Antique oil painting in gold plaster of Paris boxed frame

Category
Paintings
Description

I'm trying to find out any information about a painting my parents have. It's been in the house since being passed down from my great aunt (born late 1800s). This is one of two paintings we have that are framed the same way. The frame is 19.5 wide and 16.5 tall.  I've attached pictures below showing the front and back. The plaster of Paris frame extends into a black wooden box frame with a protective glass piece.

Hand Carved Writing Desk

Category
Furniture
Condition
Good
Description

 

Hi, it's a writing desk, hand carved, and believed to be Scottish in origin, and also believed to be at least 100 years old. The carving extends all around the desk, with different patterns on the sides to the top. There is also an internal small door which has a lock, but it doesn't work, neither does the main lock on the front of the desk. The runners at the bottom of the desk are in good condition apart from the front, which quite obviously shows signs of wear and tear consistent with the age. The front lock has the imprint of "secure hand made four lever Imperial safe and hard with modern improvements"

There is some damage to the front under cove right hand side, which is split but still in place. Generally the wood looks in good condition all round.

Small Plates

Category
China
Condition
Excellent
Description

I have 5 matching small plates that I got when my grandfather passed away a few years back.  I have no idea if they are worth anything and would like to know if they are so that I know how to properly treat them.  They have an asian design on the front, floral in the middle and patterened on the sides and top.  They are octagon shaped and have a stamp on the bottom that I have not been able to find online at all.  I have included some pictures to give a better idea of what they look like and the stamp.

Reed and Barton El Greco Tea Service

Category
Silver and Silver Overlay
Condition
Good
Description

I have a Reed and Barton El Greco tea set.  I know that the tray is silver plate, but I do not know about the other pieces.  The other pieces have the name REED & BARON in all caps and El Greco in cursive.  Each piece also has it's own number, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953.  No other distinguishing marks are on these pieces.  I am also wondering how much this set is worth?
