A collection of Enrico Caruso memorabilia and a pair of heirloom boxwood and ivory figurines possibly by sculptor Simon Troger.
In Atlantic City, New Jersey, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW and appraiser Andy Ourant dip into a discussion of the market for swimsuit-clad, early twentieth-century bisque figurines, known as “bathing beauties.” Highlights include: a collection of Enrico Caruso memorabilia brought by his grandson; a circa 1850 Vietnamese carved rhinoceros horn presentation cup; and a pair of heirloom boxwood and ivory figurines originally estimated to be worth $50,000 to $75,000, but recently confirmed to be eighteenth-century originals by sculptor Simon Troger and worth considerably more.
