Ruffner Art Appraisal & Consulting specializes in full-service art appraisal and collection management. We partner with our clients to assess the value and future planning for their valued collections and art pieces.

Your art collection is valuable to you personally and may also constitute a significant financial asset. Therefore, it deserves the utmost care and management. If someone else had to come in and deal with the disposition or transfer of your collection, are you prepared?

By discovering the value of your collections and heirlooms, Elizabeth Ruffner can help you determine the best way to store, care for and even sell your treasures.

Ruffner Art Appraisal & Consulting is based in Chattanooga, TN and serves the entire Southeast region including Atlanta, Birmingham, Charlotte, Charleston, Memphis, Nashville and Savannah.
