What Makes Estate Items Valuable at Auction?

💡 Key Value Drivers Provenance and documentation — verified ownership history dramatically increases collector confidence and bids. Maker's marks and signatures — pottery, silver, paintings with identifiable makers command premium prices. Rarity and completeness — full sets of china, complete collections, or production-limited items bid higher than partials.
