There's just something about the popular PBS television program The Antiques Roadshow that anyone who loves to learn about history just loves to watch!
Whether it is listening to cool and interesting facts about the founding of our nation or learning about the history of baseball cards, this amazing television phenomenon has truly established itself in the American psyche as an important show that not only educates but entertains!
In the video below, we got to learn a little bit about American master painter, Normal Rockwell, and how he worked as an artist. The woman in the video was lucky enough to have modeled for the artist when she was a little girl, and amazingly she has an original painting by Rockwell where she's the subject! Can you imagine how incredible that would be to look at on your wall?
It seems like the woman's family had a good relationship with Rockwell, so when the artist threw out a chair of his, the woman's father decided to save it from the garbage and bring it home.
When you look at some of Rockwell's more famous works, you'll notice that the chair she owns seems a bit familiar. It turns out it might actually be the chair that Rockwell painted in one of his most famous and iconic self-portraits.
When the woman finds out how much the famous chair is worth, we couldn't help but laugh along with her! What an amazing piece of history that she inherited!
