Our Chinese Art Consultation and Appraisal Specialties
Why Commission an Art Appraisal ?
Our Art Appraisal for Insurance Coverage or Insurance Claim-Settlement will provide you with the crucial information you need to know in working with an insurance agent. Every work of art is unique and irreplaceable. A well-prepared value statement in an appraisal report will help you and your insurance agent take precautions to prevent or minimize loss. Our expertise, scholarly research on your object, and professional presentation of our value conclusion will convince your insurance agent why your art work is unique and irreplaceable, and why it should be protected and preseved properly.
Our Consultation Appraisal for Acquisition (buy) will equip you with the knowledge of the sophisticated global art market. To begin with, inspiring works of Chinese art have an aesthetic quality and a history that are difficult even for Ph.D.’s to appreciate and explain. In addition, the art market is quite unlike the real estate market, in that it is mysterious, difficult to learn about, and subject to significant fluctuation. You can’t just look up the previous sales records for the object you wish to buy. These important pieces of knowledge, however, are provided in a professional art appraisal for acquisition. Our art experts (Ph.Ds) are happy to serve as an extra pair of expert eyes on your behalf and help you build up a first-class art collection.
Our Consultation Appraisal for Disposition (sale) prepared by a first-rank art specialist (Ph. D. in Chinese Art and Tibetan Art) will allow you to present your art object to the auction house or a dealer with an expert's knowledge and confidence. You will not be overwhelmed by auction house representative or dealers who do not take the time to explain unfamiliar terminology from the worlds of Chinese aesthetics and modern art sales. A knowledgeable owner, educated about the object as well as how objects like it have fared on the market in the recent past, stands a much better chance of profit when negotiating from a position of strength.
An expert art appraisal not only prepares you to deal with professional buyers, but also opens new opportunities. Many people assume that an auction house will always offer the best value for their object, but that is often not true. You need to consider (and understand) an adjusted value estimate, the calculation of insurance costs, fees for catalog illustrations, buy-back reserve fees, and other extra charges and conditions typically subtracted from the hammer price of an auction sale. A professional art appraisal alerts you to these possible charges in clear language and also helps you think creatively about other options, including museum donation, gift to charity, and other measures that can help reduce your tax burden.
