In addition to providing clients with a fine selection of high quality, authentic African Art, Charles Jones African Art and associate Maura Kropke, ISA AM, Accredited Member, International Society of Appraisers also provide appraisals and related services.
Charles Jones African Art maintains a complete reference library, numbering over 1000 volumes, on the arts of Sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally we have most of the major auction catalogues in our area, both European and American, dating back to the 1960’s. We also subscribe to Art Trak, a searchable database of auction records, which provides a very efficient means of finding comparables. Also our network of dealers, scholars and collectors allows us to establish authenticity of pieces, and sales in the private market over the past four decades.
Large collections and pieces of significant value generally require personal inspection. Rates for formal appraisals are by quote. Charles Jones African Art will gladly provide references on request.
