Examination Appointment

Your formal appraisal begins with setting an appointment for an examination of your items. The appraiser’s objective at the inspection is to gather pertinent information that best describes the item, including the item’s name, size, markings, and condition. The appraiser also takes digital images of the item to be included in the certified appraisal report. Taking time preparing for the examination will shorten the exam, reduce unnecessary handling of items, and save you money.

Identification and Research

Using the information collected at the examination appointment, the appraiser works to positively identify each item, which is essential to arriving at an accurate value. Our team will then utilize our vast network of international research sources to gather up-to-date pricing information on identical or similar pieces sold throughout the world.
