We have two antique, porcelain lamps that we would like to know the value of, and are hoping you may have an answer for us. Thank you for any assistance you may give us!
AnswerHello Linda and thank you for your inquiry. I do not do appraisals but can direct you to one of the online appraisal sites - What's It Worth To You. I have never used them but I have heard good reviews. They have a minimal charge and work from good photographs. You would also need to provide them with other information, construction of lamp i.e. porcelain, glass, metal ? any markings on the bottom or hand painting, signed ? condition? provenance ? All of these things go into putting a value on an item. Values will also differ whether you are valuing for resale or insurance . Below is a link to the appraisal website. Just copy and paste it into your browser address field and hit enter:
