I have a hippo figurine that was passed to me from a lady who was Mrs Rockefeller's in-home hairdresser for 14yrs, in Arkansas. It is marked on the bottom with an "M" surrounded by what is maybe a crown or sun symbol. It has several other markings (see photos), as well as the Rockefeller's personal inventory label. I'm curious about its value.
Small painting depicting an older man in a room playing the cello. The artist's signature appears to be J. (or perhaps G.) Melchion or Malchior and it is unusually placed in the top right corner as well as on the back of the painting. Its original frame is rather large and ornate. See attached images.
I have seen similar pictures of chairs from the Milwaukee Chair Co. But I am not sure where this chair originates from. It does say "Property of Jacobson Fixture Exch. Inc" on the bottom, but I don't think this has anything to do with the origination of the chair.
It belonged to my grandmother in Brazil. She died in the 60's and I inherited it, I just want to know the value of the item and if is considered and antique. Photo is attached
