We offer qualified professional appraisal of antique or contemporary art. Our experience includes identification, cataloging and valuation of large collections or individual works. We serve the entire Chicago region and come to your home or office for inspection. Our appraisals are “professional independent conclusions of value” qualified for use with the IRS, legal documentation for trust, estates, or litigation, and certified for insurance. We bill by the hour and can provide realistic estimates for most tasks.
We have experience with painting, prints, etchings, craft objects, decorative arts, cultural property, design, or sculpture. When you have an eclectic collection of works and objects we are generally able to include anything in the home (or garage).
The professionals at Adams Appraisal are qualified to provide certified appraisals to properly insure art, collectables, furnishings, business equipment, and residential content. We provide evidence based valuation of comparable replacement cost, inventories, photography, for you and your insurer.
