Appraisals

Learn how we do appraisals at Anthony Scornavacco Antiques. Did you know there are very few people in the Twin Cities qualified enough to appraise fine antiques and arts? Before scheduling an appraisal for an item or collection we recommend you review the experience, credentials and references of the appraiser to ensure they are qualified. We assure you Anthony Scornavacco is one of the most experienced, is registered and can provide appropriate industry references and documentation.

Here are some things you may want to know if you want Anthony to appraise an item for you. Antique dealers do not all complete their appraisals the same so we wanted to provide you with a little insight about how your experience with Anthony will be.

  1. Appraisals can be performed in our showroom or in the privacy of your own home. Appraisal fees apply based on an hourly rate.

  2. Your appraisal process will be documented and certified by Anthony Scornavacco.

  3. Silver, 17th, 18th and early 19th century is Tony’s specialty when it comes to appraising items at Anthony Scornavacco Antiques.

  4. Anthony loves appraising and collecting antique silver and it has been a consistent passion of his since the beginning.

Now this may seem limited in details but the approach Anthony takes with each person he works with is exclusive and one on one. Each person and item will come with their own needs. Needs that  Anthony likes to learn through discussing details that specifically pertain to you over the phone. From there he can determine what is best suited for you.
