Antiques Roadshow travelled all the way to Austin where a guest got a hefty valuation on his painting – but despite the big price tag, he refused to sell it for a very sweet reason
An Antiques Roadshow guest was left in a bit of a pickle when they found out they couldn't flog a precious family treasure, even though it came with a hefty price tag.
"Henry Siddons Mowbray was born in, actually, Alexandria, Egypt, in 1858, studied in Paris, and died in 1928." "You were telling me that you would wake up to this painting in your bedroom when you were 16 years old." The expert described the artistic period: "Because it was the American Renaissance period, they were building Renaissance-style architecture and interiors that went along with it."
Rounding up her evaluation, Fesko stated: "It's just a terrific example of the painting and of the period."
