Do you have any questions about the furniture appraisal?
The cost of an appraisal is as unique as the piece of furniture and the circumstances surrounding it. It depends on the scope of the examination required, the amount of research involved, and the complexity of the case. After an initial, non-binding inquiry and clarification of the issue, we will provide you with a transparent, written quote that details all applicable costs. This gives you full cost certainty from the very beginning.
The duration depends on the size, type of furniture, and scope of the appraisal. Small pieces of furniture can be appraised in a few days, while complex or antique pieces may take several weeks. On-site appraisals extend the time required but increase the accuracy.
Photos, dimensions, year of manufacture, materials, previous repairs, defects, or damage are helpful. The more detailed the information, the more accurate the appraisal will be. All relevant documentation supports the objective evaluation by our furniture appraisers.
