Valuing Your Antique
Our Antique specialists are highly skilled and knowledgeable experts who look at different factors when valuing your antique to ensure that you will receive an accurate and up to date valuation. The four most important factors are:
AUTHENTICITY
Making sure that something is what it looks to be is at the heart of all valuations. Looking for the tell-tale signs of a bona fide antique includes checking the design fine detail of the piece. Hallmarks or designers’ marks can be evidence of its value.
RARITY
Some antiques can command a large valuation price, even with a few little flaws. An antique’s rarity can drive up its value, regardless of age or provenance. The market can determine the valuation and a sought-after piece will always secure a higher valuation than more commonplace antiques.
CONDITION
An antique’s condition is critical to its valuation. Two identical pieces can fetch different valuations based on their condition. Small chips and scratches might be considered flaws that don’t dramatically change the value of the antique, but a major crack or a broken mechanism might affect the valuation.
PROVENANCE
Being able to trace an antique’s history can make a real difference to its valuation. An antique’s provenance – the history of its ownership – can help validate origin and authenticity. The more documentation or evidence you can supply about the antiques ownership, the greater the chance of a higher value valuation.
