Individually reviewed note
Local read
FAIR lists Hands of America as an unclaimed Santa Fe, NM profile with Antiques and Personal Property specialty language, Antiques/Estate service categories, Estate and probate routing, website-backed source confidence, source checked 2026-05-16, and no FAIR verified status, public fee statement, public USPAP education detail, credential field, or claim/control status. The source site supports a Santa Fe business at 401 Rodeo Rd. under Hands of America / Manos de America, tied to Leonel Capparelli. Its public copy describes custom designs in new or recycled wood, repairs/restorations, Spanish Colonial antiques and New Mexico furniture, iron furniture and lighting, stone, wood, antique artwork, paintings, pottery, carved wooden religious figures, accessories, and museum-quality restoration. The about page says Capparelli's family restored antique furniture in Uruguay and that the Capparellis bought antiques in northern New Mexico and Mexico. It does not, in the fetched text, show appraisal-report services, appraiser credentials, fee terms, USPAP education, or formal estate/probate report language. Treat this profile as an antiques/restoration/dealer-adjacent lead to verify before using it for a formal appraisal: confirm whether Hands of America prepares written appraisal reports, who signs them, what categories are in scope, and whether the assignment is estate/probate, insurance, donation, resale, restoration planning, or personal inventory.
The clearest source-backed fit is Spanish Colonial/New Mexico furniture, antiques, restored or repurposed wood, iron/stone pieces, artwork, paintings, pottery, carved religious figures, and accessories. FAIR lists Estate and probate as a routing signal, but the fetched source site should be checked directly for formal report work.
Ask first whether this is a formal appraisal engagement or an antiques/restoration/retail consultation. Confirm written report availability, signer, fees independent of value or sale outcome, inspection method, condition documentation, current address/hours, and whether estate/probate use is supported.
Written from registry data and this appraiser's public materials. Descriptive only — not a certification, ranking, or endorsement.
