Do You Offer Free Antique Valuation or a Free Consultation?

Yes. We are pleased to offer a free initial consultation for antiques, vintage objects and collectibles.

If you would like to learn more about an item, simply send us clear photographs together with any information you may know, such as its dimensions, materials, markings, origin or history.

Based on the information you provide, we can offer an initial opinion regarding the object’s authenticity, historical significance, collector interest and potential market appeal.

In some cases, additional photographs or information may be required before a more detailed assessment can be made.

Please note that an online consultation is not the same as a formal written appraisal, authentication or insurance valuation. However, it is often the best first step in understanding the history, rarity and potential significance of your object.

With more than 35 years of experience in the world of antiques and collecting, we are always happy to share our knowledge and help collectors, families and enthusiasts better understand the objects they own.

What Should I Send?

To help us provide the most accurate initial consultation, please include:

• Clear photographs from several angles
• Close-up images of signatures, hallmarks, labels or maker’s marks
• Photographs of the front, back, underside and important details
• Approximate dimensions
• Information about the materials, if known
• Any available history or provenance
• Information about where and how the object was acquired or inherited

The more information you provide, the more accurate and helpful our initial consultation can be.

Why Start with a Consultation?

Many remarkable discoveries begin with a simple question.

Some objects that appear ordinary may turn out to have historical or collector significance, while others may simply hold sentimental value for a family.

Our goal is to help you better understand what you own and to point you in the right direction before making any decisions.

Our Advice

Before cleaning, restoring or repairing an old object, seek professional advice.

Original surfaces, natural patina, maker’s marks and honest signs of age often contribute to an object’s historical and collector value.

Even if an item proves not to be rare, discovering its story is often just as valuable as discovering its price.
