PBS Television's "Antiques Roadshow" visits cities around the U.S., inviting people to bring family heirlooms and flea market finds for a free appraisal by experts from the leading auction houses and independent appraisers.
And soon, a new line of furniture, based on pieces seen on the "Roadshow" TV program, will be coming to a retail outlet near you. The collection is "inspired by the historical and decorative treasures discovered by Antiques Roadshow on its journey across America," said Betsy Groban, Managing Director of WGBH Enterprises. "Each skillfully designed piece of furniture recaptures the artistry and craftsmanship of a particular time and place, with impeccable attention to detail."
Virginia-based Pulaski Furniture was chosen to produce the furniture, and will start with a collection of approximately 50-55 pieces. The collection will debut at the International Home Furnishings Market in High Point, North Carolina in April, and will consist mostly of American designs. No price points have yet been set for the furniture, but part of the proceeds will go to PBS.
