Appraisal expertise

Evidence-led review across art, antiques, and collectibles.

Appraisily reviews the object category, materials, marks, condition, provenance, and relevant market evidence so each report follows the decision the client needs to make.

Expertise examples

Category examples that affect value

Art and editions

Artist, medium, size, date, edition, signature, provenance, condition, and comparable sales shape the value opinion.

Antiques and design

Maker, period, material, construction, originality, restoration, and regional demand change the appraisal path.

Jewelry and luxury objects

Materials, marks, age, maker, condition, replacement context, and documentation needs guide review.

Collections and estates

Groups of objects may need triage before deciding which items justify individual signed reports.

Evidence method

How a report gets built

Photos and object clues

Clear images, marks, labels, signatures, condition details, dimensions, and provenance notes give the reviewer something real to inspect.

Comparable market evidence

Relevant sales are weighed against medium, date, size, condition, attribution confidence, and the stated purpose of the report.

Human review and reconciliation

A reviewer checks the research path, value conclusion, and wording before the finished report is delivered.

Documented output

The client receives a report that explains the conclusion, not just a number or an automated screen.

Proof before purchase

Inspect the deliverable, not just the claim.

Sample reports are the strongest public proof layer because they show what the appraisal output contains and how a value conclusion is explained.

Object summaryIdentification, category context, photos, and relevant object details.
Market evidenceComparable sales selected for similarity, condition, medium, date, and use case.
Value conclusionA documented opinion with assumptions, limitations, and signed PDF delivery.

Boundaries

Clear limits make the report stronger.

  • The screener is a first read. The signed report is the documented appraisal deliverable.
  • Auction records are inputs. The customer outcome is a usable appraisal decision, not auction search.
  • A report is an informed value opinion, not a promise that an object will sell for that number.
  • Photos can support strong review, but authentication or condition questions may still require additional evidence.
  • Institution-specific acceptance rules still control whether a third party accepts a report for its own process.

Decision support

The report should make the decision clearer.

Each page should help the visitor understand what evidence is reviewed, what the signed report contains, and why a documented appraisal is the right next step.

Start with the object. Leave with a documented decision.

Upload photos, share the context, and get a signed report built around evidence and human review.
