A furniture appraiser should document construction, materials, condition, repairs, originality, and the value purpose before assigning a figure.

Search by object type and location

Use specific searches such as antique furniture appraiser, period furniture appraisal, estate furniture appraisal, or appraisal for a named style plus your city or ZIP code.

Specialty matters. A general estate appraiser may triage, but high-value furniture often needs category expertise.

Ask practical questions first

Before booking, ask about credentials, sample reports, fee structure, turnaround time, travel costs, insurance, and whether the appraiser buys furniture they value.

Avoid value-contingent fees for formal appraisal work because they create a conflict.

Prepare a focused photo set

Send clear images of the whole piece, underside, drawers, labels, hardware, damage, repairs, dimensions, and provenance. This helps the appraiser decide whether a local inspection is necessary.

Do not refinish, clean aggressively, or replace hardware before the review.

Need a credible value opinion?

Upload clear photos, marks, dimensions, and condition notes. Appraisily can review the item remotely and explain which details affect value.
