I purchased this piece at an auction.  It looks and feels like silk but I really don't know. The glass was very dirty and I have cleaned it but the mat around the picture is aged and dirty as can be seen in the photos. The frame appears to be made of bamboo.  It is stapled to the board backing but I was able to lift one corner up to inspect the back.  The only markings I find are on the left hand margin ( three little black marks)

I believe it may be a picture of the Maple Bridge & Han Shan Temple in Suzhou.

I really appreciate any help in identifying and appraising this piece.

 I am trying to determine the value of this beautiful mirror.  It measures 4 feet 7 inches in width and 3 feet 2 inches in length.  The mirror is beveled and measures 47 x 29 inches in size.  I don't know its weight, it is extremely heavy.  the back is a very heavy/thick  solid wood.

Any help with a description or estimate in value would be appreciated.  I don't want to part with this mirror but I am considering selling it if the value is great enough.  I believe it to be an antique.  I received it in Boston where it hung in a prestigous Back Bay home.

it is in excellent condition with no cracks or damage to either the mirror or the frame.  However , the frame could use a professional cleaning.  

I purchased these chairs with an old wooden Patina'd kitchen table at an Estate sale about 15 years ago. I was told they were over 100 years old. They have since been painted twice. Just wondering if anyone can tell me who they might have been made by? Approx age, value, etc. There are no markings that I can see. There are 4 chairs weighing approx. 14 pounds each. I will be taking a picture of the table soon.

Thank you.

 Purchase at markets, my father thinks could be of value?

Hello, I recently found 3 plates left behind in a rental unit. Thet aren't exactly my style but want to find out more about them before I decide to sell them in a agrage sale. Any information wold be appreciated. I tracked the Z mark to mean Zaccagnini, but can't find much more inforation on them.

The first question is, "What is this?". Secondly, does it have any value beyond the sentimental. It was in our family as long as I can remember. Pertinent info is on the photo.

Many thanks.
