Private Collectors | Fine Art and Antique Appraisals in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and Southern California

 

Private collectors understand that art is more than possession—it is a statement of identity, taste, and legacy. Whether your collection includes Old Masters, contemporary paintings, rare antiques, or family heirlooms, accurate documentation and valuation are essential to preserve and protect what you’ve built. ARTXPRT – The Beverly Hills Appraisal Company provides trusted, certified appraisal services designed specifically for discerning private collectors throughout Southern California, including Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Santa Barbara, Orange County, Palm Springs, and San Diego.

​

Since 1975, ARTXPRT has been recognized as a premier authority in fine art and antique valuation. Our appraisers bring decades of experience, deep market knowledge, and meticulous attention to detail to every project, ensuring that private collectors receive the highest level of accuracy, professionalism, and confidentiality.

 

 

Understanding the Needs of Private Collectors

​

Private collectors acquire artwork and antiques for many reasons—passion, investment, heritage, or personal enjoyment. But every piece carries financial and emotional weight. An accurate appraisal transforms that passion into a protected asset. Collectors often require professional appraisals to determine current market value, establish insurance coverage, prepare for future estate planning, or make informed buying and selling decisions.

​

At ARTXPRT, we recognize that each collection is unique. Whether you are managing a multi-million-dollar gallery-level collection or curating art for a private residence, our certified appraisers deliver personalized service grounded in confidentiality, precision, and integrity.

 

 

What We Provide for Private Collectors

 

Our fine art and antique appraisals go beyond simple market estimates. Each valuation is supported by extensive research, provenance verification, and comparative market analysis using the latest data from galleries, auction houses, and private sales. Every report adheres to USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice), meeting the highest standards accepted by insurance companies, the IRS, and legal institutions.

​

Services include:

• Insurance appraisals that establish accurate replacement values for loss or damage coverage.

• Fair market value appraisals for resale, estate planning, or charitable donation.

• Collection management with detailed digital documentation and high-resolution photography.

• Investment consulting to guide future acquisitions or divestitures.

• Donation and gift appraisals that meet IRS requirements for tax reporting.

• Market analysis to track appreciation and identify opportunities for portfolio growth.
   

We offer both on-site and confidential remote consultations. Our appraisers can travel to your residence or private storage facility anywhere in Los Angeles County, Santa Barbara, Orange County, Palm Springs, or San Diego.

 

 

Why Private Collectors Need Professional Appraisal Services

 

A professional appraisal safeguards more than just an object, it protects your legacy. Collectors who invest in verified valuations benefit from clarity, security, and peace of mind.

​

Protection and insurance
Accurate appraisals ensure that your artwork and antiques are properly insured. In the event of loss, damage, or theft, insurance companies require up-to-date documentation to process claims efficiently.

​

Estate and legacy planning
Appraisals provide a transparent record of your collection’s worth, allowing families and estate executors to handle inheritances and donations without conflict or uncertainty.

​

Market insight and opportunity
Understanding the current market value of your art enables smarter decisions when acquiring or selling pieces. With ARTXPRT’s insight, you gain access to the latest trends and reliable guidance on timing and strategy.

​

Tax compliance and charitable giving
If you choose to donate artwork to a museum, foundation, or educational institution, IRS-compliant appraisals are legally required. ARTXPRT’s certified reports meet every federal standard.

​

Confidential expertise
Our firm maintains the utmost discretion. Every appraisal and consultation remains private, ensuring that your collection and identity are protected at all times.
