Eli5- How antiques appraisers (like the ones on Antiques Roadshow) know so much?

571 views

I was watching the show tonight and one of the appraisers mentioned that when online searches fail, that’s when they can come to appraisers to get more information. How do the appraisers know or obtain this information? How are they able to estimate prices and give such detailed descriptions of the history of an object? This has always mystified me.

A positive side effect of TikTok is that it has made it more clear and obvious that so much of the media that we consume (TV in this case) is heavily scripted, staged, and edited.
