Professional antique appraisal and collectible valuation services, prepared with honesty, accuracy, and thoughtful stewardship.
Antique and Collectible Valuation & Stewardship Services
Choose the level of valuation that best meets your needs, from professional identification to full stewardship documentation
New Creations Woodcraft
At New Creations Woodcraft, our valuation services are built on a simple belief: well-made objects deserve careful understanding, honest documentation, and thoughtful stewardship. Each valuation is prepared with respect for craftsmanship, historical integrity, and the personal significance a piece may hold for its owner.
Rather than offering a simple or generic appraisal, we produce professionally formatted valuation packets that document construction, condition, historical context, and care considerations using period-appropriate standards. These packets are designed to inform, preserve, and guide decision-making, whether the goal is long-term ownership, resale planning, insurance documentation, or the preservation of family history.
All valuations are completed with accuracy, restraint, and transparency. Every packet includes a complimentary Bible-based reflection inspired by the piece, offered as part of our stewardship-centered approach and never as an added charge.
Valuation Package Options
Clients may choose between two levels of valuation, depending on the depth of documentation and market insight desired.
Tier One: Essential Evaluation
Tier One provides a professional foundation for understanding a piece, including identification, condition assessment, and historical context. A concise Value Overview is included to help owners understand how condition influences typical market value at a high level, without extensive scenario analysis.
This option is well suited for:
- Personal knowledge and documentation
- Initial resale or insurance conversations
- Owners seeking clarity without extensive market modeling
Tier Two: Professional Stewardship Packet
Tier Two expands upon the Essential Valuation with deeper documentation and analysis. In addition to all Tier One components, this package includes a robust Value Overview, offering condition-based value comparisons, sales-channel considerations, and insurance replacement context. This expanded analysis is designed to support informed decision-making and long-term stewardship.
This option is ideal for:
- Heirloom or estate documentation
- Insurance and replacement planning
- Owners considering conservation or resale pathways
- Those seeking a comprehensive, archival-quality record
A Thoughtful and Meaningful Gift
An Antique and Collectibles Valuation & Stewardship Packet also serves as a distinctive and meaningful gift. Rather than offering a decorative object, it provides understanding, preservation guidance, and story. These valuations are well suited for milestones such as weddings, new homes, anniversaries, and the passing down of cherished family pieces.
Gift certificates are available and may be applied toward either valuation tier.
Our Approach
Every valuation reflects our commitment to craftsmanship, stewardship, and care. We do not promote unnecessary restoration, nor do we approach valuations as sales tools. Our goal is to honor what was well made, preserve what remains, and serve those entrusted with its care.
