50-piece setting of Gorham Sterling Silverware. Service for 8 includes: knives, forks, salad forks, teaspoons, soup spoons, butter knives along with 2 extra large serving spoons and a gravy ladle. In the original wooden chest. No monogram. Circa 1956

I am thinking about fixing this chair that I found in my parents attic up for resale but want to know if I should even mess with it. I can't find anything online in regards to who makes the piece and am wondering if anyone could help me with some background information on it.

It has two hand carved ducks on the armrest and a cool type of tapestry like upholstery on it.

THIS ITEM IS IN ORIGINAL BOX AND THE MUSICIANS HAVE NEVER BEEN TAKEN OFF OF CARDBOARD.

Thank you for your time. Happy Holidays!

Got this a few years ago from a consignment store. It is SUPER heavy and solid. It has been a great piece for my office, but now need to get it out of the way for another display. I am wanting to sell it, but just wanted to make sure that I am not going to be cutting my throat on it. 

I do not have any information on the piece and have not been able to find anything close to it online.

Large hand carved cinnabar vase, 18" in height, brass vase, blue enamel interior and base. Perfect/mint condition. Purchased in Portland Oregon in 1976. Originally purchased with another exact copy to make a pair. I know where the other vase is and wonder would the combined value of both increase their values?
