I have an Eastlake Antique walnut secretary with a carved face with a rolling mustache, and scrolling carved on each side. If I refinish it, does it lose value? What is the approximate value?

I have a set of 10 Children's Classics books published by the John C. Winston Company. The copyright dates range from 1923 to 1925. The titles include Robin Hood, Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, Kidnapped, Black Beauty, Tales from Shakespeare (Charles & Mary Lamb), Dickens' Stories About Children, The Arabian Nights, Treasure Island, Heidi, and Robinson Crusoe. What is the current value of this set, and is there anything else important to know about them?

I just bought an antique sheet music cabinet. It appears to be tiger oak and is in quite good condition with a couple of small nicks on the top of the door. Did I get a good deal?

I recently received a low offer for a tea box that came from my great-grandmother's farmhouse in Michigan. She was born in the 1860s and kept everything. The tea box has paper on six sides, good hinges and handles, and the picture inside is not marked or marred. What is the estimated value of this tea box and where would be the best place to sell it?

I am looking for someone to appraise my French tapestry. I purchased it about 34 years ago and believe it might be a 19th-century hand-woven tapestry. It is stamped 'Made In France' on the backside and measures 3'10" (height) x 5'7" (length).
