The Importance of Antique Appraisals

Antiques are not only valuable in terms of money but also rich in history and cultural significance. An accurate appraisal is essential for various reasons, including insurance coverage, estate planning, sales, and personal knowledge. Our appraisals provide you with a clear understanding of the worth and importance of your antiques, helping you make informed decisions about their care and management.

Our Thorough Appraisal Process

Our appraisal process is designed to be meticulous and thorough, ensuring that each antique is evaluated with the highest level of expertise and precision. Here’s how we do it:

  1. Initial Consultation: We begin with an initial consultation to understand your needs and the specifics of your antique items. This step involves gathering information about the history, provenance, and condition of your pieces.
  2. Detailed Examination: Our appraisers conduct a detailed examination of each item, considering factors such as craftsmanship, materials, age, condition, and any distinguishing features. This step often involves careful measurement, photography, and documentation to capture the details that influence the item’s value.
  3. Research and Analysis: We utilize advanced research tools and databases to compare your items with similar pieces in the market. This comparative analysis helps us to determine the fair market value and historical significance of your antiques. We take into account recent sales data, market trends, and expert opinions to ensure an accurate valuation.
  4. Comprehensive Appraisal Report: After completing our research and analysis, we compile a comprehensive appraisal report. This report includes detailed descriptions, high-quality images, and the assessed value of each item. Our reports are clear, concise, and accepted by insurance companies, legal entities, and estate planners.

Expertise Across Various Antique Categories

Our team has extensive knowledge and experience in appraising a diverse range of antiques. Each category requires a unique approach and understanding of specific characteristics and historical context. For example:

  • Furniture: We evaluate the craftsmanship, materials, design, and historical context of antique furniture to determine its value. This includes assessing the condition of wood, joints, and any decorative elements.
  • Ceramics and Glassware: Our appraisers consider factors such as maker’s marks, glaze, firing techniques, and decorative styles when appraising ceramics and glassware.
