Artifactual History Appraisal
MAY 6, 2020
A Note from the Co-Editor: As an appraiser, I frequently invite new clients to send me pictures of their items so I can review them in advance and better assist with designing an appraisal scope of work that is most appropriate to their needs. Provenance Paint? Do you see kiln marks? FURNITURE: A.

Examples of retail replacement value are the price an art gallery asks for a painting in their inventory, the asking price of a table by a furniture designer, or the manufacturer listed price of a sterling silver serving item. Users of appraisal services should feel empowered to actively ask questions about how their needs can best be met.

Over the years, I have spent a lot of time on the phone trying to help people determine if the painting they found in a garage sale is worth anything. I took no pleasure in having to explain that they had one of the many reproductions of the painting and their hopes of having won the art lottery was only a lovely dream.
