Appraisal and Valuation Services
Overview
Our Appraisal Department provides comprehensive inventories and appraisal reports which are recognized by financial institutions, insurance brokers, and conform to regulations by government agencies including Canada Revenue Agency and the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board.
Jones Auction House appraisals are conducted by professionals who are trained in appraisal theory, principles, procedures, and ethics. All appraisal reports comply with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) of The Appraisal Foundation and the Appraisal Report Writing Standard and Code of Ethics of the International Society of Appraisers.
We tailor each valuation to the collector and the collection, working with single items through to large corporate or institutional collections. We have extensive knowledge and expertise in the art market and a background in art historical scholarship, allowing us to offer the highest level of service and attention to detail.

Not all personal property appraisers have the same qualifications, and not every appraisal association has the same membership requirements. The International Society of Appraisers is one of the only appraisal associations that requires rigorous training in appraisal theory and ethics for membership.
