I need to get a painting appraised for insurance purposes. The painting is 'Pretty in Pink' by Frantisek Dvorak, painted in 1916 in Prague. It is oil on canvas with a hand-carved wooden frame designed by the artist. It was previously bought at the Austin Auction Gallery in Austin, Texas, for $90,000 and before that at Jan's & Co. Fine Antiques, Inc. in Los Angeles, CA, for $100,000. What information or appraisal can you provide to help with my insurance needs?

I have two mesh purses that were my grandmother's, one stamped with Mandalian Co and the other with Whiting and Davis Co. The Mandalian purse is from around 1920, and the Whiting and Davis purse is probably from 1930. The Whiting and Davis purse has a blue silk lining with no tears. How much might these purses be worth?
