art appraiserAPPRAISALS
We have previously prepared IRS (Internal Revenue Service) appraisals for the United States government, CCPERB (Canadian Cultural Property Review Board) appraisals for the Canadian government as well as insurance and FMV appraisals for many national and international corporations, not for profit organizations, public galleries, museums, insurance companies as well as private individuals.

We provide fine art appraisals prepared in accordance with the current appraisal standards as set forth by the International Society of Appraisers and in accordance with the current standards of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal practice. The appraisal is a carefully researched, scholarly document reflecting current market trends.

OUR METHOD
We will visit the location of the items to be appraised, do a condition inspection, take photographs, catalogue those items and document any provenance. Upon signing of a short contract a 50% retainer is collected, at which time the appraiser will begin his/her research. Upon completion of the appraisal report the appraiser will collect the remainder of the fee. Fees are not based on a percentage of the anticipated appraised value and we do not purchase items that we have appraised.

ASSET MANAGEMENT
We provide consulting services to include investment strategies, collection management, cataloguing, conservation and restoration choices, authentication and storage options.
