We have a child-sized spindle rocking chair with bentwood arms and a black leather seat. We found it in the back of a closet after my husband’s mother died. I have tried to find one like it online, but without any success. The chair is in good condition, but I have no idea how old it is. It appears to have some type of padding under the leather seat covering (perhaps straw? It has a ‘crunchy’ sound when I push on it). The chair has round-topped screws that hold the bentwood arms in place. Is there anything else important the Antiques Appraiser should know?

I have two paintings: 1. A watercolor by P. Bortoluzzi entitled 'Endeavour et Rainbow' (21x31 inches) bought 25 years ago for $2500. 2. An oil on canvas by Geo. F. Schultz of an old barn and sailboats (20x30 inches) bought at auction 35 years ago for $800. What are their current values and who are the artists?

I have an antique Seth Thomas alarm clock from the 1800s. It says Germany on the face and has a 3/27 on the winder. The clock is in good condition with some scratches but still works. How can I get it appraised and what is its value?

Looking for an appraisal on an antique "ladies rocker". The arm has been mended but was done very well.
