I have a Bronze Statue named "L'ACCOLADE" by P.J. Mene, dated 1869. I bought the piece at an Estate Sale about 20 years ago in Sacramento, CA. Mene was a famous bronze artist in France, and he signed the bronze base. The statue features a mare and a stallion flirting before mating, weighs about 35 lbs, is about 24" long and 16" tall including the bronze and marble bases, and has a factory stamp on the bronze base. There is also a metal name plate on the marble base. How can I send images of the statue for appraisal, and what else should I know about this piece?

I have a painting that has been in my husband's family for almost 50 years. It is signed by the artist and numbered, with the signature appearing as 'Ortega' with spaces between the letters. Is this an artist anyone is familiar with?

I have an antique cast iron fence in my yard that I am considering replacing. I would like to know what a good price would be and where locally to sell it. The fence is in fair condition with some broken pieces, consists of 17 posts and about 15 sections, most of which are about 8 ft long, and includes 2 rusty gates. The fence was made by the Russell Foundry in the 1800s and was moved from the Belleville Cemetery to my house in Newburyport around 1970. I have photos from the day it was moved, but no other written documentation.
