Any time a work of art comes from an uncertain origin, it should undergo the authentication process. Sophisticated fakes can fool even the experienced collector, thus care should be taken at all times. The authentication process ensures the piece is what the original seller is claiming it to be.
The process begins with a visual examination, with magnifications used, before we move on to simply physical tests. This is all that is needed for most pieces of work. We employ techniques such as Carbon-14 Dating, x-ray imaging examinations and Thermoluminescence, determining which is most appropriate in any given situation. Individuals often question the cost of authentication, yet it can save them a great deal of money by ensuring they are buying something that is truly what they believe it is.
