However, despite the nice surprise, the owner believed it would be best to keep the archive in the family number nine Little model appearing on the cover of Collier's in 1919.

The little model is a painting by one of America's greatest painters, Norman Rockwell.

By age 14 he was enrolled in art classes.

He actually quit high school so he could go to art school full time, and he became the art director of Boy's life when he was just 18 years old.

The painting was given to Rockwell's and and was passed down until it came into the possession of the current owner.

Another of the American West greatest artists, Frederic Remington, was a painter, illustrator, sculptor and writer.

He is best known for his depictions of Cowboys, First Nations, people and the Army.

This painting is a portrait of the owners, great grandfather as part of a Siris on the military.

Accompanying the painting was a letter describing the subjects and artist relationship as well as their adventures, the letter itself, because it is so intimate and specific.

Owner had previously received an appraisal on the painting, estimating it's worth around $7500.

At the time of the show, it was valued for up to 600 to $800,000.

Anthony Van Dyck Painting Nothing about It I spent 404.

This famous Flemish painter lived from 15 99 to 16 41.

He's known as a Baroque artist and famous for his portrait of Charles, the First of England.

The style of beards that men wore the time eventually became known as the Van Dyke.

Thanks to the artist, the owner of the painting was a priest who bought it at an antique shop for £400.

He thought it was fake until he brought it in for appraisal, where it turns out to be both the genuine work and worth over £400,000.

A mobile is a type of structure that's built in designed to take advantage of balance and equilibrium.

It's made very thin wire and then these air, usually either aluminum or an anodized weather resistant material that slipped in and then very delicately soldered, and you could see in here where all of the knots and joints all put in in a very balancing kind of format.

They're usually free standing structures that either float or hang, and the best example of a mobile is the rotating toy.

People hang above a baby's crib to calm them.

I know that earlier, back in the late eighties or nineties, you had an approximate value of what it was worth, the man who restored it said.

The originator of the mobile is a form of art was American sculptor Alexander Calder, and so it's no great surprise that the peace brought into Antiques Roadshow is valued at over $1 million.

Imagine finding out that those strange looking green things in your closet were worth over $1 million.

When she took her father's jade collection to be evaluated by the people at Antiques Roadshow.

As Children, we heard that some of them had imperial seals and then I'm just always have been curious.

Her father had acquired the items in China while serving in the U.

Generally, you see people who purchased things that China at that period of time, and they purchased things that were very, very poor quality.

Thes things are all very, very fine quality.

As it happened, These valuable pieces are from the 18th century during the Chung Long Dynasty.

It's an incredible collection, and he also bought at a period of time with, I would doubt if he paid more than $100 for any one of these.

Here's hoping she wasn't using them to eat cereal out of Number four l Avenir, Ill.

It's a wonderful period early 20th century painting, but it also gives hints of his mural style, his technique meaning the laborer in Spanish.

This was one of Diego Rivera's earliest paintings.

The style of signature on it means that it's from Rivera's days in school.

For many years, the picture was thought to be lost until it showed up on an episode of Antiques Roadshow through, Ferguson came into possession of the painting which had been hanging behind the door of his great grandparent's house.

It's thought to be the earliest Rivera painting in the United States and is valued at upto $1 million.

Good, good Number three Faberge Flower Brought to the show by Colonel Stanford Cartwright, this ornament was originally gifted to the British squadron Queen's own Worster Sear Hustler's in 1904 by the Countess of Dudley.

That's why we think it was 1904 because that was when they received the battle on South Africa.

Well, it's absolutely bang on for date for the object because some of the best things from Faberge made in the 20th century, crafted by Peter Carl Faberge in Imperial Russia, the five inch ornament sitting in a crystal vase is just one of 80 pieces of its kind.

In addition, the flower was made with a variety of materials, including enamel, gold, diamonds and jade.

Appraiser Geoffrey Munn valued the flower at $1.27 million becoming one of three items toe ever be valued at seven figures on the show.

Well, I supposed to say now it's not for sale.

It's not for sale number two, Angel of the North maquette.

So just to clarify, this is the bronze maquette for the 20 m high steel version.

This market was so heavy that it took five people to carry it on to the showroom floor.

Though massive, it's only a fraction of the size that the full statue would be.

The completed statue ended up being over 66 ft tall, with a wingspan of 177 ft.

This concept piece was brought in and valued at over £1 million which is more than the cost of the actual landmark.

Although it's smaller than the completed piece the MK, it has a unique beauty and presence to it, a sort of deeply emotional sight for something quite so beautiful.
