prices4antiques.com is the web's first choice for learning about and valuing antiques, collectibles and fine art.  The p4a.com reference database provides this information on tens of thousands of items, updated daily. We do not sell or buy any merchandise. All items seen on our site have been sold unless they appear in the forthcoming auctions module. We are a completely independent reporting service for appraisers, auctioneers, museums, libraries, dealers, collectors and the general public.

About ninety percent of all p4A.com database records come from "live" sales, some of which permit "live" internet bidding. p4A.com believes that these live sales present fewer opportunities for manipulation, and thus make a better market environment for serious buyers and sellers. About ten percent of our records come from long-time established mail and telephone bid auctions who have developed a substantial clientele of collectors and/or dealers participating in their sales.

The p4A.com reference database is distinguished by a number of unique characteristics not found at any other place on the world wide web:

• every record in the database has at least one picture. you can really tell if this is similar to the item you are researching.
• every record in the database is compiled by a human editor, not digitally accumulated en masse.
• editors allow us to have a highly personalized and custom approach to record development, including such features as listing repeat sales of a specific item on the same record and expanded literature citations.
• each record is presented in a standardized format with description, provenance, condition, dimensions, pre-sale estimates, price realized, date of sale and auction house information as provided in the original sale catalogue.
• approximately twenty percent of the records in the database have an individually researched reference note providing further information about the item, information not found in the original catalogue entry. Other records have market notes identifying the auction record price paid for that type of material.
• about fifty percent of the records in the database have an individually written "auction note" providing specific information about the auction environment in which that particular item was sold.

This information is routinely used to estimate the value of similar items for sale, for purchase or for insurance purposes, to substantiate a formal appraisal, to assist in a family division of property or to learn what was paid for a specific item listed in the database. With so many p4A.com classifications attaining a great depth of information, the reference database is increasingly being used as a learning tool to replace the stacks of books otherwise required to even approximate this amount of information. And it is completely searchable with only a few key strokes.

The p4A.com reference database is used by almost every professional personal property appraiser in the U.S. It is a favored resource at many auction houses, including leaders like Christie's in New York. Many museums and public libraries subscribe to the database, as do official agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service.
