Appraisals and Deaccessioning for Museums

Weschler’s is proud to partner with prominent museums and institutions, offering tailored appraisal and deaccessioning services to meet their unique needs.

Appraisals

At Weschler’s, we understand that museums and institutions require precise and professional appraisals, whether for insurance purposes, charitable contributions, loans, or other informational needs. Our experienced team of appraisers provides both verbal valuations and formal written appraisals in full compliance with the ethical standards of the American Society of Appraisers (ASA), the International Society of Appraisers (ISA), and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). With our trusted expertise, your institution can feel confident that each valuation is accurate and thorough and adheres to all necessary guidelines.

Deaccessioning

When museums or institutions need to deaccession property—whether it’s a single piece or an entire collection—Weschler’s is here to help navigate the process and maximize results. We work closely with institutions to determine the best approach for selling deaccessioned items. Our comprehensive marketing strategy ensures that each piece reaches a broad audience of collectors and buyers, providing national and international exposure. This includes featuring items in fully illustrated catalogs, publishing them on our website, and sharing them with our online bidding partners like Invaluable and AuctionZip. Additionally, we advertise in trade publications, local media, and across digital platforms to ensure the best possible results.

Charity Events for Nonprofits

Weschler’s is deeply committed to supporting nonprofits and foundations in the D.C. Metro area and beyond through our auction and appraisal services.

Community Support

As part of our dedication to giving back, Weschler’s partners with nonprofit organizations to provide appraisal services for charity events. Whether it’s donating our services to a fundraising auction or assisting with a valuation day event, our experienced team helps nonprofit organizations raise crucial funds while creating an engaging and enjoyable experience for attendees. We donate our appraisal services to a variety of local charity auctions each year, in addition to providing appraisers for off-site valuation day events. Our expertise and passion help these causes achieve their goals.

By partnering with Weschler’s for your next nonprofit event, you can be assured of seamless service, maximum fundraising potential, and a professional touch that makes a lasting impact on your community.
