Because All Art Appraisers Are Not Created Equal
The Art Appraisal Firm was founded in 1999, dedicated to complete transparency, with the singular goal of meeting client objectives, without bias or interest. The substantial risks associated with collecting are best managed by qualified experts with deep market insight grounded in decades of experience . . . but only if that expert is working for you alone.
Exclusively committed to protecting your interest, our firm does not profit when art changes hands.

Professional StandingArt Appraisal Firm founder, Cindy Charleston-Rosenberg brings more than twenty-five years of art market experience to the management of important collections of American art. She is a certified member and immediate past President of the International Society of Appraisers (ISA), the largest of the professional personal property appraisal organizations.

Mrs. Rosenberg has authored chapters on Connoisseurship and Authentication for ISA's Course Manual, A Guide to Appraising Fine Art, and has been published on complex appraisal methodology issues including the process and standards for confirming authenticity, and the selection of comparative sales data for appraisal reports in the Journal of Advanced Appraisal Studies, published by the Foundation for Appraisal Education. She writes and lectures widely on due diligence standards and complex art valuation topics, and is an experienced and qualified expert witness. |
Meaningful QualificationsThe Appraisal Foundation has developed rigorous qualification requirements for personal property appraisers. Qualified members of TAF Sponsoring organizations are required to adhere to these standards.
Accredited membership in one of the qualifying organizations (ISA, AAA and ASA) is an indication of a commitment to an agreed standard of professionalism and oversight, which an informed consumer should demand and confirm. Cindy Charleston-Rosenberg's CV If an appraiser is properly credentialed, they will appear on the "Find an Appraiser" function on their professional organization's website.
