I've edited in a correction to my original post. It was by a different one of her teachers, Cecil Howard, not Bruce Moore as I originally posted.
Based on the gallery, the sort of paintings they sold, and the style of your painting, I think it's likely a decorative painting. These "factory...
Can you post a close-up of the certificate on the back?
A relative was a student in the 1950's of Cecil Howard ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_de_Blaquiere_Howard ), an American sculptor. This...
A necklace and somewhat matching earrings. I assume this is costume jewelry. I'm interested in the age (does clasp give indication?) and most the...
Here are two more of the antique rugs. One of them is quite large. If anyone knows more about these, I'd really like to find out their...
There is so much stuff (my wife's family), we can't take it all. Young people don't care much. I'm trying to make sure anything special is kept in...
Handed down in the family (eastern USA), probably from first half of 1900's, two matching chairs. No visible labels or marks. Are these arts and...

This looks like ivory to me. Do you agree? If not, what is the material? If it's ivory, how would something like this be dated, and how do you...
I'm helping my mother-in-law radically downsize/house clearance. There are several rugs I'd like to know more about. They are likely over 100...

Of all the US coinage, that design is my favorite. As others mentioned, don't allow greasy fingers on it, and do not clean or even rub it with a...
Exactly. And in those times, people lived harvest to harvest, like folks now live paycheck to paycheck. The sharecropper (and probably his family)...
