Services
Whether you have a single item or a large collection, we will create a report that will meet your appraisal needs.
Insurance Scheduling
Depending on your insurance, your fine art items may be excluded from your homeowner’s policy. Scheduling your art objects ahead of time can often be a cost effective way of avoiding disputes in the future. The insurance appraisal report can be submitted to the insurance company to facilitate this process.
Insurance Damage Loss Claims
In the event of a loss incident, documenting any damage, or the total loss of the item, as soon as possible with an accurate valuation may assist in the claims process.
