I've found many antique looking items in my loft- mostly paintings!

This is a link to the images of these items. There are paintings, cigarette cards and a spoon.

I would love to know more about them! What they are? Where they're from? If they're valuable? Thank you!

They're paintings I believe. They feel that way.

  The Royal Wedding, July 1981.  A commemorative teaspoon made by H M & Co, Sheffield. 

So many commemorative items were made and are still available that is most likely worth less than when purchased new. 
Here are some by the same company to show you the values (and they aren't selling):

The two pictures with figures are prints / copies of famous paintings. The third appears to be an engraving but again could be a litho print of one !
