a seattle-based appraisal practice and antiquarian gallery
dedicated to the study, valuation, and preservation of historic objects.
antique appraisal services rooted in scholarship
Each appraisal begins with careful research into its maker, history, craftsmanship, and place within the broader story of its genre. That scholarship forms the foundation of a well-supported opinion of value.
Built upon years of academic study, professional training, and hands-on experience, every report is prepared with the rigor expected of a credentialed appraisal practice and the curiosity of someone who believes historic objects deserve to be deeply understood.

Whether examining a single artifact or a broader moment in decorative arts, these writings celebrate the belief that understanding an object is as rewarding as owning or beholding one.
