Antique Appraisals

What are your antiques worth?
To find the value of an antique you need to know many factors including the current market strength, the condition of the item in complete detail as well as the exact make, model and variety.

To get an accurate antique appraisal you need check many sources including retail asking prices in antique stores, recent auction results, antique price guide publications and professional or collector opinions. Some antiques may be easy to appraise but others require the effort of a professional antiques appraiser. Since you are here we will go ahead and assume you are seeking the help of a professional antique appraiser.

We offer low cost antique valuations. We quote retail value, wholesale value and insurance replacement values. Retail value appraisals are based on what you'd expect to pay for your antique at an antique store or gallery. Wholesale value is the amount you'd expect to receive from an antique dealer for the purchase of your antique. This is usually the most realistic value because it is often much easier and faster to find an antiques dealer willing to purchase your antique than it is to find the specific collector looking for your item. Lastly we offer insurance replacement values. For the most part these are the same as retail values but for items that are considered "non replaceable" other factors need to be figured in as you might expect.

Who are we and what can we do for you?

We are a group of people in the antiques business including auctioneers, appraisers, antique dealers and collectors.

We offer web based antique value appraisals starting at just $25.00 per item for antiques valued up to $10,000.00. We will need as much detailed information from you as possible including any marks, names, complete item description, and many photographs with closeups as well as your opinion of the items condition. Based on the information provided to us we will give you an approximate value for your item.

For more detailed and exact appraisals or for items & estates valued higher than $10,000.00 we will need to see the items in person. This would either require the items to be sent or for us to travel to your location. The costs for this service varies depending on the amount of travel and time required.
