APPRAISER: This is a cashmere shawl which was made in India in the early 19th century.
These shawls were bought by, uh, Englishmen during the colonial period, when they were traveling to India, and were brought back.
Used to decorate pianos, used to wear in the cold, uh, English winters.
It's really a marvelous piece.
It has a great colorful field in it, this blue field, which sets it apart from many of the other cashmere shawls that we see from this period, which are often black and quite dark.
Do you mind me asking what you paid for it?
GUEST: I gave $15 for it.
APPRAISER: You got a great deal.
Uh... (laughs) GUEST: How great a deal did I get?
APPRAISER: Well, I think if this were uh, placed, uh, in a, in an antique shop, perhaps, uh, with textiles, or at auction with textiles, you might expect $1,000.
GUEST: Oh, wow!
Great, great.
APPRAISER: For a shawl like this.
GUEST: Let's put it on.
