Honest Art Appraisal Services If you bring into
our office a high-class reproduction of a
painting by a famous artist thinking it may be an
original, there is a charge only if the item has
value. If we come into your home, and you ask us
to appraise an antique of nominal value, there is
no charge. In fact, 25 of the items we look at,
we never charge for. There is a charge if the
item has value though. If you want to sell an art
work hoping to get 10,000 for it, and we know
its worth many times that, we don't try to buy
it, but advise you where to sell it for the
higher price. Our Association by-laws strictly
forbid us buying anything from our clients,
regardless of price. This is the creed of the
independent appraiser. We specialize in honest
art appraisals. An art appraisal service you can
trust. Today, honesty and integrity are rare, but
not at the Chicago Appraisers Association. We're
not the best appraisers because were the
country's oldest...we're the country's oldest
appraisers because we are the best.

Antique Bequests Affected By New Laws CHICAGO
The Chicago Appraisers Association, the nation's
leading experts in the art and antique field, is
now working with attorneys on cases involving the
new 1977 art and antique inheritance
laws. According to the associations president, R.
Bruce Duncan, the new laws differ so much from
preceding laws that there is a major danger of
serious financial loss to the estate unless
expert counseling is available. Duncan said that
the stepped-up basis of evaluation used by the
Internal Revenue Service after December 31, 1976
has expanded the role of appraisers in estate
planning.
