Impactful Valuation Interactions of Fine and Decorative Arts in the Marketplace
The traditional presentation, cataloguing and sales offerings of auction categories has experienced a series of permutations in the last few years as auction houses focus their efforts on capturing the attention of emerging collectors with interests as diverse as their cultures. The most significant shifts are within the broad field of decorative arts where individual categories and historic decorative arts are being re-contextualized to promote contemporary lifestyles of these connoisseurs and collectors.

Between a Rock and a Hard Price: Evaluating Historic Objects Without Direct Comparables
Everything has a price, but not everything is priceless. In the world of historic artifacts and memorabilia, it is not always easy to find comparable sales. An item linked to a historic person or event may have a value far beyond their intrinsic value. Using case studies and examples, we will go through different approaches and methods to valuing and appraising historic items, and how to find comps where there are no comps to be found!
