Came across this painting, looks to be oil with a signature A Franke...(I think)

Just wondering if anyone knows if it would be an original and value?

My photo makes it look a little bright, but in natural light it appears very good with no fade etc.

Thanking you

It is solid metal and is quite heavy for its size.  Not sure what kind of metal but it looks like it used to be white.  It has a hook on top which gives me the assumption that it was meant to be hung from something.  It has patterns of flower shapes and swirls on it.  It appears to be old because of the wear, rust, and patina.

<p>The desk is adorable and I only use it for decorative purposes.&nbsp; It is not real sound as far as being able to use it.&nbsp; It needs some tightening in the mostlly the legs and adjoining places.&nbsp; I was given to me by an antique store owner but I did not receive any information with it.&nbsp; Also the piece was stripped of any coating.&nbsp; I painted it red just before Christmas because it fits with my decour.&nbsp; I certainly would love to get some information as to when or where it was made and the value if possible.</p>

Mahogany rectangular carved beading beveled mirror. I was told it is over 100 years old, the mirror is darker and "foggy" it needs to be restored, there are no markings or labels anymore it has beautiful beading carved into the mahogany.
