You may have a hidden treasure in your attic or garage and not even know it! Visit with expert appraisers as they determine the value of your prized possessions at St. Clement’s Island Museum.
Appraisers for various types of items will be available at the museum. Only items that can be hand-carried will be appraised. Space is limited and items will be viewed on a first come, first serve basis.
Appraisers will be available to offer oral appraisals to the public for the following categories: fine arts, dolls, jewelry, coins, and currency. The fine arts category includes ceramics, pottery, glassware, artwork/paintings, music boxes and small furniture pieces. Items in this category are limited to two items per person at a fee of $5 per item. Other category fees are $5 each. Cash, credit card, and check are accepted.
Friends of the St. Clement’s Island and Piney Point Museums members get two free appraisals and may enter the event venue starting at 9:30 am.
The Washington Conservation Guild, a nonprofit organization of conservation professionals, will offer free preservation guidance for the items you bring to the Appraiser Fair.
