I had received this painting from one of my longtime tenant’s when I was a manager.
It is painted by a Mr “Derek Clark”
I was told it was bought at the Westchester Faire back in 1993 for $225. And the tag on the back seams to verify that. I was interested in what the painting might be worth right now. Also if anyone has more information about what the Westchester Fair is? Thank you.
Antique Steamer Wardrobe Trunk made by the WinShip Company. It’s a hundred years old by now by a few years more or less. I got the original key for it two. This was given to me by my oldest tenant a few years ago. She lived to be 96 years old, meaning she was born in 1926. What was more interesting is that she lived in the same Hollywood apartment building since moving-in first in 1968! She worked all her life for the government and she traveled around the world extensively, and she was still living independently and fully agile at that age, living comfortably fully supported by her own life saving’s. Anyways back to this Steamer Trunk, she gave it to me, and told me that a relative once came to see her from the east coast back in the 70’s and she brought with her this trunk, took all of her stuff out, and then left it. So it has just been sitting in one of her closets ever since. Even though it is an aged and large item, it still is in good condition and there is no actual rusting as far as I could inspect and there is no mold or anything, and no smell. I was wondering just how much could this specific trunk cost? Thank You.
19th Century Wardrobe/Armoire. Hand-crafted from solid oak with wood curving and steel details. Doors are hung with outboard steel barrel hinges so they open wide for easy access to the interior. Very good overall with age appropriate wear including wood splits and overall surface wear.
