  • 1.  Appraiser Near Media, PA

    Posted 12-02-2020 10:40 AM
    Hi all,
    I hope this is appropriate for this forum- I am looking to connect an appraiser in the Media, PA area (about a half hour west of Philly) with a friend of mine who is trying to get some objects identified and appraised. Anybody like an estate appraiser you all could recommend or have worked with before to lend their expertise would be great- from what I have heard, it looks like some of the usual items like paintings, smaller furnishings, glassware that my friend needs help with.

    Thanks in advance, everybody!
    - Joe

    Freeman's in Philadelphia has been doing appraisals since 1805.  Sotheby's and Christies still have offices in the area.  We don't run into painting or furnishing appraisal requests very often.

    Have you gone to the Appraisers Association of America?  If you don't have an experienced-based reference from a colleague institution nearby, I'd go to them first.

    Hi Joe, 
    I suggest checking with the Appraisers Association of America.   Here is link to "find an appraiser" on the website: Appraisers Association of America | Member Search

    For best results in finding an appraiser, start with "Option 1: Quick Search" to search within 100 miles of your City or Zipcode. We recommend that if there isn't an appraiser with the specific specialization within 100 miles, you call another appraiser in your area for a loca l referral.
