GUEST: Well, my great-grandfather was a surgeon in Kansas City, and this was his lamp.

APPRAISER: Well, it is a Tiffany Studios lamp. Moorish pattern, probably dates from about 1910 or so, I'm not exactly sure. You brought us a photograph showing the lamp in the original interior of the house.

GUEST: Yes.

APPRAISER: Which is really great to see.

GUEST: Good.

APPRAISER: What's nice about this particular example is that it has all its parts. I've never seen a lamp where all the prisms are there. They're reinforced in such a way that they don't fall off. Whereas the other prisms I've seen are usually hooked very flimsily on a little S-hook, and that explains why they're all gone. But that makes this pretty valuable. This particular lamp in the market today in a retail venue, could sell anywhere from $25,000 to $35,000.

GUEST: Great. That's wonderful.
