INVENTORIES

In order to have a detailed list of the possessions you own, you can make an inventory: it catalogs the objects, noting their quantity, origin, characteristics and quality. Eventually it can be used to provide the size of an asset, whether owned by an individual, family or corporation, and will express it through a valuation.

Where an estate has multiple objects an inventory may be required for an inheritance or for divisions, but it is also the most appropriate tool for protecting the integrity of a collection.

“Conservation is synonymous with culture. The more cultured a people is, the more they are aware of the inescapable need to preserve their heritage, both environmental and historical-artistic. Protecting our heritage means, therefore, safeguarding a part of the image of our civilization.”

An inventory is customarily articulated as follows:

  • List of individual items;
  • Description of artistic features;
  • Indication of the era;
  • Indication of the production area;
  • Description of materials;
  • Indication of monetary value.
