Some of our auction items have been formally authenticated by experts or institutions. If a Certificate of Authenticity, authenticity cards, or original papers are included with any lot, that will always be noted in the description.

We have an extensive review process when items are consigned for auction. We endeavour to work with reputable consignors, and typically meet in person with them to discuss and review their collections. We often have long-standing and ongoing relationships with consignors over many auctions.

Our auction house expertise is in Canadian artwork; we routinely work with experts/consultants to review any consigned items that fall outside of our specific knowledge base. We never present an item in auction if we or our consultants have concerns about authenticity.

While we make every effort to research and present items correctly, potential bidders are advised to carefully review images, inspect the item in person (if possible; video call inspections are available upon request), consult their own experts, and bid accordingly.

Yes! Please contact us with the auction and lot number, and we will provide a detailed condition report.
