| Insurance Appraisals are an essential component of an antique or fine art collection. We prepare written insurance appraisals for a single item or an entire collection. |
| We also prepare Equitable Personal Property Division Appraisals. It is not unusual to require assistance when dividing or giving items to members of a family. Sentimental value can impact the difficulty of dividing the objects equally. Fair market value appraisals are an appropriate way to assist in the decision process: a procedure that is often emotionally charged for those involved. Anne Weston & Associates are not dealers, nor are we associated with any particular auction house. We are an independent appraisal firm. |
| WHY CHOOSE ANNE WESTON & ASSOCIATES? |
We are a team of experienced appraisers who provide written appraisals tailored to the needs of the client. Whether it is a general household appraisal or a collection of antiques or fine art, Anne Weston & Associates, has on call specialists in silver, paintings, ceramics, jewelry, American and European furniture, prints and drawings.
A decade spent working in England - after working, researching and writing in the American furniture and decorative arts field - provides Anne Weston with a multi-layered network of specialists and contacts who can provide assistance in determining value and/or the appropriate marketplace. A recent gift appraisal of an aviation trophy to the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum required assistance from a specialist trophy dealer. From their gallery in London, this specialist has privately handled sales of very rare aviation objects. |
