Antique appraisers are professionals who evaluate and determine the value of antiques and collectibles. They use their expertise in history, craftsmanship, and market trends to provide accurate assessments. This helps individuals and businesses understand the worth of their items for purposes like selling, insurance, or estate planning. These appraisers often specialize in specific categories, such as furniture, art, or jewelry. They may work independently or for auction houses, galleries, or appraisal firms. Their evaluations can be crucial for buyers and sellers in making informed decisions about valuable items.
