I have an original oil painting from 1886 by H C Davis. H G perhaps. Anyone have any idea what the value might be. Frame is likely original and is in good but not great condition. Painting is fine. No damage other than age and dust. I don’t want to sell it in our family’s estate sale if it is something especially valuable. Just looking for some advice and any information on potential value. Resources too.
Thank you!!

Are you in the UK ?? Found several HG Davis such as the one above !! Many were floral still life paintings !! Can not see yours well enough to tell the style or the signature to match it !! These sites are subscription only so couldn`t see sale price !! You might take it to a gallery and see if they know !!
