I would like an appraisal on this oil painting by H. East titled "On the Lledr N. Wales." The painting appears to be in the original frame, which is gorgeous, and is in excellent shape. I inherited it from my uncle's estate. How old is the painting, and is the frame original to the painting?

I have an antique mantel clock with the following markings on the back: "EIGH", "PA", "WELCH", and "FORE". The clock is about 10 1/2 inches tall and 7 1/2 inches wide. It is part of an opera series and has a name like Pauline or Patty. The pendulum only works for a few minutes after winding. What is the history and value of this clock, and should I get it repaired if I want to sell it?

I have an antique lithograph picture of a little girl with a butterfly net titled N2121, framed in gold gilt wood. I need to know the artist, the value, the publisher, the publication method, the purpose, and any additional details about the girl in the picture, including where it was taken and sold.

I have two figurines, a man and a woman, measuring 10.5" tall including the base. The base is fairly heavy and appears to be marble, but I'm not certain. What can you tell me about these figurines?

I bought what was described as a 19th century gilt bronze blackamoor, about 9 inches, but I believe it's not gilt bronze or a blackamoor. It has fine detail and I'm curious about what it is. What tests can I perform to identify it, and what is its potential value?
