REDUCE RISK when valuing your personal property
An appraisal can reduce risks such as being over - or under insured, inequitably dividing personal property as part of an estate, being audited when claiming a deduction for charitable contributions or filing estate taxes, or selling for too little/paying too much.
ORGANIZE, MANAGE and PRESERVE your art
Cataloguing provides a documented inventory of your art objects and can be presented in a book form or entered into a relational database, providing a digital archive that can be sorted and viewed for any purpose.
BE ADVISED on PURCHASE or SALES
Art advisory helps prospective buyers define, select, research and buy art tailored to their unique aesthetic preferences and budgets. Our comprehensive understanding of the art market can provide purchase and sales services for a single object of entire collection.
