I have some paintings that belonged to my late uncle and I want to sell them. I don't know much about them. How can I get a fair price and what information do I need to provide to an appraiser?

I have a first edition of 'The Last of the Bighams' copyright 1925. It is a hardback, blueish-purple in color with gold letters on the front and spine. Someone mentioned that the family did not like the book and destroyed most copies, with only two copies found in the last 20 years. I would like to know the value of this book.

My friend has a Ming plate that needs to be valued. It is a Chinese celadon porcelain dish with a slightly shaped rim, decorated in blue at the center with a circular Shou medallion enclosed by five stylised flower vignettes, eight abstract zoomorphic chilong at the rim, and the base has an apocryphal four-character mark of the Chenghua emperor (1465-1487). The dish is 2 inches deep by 10 inches in diameter and has some marring from being hung in a plate hanger.

I have a rug someone gave me which I believe is Persian. Can you look at a pic and tell me if it’s worth anything? The rug has no maker's mark or serial number, is in fair condition due to fading from the Florida sun, and is approximately 5x9 in size. The friend who gave it to me said she got it on an online auction many years ago and thought it might be a Kazakhstan runner.
