ISA members do not ordinarily offer appraisals from photographs. Please click on "Search For An Appraiser" in the left hand column of your screen. Enter your city, state, zip code and click on "Antiques and Residential Contents." This should provide you with one or more names of individuals in your area who will have the necessary expertise to correctly appraise your secretary. Expect to pay a fee for this service.
Thanks for asking ISA.
