this is a painting of a still life: fruit bowl, fruit, with branch/leaves looking out through a window to a city skyline in the background.

It was in my parents' possession for as long as I can remember and my older siblings tell me that it was painted by an artist with "some reputation" probably in the mid-1940s when my parents lived in the NYC area (Scarsdale, Larchmont)

   A 1961 Joseph Horne Co. green and gold chair. It's in good condition, the condition of the paint is pretty good for it's age and the uphostery is however needs to be replace. The chair was custom order due to a tag/recipe that i found at the bottom of chair seat. It got two front wheels and none in the back legs which was factory.

This is a Christian Dior chapeaux hat in brown.  That is all I know.

A wall plate with a picture of The Last Supper. The plate is white and trimmed in 18 caret gold; made in Japan. The plate was my grandmother's and when she died in 1985 it was passed to me.
