antique appraiser

Old-things value expert

An antique appraiser is someone who evaluates old objects to determine their age, authenticity, and monetary value.

Appraisers examine furniture, art, jewelry, and collectibles for insurance purposes, estate settlements, or sales: We hired an antique appraiser before the auction.

The role requires expertise in historical periods, craftsmanship, and market trends.
