Antique Appraisal For Peace Of Mind
by Robin Mcgraff
Antiques are widely collected and as such, are very valuable. Everything from glassware to paintings and even furniture, antiquities are the hobby of choice for many collectors. If you collect antiques of any kind, you will want them to be protected just as you would any other item in your household. This is one of the reasons why you may need an antique appraisal.
In terms of protecting your collection against theft, fire or other catastrophe, you might need your antique appraisal to get insurance for your valued antique items. Since collections are not usually protected under a general home insurance policy, many people are unaware that they may have to invest in a separate rider policy if they are to safeguard their investment.
A rider policy is just a distinct policy which can be added to your home insurance. It insures the items covered any time a disaster takes place. When guaranteeing anything including antiques, the insurance provider needs to know the value of the items being secured. To that end, it is usually required to get a professional antique appraisal of every item that you include in the rider policy. This antique appraisal is usually shown to the insurance agent, who will produce a copy and return the original appraisal to you.
An antique appraisal, much like any other, will contain an image of the item(s) being valued, a description and a value for either each separate piece or the entire group as a whole. When seeking an antique appraisal, it is best to select a professional who has a lot of experience in the field of antiquities. Not just any experience, however, but experience in the field directly related to your items. For instance, you would not want a furniture expert to give you an antique appraisal on your glassware. Instead, you would rely more on an expert in that field.
An antique appraisal can become pricey, which is the reason it's crucial for you to shop around and compare costs from several different professionals. You must shoot a video of your entire collection as well as take your own pictures and take note of descriptions of every item ahead of handing your items over to an appraiser. If the inconceivable should ever happen and your collection becomes lost, damaged or stolen, you will be thankful that you had an antique appraisal and executed the items to your homeowner's insurance policy as a distinct rider policy.
