I inherited a Meissen porcelain Gold Leaf 5-piece tea set (with pitcher and lid) in excellent, unused condition. It has the big X with 2 crossed swords at the bottom and the dot at the top in the middle of the big X. It is definitely beautiful china. (Circa 1934-1954). What is the worth of this set and how should I go about selling it?

I have several vintage magazine covers, including ones from the Metropolitan magazine dated March 1918 and March 1919, and a housekeeper cover from March 1908. I framed them myself with UV glass and moisture-proof materials. I paid $5 each for the covers and $125 each for framing. What is the value and significance of these covers, and how should I handle their preservation given their age and condition?

Can you provide information about these four separate, 4.5-inch square tiles that have been in my family since before my mother was born (she was born in 1938)?

What can you tell me about this chandelier? I saw it at an estate sale and know a friend who may be interested. I know nothing about chandeliers though. The dimensions are approximately 28H x 26W. Also, can you provide a description or identify the artist? It looks Russian to me, but I'm not sure why I say that.

I am downsizing from a large house and have some old antiques, including an 18th-century birdcage tea table and a very old Seth Thomas mantle clock. How do I start the process of selling these items and find potential buyers?

I have two Chinese columns that are 8 feet tall and 18 inches in diameter at the widest point. They are likely made of paper mache. I would like to sell them. Do you know of a place that carries these types of items?
