MPF does not appraise items because it is a conflict of interest for anyone involved in the conservation or repair of items to also be the appraiser. We can assist in authenticating an item, which is to say we may be able to tell our clients a great deal about their piece, but will not give the value. For example, imagine that you bring someone a chair to conserve, restore, or repair, and it is decided that it will cost $4000. You want to know if the chair is worth that to repair. If the one who repairs the piece can also answer that, an unscrupulous person could easily tell you that it is worth $25,000, and so worth the amount to repair. We cannot recommend appraisers as they should be specific to the items and to the area in which you live, but can give you some suggestions as to how to find a good appraiser.
