With over 75 years of multi-generational experience, Headley’s Auctions provides professional appraisal services for individuals, families, and legal professionals. We offer expert identification and valuation of antiques, fine art, and entire estate contents.

Why You Might Need an Appraisal

A professional appraisal is a formal document often required for legal or financial reasons. We provide:

• Insurance Appraisals (Replacement Value): To ensure your valuables are properly covered by your insurance provider in case of loss or damage.
• Estate Tax & Planning: For the equitable distribution of property among heirs or for federal estate tax purposes.
• Charitable Donations: To determine the fair market value of items being donated for tax deduction purposes.

Our Process

Our appraisal reports are detailed and include descriptions of age, origin, and condition, meeting the standards required by most insurance carriers and legal entities.

• Expertise: We specialize in 18th, 19th, and 20th-century furniture, silver, ceramics, and Americana.
• Confidentiality: Every appraisal is handled with the utmost privacy and professional integrity.

Fees & Consultations

Appraisal fees are generally based on an hourly rate for on-site inspection, research, and report preparation.

• Please note: We do not provide appraisals for real estate or precious gemstones.
