We can provide expert valuations for a wide range of fine arts, antiques and historic transport items, for finance, insurance, family division and donation under the Australian Commonwealth Government's Cultural Gifts Program.
In addition to our formal valuation service, online valuations are available for various purposes at a modest fee.
Our valuer, Antony Davies, is among the most qualified antiques and fine arts valuers in Australia with over 30 years international experience. Antony is approved to value for the Australian Commonwealth Government's Cultural Gifts Program in the categories of: Historic Vehicles, Australian Colonial Furniture, English & Continental Furniture, Decorative & Applied Art, Film & props, Horse Drawn Vehicles, and Silver. Valuations for other purposes are available in all categories of the fine arts and collecting.
Antony Davies is also the Official Valuer for the National Motor Museum of Australia, a position held for over 20 years.
Fees for valuations vary, but as a guide a formal written valuation will usually attract a fee of 1.5% of the value of the item or collection. No other charges are made for valuations completed by post or email. In certain circumstances where a personal visit is required travel expenses may be charged, at cost, in addition to the valuation fee. Our fees are capped for items over AUS$500,000.
We recommend that valuations are reviewed at least every five years. Revisions of valuations completed by us are available at a discounted rate.
