Appraisals
Todd Peenstra is a nationally known antiques and art appraiser out of Annapolis, MD. Todd will be on hand offering free appraisals, consultations, and advice on anything you might own. You can always bring an image of the piece in questions (for instance, if it is a piece of furniture too big for you to bring in person) It will be your own personal "scavenger hunt" through your personal possessions. Due to demand only 1 item per ticket holder please. You can arrange for Todd to evaluate more items at a later time if time permits.
