Navajo Bride & Groom painting? |
Navajo bride and groom are 2 seperate painting's that my grand mother got out west back in the 40's (so i was told), I think the name on the bottom is DeGrazio not to sure I tried to email the DeGrazio gallery and got no response from them. Can some one give me a good place to check into this. I am willing to sell. Under the picture's were other hand drawings that I do like. I can't tell you what kind of paint or thicker paper it is on , cause i don't know anything about art. Thank you. Here are two links to various DeGrazio painters, check to see if anything resembles your paintings; http://ca.search.yahoo.com/search?p=pain... http://ca.search.yahoo.com/search?p=pain...

Write to appraising associations and request their membership directories. Listed below are two of the largest appraising associations in the United States: AMERICAN SOCIETY OF APPRAISERS P.O. Box 17265 Washington, DC 20041 (800) 272-8258 APPRAISERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA 386 Park Ave South - 20th Floor New York, NY 10016 Phone: (212) 889-5404 Fax: (212) 889-5503 Web Site: www.appraisersassoc.org Email: aaa1@rcn.com ISA INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF APPRAISERS 1131 SW 7th St #105 Renton, WA 98055 Toll Free: (888) 472-4732 Fax: (206) 241-0436 Web Site: www.isa-appraisers.org Email: isa@isa-appraisers.org SPECIAL NOTE: The American Society of Appraisers estimates that only 25 percent of the 120,000 appraisers in the United States belongs to one of the major evaluation societies. Such societies establish codes of ethics by which their members are required to adhere. In addition to a code of ethics, the appraisers are tested for their expertise. OR: Refer to the Yellow Pages in the Telephone Book under "Appraisers" of "Antique Dealers." WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU LOCATE AN APPRAISER: Review their credentials Verify their membership to an appraising association Request references Determine appraisal fees Request a written contract which outlines the following items: The scope of work The delivery date of the appraisal The appraisal fee The objective nature of appraisal findings A statement that the appraiser cannot act as an advocate or negotiator in disputes over appraised goods. If you have the time, you could also go to your local library and select a few different books. There are several available and you'll be able to compare information and prices Hope this helps. Cheers! Source(s): Painter DeGrazio Look up the artist Alejandro Pena. He's located I think in New mexico and might be interested in your pieces. I am not sure but I like the website art.com you might have already looked into this site but they do service alot of artwork. you can search by title or artist, you can also chat with a customer service rep who will try to help as best he can. try ebay if it is worth much or if somone really wants it it will sell well |
