For the owner of a Corot painting, getting it authenticated is an easy process. Digital photography is so powerful and captures so much information which can be accessed and retrieved with digital image analysis software, that most of the time the painting stays safely with you. No packing, no shipping, no headache with how to insure a painting that has not been authenticated.
You just get a set of high resolution photos, you email them, and we do the rest. We analyze, we study, we compare, we research - in the archives in France if necessary - we write the report, we issue the certificate (COA) if it is confirmed authentic and you receive a neat dossier in the mail.
For you the owner, it could not be easier.
Should it be necessary to examine the painting, we make an appointment to meet you where you prefer.
Examination - We examine artworks at your residence, your office, your bank, your attorney’s office, your art storage facility or at your hotel if you are traveling. At any art gallery or auctioneer. At any Government Agency office, at any Customs Port of Entry, at any Law Enforcement office or warehouse. In any place of worship or religious congregation building. In the premises of any organization, association, or club. At any library, college, or museum. At any conservator studio or laboratory. For insurance and liability reasons, we don’t receive or examine artworks at our locations.
