NPT\u2019s Appraisal Day 2017<\/a> is coming up Saturday, June 24, at the Factory at Franklin. At the event, attendees may have up to three or up to six items appraised by regional experts. See what the Appraisal Day<\/strong> experience is like on Monday, June 5, when Robin Sinclair and Sarah Campbell Drury, two of our Appraisal Day<\/strong> experts, will be live in studio during our 7 p.m. broadcast of Antiques Roadshow.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Appraisal Day<\/strong> will include 22 appraisers \u2012 topping last year\u2019s record number \u2012 on hand to offer verbal appraisals of your treasures. Acceptable items<\/a> for assessment include antiques, books, documents, jewelry, militaria, pop culture items, textiles and toys.<\/p>\n

Tickets are $75 for up to three items; $150 for up to six items and are available for either the morning (9-11 a.m.) or afternoon (1-4 p.m.) session. Tickets are available at wnpt.org\/antiques<\/a>. Attendees may bring items on their own or team up with friends to reach the three- or six-item total. All proceeds from Appraisal Day directly support NPT\u2019s entertaining and educational programming for the entire Middle Tennessee community.<\/p>\n

NPT\u2019s Appraisal Day<\/strong> is a family-friendly event that brings together people of many generations to learn about their forebears as they learn about their treasures. At last year\u2019s event, a Mt. Juliet woman learned that paintings by her grandfather, Texas landscape artist Everett Spruce, had monetary as well as sentimental value. Each painting was assessed at between $6,000 and $16,000. Some treasures are lucky finds rather than family heirlooms, such as the 19th-century Polynesian carving a couple purchased for $20 and used as part of the family\u2019s Tiki-style pool d\u00e9cor. They gained new appreciation for the sculpture after it was assessed at $5,000 to $8,000.<\/p>\n
