Hi. I recently purchased what I believe to be a print, by artist, Armando Miravalls Bove, named "Bountiful Harvest". I was told by the original owner that it was very old, but that's the only information he had. It is in the original frame, and was originally purchased from Elyria Art Company, Ohio for the Board of Education in Franklin Park, IL. I've researched this piece endlessly and yet I find nothing. I believe it's a print, but again, I'm not certain (I know it's not an oil painting - the picture is smooth, with no grooves or raises of any kind). I would like to eventually sell it, but I have no idea what it's even worth. Any information on this piece would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Stacy L. Stiles
I have a 7ft by 4ft bevelled edge wall mirror. I was told that it was bought around 60 years ago. It has silver backing and large sets of 3 palm trees etched on each end. It also seems like a very clear glass mirror. I was wondering if there should be any makers mark on it that I would be able to identify it. And, of course, a rough idea of any value or anything that that I should be looking at to detirmine the quality and value of mirror. There is no framing around it, which I believe there was the way at was made. Thank You for your time and advise!!
Recently bought an old porcelain lamp that has gold trim all over with a signature on bottom that has some numbers then the name Chelsea, then "Made Italy" hand written on it. I have no idea what this lamp is, and haven't been successful looking online for something similar. A few sites seem to mention something about Capodimonte, but I'm no expert at all with antiques, I just like buying them here recently.
I will attach a picture to show the signature in the bottom, but also there's a number written in the top half of the globe shapeddome lid for this lamp with the number 41 (I think, could be wrong.)
This lamp is porcelain, hand painted with flowers, gold trim, and has a real old electrical cord to it. I'm just real curious if anyone has ever seen one like this, and any ideas on what it may be. Even of it turns out not to be anything significant, it's very unique and everyone that's seen it loves it. Thank you in advance for your help and advice. Any advice is greatly appreciated as to what kind of lamp this was that I have!
