Overview
All the practice’s services.
The practice responds to four broad situations: understanding an object, giving it a value, supporting a decision — to buy, sell or pass on — and keeping a collection alive.
A journey rather than a catalogue
The services follow on naturally: an authentication often precedes a valuation; provenance research informs both; advice on sale or insurance comes next. You may choose just one.

A common method
Whatever the service, the approach is the same: examination, comparison, documentation, reasoned report. It is set out in the method section, with the step-by-step process and fee transparency.
Frequently asked questions
Going further
Which service should I start with?
In most cases, with a first reading of your object. It then indicates the right service: authentication, valuation, provenance research.
Are services offered remotely?
A first reading can be done from photographs. A formal opinion in principle requires a direct examination. Appointments take place in Douala, in Spain or by video call.
Does the practice work for professionals?
Yes: galleries, auction houses, insurers, notaries, museums and foundations. See the dedicated pages.
