Dear customer. You are in possession of an authentic, antique and probably valuable Japanese object or are about to purchase such an object. The value of antique objects will only increase in the coming years and it is therefore very important to have the object valued and to determine the true value. Next, it is very important that you have the object insured against damage, theft or loss. For this, your insurer will probably request a so-called COA or Certificate of Authenticity.

Our specialists can arrange the valuation process for you and record it in a Certificate of Authenticity. A number of important items are included in this document, including the type of object, the market value, the age, the dimensions, a unique object number, the current owner, etc. A number of images are also linked to the object.
