I found this map at a thrift store! I know it's (most likely) not an original! But im wondering what it is, and what it's worth! I know the language on the back is portugese, but that's about it. Any insight or help welcome!
This was in my late father's possessions. From what I have researched it may very well be an original block print. There are no numbers. Anything you can tell me would be great!
The faded looking spots are reflections in the glass.
These are a set of three colored military engravings depicting the Napoleonic war. The print size is 11x7 the framed size is 21x18. They are of the Battle of Waterloo, the death of the Duke of Brunswick, and the third is unknown. The frames are original as best I know and are of wood with a foil type paper. You can see them in one pic.
An extremely heavy antique Pedestal Desk with locking drawers. Long-shaped center drawer flanked by a bank of 3 drawers on either side (one on left is a faux double drawer that acts as a file cabinet) and brass handles. Made by hand (dove-tailed). Does NOT have a leather top. The veneer is a Reverse Diamond Match and/or Butt & Book Matched, I think.
The desk is in fairly good shape but sustained some water damage on the top and we need an appraisal for insurance purposes.
This appraisal could be for replacement, repair or restoration, please. We actually love it and want to repair and possibly restore it, anyway. Thanks.
