Valuation

Douwes Fine Art provides valuations for insurance, market value, probate and inheritance tax.

We handle individual works of art as well as large art collections.

As to our rates we follow the suggestions made by the Federatie TMV (Federation of Appraisers (US)/Valuers (UK), Brokers and Auctioneers in Movable Goods). At all times we stay below the maximum rates they propose. Our rates are as follows:

• We charge a 4 promille fee over the value of a work of art with a minimum fee of Euro 120.
• For each additional hour exceeding the first, we ask a fee of Euro 75.
• For general advice, verbal or written, we charge a fee of Euro 100 per hour or part of an hour.
• Fees include travel time and are exclusive of 19% VAT.
