Found this painting in a garage. It was titled Thomas Kinkade Hometown memories I and at the back was a certificate of authenticity. I took some photos and was just wondering if it’s worth anything.
I inherited this painting from a friend and no nothing about it other than the back of the painting has a tag from Edward Art Products Chicago Illinois with a style no: 1238, subject: Winter Sunlight and size 34 x 42. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Oak morris chair made by W. H. Gunlocke Chair Co. of Wayland, NY. Original tag on the underside, with No 473 faintly visible, and numbers which look to be "473" written in white chalk on the underside. The seat has original burlap and fabric covering the springs. Cushions are original stuffing (horse hair, perhaps?). I purchased the chair in an antique store in Portsmouth, NH circa 1985, and the original leather covers for the cushions were completely disintegrating, so I had them recovered in new leather of similar color. The metal adjustment bar still works in its brackets. The chair shows some scuffing and wear but is solid. There may have been wheels on it at one time, but they are gone. There is some deterioration to the finish on the left arm top, but the damage does not extend into the wood. All the wood looks to be oak. Adult size chair.
Dirk van Erp lamp, from my brother-in-law's estate. He bought it at an antique store in San Francisco in the 1960s. It does not have the windmill stamp on the bottom, so it might have been made before 1910. Three of the 24 tabs that hold the mica shade in place are missing, but this is only visible on the underside of the shade. Thank you very much for your help.
