Antiques Roadshow guest left STUNNED and jokes ‘don’t tell my wife’ after learning the HUGE value of ancient print

An Antiques Roadshow guest was stunned to discover the enormous value of his old print collection during Sunday’s show.

In the final episode, members of the public brought their valuables to Pollok Park in Glasgow, while one man took a selection of pages from books from the 15th century.

Expert Matthew Haley labeled them ‘absolute gold dust’ and revealed that the collection included some of the ‘oldest prints ever’ featured on the BBC show.

The guest then explained how his wife had purchased the items for him because of his history in the printing industry.

Matthew said: ‘There’s a piece of paper here that was printed in 1470, 550 years ago,’ before revealing that one page had been printed by William Caxton, the first person to print in Britain in 1482.

The final episode saw members of the public taking their valuables to Pollok Park in Glasgow, with one man taking a selection of pages from books dating from the 15th century.

Commenting on the valuation, he said: ‘Just one sheet from this book printed by William Caxton – just one sheet by itself at auction would fetch about £600-1000.’

Before we go any further: ‘I think if you add it all up, the individual values ​​of these leaves, you end up somewhere between £5,000 and £10,000.’

Stunned, the guest joked, “Don’t tell the woman.”

It comes after another Antiques Roadshow guest was left completely shocked at the enormous value of her ‘ugly’ lamp she discovered while out for a walk.

Expert Arlie Sulka evaluated the unusual item when the hit show visited the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona.

In the US version of the BBC series, the guest explained: ‘I was taking a walk in the morning and when I got about four houses down from where I live, there was a sign that said ‘Free’.

“And so I walked past it the first day, and the second day I thought about it again, and I thought, ‘Well, I’ll take this.’ And it’s pretty ugly, but I could give it to someone, but it’s a lamp, so I’ll just take it.

“So when I brought it home, I ran to my neighbor and asked him if he could cut the cord and fix it.

On the valuation he said: ‘I think if you put it all together, the individual values ​​of these leaves, you would end up with somewhere between £5,000 and £10,000’

Stunned, the guest joked: ‘Don’t tell the woman’

“He said the plug alone is very old and that I should wait and learn more about the bulb before cutting it off.”

The Antiques Roadshow expert revealed it was a Louis Comfort Tiffany lamp made by Louis C. Tiffany Furnaces Inc.

Arlie said, “You have a gilt bronze base with an enamel design around the base and then what we call a damascene blown glass shade with a beautiful iridescence on the outside.”

The expert explained that each lamp has different colors and that with each color the value of the lamp differs.

Arlie noted that the caramel color, which the guest owned, was “very desirable,” she added, “because it is intact and the shade is one of the better colors.”

There was also a mark inside that read “LCT Favrile,” which the expert said showed the lamp was “homemade.”

Revealing the item’s staggering value, Arlie said: “In a store something like this could sell for between $10,000 and $15,000.”

The guest burst into tears, was shocked and said, “Oh my God.”
