Fine Art, Decorative and Practical Arts – Antiques, Porcelain and Glassware, Furniture, Sterling Silver, and more.
I regularly evaluate and appraise fine art – paintings, sculptures, and prints of all kinds, as well as practical arts such as furniture, Lalique, Steuben, and Bohemian art glass; Meissen, Royal Bayreuth, Villeroy and Boch, and related porcelains; Pennsylvania Dutch furniture, Gorham silver service, clocks, and much more.
Formal appraisals are written to address specific needs and intended uses: Obtaining insurance or settling an insurance claim, estate planning, and valuations for IRS tax calculations, museum and charitable donations, as well as equitable distribution – including divorce, business acquisition, and liquidation, etc.
The appraisal process includes an on-site examination, assessment, inventory, photography, market research, and valuation of the property, all contained in a USPAP-compliant appraisal report.
Whether you’re better served by a Formal Written Appraisal, Value Discovery Consultation, or Sales Advisory Opinion, I will recommend steps that will expedite the process and estimate the total time of the project prior to making any commitment.
