Art Appraisal Resources
JULY 13, 2023
Value matters and an art appraisal completed by a qualified art appraiser can save you substantial money by not selling too low, insuring too low, or paying too much in estate tax or equitable distribution. A pre-purchase appraisal can also help to understand the accurate market for the work and what is an appropriate amount of money to spend. Appraisals are crucial in the art market, providing essential information about artworks' value, authenticity, and condition.

When the pandemic hit us full force in 2020, business skyrocketed. We had never been busier! If I had tried to do everything the same way I did before, hiring someone just to turn down offers wouldn’t be a joke. It used to be that I would never dream of turning down an offer.

We all have our hobbies. I’ve talked to people who enjoy everything from quilting to drag racing to bird watching, and everything in between.

With gold prices being as high as they are, now is a good time to for a quick refresher on precious metals marks. Even small amounts of scrap gold can quickly add up, so you may have some ready cash lying around and not even realize it. Pure gold is 24K but typically isn't used for jewelry due to its softness. Instead, gold is mixed with base metals such as copper for, which adds hardness but also lowers the purity.
