Trying to find out the potential value of an antique Victorian black chandelier. It is metal, possibly black onyx or bronze, with 3 cherubs from which lights and shades hang. It is very unique with some minor damage, such as a couple of missing fingers. What can you tell me?

The book is a French version 1st illustrated edition of 20,000 leagues under the sea, with a J.P. Hall, book order form dated 1878 attached. Is this considered a collectors item? What is the value?

I have an oil painting on canvas with an unreadable signature that appears to have been painted in 1945. I am trying to identify the artist and get an appraisal. I have a picture of the signature, which seems to be "Tri" followed by an "s" or "a" and a "pi" or "m". The painting was framed in London at The Railings Gallery, 34 Thayer Street, and I bought it at a charity sale. How can I identify the artist and get an appraisal for this painting?
