Many of us come into possession of all sorts of things over the years. An aunt’s painting, an heirloom ring, or perhaps even just a really interesting thing you’ve had for as long as you can remember. If you’d like to sate your curiosity and learn the history of your precious items, our team at The Auction Barn can help you see your items in a new light. Even see some of the items we’ve identified on our blog, in our #GuessThatObject Challenge!

With in-house experts with knowledge fields ranging from conservation to geology, from retro to Victorian, our collective experience covers a wide range of topics and fields, giving us a unique edge in assessing and valuing your items.

We offer two options for assessment at The Auction Barn:

A free in-person appraisal of an item, consisting of a quick chat to one of our in-house experts; or, A paid valuation of an item, including a written condition report with current sales value. With a paid valuation, we’ll research and compare your item to other sales both nationally and internationally, and provide you an in-depth written condition report, noting its age, maker, and materials. The cost of a paid valuation is dependent on the number of items requiring valuation and is provided upon request.
