I bought some Chinese furniture and art from a friend whose relative had passed. They had traveled Japan and China extensively. I'm trying to determine if I made a good buy. The pieces include a red chest and wardrobes. I believe they are Chinese and in good condition, but I'm unsure if they are knockoffs or true 19th-century pieces. Can you help assess their authenticity and value?

I have a belt with two buckles displayed off it, made of horsehair, and a bolo tie, both bought in the southern California area before 1995. The belt is not detachable without ruining the display, and there are no marks on the back of the bolo tie. What is the provenance and value of these items?
