Artwork Appraisals
We get asked quite frequently to appraise artwork, or give a value of a piece that was discovered in an attic, a collection inherited from a loved one, or a rare find from an estate sale. Unfortunately we only have experience in determining the value of artwork by living artists that we currently represent, or have worked with in the past. If you would like to determine the value of a piece of artwork, here are some resources to check out.

The Local Pawn Shop/Antique Store/Auction House
Pawn Shops and Antique stores often have artwork for sale and might know more about particular artists from the area. Or they might just have a running average for what artwork sells for in their shop. This is also your best bet if you’d like to get rid of the piece quickly (but don’t expect to get much for the piece of artwork). Here are some area shops that might be able to help you out:
Cillo’s Antiques – (570) 327-9272
Newberry Exchange – (570) 329-2808
Callahan’s Antiquities – (570) 368-2597
Keystone Auctioneers – (570) 329-1005
Roan Auctions – (570) 494-0170
Nolan Auctions – (570) 326-7036
Contact Other Galleries
Reach out to a Gallery that is presently working with, or has worked in the past with this artist. They should be able to give you an idea of their current prices.
