How to prepare for a formal appraisal:
The appraiser’s fee is based on an hourly charge. Whatever you can do to prepare and organize items for the appraiser’s inspection will save time for the appraiser, and will save money for the client.
Create a list of the lots to be inspected.
Make all items accessible, remove items from wall (appraiser will need to inspect and photograph the back of art works hung on walls).
If items are in storage, please have them unpacked and laid out for inspection.
Please empty draws of furniture to be inspected.
Have any provenance/history/bills of sale/receipts/prior appraisals/restoration history on hand.
