Megret statues

Category
Fine Art
Condition
Good
Description

Two bronze statues approx 6-7" one bears the inscription 'SOSIAS' the other 'MERCURIS" both inscribed with the artist's name 'MEGRET' on the base. 

I have done some research and Megret is a neoclassical artist from France (1829-1911).  The statues represent a tale named Amphitryon from Greek Mythology.  Megret himself is best known for another work 'The Bust of Richard Cobden' and that isreally all I know.  I have found articles about his personal life and some of the books he has written.

antique desk with hutch - can anyone tell me about it?

Category
Furniture
Condition
Excellent
Description

I just aquired an Antique (Secretary) Desk with top piece (hutch?). It looks like it’s made of Cherry or possibly Mahogany.

Baught in Pennsylvania 

Don’t know any of the history

Can anyone tell me more about it?

What style is this? What time period could it be from - is it early American?

Is it worth getting the piece insured?

Opinions greatly appreciated
