Written valuation for antique furniture - online and at a fixed price
A written valuation with dating, condition report and realistic market prices. EUR 19.90 per piece, PDF within 24 hours - entirely online, no travel needed.
You want to know what an antique piece of furniture is really worth - before selling, after an inheritance, for your household insurance records or simply because you are curious. For that you do not need an expensive expert report. You need an honest, written valuation from someone who buys and sells antique furniture every day. That is exactly what our short appraisal delivers.
Sworn expert, auction house or dealer - who do you need?
A publicly appointed and sworn expert is the right choice when a court, an authority or the tax office requires a report. Such reports take time and usually cost several hundred euros. An auction house will quote an estimate aimed at consignment. A specialist dealer looks at it differently: we tell you what the piece actually fetches on the market today - both the dealer price and the realistic private-sale price.
We say this openly: we are antique dealers, not sworn experts. For most occasions that is precisely the advantage - we know the prices that are actually paid, because we pay and achieve them ourselves.

Frequently asked questions
What does a valuation for antique furniture cost?
Our written appraisal costs EUR 19.90 per piece, VAT included. Reports by publicly appointed and sworn experts usually cost several hundred euros. For selling, inheritance matters or your own records, the short appraisal is sufficient in most cases.
Is your valuation officially recognised?
Our appraisal is a dealer valuation on company letterhead, not a report by a sworn expert. For court proceedings or official purposes please contact a publicly appointed expert, for example via the German Chamber of Commerce (IHK). For private purposes our assessment is well accepted in our experience.
How fast do I receive the valuation?
Usually within 24 hours as a PDF by e-mail, on working days often faster. You simply upload photos and describe the piece briefly.
Do you only value furniture?
Yes. We value antique furniture only - from Baroque to Art Deco, especially Biedermeier in cherry and walnut. We do not appraise paintings, porcelain, jewellery or other small antiques; for those, specialised dealers or auction houses are the right address.
