<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheOLdGuy, post: 84418, member: 878&quot;]BTW, it&#039;s 23&quot; wide and 26 high. The appraiser has the last name spelled Frappian.</p><p><br /></p><p><i><span style="color: #0000b3">Does your daughter have any idea the possible value?</span></i></p><p><i><span style="color: #0000b3">Does she have it insured ???</span></i></p><p><br /></p><p>Good question. I had it included in my artwork insurance rider for $750. I doubt she has an art rider. She&#039;d have to have it reappraised. My last was done in 1996.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0000b3">PS....what&#039;s her address ??</span></p><p><br /></p><p>Bad question. Actually closer to you than me. Hint.

I would never have thought of that. On the other hand it&#039;s hard to make out anyway. I don&#039;t remember who mentioned the estate liquidation. Definitely a dealer in the NYC vicinity. I was at the time thinking the Adirondacks. I&#039;ve learned since that to anyone in NYC &quot;upstate NY&quot; can mean the Bronx. Or maybe the Catskills.</p><p>I&#039;ve always wondered if Alma had ever done other works like that. It certainly isn&#039;t, IMHO, one of the classroom type. But who knows?</p><p><br /></p><p>For many years I checked every antique place for similar silk work. So few I kept thinking mine was one of a kind. I did find a spaniel dog, 25 x 20&quot;White, brown and beige on burlap type cloth. Mid 1800s. That too, was bought for $50 at the antique shop closing sale. It had one of those elaborate plaster frames which was really falling apart. I took all of it off and ended up with a plain wooden frame. Never even hung it in my house. Funny, just checked my old insurance file. That one was appraised and insured for $2,400. Don&#039;t ask me why, the appraiser passed away unexpectedly about 3 months after he did this. That piece I did sell at auction about ten years ago for $2,100.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0000b3"><a href="https://www.antiquers.com/members/moreotherstuff.56/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/members/moreotherstuff.56/">moreotherstuff</a> </span>Thank you, thank you for the sig. I copied and pasted. Makes it MUCH EASIER to work with. I&#039;d ask how the heck you did that, but still wouldn&#039;t to be able to duplicate it.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0000b3">Perhaps it is the lighting(?), but the silk thread looks to have a &quot;rainbow&quot; colors effect.</span>I don&#039;t think so. I&#039;d say definitely not. Some off-white, and many different shades of brown. Tan to almost black.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
