What to document first

For an Erte signed and numbered bronze, document the signature, edition number, foundry or publisher marks, base, patina, cold-painted areas, and any certificate or invoice.

Avoid polishing, repainting, or removing the base before appraisal. Surface condition and original finish are part of the evidence that supports attribution and value.

Value factors

Value depends on identification evidence, condition, completeness, intended use, timing, and the market where the property would realistically be sold or replaced. Keep confirmed facts separate from assumptions and preserve documents before moving objects.

No public market evidence are asserted here. Use verified sold records, specialist databases, and object-specific evidence before relying on any market range.

When to request an appraisal

Request a professional appraisal when the property may be insured, donated, sold, inherited, divided in an estate, or reported for tax purposes. Include photos and documentation so the appraiser can recommend the right level of review.
