Do you have experts to determine antique furniture styles and value? I have a pair of tables, a pair of side chairs, a mirror, and a chair. The furniture is estimated to be from the mid-19th century and does not have a maker's mark or serial number. Can you provide information on the style and value of these items?

I have 3 paintings made for my grandfather who was head of customs in Indonesia. My mother gave them to me and said they were worth a lot. The artist signed them and seems to be a famous artist who made them personally for my grandfather. The paintings are at least 50 to 60 years old and are in excellent condition. They are of Indonesian women and are in beautiful frames. What is the value of these paintings and who is the artist?
