The erstwhile owner calls it Dennis Reynolds, after the narcissistic character in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”
The “Antiques Roadhouse” dream does come true, as proved by two recent stories about art objects that turned out to be a lot more valuable than their owners thought.
A family friend who happened to be an expert in ceramics said he saw it in the home about 20 years ago and told the owner that he “thought it was rather good … I am not sure they really took what I said very seriously.” It was finally examined and now is thought to have been created in the 18th century for the court of the Qianlong Emperor. It will go up for auction on May 18.• A bust bought for $34.
