What Is Antique Appraisal?

Before you can understand antique appraisal in Denver it is essential to know what qualifies as an antique. Many hold to the 100-year rule, believing that any collectible item over 100 years old qualifies as an antique. However, this definition is relatively flexible, and the term “antique” can apply to virtually any item with aesthetic or collectible value.

Antique appraisal is the process of determining an antique’s value. Typically, this involves looking at three main factors: the object’s authenticity or origin, the object’s rarity, and the age of the object. The condition of the antique also influences its value. For example, if there are only two remaining pieces of a particular type of antique, and one has been immaculately kept while the other has been left to rust away, the well-kept one will command a much higher price even though the two items share the same age and origin. Antique appraisal in Denver should entail a very extensive review of every aspect of an antique.

What to Expect from Antique Appraisal in Denver

In fact, visitors can take advantage of Kaminski Auction’s free appraisal services at our home auction house in Beverly, Massachusetts every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. or by appointment at our offices in West Palm Beach, Florida, San Diego, and Beverly Hills, California. If you have an antique you are thinking about selling, consigning your antique for auction through Kaminski Auctions can fetch a much higher price than you might expect.

During antique appraisal in Denver, the appraiser does not only review an antique to check its authenticity, quality, age, and rarity, but also provides an appraisal document to accompany the item. This document will effectively travel with the antique between owners to maintain a record of the item’s ownership and value. A solid antique appraisal in Denver should cover the antique’s Replacement Value, Fair Market Value, and Marketable Cash Value so the owner has a firm understanding of what kind of price the antique commands.
