antique valuation

Antique valuation is the process of determining the worth of an old, collectible item based on factors like age, rarity, condition, provenance, and market demand. Experts examine the item's history, craftsmanship, and uniqueness to assess its significance and value. This helps owners understand its financial worth, whether for sale, insurance, or inheritance. Accurate valuation requires knowledge of market trends and comparables, ensuring the antique's price reflects current collector interest and rarity.
