Valuation
What Influences Appraisal Costs?
Every artwork is unique, and our pricing reflects the time and expertise needed to deliver an accurate valuation. Key factors include:
- Type of Artwork: Complex pieces (e.g., rare artwork, obscure artists) require more research than well-documented works.
- Appraisal Purpose: Insurance appraisals (replacement value) may differ in scope from fair market value appraisals for sales or donations.
- Condition and Provenance: Artworks with unclear ownership history or restoration needs take longer to evaluate.
- Collection Size: Large collections or estates may qualify for bundled pricing.
- Urgency: Rush appraisals (e.g., completed within 48 hours) may incur a premium.
We provide a detailed cost estimate upfront, so you know exactly what to expect.
