We recently moved/downsized to a condominium in Chicago and contacted MIR Apraisal Services to appraise several pieces of antique furniture and rugs, silver, a painting, and other items. MIR, in the person of Farhad (the owner) and Robert, responded promptly and courteously to our request. They were thorough and knowledgeable and provided invaluable and reassuring assistance to us throughout the difficult and stressful process of deciding what to take with us to our new home and how to dispose of those items that we were unable to accommodate.On the initial visit to look over what we had, Farhad identified a small rug and an oil painting that he felt deserved further examination. We accepted his recommendation that they be restored and cleaned and then appraised. Both turned out to be of some value and now have a prominent location in our new home. Without Farhad's intervention, we would probably have donated them to a local charity and been none the wiser for the treasures we had.We were extremely pleased and satisfied with MIR and recommend them without reservation.

We had an excellent experience dealing with MIR Appraisal Services. Before a move we engaged the firm to appraise some furniture for insurance purposes. During the process Mr. Radfar suggested exploring restorative possibilities regarding an antique portrait in the family to correct poorly executed past preservation strategies. The solution proved to be reasonably priced and dramatically effective in reviving the painting’s energy and presence, and significantly increased our appreciation for this piece of art.Mr. Radfar and staff were courteous, competent, and reliable as well as highly professional. We recommend without any reservation whatsoever MIR to anyone requiring appraisal and/or restoration services.

I needed a piece of artwork appraised and found MIR Appraisals online. Everyone there was as helpful and professional as their website. They gave me information on my piece as well as recomendations for cleaning and reframing, which I took. It turned out phenominal! Thanks to all at MIR, enjoyed working with you!!

I had three paintings on consignment with MIR and very dissappointed in how they managed the consignment process. On one painting they did costly restoration work relative to the prices received. Additionally, after reading what they had in the artists bio I informed them that they failed to capture important facts about the artist - and the picture sold shortly after they made my recommended changes. The other two paintings on consignment with MIR sold for a fraction of what they sold for a short time later. In addition, there are false statements made regarding the p[ictures ownership!

Mir Appraisal did a fantastic job on a appraisal consultation for me. When I arrived at their location I was greeted warmly and felt right at home. I never used one of these services and was a little nervous and hesitant at first, but realized I had made the right decision. They gave me a wealth of information on my item that I would have never been able to do on my own. The fee was very small for the amount of research they did for me. I highly recommend Mir for your appraisal needs.
