We have in house experts specializing in the valuation and appraisal of the art of the Old Masters - Picasso, Dali, Miro, Chagall, Renoir, Corot, Renoir, Brancusi and Degas et al.

This unethical procedure, is employed by many professional appraisers and is a system that we believe to be entirely a direct conflict of interests

akin to being unethical.

It is a method of working which surely influences the value of any property to

be appraised by the appraiser, as the higher the appraisal value given,

the more money the appraiser makes!

Frankly, it's is not the way Freemanart work
