FR Review:
Cynthia Bowers is a residential generalist: She appraises the contents of a home—focusing on fine art, antiques, porcelain and silverware. Bowers is commended by sources for her knowledge of furniture in particular, including mid-century pieces. However, as a 30-year veteran of the business and an accredited member of the American Appraisers Association, she can appraise a variety of styles and eras, for all purposes (including division of property, charitable donations and expert witness). Residential clients make up a large part of Bowers’s business, especially those needing formal insurance valuations prior to a large move. Bowers charges an hourly fee for her services—her rate is higher than some, but certainly within industry standards and a relative bargain compared to the absolute top of the market. Sources praise her expertise and her straightforward way of doing business.
Representative Client Comments:
“I recommend people to her whenever antique furniture comes into the picture.” “Blunt and to-the-point.” “Has been around for a while and has seen it all.” “Knowledgeable, a long-time veteran.”
