When In Need Of Antiques Appraisals Tucson Specialists Should Be Consulted September 30 Darius Leonard Camo Jersey , 2013 | Author: Dawn Williams | Posted in Home and Family A large number of people treasure a few possessions that they believe to be very old and valuable. They may have bought it at an auction or jumble sale or the objects may have been handed down with a history of having been in possession of the family for a long time. However, very few people are qualified in truly establishing the value of such pieces. For the services of specialist antiques appraisals Tucson professionals should be consulted.
The very word antique is derived from the Latin word antiquus that means ancient, or very old. Some people confuse the term with the term vintage. The two is not the same thing. For an object to qualify for the description antique it needs to be at least a hundred years old. Vintage refers to a specific period, not necessarily long ago. One would refer to vintage eighties furniture Quenton Nelson Camo Jersey , for example.
To be called an antique an object must not just be old but it must also be desirable. People collect an astonishing variety of objects ranging from snuff boxes to dolls, art, jewelry and sometimes very strange items such as instruments of torture. The desirability of an object is determined by its rarity, its beauty or its origin. Many collectors specialize in a very narrow field of interest.
It is often extremely difficult to determine the monetary value of an object. That is because there are so many factors that influence the value. Some truly commonplace objects may be extremely valuable simply because they belonged to a specific person or family. Others derive their value from the materials use to create it. The list is endless. In all circumstances it is better to get an expert opinion form a professional.
Anybody that collects valuable or that is in possession of items that is believed to be valuable should have those items formally valued by a professional. There are good reasons to do so. In some cases people are in possession of objects that may be extremely valuable and that should be insured or afforded special protection. Most insurance companies will not insure an asset unless it has been appraised by an expert.
It is sometimes rather difficult to find an appraiser that has specialist knowledge in the field where a valuation is required. Most experts specialize in one or two very well defined fields and will not venture an opinion outside their experience and knowledge. It may be useful to contact an antique association and to ask for references to appropriately experienced appraisers.
It is an unfortunate fact that there are some unscrupulous people operating in this field. They know that most laymen will accept their verdicts and in this way they sometimes misinform owners about the true value of an object. This may open the door for them to obtain it at an unfair price. One way to avoid such a catastrophe is to ask for a written valuation and to obtain a second opinion form an unrelated expert.
For true professional antiques appraisals Tucson experts could be approached with confidence. It is important to find out what the value of a prized object is. This is true even if the object has very little value. It is certainly vital to get expert advice before offering a potentially valuable item for sale.
