What types of items can you appraise?

We appraise a wide range of art and antiques including paintings, sculptures, furniture, decorative arts, jewelry, watches, collectibles, rare books, manuscripts, and more.

How does the online appraisal process work?

Upload clear photos and documentation, describe the item's condition and history, identify the intended use, and submit the selected order. Delivery timing is confirmed after the required evidence is received.

Are your appraisals accepted by insurance companies?

The receiving insurer sets its documentation, signer, inspection, and acceptance requirements. Ask the insurer what it needs before ordering, then use the Insurance Appraisal lane for replacement-value documentation when that scope fits.

How much does an appraisal cost?

Our appraisal fees vary based on the type of item, complexity, and purpose of the appraisal. Single item appraisals start at $59, with detailed quotes provided before proceeding.

Do you do home appraisals?

We appraise the contents of your home — art, antiques, collectibles, jewelry, and other personal property. We do not appraise real estate or buildings. If you need a valuation of household items for insurance, estate, or donation purposes, we can help.
