Consultations

We offer free initial consultation regarding the aquisition and disposition of art, estate jewelry and antiques. Often we can assist with the entire estate. We bring the expertise garnered from 30 years of experience and thousands of previous estate situations to assist you. Beyond the initial consultation we work by commission or hourly fee, depending on the situation.

What's it Worth?

We offer free evaluations of up to 5 items by email. It is usually not necessary to include more than one or two images per item, but do include dimensions and maker, if known. You can forward images to jack@fairfieldauction.com.

Professional Written Appraisals

We also offer written appraisals for probate, insurance and division of property. We can value antiques, fine art, jewelry, vehicles and most other personal property. All written appraisals include digital and printed version and are performed to U.S.P.A.P. standards. Our fee is $200/hour with a $1000 minimum. If you are simply interested in selling items a formal appraisal is not likely neccessary. Feel free to call our offices for more information.

Consignments

We can manage the sale of collections or individual items through auction or brokerage to the biggest dealers, institutions and collectors in the world.
