Appraisals
We provide formal appraisal reports for the purpose of:
Insurance
Insurance companies require an independent appraisal for scheduled fine art items. Periodic appraisal review and updates ensure that insurance coverage schedules reflect changes in the art market.
Donation
Appraisals for donation determine the appropriate value of items donated to non-profit and charitable organizations. The Internal Revenue Service requires an independent appraisal with comparables for items or a collection of items over a certain value.
