This appears to be a reproduction or later printing of a historic county map titled:
• “Lancashire, 1598 WSR”
The wording beneath the title seems to reference:
• “Copied from Morden / Speed / Saxton”-type cartographic sources (hard to read precisely in the photo),
• and the map style imitates late 16th- or early 17th-century English county maps.
The original map design dates to:
• late 1500s / early 1600s
This framed print itself looks considerably later., however the framers stamp claims it is at least 100 years old.
My estimate for this actual print:
• Late 1800’s – early 1900’s
Whilst this clearly has some considerable age, indicated by the fold lines and foxing, A genuine engraved Lancashire map from around 1598–1610 would normally show:
• laid paper with chain lines,
• copperplate indentation,
• uneven hand-applied watercolour,
• and more significant aging/foxing.

A very evocative late-Victorian/Edwardian style print, depicting a Highland or rural Scottish Father and children in a dramatic landscape scene, ‘The Crofter, protecting his children from the storm’.
from the photo, a few things stand out:
• The printing style looks like a chromolithograph or early colour photoprint — a popular format from the late 19th to early 20th century.
The ornate gilt frame style is consistent with framing commonly used between 1890 and 1930.

Likely produced circa 1895–1925
• The wide cream mat has naturally aged and toned, which supports genuine age rather than a recent reproduction.
The frame may be original or slightly later, but it looks old enough to plausibly be contemporary with the print.

A late Victorian or early 20th-century reproduction print of a sentimental domestic genre painting — the “see-saw” theme was very popular in European art prints around 1880–1920.
A few things I can tell from the image:
• The artwork itself looks like a reproduction of a 19th-century academic or genre scene painting, probably Dutch or French influenced.
• The visible signature at lower left suggests it copies an original artist’s work, but this framed piece is unlikely to be the original painting.
• The dark stained wooden frame and overall presentation are very consistent with Edwardian to interwar home décor.
• The glass has significant age darkening/reflection, and the print beneath appears to have the slightly soft tonal quality of an old photogravure or collotype reproduction rather than a modern poster print.
My best estimate:
The print and framing are probably from around 1900–1930

The Cottage at Whittington (Nr Worcester) by artist W. Swindell
A few things stand out immediately:
• The subject is a traditional English rural cottage scene, likely inspired by a real village location.
• The painting style is modest but competent — typical of a regional British artist or serious amateur painter.
• The heavy gilt swept frame appears older than the previous picture and could date from the late Victorian to early 20th century.
• The painting surface and craquelure suggest genuine age rather than a modern decorative reproduction.
Likely painted between about 1890 and 1930
The frame itself may also be from roughly that period, though it has had some repainting/touch-up around the corners.
A few details that support that dating:
• muted earth pigments,
• traditional rural subject,
• compact board/canvas format,
• and the deep moulded gilt frame style popular around 1900–1925.

About the artist: Danielle Tsiantar
• There appears to be very limited published information about Danielle Tsiantar, which usually indicates:

However, the quality of the painting suggests a capable and experienced hand, especially in:
• wet-in-wet sky technique,
• tonal perspective,
• and reflective water handling.
The surname “Tsiantar” is uncommon and may indicate Greek or Eastern Mediterranean family origins.

This is a decorative mid-20th-century style landscape oil painting commonly titled “The Windmill” — a romantic rural scene featuring a traditional European windmill beside calm water under dramatic skies.
Signature
From the image, the signature is difficult to read clearly. That usually means one of two things:
• it may have been painted by a studio/decorative artist,
• or by a regional painter whose work circulated mainly through furniture and interiors shops rather than fine-art galleries.
Many paintings of this type were handmade originals produced for:
• hotels,
• interior decorators,
• furniture stores,
• and export markets.
The frame
The frame is very characteristic of the 1960s–70s:
• heavy textured gilt finish,
• geometric relief pattern,
• bold decorative presence.
Interestingly, the frame itself may now be almost as collectible as the painting because retro interior styles are fashionable again.

This is an intriguing and rather dramatic portrait work titled “Auda Abu Tayi, The Greek”, attributed to the Bristol artist Joyce McDonald.
Who was Auda Abu Tayi?
Auda Abu Tayi was a famous Bedouin tribal leader and warrior who became internationally known through:
• the Arab Revolt during World War I,
• his alliance with T. E. Lawrence (“Lawrence of Arabia”),
• and later portrayals in film and literature.
He was famously portrayed by Anthony Quinn in the classic film Lawrence of Arabia.
Why “The Greek”?
The subtitle “The Greek” is interesting and may refer to:
• the artist’s interpretation of the actor’s features,
• a nickname or thematic reference,
• or an artistic blending of Mediterranean/Arab imagery.
Since Anthony Quinn himself had Greek and Mexican heritage associations in many public perceptions, the title may intentionally blur:
• historical figure,
• cinematic character,
• and classical Mediterranean portraiture.

The stamp indicates he was a professional marquetry craftsman and apparently held or referenced the prestigious Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF) distinction. That is a respected French craftsmanship award and generally increases collectability.
There are three pictures by this artist in the collection:

2. Architectural arcade/street scene
3. Mediterranean/French village street scene
The workmanship appears quite good:

• Good perspective work
• Fine cutting around windows, arches and buildings
• Decorative hardwood frames
• Artist-signed on the front
• Authenticity stamp and date on the reverse

About Dominique Ciamarone
The stamp indicates he was a professional marquetry craftsman and apparently held or referenced the prestigious Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF) distinction. That is a respected French craftsmanship award and generally increases collectability.
There are three pictures by this artist in the collection:
1. Alpine mountain scene (looks inspired by the Matterhorn/Zermatt region)
2. Architectural arcade/street scene
3. Mediterranean/French village street scene
The workmanship appears quite good:
• Multiple veneer species used
• Good perspective work
• Fine cutting around windows, arches and buildings
• Decorative hardwood frames
• Artist-signed on the front
• Authenticity stamp and date on the reverse
