Review
As my title says, Thank you MIR! They did a wonderful job on a painting that was just sitting around my house for years. The staff was friendly and professional. I was given a wealth of information on my painting and learned that it by a very important artist and worth a lot of money. If it wasn't for Mir Appraisal, I would have probably just given the painting away.
