About Us

Managing treasured collections with our team of experts

Collector Services manages the cataloguing and valuation of high-value possessions, including fine arts, antiques, rare books and manuscripts, jewelry, textiles, antiquities, wine and virtually all other areas of serious collecting.

Our staff includes appraisers who are certified by the Appraisers Association of America, nationally recognized subject matter experts who regularly appear on the PBS television series “Antiques Roadshow,” former major auction house specialists, museum curators and university art history professors.  We also have an extensive network of nationally and internationally known professional experts and specialists to call upon whenever the need arises for specific knowledge, experience or authority in an individual field or expertise.

Our cataloguing and appraisal services are essential in assessing the accuracy of your insurance coverage, or your trust & estate plan. We provide inventories and appraisals for probate, charitable donation, equitable distribution, as well as the collateralization of fine art assets. We have more experience conducting damage appraisals than any one else in the country. We also provide expert art advisory services for the acquisition and sale of fine art, as well as counsel regarding the conservation and/or restoration of collections.

Our offices are located in Boston, Manhattan, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Detroit,
Louisville, Sanibel and Seattle.
