Order Our Appraisal or Consulting Services
Step 1: Contact Us with your questions. Send us any visual materials you may have about the Chinese painting, the art object, or the artist in question. We are happy to discuss the merits of different art appraisal packages we offer.
Step 2: Address your appraisal needs. In other words, tell us why you need an art appraisal, for example, sales, insurance, estate distribution, or charitable contribution, etc. Please be honest and specific about your needs, for an appraisal needs to be structured to reflect your needs.
Step 3: Explore the appraisal method. An on-site inspection is required for antique art works Pre-1911, unless you can provide the appraiser with a set of high quality photos of the object for research. We charge a minimum of $400 for an on-site inspection in our Princeton (NJ) office. If our appraisers travel to inspect the object, the client will be responsible for all the travel expenses, fees involved.
Step 4: Pay a deposit to initiate the research. With your approval of our proposal, we request payment of 50% of the appraisal fee before we start the research.
Step 5: Send the final payment prior to receiving the report. The final balance is due when we notify you via email that the report is completed. Once we receive the payment, a hard copy of the report will be sent to you via USPS, or a faster delivery (UPS, FedEx, DHL) at your cost.
We prefer a personal check or money order made out to WEI YANG ART, LLC, and mailed to "101 Overbrook Drive, Princeton, NJ 08540." You can also pay with PayPal (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express cards as well as other online payments supported by PayPal). International clients are required to make the payment via bank transfer, money order, or PayPal. Foreign personal checks will not be accepted.
All the Chinese art appraisals are conducted by our Chinese art specialist with a Ph.D. in Chinese art. Expertise, Quality and Professionalism are guaranteed.
Our Promise: Quality, Honesty, and Transparency
We are Chinese art professionals with experience and integrity. Quality, honesty and transparency are our most important values. We NEVER mislead you, and we will NEVER ask you to pay for services that are unnecessary for your art work. Our job is to provide you with objective advice: we are completely honest about the art you own and its likely performance in the current Chinese art market. The written report we prepare is based on thorough research on the history, style, and artistic background of your art, as well as the recent performance of similar objects on the Chinese art market.
We are transparent in providing high-quality professional services at a minimum cost. Before we begin research, we state what you can expect in a written report, explain the way we figure costs, and ask for your approval. We insist that you understand the appraisal process before committing to it, and we are happy to answer any questions you may have about the appraisal. We are often able to extend a discount for appraisal of multiple objects of a similar style or by the same artist.
We care about you and your art exclusively. As professional, independent art appraisers, we represent only you not potential buyers. If you are interested, please Contact Us, or call us at (609) 688-6891. We are happy to assist you with your Chinese art project at all levels.
