It was in 1968 when Martin Carmelly founded Gemart Appraisals of Canada, thence beginning a professional practice of independent consulting and valuation services for objets d’art and antiques.

Today Gemart Appraisal Associates – now a division of Carmelly + Associates, Inc. – is ranked among the top independent fee Appraisers of High Value Cultural Property Assets in North America.

 

The high regard extended to our professional reputation is not serendipitous. It is the result of many years of continued effort to ensure that our clients are provided with the most personalized and competent professional services possible – all this at a reasonable cost.

As independent (and duly certified) practitioners of Applied Valuation Sciences, where these relate to objects of Art and Antiques and other High Value Collectibles and Memorabilia, we are always committed to (and totally focused upon) our clients’ specific requirements.

We are not ‘dealers’ or ‘auctioneers’ and thus we are of the market but not in the market!... Our independence and our objectivity together with our extensive knowledge about the various markets ensure that our clients benefit from the best available services.

Our professional amenities include one of the most comprehensive ‘in-house’ libraries (built up over a third of a century) in which many academic publications and some of the best reference materials share space with state-of-the-art data-retrieval facilities providing up-to-the-minute access to international art and antiques market-information.

And our professional team of Research Analysts, working closely with other high-level professional affiliates and internationally recognised experts in the field, are well equipped to process complex data culled from most reliable sources, and thus develop our illustrated, state-of-the-art appraisal documents. It is, therefore, not surprising that OUR CLIENTS HIGHLY RECOMMEND US!...
