OUR PROCESS & COMMITMENT

We are dedicated to delivering detailed appraisal reports with accuracy, thoroughness, and the highest level of professional integrity. Each report is prepared in a timely manner, reflecting our commitment to precision, reliability, and strict compliance with industry standards. Our appraisals are tailored to meet the specific objectives of each client. We take a transparent approach, clearly communicating our process and methodology at every stage of the engagement.

Our appraisal process begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your needs, followed by a review of the artwork and its context—including purpose, provenance, and any relevant documentation. A visual examination is conducted to assess the physical condition and characteristics of the piece. We then perform a comprehensive market analysis using international, national, and regional databases to evaluate the markets in which the artwork is most actively traded and highly sought-after. This research forms the basis of a meticulously drafted report, which includes our findings, methodology, and valuation rationale in a clear and structured format. Finally, we present the completed appraisal and are available to discuss its contents and answer any questions.

Our reports are fully compliant with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and meet the requirements for use in both Canada and the United States.
