How does appraising work?
Gathering accurate information for an appraisal is crucial. This can involve using special lighting, magnification, accurate measurements, etc. Looking at the back, bottom, or inside of an item can often reveal hidden clues. Information on the provenance (where it came from) is sometimes important in putting a value on an item, but not always.
An appraiser develops an “opinion of value” based many things, including research and experience. The results are in no way contingent upon the fees.Â

Professional Appraisals
Our certified professional appraisals can be used either for Insurance, Estates, Divorce, IRS Donation, Liquidation, etc.  As with any good art appraiser, our fees are not connected with outcome, but are based on our hourly rate. The final cost of an art or personal-property appraisal can range depending on the hours of research required.
