Interesting article. A number of works of art are discovered that way. Just not DaVinci paintings.

My great-great uncle was an art student in Paris at the turn of the 20th century. He painted a study of the Da Vinci painting below. I have seen the original in Paris hanging next to the Mona Lisa (she now hangs by herself on a wall) and I possess the study. I cannot tell the difference between the two but I'm sure experts could. I laugh and wonder if my great-great uncle coud have switched the pictures when no one was watching and that I have the original.  |

VB-did you see the Antique Roadshow (ARS) episode where a woman brought a small table she bought at a yard sale or church sale for $15-$25?. It was valued by the show for $200,000-$250,000 if sold at auction.
The woman brought it to one of the big auction houses and it sold for $450,000. ARS showed a video of the table being auctioned off and the woman's reaction.

ARS showed a video of the table being auctioned off and the woman's reaction. Yes, they showed the original estimate, and then the footage of the actuial auction. Was glad she got what she did. So many times when they show the original estimate and the new estimate a couple of years later, on updated roadshow valuations it is either the same or down significantly from the oiriginal estimates. I also dislike the estimates they make for insurance purposes only..... |
