Specialties
Victoria Shaw is a certified art appraiser with an extensive network of specialists in all areas of personal property (not real estate). Our areas of expertise include fine art, paintings, sculpture, furniture, decorative arts and collectibles. Our appraisal reports are USPAP compliant and fully illustrated, with comparables and a market analysis for items of substantial value. We provide appraisal reports for insurance, estate tax purposes, charitable gift and equitable distribution, ranging from a single object to an entire collection. Our art advisory services include working with collectors who are wishing to deaccession works or build a collection. We also work with novice collectors by conducting gallery tours and visits to private and pubic art collections. Due to the current health crisis of Covid-19, we are offering complimentary initial consultations using Facetime, Zoom Video and email.
