Antiques Roadshow guest tearful finding out value of late grandmothers painting
Antiques Roadshow: Guest gets emotional due to valuation
Antiques Roadshow didn’t have a dry eye in sight after a guest took to the show to find out the value of her late grandmother’s painting.
The guest revealed the painting hung over her bed for many years and she was given it after she died.
She then shared a story of finding a mosquito behind the painting leading her to open it up, but she realized it could be a real painting so she quickly closed it back up.
It reportedly had been appraised for $250 in 2004, but its value now could not be something the guest would have guessed.
The painting is labeled to be by H.F. Farny and the year 1892, with the guest knowing little about the history.

The valuer spoke about Henry Francois Farny, who was born in France and came to Pennsylvania when he was about six years old.
He was fascinated with the Indian tribes, and the guest had a painting from his most prolific time.
The valuer then proceeded to share that the value of the painting was anywhere between $200,000 and $300,000 if it was put up for auction when this was filmed, in 2018.

@Didier2124 said: “The appraiser has no ego; she understands that it’s this girl’s moment and allows her to process it as she needs to, a magnificent connection to others. Great job Meredith.”
@LFortune added: “This is one of the most charming Roadshow appraisals in their history. I think her response has so much to do with her relationship and love for her grandmother. So sweet.”
@Mikebrisebois commented: “‘So I can’t hang it up’. That made me tear up. It really shows you where her heart lies. Poor girl. The memories and nostalgia of her grandmother will no longer be a comforting reminder hanging on the wall. I think it may have hurt her. She has a wonderful heart.”
