I have a 3-piece set of deeply carved wood furniture (2 chairs and 1 settee) with a note saying 'Spanish Philippines, cash at bottom for cockfights.' Each piece has a cage under the seat with a sliding door. The pair of chairs measure 40” tall, 25” wide, 19” deep, and the settee measures 41” tall, 50” wide, 18” deep.

I have an antique corselet house and would like to know its worth. I don't know its exact age but believe it's from the 1920s. The condition is great. What is its value and how can I get a more accurate appraisal?

I have a Lenox oval metal platter (17x6.5") with leaves and (maybe) berries on it. It doesn't have any numbers, just the pattern on the top. It's in very good condition and was my mom's, who has been deceased for 20 years. Can you tell me the potential worth?

I recently acquired an old oil painting with information on the back indicating it might be from the 1800s. The artist is William Bromley, and the painting has a tear that hasn't been repaired. What can you tell me about the painting's age, condition, and potential value?
