An antique appraisal doesn’t automatically raise an item’s value. It simply gives a professional estimate of its current market worth. Sometimes, an appraisal might reveal an item is less rare or valuable than expected due to changing market trends, condition issues, lack of documented history, or possible misidentification.
While it’s a useful tool for understanding what you own, it doesn’t guarantee a higher value.
