I have inherited an antique fire screen from my mother, which she received from an old English lady who worked at the palace. She was told it is a piece of silk fabric from a dress worn to Queen Victoria's wedding. The fabric is deteriorating despite being encased. What is the value of this item, and how can I sell it if I decide to?

Can you please provide a price estimate and date range for this antique Chinese table lamp? It appears to be made of brass and painted porcelain, and it is in great condition with no maker's mark or serial number.

I found a tiny item that belongs to my husband's great aunts, who used to travel to different countries, especially China. My husband is 67, so the item is likely very old. He thinks it might be for matches, but we can't open it. What is it, does it open, and is it part of something? It's about an inch and a half high and long.

I have a drawing signed William Miller. It doesn't look new and is in great condition with a sticker on the back from Blanco Gallery. The drawing mentions 'John Kmose's home. Edinborough???' What is the value and history of this item?

I have an old 1920-30s Victorian style dresser and mirror set made by Bassett. The dresser has no serial numbers, only the name of the mirror on the backside. The set is in good condition, but two wheels are missing, and one drawer track is broken. What is the fair market value of this set, and what are the best avenues for selling it?
