I am having trouble finding out any information about the age or worth of this beautiful roll top desk. I know it is J.B. Van Sciver Co., out of Camden, NJ. That's as far as I've gotten. Any help would be appreciated. While I'm not ready to sell it yet, I will be looking for a buyer in the future.

The sign itself is a high quality printing made of paper with a ?pressed wood? backing. Letters are hand painted black with a gold leaf backing/shadow, and reads: PHILIP MORRIS & Co's. CELEBRATED BOND STREET CIGARETTES LONDON. At the bottom, in small print reads: SUTTON SHARPE & Co., 145 QUEEN VICTORIA STREET, LONDON. On the top left side dislpayed is the seal of the Prince of Wales with three feathers in silver leaf and a gold leaf crown and ribbon that reads :ICH DIEN. Above reads: BY APPOINTMENT. In the center are two hand drawn/painted bears sitting on grass with a bale of tobacco between the two. The top right side displays a smaller version of the bears and bale of tobacco within a square. Intialed around the square in gold leaf are P(top), M(left), &(right), Co.(bottom). Above this printed is: TRADE MARK., and below: REGISTERED..

The frame is made of wood(oak??), and embossed on top: PHILIP MORRIS & Co., and embossed "LONDON" on the bottom. On top of the frame are two holes about 4 inches from edges where you can tell it used to hang.

  The nails used to constuct the frame are visable and date pre-1900. The registered trade mark was registered in 1883 and  Philip Morris  registered the current trade mark in 1902.

Large etched mirror of New York skyline.  Found in home that was built in 1987.  Would like to know what it's worth, I would like to sell it.

I did research on eBay and the internet and I only came up with new reproduction furniture that sells for hundreds and thousands of dollars. I did find very old antique carved furniture; I couldn't find anything of vintage Original Hand carved like what I have and of this quality. During my research of these items I found that many of the pieces were shipped from Hong Kong and that my pieces where shipped from Taipei, Republic of China per a business card that came with the furniture. (See Photo) When talking to people they stated that that the furniture was made for export, most were brought home by tourists or service men stationed in south East Asia. That it was hand carved and made in china and exported to the US.

Can you tell me anything about my item as I don't have any idea what it is or the value.
