Trusted Antique Appraisers Near You – Free Evaluations

Typing "antique appraisers near me", "coin appraisal near me" or "vintage jewelry appraisal" into a search bar usually means one thing: you want a straight answer about something you own.


Our Islip-based team gives New Yorkers free evaluations of furniture, coins, jewelry, art and more, backed by more than 30 years in the business.


We explain what we see, what similar items are bringing today, and what we would do in your position.


New York homes hold an unusual mix of things. A Queens row house may have a cedar closet full of fur coats and costume jewelry.


A Manhattan co-op may hold paintings bought from galleries decades ago.


A Long Island colonial may have a basement of toy trains and a dining room of mahogany. Each needs a different eye, and we bring the same patience to all of them.



To book a free appraisal, phone (631) 433-0820.

Our Antique Appraisal Process, Step by Step

Understanding the value of your antiques is simple with our step-by-step process:

  • 1. Contact Us for a Consultation

    Pick a time at our Islip office or ask us to come to your home. Starting remotely? Email or text photos and a short description, and we will give you an early read. 


    On that first call, tell us what you have, where it is, and any timing you are working with. 


    For apartments, let us know about building rules, such as elevator reservations, a certificate of insurance or doorman sign-in, so the visit goes smoothly. 


    For a few small items, such as a ring or a handful of coins, an office appointment in Islip may be the quickest route.

  • 2. Professional Evaluation

    During the visit we check:

    • Age, wear and any documented history
    • Materials, workmanship and distinguishing details
    • Recent sale results for comparable pieces

  • 3. Receive Your Results

    You get a value range along with the reasoning behind it. We also tell you whether we would sell now, insure, or hold, and why.

Bring one item or a whole household. Here is what we see most often from New York families:


  • Coins and currency: silver dollars, proof and mint sets, old bills and foreign coins. Do not clean them; cleaning can sharply reduce a coin's value.

  • Vintage jewelry: gold chains, cocktail rings, brooches, signed costume pieces and older diamond rings.

  • Watches: mechanical wristwatches and pocket watches, including ones that no longer run.

  • Sterling silver: flatware sets, tea services and trays, frequently mistaken for silver plate.

  • Art: paintings, prints and sculpture, including pieces with gallery labels on the back.

  • Furniture and decor: mid-century pieces, carved mirrors, lamps and clocks.

Getting ready for your appointment


Bring paperwork if you have it: receipts, old appraisals, certificates, boxes and pouches all help.


Leave items as they are, with no polishing or repairs, and keep sets together. For apartments, reserve the elevator and let the front desk know we are coming.

What an Antique Appraisal Gives You

  • Clarity: a realistic number for selling, insuring or planning an estate.
  • Protection: less chance of letting something go for far below its worth.
  • Context: a sense of which categories are in demand right now and which are soft.
  • Confidence: a local team that shows its work.


Antique Appraisals for Estates and Executors


When a loved one passes, the estate often needs a clear picture of what the household contents are worth before anything is divided or sold.


We can walk through the home, identify the pieces that carry real value, and separate them from everyday contents. That helps executors treat heirs fairly and plan the next step, whether that is distributing items, selling to us, or holding an estate sale.

Quick Questions About Antique Appraisals


Is it really free? The evaluation is free, and there is no obligation to sell.


Can you tell value from a photo? Often we can give a first opinion, but some items, especially jewelry, coins and art, need to be seen in person for a firm number.


What if I only have one item? One item is enough. Many of our best conversations start with a single ring or painting.
