Inherited an Italian Porcelain lamp. Know it was made in Italy and has artist markings. I have several photos. The bottom appears to be cloth covered and is old and stained but intact. I would guess the cord has been replaced. The light works. It measures:
Base width= 16"
Base Depth= 14"
Height of lady to include base= almost 14" (The base is close to 3" so Lady 11")

Drexel mahogany coffee table - 1957

Get this at a garage sale. Not sure is polishing it would increase or decrease value?

I discovered two paintings that are J N Hess/85 and did some research into the artist. These paintings must of been purchased by family long ago from a fine art gallery in PA. J N Hess was an artist who lived in PA and was a animal and landscape artist. His work has been sold at auctions and usually bringing anywhere from 5,000 to 20,000 for his pieces. I am wondering if anyone can help me and where to sell these pieces at.

I know nothing about it other than someone said they believe it's French and from the early 1800's. It stands about 15-18" tall and weighs around 3 pounds. Made of copper and it is definitely handmade. There are no markings on it that Ive been able to find. Found in the Florida panhandle when it fell off a trailer loaded with scrap metal. I'm trying to get any details I can on it before I decide whether to keep it or sell it. Thanks

I have a brass antique jewelry lock box. All the research I have done shows the other ones like mine are all from Indian origin but the stamp on the inside of mine is of a Dittman, made in Germany with a crown marking.
