An appraise can be carried out on demand for any reason that you wish to nominate.
Some of which could be:

  1. An inheritance
  2. A prospective purchase
  3. A sale
  4. etc....

A full report would be given, including:

  1. A complete description of the clock with details of its era, maker and manufacture, history, etc...
  2. A detailed study of all its physical qualities and drawbacks; the quality of its manufacture, its originality (do all the components originally belong to it), its completeness (anything missing, maybe?) and its present condition with all its possible problems.
  3. A valuation.


    ...a full Report
The valuation can be established in three ways:
  1. A valuation for inheritance purposes. (substantially lower thant its market value)
  2. The market value as if sold on an auction room floor, or
  3. The market value as if sold by an antique retailer.
Don't forget that what makes the true value of a clock are the three basic elements: Age, quality and condition.

The full report would also include one or more pictures of the item for easy and undisputable identification.

Of course, this valuation can be carried out in our workshop, at your home or anybody else's, at the auction room or at the dealer's.

We remain at your service.
