Antique Silver and Brass Restoration Services - THURSDAYS: 10-4

<p>The value of an artist’s work depends on several determining factors. These factors are crucial for an accurate evaluation. The art appraiser must exercise due diligence when conducting their research, as the value of an artwork by the same artist can vary significantly depending on the specific piece and current market conditions.</p>
<p>Beginning in 2026, Nepenthe Gallery now offers Fine Art Appraisals through our partnership with Jeff Trafidlo.&nbsp; Jeff will explain these various and varying factors by comparing several artworks to illustrate how value is determined.&nbsp; We are delighted to add Jeff to our team!</p>
