Every day valuable artworks and antiques can change in value.

In the event of calamity, fire or theft it is imperative you have your precious artworks and antiques documented and correctly valued. Astute collectors ensure that their collection is the subject of a registered valuation lodged with their insurance company.

James Parkinson, Director of Valuations and Collections Management is New Zealand's only Property institute qualified valuer working in the area of art and antiques. He is an expert in all aspects of valuation methodology and institutional valuation practice.

In simple terms that means only ART+OBJECT valuations have the depth, rigour and professional recognition required by New Zealand's leading collectors, museums, corporates and public institutions. It is this quality of valuation advice which is now available to the private collector.

James Parkinson has fourteen years professional valuation experience. Together with Ben Plumbly he has completed valuations for numerous public galleries and institutions including the University of Auckland, the Auckland City Art Gallery, the Rotorua Museum of Art and History, the New Zealand Historic Places Trust and recently the Dunedin Public Art Gallery decorative arts collection, the entire contents of the Hocken Library and an important collection of New Zealand pottery for a major public heritage trust.
