EVALUATION AND ESTIMATES
CC make evaluations and estimates of a wide range of asian artifacts, specifically Chinese giving a correct evaluation of your collection. Estimates can be done for many purposes: purely commercial, for insurance, or for probate and family divisions. In order to adequately evaluate your art objects and to give them a fair market value, various criteria of the work itself must be carefully examined: such as the material, the dimensions, the state of conservation, the style, and the dating. The value of the estimate can vary, depending on the chosen sales channel. In fact, the work will have a different value if offered to an auction house, rather than to a private individual or to a dealer. In order to obtain a better result it is important to receive clear and sharp photos together with any useful information for the enhancement of your objects, without neglecting information on the origin, or any publications.
