Most art auctioneers specialize in certain artists or kinds of works. The correct auctioneer will achieve much higher prices at auction than the wrong one. We known most auctioneers and we are happy to walk you through the process, get you pre-auction sales and make all introductions to some of the finest auction houses in the world.

Museum Insurance Appraisal
Many museums who have suffered fire, floods, breakage and theft have sadly discovered that their collections were under-insured. We are insurance experts and are familiar with the most recent values of your rare items. Insurance companies will often insure your items, but upon loss, they demand documented proof of value by a certified appraiser. If they feel the declared value is too high or unproven, they may contest reimbursement for the loss. Even worse, their adjusters may offer too little for a valuable work. Our appraisal services establish proven Insurance Replacement Value by the use of the most up to date and pertinent comparable values. We have appraised entire art museums and also have worked as consultants for insurance companies. We know what is needed to properly verify Insurance Replacement Value. All reports are written in compliance with USPAP Report Writing Standards.
