Fine Antiques, Estate, Art and Insurance Valuers

Highly recommend, quick response, great people to deal with and very helpful

I contacted Paul Jones at Fine Antiques to inquire about getting a quote and price for some old pieces belonging to my family. Paul was super fast at returning my email. He provided helpful information and links to assist me and went out of his way to ensure I had the answers I needed. I would have no hesitation in recommending Fine Antiques, Estate and Insurance Valuers as a quality company providing efficient, friendly service.

Having used Google search for valuations of various items previously and having found myself losing whole hours/days/$$ that I can never reclaim, finding this business, in NZ, for a painting that I had come across in our storage unit, I fully expected that I was going to get A) No response if it was not worth the business's time or B) Get a request to pay up first, before they tell me it's not worth anything.I was genuinely surprised and delighted when I received A) a very short and succint response, B) the extremely professional reply to the effect of who the artist possibly was and C) that it would probably not be of sufficient value to warrant further research which would involve costs associated.If you have something that you think may or may not be of value, but you really want to get checked, I highly recommend that you send pictures, as detailed in their query section, and they will do the rest for you, saving you time, energy and potentially expenses that you do not need to incur in the busy-ness of life that I'm sure you all have as well!!Thank you again Paul Jones - thoroughly appreciate your professionalism and not being given the run around when dealing with you. May you all have a safe and joyous Festive Season :)

Very professional friendly service with great communication. My art piece was very unique and I feel an excellent job was done in obtaining a fair valuation that I am very pleased with. I highly recommend Fine Antiques for fine art valuations.

Professional - what else would you expect from such friendly, knowledgeable and so easy to deal with.

Used this great service for verifying age and value of my cabinet. Very good communication. Highly recommend.

Paul was so helpful and super honest which is exactly what we needed. Highly recommend this service. A+++

Paul, responded to my query within 24hrs, advising me of some possible options moving forward. I really appreciated the way that he respected my connection to my piece of furniture but at the same time, was open and honest about value add of having it formally valued. Paul gave me a quick and honest ( albeit un-researched) review and value benchmark, which helped me to decide not to go further with a formal valuation. I appreciated his professionalism and honesty.

I emailed Paul a couple of queries, he was very obliging, most helpful and responded quickly. In no way did he make me feel as though I was wasting his time. I have no hesitation in recommending this business.

Bridget and Paul valued our chattels to help us through our separation proceedings in order to reach settlement and were fantastic. Their service was very professional and yet they were kind, sensitive to the situation and some of the loveliest people you could ever hope to meet! I am so glad they conducted our valuation, the whole procedure was so much more pleasant than I ever imagined it would be. Big thank you to Paul and Bridget!
