To value an antique or piece of art, start by checking for signatures, stamps, or maker’s marks to help identify its origin. Look at its condition, as well-kept items are usually worth more. You can also research similar pieces online to get a rough idea of value. Key factors like age, rarity, and demand matter too.

For an accurate price, it’s best to get a professional appraisal—and avoid cleaning or repairing the item beforehand, as it could lower its value.
