Vey much overpriced. It looks like a standard finish piece with a slightly unusual dog painting (they usually are flowers, indians, drunken monks, etc). The dediciation looks like an after-market addidition which is not uncommon. Normally this form and finish would be worth $400-$600 retail with the higher end for Indians and the top factory painters signature.
It could go for twice that estimate or more (maybe even in the range they want) IF they have rock-solid supportng factory provenance for it.
At my usual estate sales this would sell for about 100>300$ at the most.
FWIW
