I came across these black americana figures and I was hoping to get some further information about them and hopefully a quote. 

Past down,grandma,mom now me.

Two bronze statues approx 6-7" one bears the inscription 'SOSIAS' the other 'MERCURIS" both inscribed with the artist's name 'MEGRET' on the base. 

I have done some research and Megret is a neoclassical artist from France (1829-1911).  The statues represent a tale named Amphitryon from Greek Mythology.  Megret himself is best known for another work 'The Bust of Richard Cobden' and that isreally all I know.  I have found articles about his personal life and some of the books he has written.

Picked this up a few years ago from a lady who was throwing it away it very heavy around 125-150 pounds its 3ft tall 1ft wide there's no markings on it and apears to be concrete reinforced with plaster? I was going to put it in my house but we are moveing and I'm not sure if its worth takeing what would a value on something like this anything? I am no expert on yard statues so any info on it or a value would be greatly appreciated thank you jeff

I just aquired an Antique (Secretary) Desk with top piece (hutch?). It looks like it’s made of Cherry or possibly Mahogany.

Baught in Pennsylvania 

Don’t know any of the history

Can anyone tell me more about it?

What style is this? What time period could it be from - is it early American?

Is it worth getting the piece insured?

Opinions greatly appreciated
