OUR AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Professional Appraisals

Professional appraisals for estates, trusts, insurance, charitable contributions, equitable distribution and personal property. Each assignment is approached independently, with careful research, documentation and consideration of the intended use of the appraisal.

Provenance & Curatorial Research

Historical and provenance research designed to uncover the story behind an object or collection. Research may include maker identification, ownership history, historical context and supporting documentation - helping clients understand not simply what they own, but why it may be significant.

Collection & Estate Consultation

Thoughtful guidance for families navigating inherited furnishings, collections, downsizing or estate transitions. Sometimes the first question isn't "What is it worth?"  It is simply "Where do we begin." RH Chillingworth & Co.helps identify which objects may warrant further research, appraisal, documentation or market consideration.

Professional Collaboration

RH Chillingworth & Co. works collaboratively with attorneys, fiduciaries, interior designers, luxury real estate professionals and other trusted advisors whose clients require specialized personal property expertise. Services may be provided independently or coordinated with broader Luxury Estate Guidance when appropriate.
