Value Opinions by E-mail or Mail

This service is for fine art and decorative art (paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, textiles, ceramics, etc.) that, due to distance, we are unable to easily personally examine. If you would like a professional opinion for artwork, please follow the instructions below:

In order to provide a researched, written professional opinion for your artwork, we need to receive the following items:

1. The completed information form below
2. Two (2) clear photographs of your artwork sent either as attachments uploaded to the form below or sent by U.S. Mail to:

Caroline Ashleigh Associates, LLC
1000 South Old Woodward, Suite 105
Birmingham, MI 48009-6734

Please note that you may also print this form and send it with your pictures via U.S. mail (please fill in all information before printing.) Please be advised that we are unable to return photos sent to us by mail. Once we receive all necessary information, we will contact you with a fee for a report. Fees reflect the type of research required to provide a professional opinion at our current hourly rate. Payment by check or credit card is necessary before any work is begun.

Our value opinion given from a photograph does not guarantee value, selling price, or authenticity of an item(s). Should your item(s) be eligible to place in private sale or bring to auction we will contact you.
