Webinar Description
Tuesday, February 11, 2025
2:00pm - 3:00pm Eastern US
This webinar will introduce appraisers to the field of Americana and its primary collecting periods between 1650 and 1850. Our expert presenter will discuss the collecting and appraising principles of "Good, Better, Best," founded by the legendary dealer, Albert Sack. He will also discuss how those monikers affect value and the current state of the market, as well as how the factors of form, materials, condition, proportion and surface can have wide sweeping effects on overall value and desirability of pieces.
This webinar will be recorded.
