How we handle your Valuation
Date: 4th December 2010
Sorry I cannot offer valuations at this present time due to the amount of workload and demand for this service.
House of Francheska are pleased to announce Lorraine will offer valuations on your lovely Antique and Vintage Costume Jewellery. Lorraine decided to offer this service to her clients due to the amount of emails she receives each week asking her how much their precious antique or vintage costume jewellery is or they may enquire on history or more information.
Lorraine would like to point out this is a very specialized area, years of dedication to research and keeping up with the discovered designers of the past. This takes an enormous amount of time with constant reading, study and research on the past master designers, what materials they used, what the pieces mean, the settings, tailor made pieces, dating, discovering rare and collectable pieces, this is just scratching the surface there is so much involved.
Lorraine will give you an appraisal on good faith and based on her own personal expertise and research into your item. It is an extremely specialized area and due to recent demand has become one of her favorable services to offer her clients.
Please understand Lorraine cannot give you an appraisal or valuation if you wish her to buy your item for re-sale, she can however sell on your behalf by allowing Lorraine to do the full photography, description, pricing and shipping of your item. If this service interests you please
