August 5, 2019 Michelle Miller

Array

Sunny days, backyard barbeques, campfires, and pool parties - these are some of the hallmarks of the Great American Summer. Let's cap off the sunlit season with some "homespun" fine art: American folk art paintings. Recognized for their picturesque landscape scenes, harbor views, darling portraitures, or glimpses into the lives of early colonists, folk art paintings hold a special place in ... Read More

Those porcelain dinnerware sets, trinkets boxes, and tea sets adorned with fluffy, pink, cabbage-style roses, tend to be categorized as examples of the "Limoges" porcelain.

Is It Really An Antique?

May 31, 2018 by Michelle Miller

Array

Maybe a piece of furniture has been passed down in your family throughout the years - a grandmother's charming writing desk, for example, or an heirloom cedar chest. Or maybe you're going to a flea marketing hoping to find that perfect exquisitely carve antique French parlor chair. These pieces definitely look, well, old (like they've seen better times), but the question becomes "is it really ... Read More

Is a Free Appraisal Really Free?

November 1, 2017 by Carrie Gough

Array

Where can I get a free art appraisal? Buyer beware - why free appraisals are not really free and why consumers should choose an unbiased source like What’s it Worth when valuing their art, antiques and collectibles.
