I think later than 1890 unless the top is a replacement. Can you tell if the top is plywood from the back. Sure looks like it from the pics.
Can't evaluate from these pics. Could be a period piece or a later reproduction. Ditto the tapestry. Even if the tapestry is later, it could...
Not Camille Naudot. If I remember correctly, this is a more modern mark for imports.
Agree with Ghopper 100%. $100.00 would be overly optimistic for my area as well. The veneer loss on the drawer makes it even more problematic.
I don't see anything about this that says architect's desk. Looks more like some kind of comercial piece to me.
Not really mis-information. Just part of the story in evaluating art. You are usually spot-on in your comments.
Agree that this is a factory painting but may not be Mexican in origin. Mexican frames were used on all kinds of art, as they were the cheapest...
Agree with the others that this is a marriage. Both the lamp and shade are quality but do not go together stylistically. Shade would not be...

A bit better than scrap. I am thinking in the $15-$30.00 range. If you look up Middle Eastern copper on ebay, you might find some comparables....
Post WWI, into the 20s. Have seen similar sets under $100.00 here in the States. Higher at retail and you probably would do better in Quebec.
Not a lot of value, as there is a lot similar out there and demand is not great.
Agree, 70s or later. That speckled finish is a hallmark of that era. Not sure this is American. I don't think it is maple but hard telling what...
Not a lot of time to comment about this but definitely an oldie. Not sure this is cherry. Could be birch, beech, or a fruitwood of some kind....
Early 20th century (teens-20s) and not American. Could be English or Continental.
I think the 2/57 is the date.
Is a print with an edition number of 4/10. Francois? ..... or similar.
Think you have this right. The 69 is probably an inspector's mark. The 2-8 is maybe a factory designation (Something like the second of 8 tops...
Separate names with a comma.
