THE DETAILS

Value depends
on the purpose.

An insurance figure is not the same as a resale offer. Tell us what the appraisal is for so we can use the correct standard.

Replacement value

What it would cost to replace the piece with a similar one. This is the standard insurance companies normally ask for.

Fair market value

What the piece might sell for between a willing buyer and seller. This differs from the cost of replacing it at retail.

HOW IT WORKS

From the initial visit to a useful written record.
