- Okay. Whoa!
Okay, we're going up, be careful, be careful.
Up, up, up, up.
Be careful, be careful, be careful.
Hey, how 'bout this mirror piece with the horns on it.
- I want-- I would like those gone.
- You would like those gone? - Yes.
- How do you get back there to look at them, though?
- Well, we got to work our way back.
Be careful, there might be holes in the floor.
- All right, let me see... - This is a Windsong chair.
- That's incredible. - Yes.
- Here, I'm gonna pull these out.
[sighs]
- Look at that, Joe.
- Horn furniture originated in Europe in the mid-1700s.
And it was stuff that you'd see in, like, castles.
When a lot of those craftsmen relocated to the United States,
they started making this stuff here.
What are you thinking, Joe?
- $250. - Give me a little more room.
Two and a quarter. - Okay, two and a quarter.
- All right. This is incredible stuff.
I'm just so excited. Like, I'm a lighting guy.
- Open that box and see
what's in it. - Okay.
And I've always been a lighting guy.
But now, the lighting guy is really coming out in me.
All right, I'm opening the box.
- Mike's like an eight-year-old boy.
- And there's another lampshade in it.
- As soon as he sees something he loves,
his life is only that thing.
- Ooh!
Oh my gosh. - That's it.
He's obsessed with it. He wants to eat it.
He wants to drink it.
- Is this the shade to that base down there?
Look at that. Oh, it's like a blood red.
Oh my gosh.
There's a base back there. It's so cool.
- Have you ever tried to stop a curious
eight-year-old boy from rifling through somebody's attic?
- So, look, so this is what I'm talking about.
Where's that shade at? - Right here.
- Okay, so, here, can you hold that up and see
if this is the right width?
- Here, I'll hold this like so. - Now do this.
Wait, oh, you're doing it like that?
Wait, okay. Wait, there's one leg.
We got it. Okay, wait.
We're just connecting these things so gently together
because there's a big piece of glass
that's chipped and cracked and he doesn't want it to fall out.
- That's it. It's got to be it.
- Eh, is that all the way up?
This is like the Lunar Module docking
with the Command Module. Yeah, that's it!
This is it!
Again, this is, like, whoa, wow.
I love this stuff because...
[sighs] To me, it's timeless.
- Of course. - And it's overbuilt.
And it's just so beautiful. - And it's sturdy.
- Yes, and it's sturd-- well, yeah, it's sturdy.
It was, but... no, I mean, this can all be fixed, I love it.
This is a masculine lamp, you know what I'm saying?
This is a Craftsman, bold, masculine lamp.
I mean, this is the kind of lamp you see Kevin Costner sitting
next to on a table in his lodge on "Yellowstone."
That kind of lamp. This red is insane.
- Look at that red. - [whispering] Look at that.
The glass in this lampshade is so amazing.
It's like this blood red, orangey slag glass.
[whispering] Look at that red.
It's so cool.
And there's just so much going on here, man.
I'd pay, um...
Mmm...
In the shape it's in, I'd pay 300.
- Sold. - Oh my gosh, I love it.
- Sold. - I love it, I love it.
- I love it. - I love it.
- I love it, thank you.
- When you look at this stuff, is this Dean?
- Yes, yes, it's Dean. - Yeah.
- It's my 40 years with him.
Dean and I had a great life together.
He taught me a lot. I learned so much from him.
- So I'm kind of meeting him.
- Yes, you are, yes, you are. - Through meeting you.
- Seeing Mike get so excited about the things
that Dean collected was really good for me.
And it was just bringing back all these memories
of the fun times we had.
This piece here, it's a table.
- Okay. - It's a very elaborate, like--
There's cast iron to it. - Yeah.
- And then, where's that other light that I handed you?
- Right here? - Yeah, that one.
- That's heavy.
- This is really incredible to pick
an interior designer's attic.
There's a lot of stuff from this time period in the back there.
- Right. - This is a desk lamp.
It's Craftsman period.
And, you know, after all these years,
the shade is still there.
The magnifying lens underneath it is still intact.
This is Isinglass.
You can see that right there.
- Mica. - Yeah.
- I'm saying Isinglass. He's saying Mica.
They're almost the same thing.
They would've used this, actually,
in woodburning stoves for the illumination.
And it's a heavy base.
And if you can look at how it would be magnified as well.
You can see there's a chip here, um...
400.
- 425.
- I'll do $425. Let's do that.
- Okay. - Lighting was definitely
his partner's specialty.
Okay, so this piece I dug out of there.
- Mm-hmm. - It's just a wall sconce.
- Right. - Nice arch.
And it pivots as well. There's floor lamps.
There's desk lamps. There's table lamps.
Isinglass, Mica. Whatever you want to call it.
40 bucks. - Okay.
- I mean, some of it needs some repair, but big deal,
you know what I mean? This is another
floor lamp piece, looks like it has the original shade.
- Yes. - You know, these floor lamps
that I'm finding-- 150.
- How about 160? - 160.
- They're just so unique and so different.
All right, here we go. Look at this one.
- He was into lighting. He just loved it.
- Trying to protect that shade.
- And so, he would go and find these wonderful things.
Like, if he would see it, and he hadn't seen it before,
and he thought it was fabulous, and if he could afford it,
he would buy it. - Whoa.
Okay, this is some coolness here--
- Yes, it is. - Very medieval Bavarian castle.
What I love about all of this stuff is the simplicity of it,
the simplicity of it and its strength.
It's timeless. Two and a quarter.
- You know, 250 is better. - How about $230?
- 235, if you're gonna be hard on me like that--
[Mike chuckling]
If you're gonna to give me a hard time on it.
I mean, it's a fabulous thing.
- I know, it is a fabulous thing.
So much of it isn't light that's to light a room.
It's just mood lighting. Look at that base.
- Yeah, that's so cool, isn't it?
- It's a neat base, really cool base, kind of blacksmith,
Craftsman, John Henry look to it.
You know, the colors and the way it luminates, it's just--
it just-- it sets a mood, man. It's great aesthetic.
200. - Okay.
I love this. And I love the fact
that I'm finding so much of it.
It's like a full-on lighting honey hole.
