Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do you provide research or written appraisals? If you require detailed information and/or an appraisal of your item, we can do so for a negotiated fee. The fee varies depending on the nature of the item and the type of research and/or appraisal desired.

2. Will you identify my item? We like to be helpful, so if we know immediately what something is, we'll probably let you know. But if research is involved, you can appreciate that we need to be compensated for our time. Please see #1.

3. I understand your policies on research fees and I'd like you to identify/research my piece. What now? Send to us an image and written description, following these guidelines:

Image quality and size

E-mail good quality, high resolution images of both sides. Edit the images to show true-to-life colours. If you don't know how to edit photos, ensure your pictures are taken in sufficient light. Send images as attachments. Images should be in .JPG or .GIF format no larger than 100 K. If they must be larger, please post it to your own website or one of the many free photo galleries on the web and let us know where we can view it. Do not send multiple images (3 or more) or large files – they clog our e-mail server and make us cranky.

Text

When you include text, write it into the e-mail message. If it must be an attachment, ensure it is .TXT or .DOC format. Due to the threat of viruses, we don't open .HTML, .EXE or .PDF attachments.

Other information

Include a thorough description of what you see including any inscriptions or engravings.If you are looking to sell the item, include an expected price. We rarely make offers.

4. Great images! Can I use them? Only with our permission. We claim copyright on our images because we put a lot of work into them. We are usually happy to give permission for you to use them in exchange for credit. Please ask.

5. Do you do custom mounting and framing? Yes, we do. For all the details, click here.
