We are not certified appraisers and do not offer appraisals. However, we have placed information on our site about how to go about obtaining a reliable appraisal.
DO YOU OFFER FRAMING AND MOUNTING?
We can arrange framing of artwork or mounting of objects. Frames come in a variety of traditional styles: gold-leaf, gold finish, natural wood and ebonized. We also offer custom stands for pocket globes, gavels, collectibles, coral and minerals, and various small decorative arts objects.
