A CLOSER LOOK AT THE STORY BEHIND AN OBJECT

Explore the details. Understand the evidence.

Antique authentication services for collectors, owners, and resellers. Begin with a virtual review of photographs and available history, or arrange an in person review in the greater Las Vegas area. Each engagement starts with the object, the questions you need answered, and a clearly agreed scope.

AN EVIDENCE LED REVIEW

A closer look, with a clear scope.

01

Virtual authentication review

Review clear photographs of the object, maker’s marks, signatures, labels, construction details, condition, and any available ownership or purchase records.

02

In person review in Las Vegas

Arrange a closer examination of relevant details in the greater Las Vegas area. The location, access, object type, and inspection requirements are confirmed in advance.

03

Research and provenance

Explore identifying features, historical context, materials, documented comparables, and available provenance to assess what the evidence supports.

04

Clear, scoped findings

Agree on the questions, research scope, and written deliverables before work begins. Findings distinguish supported observations from uncertainties and any need for further specialist examination.

UNDERSTAND WHAT THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTS

Clarity about the findings.

Photographs and documentation can provide a useful starting point. A review does not guarantee that every object can be conclusively authenticated remotely. We explain uncertainties, any need for further examination, and what the agreed findings cover.

Share a general description and your questions in the inquiry first. We will agree on the photographs, records, and any inspection needed as part of the engagement.

CHOOSE HOW TO BEGIN

Online, or in person in Las Vegas.

Virtual reviews are available remotely. In person antique authentication is available in the greater Las Vegas area, including Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Summerlin.

Antique authentication is custom quoted by object and scope. A virtual review may identify the need for physical inspection or specialist testing. Authentication research is separate from a market valuation or formal appraisal; no insurance, tax, or legal appraisal is included unless separately agreed.
