Title: Need qualified appraiser in upstate NY area for stained glass !!
Post by: mart on January 10, 2015, 11:54:03 AM

A lady on the Kovel site is looking for an appraiser in the upstate NY area for stained glass from around 1900 !!  Her grandparents bought it at a customs auction in New York city !!  Very nice landscape and looks to be similar to some I have seen that Tiffany made !! Also has a three paneled art piece done in roundels with the initials MHB in gold on the corner roundel with a crown above it !! Anyone know of a good art gallery or appraiser that is trustworthy in that area ??

She could start with the AAA site, and see if there is a member in her area.

Yes but she was hoping to find either a gallery or appraiser that someone has used and can recommend as honest and trustworthy !!   I can see her point on that !!  Kind like when looking for a doctor,,you can look in the yellow pages but that doesn`t mean they are good !!

I would send detailed photos & any information to Skinner Auction House   http://www.skinnerinc.com/
Stained glass can be very valuable!

mart the landscape piece is beautiful and needs to be seen by someone from a large gallery or auction house  Thinking Like Christie's, would not trust it to just any appraiser, needs to be someone that specializes in glass or you could start at a local art museum.
