I inherited an oil painting portrait from my mother, who inherited it from her grandmother, born in 1900 and an antique dealer all her life. This painting hung in her living room for many years. I have looked online for similar paintings and wonder if this could have been painted by Ammi Phillips. Is there someone who can help me?

I have a ceramic boot with a ship painted on it, 7 and a quarter inches tall, and the ship is only on one side. I initially thought it was a planter, but now I believe it might be a mug or Stein. I would like to know what this is, who made it, how old it is, and what its value is.

I have a chair with a needlepoint seat that I believe is a later redo. What would the original seat have been? Additionally, I would like to know the age, country, style, and value of the chair. I also have a wood box, a 24" copper tray with Middle Eastern etching, and two small stools/benches that I would like appraised.

I have a silver plate from my parents' 1944 wedding. The back is stamped 'sterling' and has the number 'A2964M' along with three other stamps. The plate is 16 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 2.5 inches tall at the outer edges. What is the value of this plate, and how can I clean it without harming the finish?

I have a large armoire with '1700' and German text carved into it. What is its estimated value, and would refinishing it devalue the piece?
