this painting was given to me as a sort of gift to hang in my room from a friend that had it in her storage. i didn't know of the artist until i looked it up online and saw thomas barker is a well known 19th century english artist. i am now looking to find out what this painting is worth and am looking to sell it.
Very large, heavy bowl that appears to be very old. Has the letter "F" painted in red and also the name "Eldridge" on the bottom of it in some kind of old material. I took it to an native art place in my area and one of the wood carvers really loved it! They told me it was maple and that it might be native. It has been well taken care of over the years and it is "oily" feeling. On the inside there is some strange marks, possibly form the tool that it was made with?
