If you bring into our office a high-class reproduction of a painting
by a famous artist thinking it may be an original, there is a
charge for an art appraisal if the item has value.
If we come into your home, and you ask us to appraise an antique
of nominal value, there is no charge. In fact, 25% of the items
we look at, we never charge for. There is a charge if the item has
value although.
If you want to sell an art work hoping to get $10,000 for it, and
we know its worth many times that, we don't try to buy it, but advise
you where to sell it for the higher price. Our Association by-laws
strictly forbid us buying anything from our clients, regardless
of price. This is the creed of the independent appraiser. We specialize
in honest art appraisals.
Today, honesty and integrity are rare, but not at the Chicago Appraisers
Association. We're not the best appraisers because were the country's
oldest...we're the country's oldest appraisers because we are the
best.
