Bisque bas relief, paid $50, know nothing

Category
Ceramics and Porcelains
Condition
Excellent
Description

Hello! Does anyone know anything about this bisque I just bought? Who made it and when? How to clean it? I’ve tried a damp q-tip and it did almost nothing. Also did I pay too much or get a bargain and will reframing affect its value? Thanks so very much!

Midcentury white leather chairs, set of 2

Category
European Furniture
Condition
Good
Description

Vintage Post-Modern set of two (2) 'Canasta' armchairs, in stitched thick saddle-leather mounted on enameled tubular steel frames. Notice how the seats defy gravity with no vertical connections to the back or the ground.

Could these be "Canasta leather arm chairs by Arrben, 1980s"? Like these:

Middletown Plate Co piece

Category
Silver and Silver Overlay
Condition
Good
Description

I found a box of silver plate pieces. One is sort of creamer pot I guess and has “Middletown Plate Co 1203 hard white metal” stamped on the bottom. Other than a bit tarnished, it’s in very good condition. Is there any value to this?

Antique Admiral Stand Alone Freezer

Category
General Antiques and Collectibles
Condition
Good
Description

We have an antique Admiral Standing Freezer that we estimate dates back to the mid 1950's. Freezer stands roughly 48" tall and is relatively clean for it's age. Has been sitting in a garage for several years, but does work when plugged in. Cord is frayed and will need replacing, but all other parts seem to be in working order. Curious on the value.

3ft Tall Brass Rubbing on Black Paper

Category
General Antiques and Collectibles
Condition
Good
Description

I'm not actually sure if this falls into the correct category, I simply chose antiques as the brass rubbings have been passed down to me through a couple generations.

I'm uploading a picture of the one; it is a matching set of 2, equal in size an style of design.

Just curious to learn more about them and perhaps their age, as I haven't got the story behind how they came to be passed along to me.

The one I'm postings is of a very tall, slim nun, hands together in prayer, standing upon what appears to be some sort of ornate lion or mythological creature.

If anyone can share info/insight into when/where this design came from (i have to assume Great Britain?), I can post a picture of the other one.

That one is of a knight in full armour, very similar, though I believe rather than prayer hands, he holds a sword by the hilt, pointed down. He stands upon a unicorn, if I recall correctly. It comes out of storage tomorrow, so I figured I'd look into them a bit more.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated !
