Antiques Appraisals at Chester Village West
You've been saving those treasures for a long time, maybe even waiting for the right time to sell them. But how much are they really worth?
Satisfy your curiosity when the Chester Historical Society presents its seventh Antiques Appraisal on Saturday, Nov. 5, at Chester Village West retirement community. Six appraisers will be on hand to give verbal appraisals of items.
Your mother's beloved china soup tureen… an oil portrait of grandmother… a cherry side table… letters written by great-, great-grandfather…the family Bible…silver spoons…gold bracelets and rings are just some examples of what can be appraised. Bring items in on Nov. 5, any time from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
The appraisers, all of whom have a great deal of experience in their fields, include a jeweler, a Sotheby's books and manuscript expert, and other internationally accredited appraisers.
Bring in antiques or photographs of the items if they're too large (if it's a table or dresser, bring in a drawer too).
Appraisals will cost $5 for each item. Persons may bring up to three separate items. All proceeds will benefit the Chester Historical Society. Chester Village West will serve coffee and refreshments during the morning.
Judging from past years when this event was offered, this will be very popular and very informative. A complete list of all the experts will appear on the historical society website www.chesterhistoricalsociety.org,
Chester Village West has ample parking and easy access (including an elevator) and is at 317 West Main Street (Rte. 148), just before the Chester/Killingworth town line.
