How to Prepare Your Items for Appraisal
To ensure the most accurate valuation, gather any documentation you have: original receipts, previous appraisals, provenance letters, exhibition records, or photographs showing the item's history. Important: Avoid cleaning or restoring items before appraisal — original patina and condition are critical for accurate assessment. Our experts will guide you through the process, explaining the factors that influence value: rarity, condition, provenance, and current market demand. Whether you have a single heirloom or an entire estate, we provide compassionate, professional service tailored to your goals.
