What to document first
Online antique appraisal accuracy depends on evidence quality. Send sharp front, back, detail, mark, scale, and damage photos rather than a single room-view image.
State the purpose of the review: sale, insurance, donation, estate settlement, or identification. The value definition and level of certainty change with the assignment.
Value factors
Value depends on identification evidence, condition, completeness, market demand, intended use, and whether the assignment requires a written report or initial screening.
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 item 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.
