Solve A Value Mystery

WHAT’S IT WORTH?”

YOU THINK IT WOULD BE EASY TO FIGURE OUT.

But there can be several answers to such a question, with some more accurate than others. When appraising fine art, rare books, and material culture – context is key.

After all, value itself is an ever-changing target. It is influenced by a multitude of factors including artist/maker, age, rarity, cultural significance, provenance, condition, buyer demand, and so on.

With so many nuances, your best option is to engage a qualified appraiser. We are here to help solve your value mystery by providing customized reports supported by evidence, research, and analysis.


“I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS.

AN INTERNET SEARCH JUST CONFUSES YOU.

You started this journey simply wanting to know more about what you have inherited or bought. Yet, after conducting some online research, you’re only further confused. One site tells you it’s an authentic piece, and another makes you wonder if it’s actually a copy.

While we all have access to the internet, discerning which sources are reliable and what they are really saying between the lines is a skill honed daily by qualified appraisers. Knowledge and experience allow specialists to identify what you have and then correctly interpret the market data available for the purposes of your appraisal.

Let us help you lift the veil of the seemingly mysterious world of fine art, rare books, and antiques.
