I have a few items picked up at an auction and I don’t know anything about them but they look expensive. Can you help identify and estimate the value of these items?

I have an old picture frame that I purchased 40 years ago. It is 30 inches by 42 inches with a lighter inner beading and timber dowels joining the outer thicker section to the inner section. The inner frame that holds the canvas is made of cedar wood. I am curious about its age, origin, and value. Can you provide any information on these aspects?

I have a large painting by Joseph Karlsbader and an Asian porcelain vase. I’d like some information about them and an idea of their worth. I have a screenshot from the back of the painting but no information on the vase. The vase is in excellent condition, but I don’t know its age, and there are no identifying marks on the bottom.

I purchased a full-length sheared beaver coat for my wife in 1995 for our 25th wedding anniversary. Due to a recent house fire, the coat was sent off to be cleaned but never returned. I'm looking for an appraisal value to discuss with the cleaning service for a settlement. Can you provide a quote if I send you some photographs, and what are your costs?
