Collections are one of the most important-and often most valuable-components of an estate. The specific subject varies endlessly, but the defining factor is that a collection exists. Whatever you collect, we appraise it.
Below is a representative (non-exhaustive) list of collections we have appraised:
- Books and private libraries
- Art glass
- Ivory carvings
- Art prints
-
Seashells
-
Lladró figurines
-
Handguns

Watches

Hummel figurines
-
Paintings

Antique tools

Collections frequently represent years-or decades-of focused acquisition and knowledge. When properly documented and marketed, they can be among the most financially significant elements of an estate
