APPRAISER: Can you tell me when you got this?
GUEST: Probably 2018 or '19.
APPRAISER: It's an absolutely exquisite Art Deco purse.
This is a lovely little giardinetto decoration on the front.
"Giardinetto" actually means "little garden" in Italian and it's constructed in platinum, gorgeous carved rock crystal, rubies, emeralds, sapphires and old European cut diamonds.
This style in the Art Deco period would be known as Tutti Frutti.
And it was made really popular by a specific maker, Cartier.
So right when you brought this to the table, I immediately thought to myself, is that Cartier?
Fortunately, because the piece is sewn on to the front and we can't see the back of it to see how it's marked.
When I opened up the bag, I saw here that it's signed Cartier.
While we can't say for certain without flipping it over and seeing the reverse, I believe it's probably Cartier France.
Do you remember what you paid for this?
GUEST: $1.50.
APPRAISER: And do you have any idea of what you think it's worth?
GUEST: I was, I was hoping maybe $2,000 or $3,000.
APPRAISER: Conservatively in an auction situation today, it's worth about $35,000.
And that's fair market value.
GUEST: Wow.
Well, that’s something.
Sorry.
APPRAISER: No, it's wonderful.
You're an expert looker, and a wonderful picker, and you have an incredible eye to be able to spot this.
GUEST: Thank you.
APPRAISER: Um, insurance would easily be over $100,000.
GUEST: Ooh whee.
Wow.
Wow, it was worth the trip.
It's been so much fun, I've had, we've just been treated like royalty and I just feel so welcomed.
APPRAISER: Oh, I'm so glad.
I'm so happy for you.
It's been so hard not telling you for the last three hours.
(chuckles) GUEST: (sniffles) Wow.
Phew!
