How we verify the authenticity of every piece

PROVENCY YOU CAN TRUST – HONEST, THOROUGH RESEARCH

Hallmarks, maker signatures & historical documentation

Each piece is closely examined for maker’s marks, signatures, and relevant historical documentation. We trace the lineage of each item, referencing archives and using our in-depth knowledge to ensure authenticity.

Research into ownership, period, material & construction

We conduct thorough research into the item’s ownership history, the period it was made, and the materials used. This meticulous approach allows us to provide insight into the piece's origin, ensuring it holds up to our high standards of provenance.

Expert authentication & independent evaluation where required

We have in-house specialist who are trained to verify authenticity; however, where necessary, we work with independent experts to verify the authenticity of particularly rare or complex items. Our commitment to research and evaluation ensures that each piece meets the high standards we uphold.
