I wish I knew something about this piece in order to help find the value but I really don't. It was built around the 1850's as far as we have been told. The panels on the bottom part are made out of wood, not the usual tin.
I am not sure if the signature on the painting is for the above mentioned artist or if the above mentioned artist was the painter of this portrait. The signature was difficult to decifer. I am interested in knowing what the value of this painting may be and perhaps who the person is in the painting.
This necklace has 10 strands of 3mm turquoise beads, with 2x4mm silver beads. The clasp is of a hook style. The strands are secured with cone shaped "springs" which then are attached to the hook and eye closure. It measures 30 inches in length including the closure.
