Robert,

Usually questions of this type are different than the general questions we receive on whether an item has value. The reason is that if you are looking for a value on an item of consignment, it has already been determined to be a value more than $2500 or so. And that has to be determined by a Worthologist before being sent to auction.

The auction values would be necessarily be reported in the blog section once it has been completed.

If you have a particular item with a relatively high auction value, then go to WorthPoint.com directly to ask about the services of our highly experienced Worthologists that best understands your item. We’ll take it from there.

All the best.

I see many questions, but no answers to them. How does one find out what an item’s value may be and submit that item for consignment?

I have a Louis XV or XVI chair with printed pictures on the chair seat and on inside back. I have seen an imitation chair in a magazine. This one I bought from an elderly couple at a neighborhood garage sale. A beautiful chair and I would love to find out it’s value.

Hi; I purchased a beautiful buffett this fall at an auction. Bought it only because I liked it. Had no idea until taking it home that it had been made by the Red Wing Furniture Co. in Red Wing MN. I live in WI just across the border. I have tried to find info on the internet but have not been successful. I was told by a collector that I should go to the Historical Society of Goodhue County. I did last week and to my surprise they had some catalogs from the late 1800′s and early 1900′s. Found a picture very similar to mine but no other info. I went to a suggested antique dealer and he was very surprised that I would have a piece like this. In his opinion it is “museum worthy”. Does anybody else know anything of this co.

I HAVE SIGNED UP FOR THE 7 DAY TRIAL WHICH I COULD NEVER GET TO WORK. BECAUSE, I HAve SOME URGENT QUESTIONS ABOUT ITEMS THAT WILL GO TO AN ESTATE AUCTION SOON WITHOUT AN APPRAISAL. THE 7 DAYS ARE ALREADY UP AND NOW I am a paying customer without so much as an idea about how to get an online opinion about various things including an ancient bible translated from the original tounges with the number of printed copies on the inside cover sheet instead of any copyright. Would this mean that they are the only copies, or a first printing? I also have a 1927 first copy of the story “Wings” with photos from the film staring Clara Bow. I have a copy of a book on Human sexuality printed by the Eugenics Society of New York, A 1914 first edition of a book called The United States in Prophecy which could have been written yesterday, so relevant are it’s descriptions of Government corruption, Banker fraud and dark predictions that the end is near and the U.S. is the apocalyptic Babylon in scripture. Could you please respond Thankyou

I have a large quantity of sterling silver and sterling silver flatware (Stekff Corsage pattern), including a solid silver wedding basket circa 1800. I also have a Steinway grand piano, built in New York on March 8, 1918, mahogoany, that I would like to sell. I have many musseum quality pieces in my home in addition to another house with some primitive pieces, along with the loft of a barn half full of furniture. Can you advise me on what I should do if I want to dispose of these items?

Thank you,
