Appraisals provide financial and historical assessments of Quality Inuit Fine Art.
These documents are necessary for insurance coverage, non-cash charitable donations, resale/sale purposes, estate planning, insurance loss/damage claims and CRA / IRS estate tax.
We have offered Appraisals to our clients since 2008.
Inuit Sculptures is relied upon for our expertise and ethical standards in this appraisal process.
Our mandate is to provide our clients with high quality, well supported, thoroughly documented appraisal reports in a timely manner.
Please note, we provide appraisals for the value portion only of the piece. We do not appraise the authenticity of the artwork or assess its condition. All information about the artwork is completely reliant upon the client's Provenance.
The fair price you receive for your carving will reflect the accuracy and appropriateness of our Appraisal.

Appraisals take approximately 2 to 3 weeks to complete of which a card stock certificate will be mailed to your address.
