Hi everyone,
here is my list of valuable objects. The value comes from the material, from the workmanship or because they are rare. I did the list by walking through an imaginary mansion/villa and grouping the art objects. I hope the list is helpful.

Art objects

Statues: Statues come in all sizes from miniature to larger than life. They can be carved (from wood or ivory), cut from stone, cast from metal or sculpted (from clay or china). A list of materials is useful for all art objects! The statues often depict: Humanoids: Gods, angels and demons, heroes, beautiful maidens or are portraits (busts). Animals: Eagle, lion and horses are most common. Mythological beasts: Dragons, griffons and the Pegasus are top of the list. Take a look at the place, where you find the statue: In a bathroom you are more likely to find dolphins and mermaids.

Jewelry: Rings: Earrings, normal rings, signet rings. Headgear: headband, tiara, coronet, comb and hairpins. Necklace: Chain, holy symbol, locket (with miniature paintings inside). Brooch, medals, “fibel”(= brooch or ring and pin to fasten your cloak). Bracers or armbands. In campaigns with gnomes and mechanical objects perhaps a watch.

Furniture:  Bed, table, chairs, wardrobe, cupboard, large chest, “secretary” (=small writing desk), small make up desk for a boudoir, large mirror. In campaigns with gnomes and mechanical objects perhaps a grandfather clock. 

Paintings: Wall-painting, mosaic, oil-painting (or tapestry) depicting: War scene, hunting scene, mythological scene, erotic scene, some kind of portrait, flowers, food-stuff. The frame of an oil-painting is often an art object in its own right.

Small box or chest made to contain: Make up for women or shaving gear for men, letters, jewelry, sweets, pipe or chewing tobacco.

Vase for flowers, flowerpot, amphora, urn, chamber-pot

Games: Chessboard or other board game, hand-painted deck of cards, balls for boule.

Cutlery (most often silver), plates and goblets, bowls, cups and so on…

Clothing:  Hats, vest, shirt, cloak, trousers, shoes, skirt, robe, (sword)belt, gloves and so on…(could be silk with embroidery)

Curtains or tablecloth (with lacework and embroidery)

Carpet  or bear-hide for the floor.

Trophies: Hunting trophies or monster trophies – skillful taxidermist work…

Pipe or water-pipe for smoking

Writing gear: Inkwell, paperknife, penknife, stamp/seal

Books: Especially illustrations make these valuable. Could be about “herbs” or “the art of hunting with birds”

Weapons and armor: These are often made for show rather than for use…

Light-source: Candlestick, Chandelier, oil-lamp, stained glass window.

Miscellaneous: hand-mirror, fan, umbrella, walking cane, hand bag, purse

Musical instruments: Harp, lute, flute, bagpipe, drum, (piano) and so on…

Models: World-model (globe), model of the solar-system, ship-model and so on…

Tools: This one is rather unusual, but I could imagine for example the dwarves awarding a golden hammer to the best smith and a golden pick to the best miner…
