It was $25, and I didn't even argue, I just bought it.
And the woman said it was inexpensive because she didn't have the shade for it.
And I thought it was from the '30s because of the cord, and I thought maybe the glass was like a fluorine glass, which I know Tiffany.
So I was hoping it was a Tiffany or a Handel, but I couldn't find any marks on it.
APPRAISER: Well, fortunately, you allowed me to take this apart earlier.
You were very kind about it.
And the reason I wanted to take it apart is because I suspected that it was Tiffany, and, lo and behold, yes, it is a Tiffany.
GUEST: Oh, my God.
APPRAISER: It's called an arrowhead, and it's a bronze and a mosaic base.
And this was a very early piece.
It was originally intended to be used as an oil lamp, and at some point, maybe in the '30s, I don't know, someone put on this base on the bottom and put this very strange (laughing) socket on.
Didn't do the best job.
Ordinarily, when somebody would rewire something like this, they would actually put the wire up through the top so that you wouldn't drill it.
And by drilling it, that's not such a great thing.
We don't have the shade.
But despite all that, um, I would put a value of this at $50,000.
GUEST: What?!
APPRAISER: Yes.
GUEST: What?!
APPRAISER: Yes.
GUEST: Oh, my God, you're kidding!
APPRAISER: I...I I I'm definitely not kidding.
GUEST: Oh, my God, oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
APPRAISER: You're a good shopper GUEST: Oh, my God!
