Hi there!

There are a number of ways you can go about getting your piece
appraised.  I highly recommend making your first stop the local art
museum to ask for their recommendation for a reputable appraiser.  If
you don't have an art museum in your town, there are other options:

What's It Worth to You.com offers online appraisals based on
information you submit to them for $9.95., and return a digital
apparaisal certificate.  After the online appraisal, the service will
provide you with a list of appraisers in your area if you desire a
physical appraisal (which is required to guarantee an appraisal's
accuracy).

One of the appraisers affiliated with that site, Dr. Darragh Elliott,
has his own appraisal service as well.  He specializes in European
art, and posesses remarkable credentials.  You can get a free
temporary appraisal quotation here:

You can also contact the Art Dealers Association of America to get
matched up with a reputable art appraiser in your area:

...and the more famous choices:

Christie's

And just for fun:

The deadline to get tickets for this year's Antiques Roadshow Summer
Tour has passed, but if you want to get a free appraisal, get on TV,
and get a well known appraiser excited and flustered, perhaps you
might want to keep an eye on the Antiques Roadshow home page for next
season's tour information?

Congratulations on such a marvelous find!  Good luck!
