I picked up this table at a second hand shop. I recently moved into a smaller place so I must sell a few pieces of furniture. This is something I wanted to have "fixed up" and get some nice chairs to go with it. Time and money hasnt allowed for me to this. So I starting trying to figure out who the maker of this table is. There are no markings on the table, so started looking through pictures to narrow it down. The table came with two leaves, I saw a picture of a similiar table with three leaves?? There is a crack in one of the legs not all the way through, still very sturdy. Also one of the two small side boards is off. Also does have some scratching mostly on one of the leaves.  But overall in good antique condition. I tried my best with the pictures, they would have come out better if taken during the day. If anyone has any information I would be very thankful........Second time Im posting this, no responses. This is my first time using this site, I would really appreciate someone who knows about furniture to give me information on this table. Thanks

I bought a set of four of these a few months ago and I know nothing about them.

Does anyone know what year they were made?

How much they might be worth?

This was brought back from China 20+ years ago. Not sure if the statue itself is Chinese or not but it was found in China.

Anyone know anything about it? Where it might be from? Who it is? What it's worth?

He's roughly 2ft, 3in tall. Not sure what he's made out of, maybe terracotta or ceramic.

My photos are too big to upload here, they can be found here though:

This is a mysterious clock! This clock is not inscribed with a maker. I have not taken it apart so it might have something on the inside.

It is so unusual.....I have searched countless sites and I can find nothing similar. It appears to be brass with a marble base. It does not work. It was my father's who would be 90 if he were alive. 

Born Mary Ella Williams in Port Burwell, Ontario, Dignam studied art at the Western School of Art and Design in London, Ontario. In 1886 she went to New York City to further her training at the Art Students League, followed by time in Paris, France at the artist's workshop run by Raphaël Collin (1850–1916) and Luc-Olivier Merson (1846–1920). Her paintings were eventually exhibited in Canada and abroad. She was a tireless worker for female artists and was a founding member and the first president of the Toronto-based Women's Art Association of Canada (WAAC).

She helped establish the International Society of Women Painters and Sculptors with branches in London, Paris, Philadelphia and Melbourne. In 1900, she helped organize the first all-female international art exhibition at the Grafton Galleries in London. She was hired by Moulton College in Toronto to establish and lead its art department.

Death

She died in 1938 in Toronto, Ontario.[citation needed]

An 8" tall, 6" wide primarily green pitcher with a basket base in perfect condition.  The design is handpainted flowers with stems and acorns in raised relief.  There is a raised "dot" pattern on the handle and around the spout.  Under the lid is an attached cork.  There are no markings or name on the bottom.  It belonged to my grandmother, but I do not know where she got it, or how long she had it before she died.  It has been in our family for at least 80-90 years.
