Arc de Triomphe Paris Painting by Rodica (Rody) Iliesco

Category
Paintings
Condition
Good
Description

This is a vintage oil on canvas painting of Arc de Triomphe, Paris, painted by Rodica (Rody) Iliesco. Vertical, Framed, some wear on the frame.

She is a Romanian painter who lives in Paris.

I have learned that she works in knife oil painting technique.

The painting is signed in the lower left corner "Rody Paris 84".

There is a very similar painting listed on ebay, from 83: https://www.ebay.com/itm/156620706621?_skw=Rody+Paris+Arc+de+Triumph&itmmeta=01JSCZRFXH676Z81XG88WX9W05&hash=item247752533d:g:f0EAAOSwUIRnetr5&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1fsSAz0cvMbdQ0HZ%2B7G9CCpWcP0aIdxPsAnZb77jF2%2B65R3RlV7r0FuL88UJD5Tbgi6uWl4m2j0GgczlaQbjYdc0cnVWokwHPe%2Bcqn%2Fd7IzgOBuGblbVXs6m%2BoI95B9TWl0sakhgQ0xpKgQj2GjHRso1CosOLnRl0xG0N0T9QJWe0eyCEUpmg6fxHRj4953QFqoC5289NRVpRPIy21xLXje%2FcFaRCHZF2MM%2FJ6UsJ20m9kUZEXbnPbmgC8MFjryl04%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_L-4Z_LZQ

But, I am not sure the seller priced the piece correctly. 

Her works were sold on auctions for higher prices, but probably also of bigger sizes than this object.

Condition
Good
Description

Hey there.  I believe this table was manufactured in 1969 but can find no similar table by Lane on the internet.  Would you be able to help me identify it and also tell me what value it currently holds?  Thanks so much.

Unique Victorian Vibe Stool

Category
American Furniture
Condition
Excellent
Description

This is an unique piece that was handed down over a few generations. The material has a velvet feel and the only issue it has is that the fringe is loose in a spot or two. Curious as to the time period and potential value. A deceased family member (born in the 1930's said that as a child, they recalled it at a relative's house.

Original Issue of New Series

Category
Other
Condition
Good
Description

Volume 1 Issue 1 of the "Summer Edition" of Treasure Chest issued in 1966. It is my understanding this was available by subscription only and there were six issued throughout the summer.

This issue has a stain on the front cover approx., 1/3 from bottom and to right of center. The crossword puzzle, etc, on the inside of the front cover has been completed and the puzzle on the inside back has as well. In addition, there is writing at the top of that page. Otherwise, the book is in very good condition. Curiosity around potential value?

Two Antique Chromolithographs of James Ludovic Lindsay by Spy (Sir Leslie Ward)

Category
Other
Condition
Good
Description

This are two chromolithographs of James Ludovic Lindsay, the 26th Earl of Crawford, who was  Scottish scientist and politician. The images are caricatures.

The lithographs were created for Vanity Fair by Sir Leslie Ward, who signed his works as "Spy".

One lithograph is called "Astronomy", dated May 11, 1878. The background on Lord Lindsay is printed on the back. Printed by Vincent Brooks Day & Son. Lith.

Another one is called "The Transit of Venus", created for Vanity Fair supplement by Hentchel-Colourtype, London. Probably a bit younger as Lord Lindsey depicted on it looks older. Found a very detailed description of this piece here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/404637999855?_skw=Astronomy+Spy+Vanity+Fair+Lindsay&itmmeta=01JS79DSKB2XQC4GZB4X5DZ5DB&hash=item5e364de2ef:g:V0UAAOSwEKtmFPbN&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1cPLA63qFwCHyOp9NPbQMLsefEvHMgTUWEO6BTnYxW50IgpnKyDXNcrUTopCY1A4ihkKcy%2FX7phdhfTquvsGSPlPDiIVFVWvCCvUX%2BJ9txLOtXGKqclqBIpozxqCBjtUCXi%2B22B%2Bk5zgLGCt2%2FHzz61bMBtznJ6B4UVoKSml554tJAB3irtaNQ%2Fjw705%2Bq0OqV3At%2FipaKGx5yBgSzg4Bswg9iqvIVw5I0SelIhx1njZohZ80cc4TIAts7he6LhAOpXzlMENH9GSEJ08jKaeSd1%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-yZt-nJZQ 

It says 1908.

The condition is good, some minor scratches on the frames.

Would like to know if it is better to sell them together or separately, if possible.
