I have a pine (I think) ladies desk with carved feet and on top back, opens out and has 2 doors and a drawer in front. I’ve had it for over 40 years. A dealer told me it was valuable and wanted to buy it but I kept it. I traded it originally from a farmer in West Point, NY area for a table. Is there anything else the Antiques Appraiser should be aware of?

I found a large, hand-painted table lamp with embossed leaves and flowers, a metal base and top, and metal leaves that the light fits into. The base also has a light in it, and there is a number 3030 on the bottom. What is the approximate value of this lamp, and what kind of lamp shade would it have originally had?
