sculpture could cover her mother's retirement costs, following a staggering valuation on the PBS show.
In a playful exchange, Eric Silver joked: "And you say you knocked it over last week? " The guest, unaware of the treasure she held, responded: "No, my cats knocked it over." Eric Silver then went on to note that Harriet Frishmuth's creations were once showcased at the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, underlining her acclaim in the art world. Yet, there was more astonishment to come for the guest as the Antiques Roadshow USA expert prepared to disclose the estimated auction value of the piece.
The guest was visibly shocked when Eric revealed a staggering valuation, saying: "It's beautifully cast, the patina is in very good condition. At auction, a piece like this would probably bring between $20,000 and $30,000 ."
