Appraisals

Whether for insurance purposes or personal reasons,we offer quick appraisals of your damaged antiques. We have two decades experience working with insurance companies on behalf of our customers.

Our appraisal service also allows our customers to make an informed decision on whether to invest in the restoration of a damaged antique. We understand that some pieces have more sentimental value than it would ever fetch at auction, but in the case where you are in possession of a damaged antique that you are considering for an investment, we will provide an estimate of the current market value of a similar piece in good condition and then offer our appraisal of the market value of your antique after repair and restoration. In many cases, depending on many factors, especially the rarity of the item, the restored value can be as much as 80% or 90% of the piece in original condition.

For an immediate response, send us an email with a description of the piece along with as many photos as are needed to show the condition of the piece. Be sure to include detail shots showing any damage as well as construction technique, inlays, carvings or anything thing else that you think may make the piece special.

Usually we can give an accurate appraisals from just the photos and your description but we will contact you promptly be return email or telephone if we have additional questions.
