Appraisals on Antique Tiles

Are you looking to have your antique tile or tile collection appraised?

If the answer is yes, please read on! There is a fee charged and a few guidelines to follow.

Appraisals

The fee for my services for identification and retail market valuation of tiles generally ranges from $35 - $85, based on the number of items and research time.

If you are interested in obtaining a quote for an appraisal, please feel free to contact me, either via email or regular mail. I will need you to supply the following information for each tile:

1. A clear photo of the front (a .jpg format less than 100K)
2. A clear photo of the back
3. Size/dimensions
4. A general condition description

After I receive your tile information, I will contact you and quote a fee. There are times when a particular tile does not warrant an appraisal; for example, a new mass produced tile. Rest assured that I will share that with you.

If you choose to go ahead with the appraisal, we will make arrangements from there. I may ask for additional information at that time. If you choose not to have an appraisal done, I will either return your photos or delete them (if sent via email).

All appraisals are done in printed form and will be mailed to you.

I am an antiques dealer, and collector, with more than 25 years experience in antique and collectible tiles. My business, collecting habits, and knowledge predominantly focus on American and English tiles from 1860 - 1960. I also have dealt with many fine tiles from France, Belgium, Spain, Germany, Mexico and Tunisia. Please note that I am not a licensed appraiser, nor do I evaluate Delft tiles.
