Can you appraise an armoire ?

It's supposed to have been made here in Louisiana. It belonged to my great grandmother at least back in the 1920's maybe longer.

It has been in storage for years since we moved to a condo in Metairie. I plan to consign it for auction later on.

Appriasal - Diamond & Sapphire Brooch

I have a 6 Ct. diamond & sapphire brooch I plan on selling at auction later this year. Back in 1982, a jeweler once told my grandmother that the sapphires were synthetic but he didn't do anything but look at it. Can you tell if they are real or fake ? The pin is from the 1930's. The diamond is about 3 ct. with large sapphires (3 ct. also) set all around it.

I have 2 pieces reputed to be made here in N.O. but the hallmarks are weak and almost indistinguishable. What do you suggest ?
