WHY YOU NEED US:

You may want to retain an appraiser to assist you in settling an estate, establishing value for a charitable donation, obtaining insurance, settling a damage claim, or for setting a price for a purchase or sale. Perhaps you merely need a professional opinion of value for objects that may be retained as valuable assets. Lenders are required to acquire an appraisal report prepared by an impartial and unbiased appraiser to obtain an opinion of the value for collateral. You may also need a valuation for financial reporting or gift tax purposes. We will conduct an on-site inspection where we will inventory, photograph, and carefully document all objects to be included in the report. Here are some of our areas of expertise:

Decorative Art – Antique and Vintage European and American Furniture, Glass, Lighting, Silver, Ceramics, Clocks, Rugs, Books & Manuscripts.

Fine Art – Old Master to Contemporary Paintings, Drawings, Prints, Sculpture, and Photography.

Collectibles – Jewelry, Couture, Luxury Goods, Rare Antique Coins, Games, Toys, Posters, etc.

​​Please note: No tourist type collectibles will be appraised.


HOW IT WORKS:

  1. We inspect, photograph and catalogue the artwork at your home, office or other facility. We can arrange virtual appointments as well.

  2. Apply our expertise to determine its quality, relative importance, history and condition.

  3. Carefully consider the marketplace for your item, thoroughly researching the appropriate data.

  4. Value your artwork for the intended application and deliver your report.
