Where can i get art appraised for free?
reputable auction house, such christie's, sotheby's, bonham's , butterfield's, or phillips de pury, example, put auction estimate on work of art free of charge. can bring work in, or send photo (no flash glare, lit natural light) appropriate department (is american painting, european painting?). photo, send letter giving relevant information - size, medium, how acquired work. however, there few caveats. first work may have little or no "sale value" - is, on secondary market of auction world, may fetch little, in case may not give value it. second, estimate place on not insurance purposes. insurance appraisal tends bit higher auction estimate, , not range, specific number. (auction house estimates given in ranges $3,000-$5,000, $25,000-30,000, etc.) if need official insurance appraisal, these places charge providing information.
best bet send inquiry few auction houses if can't 1 physically. if can, call them up, , should accommodate you.
luck!
