Davis Cabinet Company Bedroom Set

Category
American Furniture
Condition
Good
Description

I received an entire bedroom set as part of an estate.  A long dresser with mirror, two nightstands (one of two pictured below) a powder table with an intact mirror inside that extends and a king size headboard & footboard.   I have been able to find very little information about this particular set online so I'm hoping to find some help here. 
Here's what I know...the set is made of solid Ash wood and the finish MAY have either been custom or redone since it's handwritten on the tags as "French Gray & Blue".  The only thing that leads me to believe it was possibly done by the Davis Co. is that from the tags I have viewed online the finish is usually typed in...this tag was left blank in the area above "Finish", and later the finish was handwritten in.  Had there been a stock/standard finish done by the company initially I would think it would have typed in like all the other tags???  The set is at least 80 years old (based on how long the last owners owned it - although it may be much older since it belonged to their parents). 
The condition is really good for its age.  There is no structural damage, lifting, bowing - but it could use a new finish. 
So my question is this...how much is this worth as it stands?  Would it be more valuable as a set or should I sell it in pieces?  (Although I am considering keeping it for myself as it is gorgeous!)  And would painting it decrease its value?

Shelley Art Deco Flapper Girl Figurine with Fox stole and cup of tea

Category
Ceramics and Porcelains
Condition
Mint
Description

From my grandmother's collection.  She has asked me to sell her pieces on eBay but I really have no idea of the value of this figurine. It is in mint condition apart from one tiny scratch on the back of the pedestal the girl is sitting on.

Would someone be able to please advise me, is $200 a fair price?
