Today’s video is a very exciting one! Since posting my empty house tour, I received so many comments and messages about how the light fixtures in the home are probably worth a lot of $$$. I tried to do some research on my own but decided to bring in the expert of all experts to help appraise them. Dr. Lori is an appraiser of antiques, collectibles and fine art. She’s basically called the Ph.D. antiques appraiser! I couldn’t believe what some of the light fixtures were worth!! Which fixture is your favorite?

Drew, retired museum curator here. Consider a Fine Arts insurance policy on these valuable lighting fixtures. My museums worked with the Huntington Block agency with Cigna coverage. A fine arts agency is much more knowledgeable and aware of the issues that properly insuring objects like these entail than a standard homeowners insurance underwriter with scheduled items of particular value. Insurance is not just about premiums, but also about service.

@susanfitzgerald2443 Год назад

Great advice!

@Lulusjungle Год назад

Totally agree as someone who has worked in the insurance field. A fine arts insurance is a must. Especially with electricals.

@bethmccall823 Год назад

I was just going to say that you need to insure these fixtures!

@francescox8094 Год назад

Very good advice, he might want to contact the L.A. County Museum research department or the Los Angeles Historical Society as well, I would not be surprised if they don't already have some information about this house. The quality and expense of the fixtures in this house, the original owners might have had other fine art pieces (paintings and small sculptures0 that were donated to the museum.

I bet the owner was a European transplant or lover of European style and they lived in this house all their lives and then it transferred to a child. I've visited some elderly people (part of my job in Aged Care) who live in houses that haven't been updated since the 20s to 50s and many times it's an unmarried daughter or son who lived with their parents, looked after them when they aged, and inherited the house. Most of them don't feel the need or desire to remodel as it's comfortable to them, or feel it's an insult to the parents.

@johnvonundzu2170 Год назад

I'm thinking most of the fixtures arrived much later than when the house was new. Some of chandeliers hang way too low / seem designed for higher ceilings. Reaching up and touching a chandelier, or banging your head on one - I don't think that would happen back then. And I can't believe that the Murano grapes chandelier would have originally hung so very close to the sconces - this looks like the result of a collector running out of space (been there, done that!).

If you remove those items you change the character of the house. The house in it‘s whole is an antique, rip of the tiles, woodwork, original flooring, lights the house will loose much of the value, more as selling single parts one by one. Here it would be forbidden and put under the historic preservation regulation because the house represents a time period perfectly. If you don‘t like Art Deco, go buy a house from another time period. I look at this house and my heart bleeds. I am really afraid of the changes it will experience by thoughtless home owners.

Okay y’all collabing on this was epic y’all’s personalities mesh so well! And also my jaw dropped so many times learning about these light fixtures ! what a treat for you in your new home having all that history is so cool

@bfranklin1052 Год назад

This was amazing! To have all these intact fixtures in your new home is such a bonus to the beauty of the home itself. That and all the other original features. Drew, what a wonderful home! Congratulations!

@wendyreynolds8940 Год назад

Oh, my God, Drew--I can't imagine what your home insurance costs will be, but you need to SERIOUSLY insure those fixtures! God bless, you got an amazing gift in this home! Also, you and Dr. Laurie need to team up and create a replica series for the rest of us who crave the beauty of these fixtures but on a budget--please oh please make that happen!

@LuvMyCardiKids Год назад

Yes! Drew you need to get with your insurance agent and add a rider to the policy specifically covering these fixtures. Take good pictures and put them in your safe or safety deposit box. It’s best to have a safety deposit box to store important papers separate from your house so if anything happens to the house your papers survive.

I think recreating those would not make them more affordable. They would still have to be made by hand ..

@victorialove9104 Год назад

@katykennedy4244 Год назад

Oh, now that you know so many were probably original to the house, worth so much, are meticulously made by artisans so long ago, how could you ever replace them??? Nothing could match their history in your lovely home!!! Hoping you keep them ALL!!!!

I could definitely see a different homeowner getting rid of all of these fixtures for newer fixtures. This makes me even more happy that Drew got this house and will preserve a majority of these fixtures and really take into consideration that age of the home.

Art History Nerd here, one of my favorite shows ever. Although Simply Safe should have sponsored it. This house is gorgeous! And it will be even more spectacular with your touch! I love Murano glass and when I saw the first light fixture I was speechless then when you showed the second one, I was happy for the rest of the day (LOL). Dr. Lori was wonderful to listen to and I subscribed to her channel as soon as your segment ended. I see a wonder garden party next year after all the hard work and I'll be toasting you and Marie long distance.

@katherinebopp2021 Год назад

Jackpot ! The fixtures are incredible. I so hope you will leave them in place. When I was young I replaced some decorations from the late 30’S , to suit the 70’s . Oh I still cringe to think of it. Most of my choices were fine but two were terrible. Who owned this house? I would live with them for at least a year before you change anything. luckily the current style of mixing modern and antiques could work for you. You are very creative , I cannot wait to see more. Oh Dr. Laurie is great too.

@batterbury4477 Год назад

so lots of comments about HOW is Drew going to keep all the amazing historic lighting while still creating the more contemporary style of home that is DREW. A source of inspiration is ITALY - were there is a great movement in both architectural restoration and interior design to reclaim and use 300, 400 year old buildings. Fabulous work by 21 century designers who respect the history- leaving much of the character and unique features- but making a cool livable modern home. Drew - so looking forward to your journey-

@priscalynne8804 Год назад

I love this content. I hope you will lean into the home’s history when you consider your design. I’d love to see a fresh and modern take on it. Also, I would love to see you get the oriental rugs appraised as well. Given these fixtures, I’d bet good money on the rugs being authentic finds. So many people don’t appreciate the older things like you do and would just rip them out. This is fantastic news for you and so much inspiration.🥰🥰🥰

@ashlyndoty6365 Год назад

Yesssss I would love to see the rugs be valued as well!!!

@earthmama8384 Год назад

Yes, be sure to get the rugs appraised. I’ve no idea what they are, but… if they’re authentic Persian, and depending on the region and the maker, they, too, could be worth a fortune. Qom, Tabriz, & Kerman are a few of the best rug making regions. Rugs in the Persian style aka copies from Pakistan, India, & Afghanistan are less valuable. Wool, especially Kork wool, is used in better rugs for common areas with higher foot traffic. Wool with Cotton edging is common. When you see weaving next to the rug’s edge, then fringe, it’s typically is found on higher quality Persian rugs. Silk rugs are used in areas with minimal foot traffic. The maker of the best rugs signs his or her rugs in the border on the short end of the rug. FYI. the Carpet Museum of Iran in Tehran displays carpets worth millions of dollars. Since you’re in LA, you have access to the Getty and other museums so it shouldn’t be hard to find an expert in Persian carpets! Even if your carpets aren’t Persian, they’re likely vintage and beautiful. Lucky you!

@erinmoore9681 Год назад

Yes on the rugs. If they’re Persian or Oriental and there is wool and or silk content in the material, they are likely handmade and worth a pretty penny.

I love it when she says the stencil work on the beams has the iconography for abundance, it tells me the original owners had that as a motto or something, their choosing and sourcing of lights also tell they had abundance and the fact that YOU came to connect with this house points to what you'll create in this place.
