Appraisals
Madera Antiques & Estate Sales offers professional appraisals of your valuables in the convenience of your own home. All photography of the items is managed on site; nothing is removed from your home. All research is conducted at our offices and then a written report is provided for the Fair Market Values of all jewelry, paintings, sculptures, weaving, rugs, high end furniture, lighting, books, outdoor art and much more.
The printed report can be customized to your needs and may include any or all of the following categories for each item. Most people simply request a photo and value for the item, however, you may choose any of the categories below that are appropriate for your needs.
