Hope you could help me out....

I have just acquired some antique items from my grandmother, who recently passed at the age of 80,  and I believe this was handed down through her family.

What exactly is it?

What's it worth?

custom, carved, antique, armoire, gun cabinet, chest, display case

handblown glassware set from Italy passed down from great great grandfather

2 decanters

5 wine glasses

6 grappa/"shot" glasses

G. Whitman oil painting

20 x 24 ( framed in )

Winter scene

Found in our attic. On some of the pieces it has the following:  Patent Pending, HS Fisher, followed by several dates; the last one is 1864. No globe. I would like to know if it is worth anything at all! Beautiful piece. 

I purchased this, also on Portobello Road, in London about 16 years back. The piece is a very delicately made framed tapestry depicting a musician playing his instrument to woo two sitting ladies in the era of the 1800's. The frame does not appear to be antique, but the tapestry does. I haven't ever seen a tapestry so delicately woven.

I purchased this on Portobello Road in London about 16 years back. The finish of the art is smooth lke a print, but the back framing suggests that is is aged. I don't know when prints began to take over for real art, but this piece appears to be an antique.
