I have several bureaus with mirrors that I would like to get appraised. One has a mirror that swings free by two screws, the drawers are lined with vintage paper, and it has little white wheels. Another bureau has drawers that pull out and metal adornments made of burnished brass. One of the bureaus is about 10 feet long and has a corkscrew fastener. Can you provide an appraisal for these items?

I have a beautiful vintage hand painted art glass centerpiece that I would like to sell. It is 14 inches wide, 7 inches long, and tall with a round pedestal bowl shape. There are no markings, and it was purchased at an online auction with no known history. Can you provide information about its origin, value, and the best way to sell it?

I have an old mahogany secretary desk that I need an appraisal for. It is estimated to be from the late 1700s to early 1800s and is in great condition for its age, though it has undergone some modifications. The desk is made of mahogany and appears to be handmade. What is the fair market value of this piece?

I have been gifted a lot of old books and am unsure if they have any value. Some are in good condition, some fair, and some were thrown away. My grandfather liked to write his name on many of his books. I also have a 'The New Yorker, Album of Drawings, 1925 to 1975'. What factors affect the value of these books, and what is the value of the 'The New Yorker, Album of Drawings, 1925 to 1975'?
