What do you think? Do these evoke the “treasure in the attic” feel of Antiques Roadshow? One thing I can say, is that a portion of the proceeds of the sales really do funnel back to help develop new public television programming.
A few years ago, WGBH television, producers of the popular PBS series Antiques Roadshow entered into a licensing agreement with Pulaski Furniture to create a line of reproductions and pieces “inspired by” some of the gems found on the show. Disclosure time: I was working in the WGBH division that struck this deal at that time, although I had nothing to do with it, and I have no current insider information. It’s interesting for me to revisit this line of furniture. It looks to me that they’ve narrowed their offerings down to a few signature pieces. I’m not sure they scream “Antiques Roadshow!”. I do like the bed, however.
Elsewhere, Dale Tiffany produces a line of Antiques Roadshow lighting.
Momeni Rugs offers their Antiques Collection of area rugs.

It’s a fun idea but no, I’m not sure I see an “Antiques Roadshow” influence. But if they make money on it, that’s good.
By the way, I have the Antiques Roadshow card game but I’ve never played it!
