I have two original Fra Angelico’s celestial Angels with tabernacles given to me by grandparents in 1967. The original bill of sale is dated 10/23/1900 from Giraldi & Rangoni, merchants from Florence Italy. Can you please provide me with an idea of their value and a name, address, phone number of a reputable art appraisal person/firm here in Connecticut?
Thank you very much
Regards,
Bruce
Hi Martha: Here is the response I received from Christies. I told them to explain further but they declined to do so. Can you either assist or at least provide me with a name,address phone number, name of company to have them appraise this art for me. Thanks for whatever assistance you may be able to provide to me. Regards,Bruce

Dear Mr Bennett:
Thank you for contacting Christie’s regarding the possible sale of your property. Our specialists have carefully reviewed the information you kindly sent to us and have requested that I share with you their response. Based on the information provided, your property does not appear to fall into a property category or value level that Christie’s currently handles for sale. For that reason, our specialists are not able to suggest an estimate or provide other information.
Although we cannot be of assistance at this time, we hope that we may be of service to you in the future.
