Questions About Certificate Of Authenticity
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2020

    Pieces that have a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) should have that noted in the listing description. Certificates of Authenticity should be from the artist/designer, the artist/designer’s foundation or estate, or the recognized scholar for the artist/designer.

    Authenticate a Missoni dress by carefully examining the quality. The Missoni dress is known for an exceptionally high-quality knit that delivers exceptional durability and is defined by a classic zig-zag pattern. Overlocked seams are a classic finishing touch. Missoni pieces are made in Italy, which should be specified on the tag, and the tag of newer pieces may feature an RFID tag. In order to be sure that your Missoni piece is authentic, having a professional evaluate it is ideal. Shop an array of expertly vetted Missoni pieces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024
    There are a few answers to who authenticates paintings. If the artist is still alive, they may offer direct authentication services. If the artist is deceased, their estate may provide these services. Galleries and art dealers usually authenticate artwork that they sell, and certified appraisers may also provide this service. Find a wide variety of paintings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To authenticate Balenciaga sneakers, check the stitching first. It should be easily visible on the shoe. Then, check the toe box area for the European size number — on real sneakers, the number will be half-buried beneath the seam. Examine the laces. If they appear creased or uneven, the shoes may not be legit. Find vintage and new authenticated Balenciaga footwear on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    You can examine many elements to authenticate Dior shoes. Dior shoes have deep, well-defined treads, while imitations may have very shallow patterns. Insoles on Dior shoes read "made in Italy" and show the brand name in the correct font. The words "made in Italy" should also appear above the style number and the Italian shoe size. Shop a large selection of expertly vetted Dior shoes on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To authenticate Fendi bags produced after 2004, look for the holographic tag that bears the serial number. Counterfeiters usually cannot fully reproduce the reflective quality of these tags. For bags made before 2004, check the inside for the serial number. It will appear engraved on a metal plate or embossed onto the leather. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of expertly vetted Fendi bags.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To authenticate Fendi sunglasses, begin by studying any nose pads included in the design. Real Fendi sunglasses show an engraving of the double-F logo on the posts that support the pads. Normally, Fendi prints their name in capital letters beside the words "made in Italy" and the CE logo on the right temple. On 1stDibs, shop a range of expertly vetted Fendi sunglasses.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To authenticate a Dior scarf, examine the tag. Designs vary from year to year, but generally the tag will display at least the brand name in the correct font. On an authentic Dior scarf, the tag is usually perfectly parallel to the edge of the scarf and the printing appears centered and crisp. The stitching that holds the tag should be evenly spaced. Find a collection of expertly vetted Dior scarves on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To authenticate your Rolex box, first check the Crown emblem. It should be crisp and clear. Next, check the edges of the box, as they should not be needle sharp like some of the fake boxes tend to be. You can shop a collection of authentic Rolex watches from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To authenticate Roy Lichtenstein art, consult the help of a licensed art appraiser with experience identifying Pop art.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    To authenticate a Chanel GST, first, check the interior label. On an authentic bag, the label will be leather and feature embossing with the Chanel name in the correct font followed by a registered trademark symbol above the words Made in Italy or Made in France. In addition, genuine bags will have the full Chanel name stamped on all zipper pulls, and you should not see any screws on the rings. Shop a variety of Chanel Grand Shopper Tote bags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    To authenticate a vintage Kelly handbag, look for a heat stamp under the front flap on the outside of the bag. On authentic pieces produced after 1954, the stamp will read “Hermès Paris Made in France” in gold or silver. Earlier versions may have a colorless stamp and slightly different wording, but regardless of age, the stamp should be straight, have evenly-spaced letters and be deeply set into the bag. On 1stDibs, find a range of authentic vintage Hermès Kelly handbags from some of the world’s top boutiques.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    You can authenticate a Chanel brooch by checking the back for a little oval stamp or embossed mark. It should be noted that some of the oldest jewelry pieces were not marked, but these pieces are extremely rare and do not often come up for sale. Most of the Chanel jewelry and brooches you will find are from the 1980s or later and will include an oval tag, plate, or stamp. Shop expertly vetted Chanel jewelry from some of the world’s top reputable boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024
    No, Tiffany does not authenticate jewelry in its store or through its official website. To tell whether Tiffany jewelry is real, look for metal hallmarks. Silver pieces should stay "Sterling" or "925." Tiffany & Co. uses the 750 stamp for its 18-karat gold jewelry and the 950 stamp for platinum. Not only should a hallmark be present, but the spacing on the numbers or letters should be neat and properly aligned on the jewelry. For assistance authenticating a piece, consult an expert appraiser or dealer. Find a wide range of Tiffany & Co. jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Check the authenticity of Versace products by tapping the NFC tag with your phone or scanning the QR code. Be warned that some fakes will give you a logo code so make sure you verify it online. Shop a collection of Versace accessories from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    To authenticate a Joan Miró piece, look for the artist's signature. Joan Miró hand-signed many of his works in a heavy script. Typically, he added only his last name and placed a period after the ó. Keep in mind that there are many reproductions of his works in circulation. As a result, the best way to authenticate the artist's work is to take your piece to a certified appraiser who can conduct research and thoroughly inspect the work to determine whether it is a genuine Miró. Shop a variety of Joan Miró from some of the world’s top galleries on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023
    To authenticate a Cartier lighter, locate the serial number. Then, contact Cartier’s customer service team to assess whether it is a genuine serial number and whether the product type and style match your piece. Check the official Cartier website for current contact information. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Cartier lighters.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023
    To authenticate a Saarinen table, first check the materials. Typically, authentic tables will have a cast aluminum base rather than wood or plastic. Tabletop materials vary and can include wood veneer, laminate and natural marble, but you usually won't find plastic tabletops on real pieces. Examine the edge of the tabletop as well. Reproductions will often display flat edges, while genuine tables will have a gently tapered tabletop. If you're uncertain as to the authenticity of a particular table, consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. Through his work as an architect and designer, Eero Saarinen was a prime mover in the introduction of modernism into the American mainstream. Legendary furnishings designed by Saarinen like his durable side tables, the Womb chair, the Tulip chair and the Pedestal table are still frequently used in interiors today. On 1stDibs, find a collection of authentic Eero Saarinen tables.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To authenticate a Fendi wallet, first look for the serial number. All leather goods produced in the 1980s and after will have a serial number inside one of the pockets. In addition, the wallets typically have a leather tag that reads "Fendi Roma" or "Fendi made in Italy." On 1stDibs, shop a range of expertly vetted Fendi wallets.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Hallmarks can help you authenticate Dior jewelry. Typically, Dior stamps its hallmarks on the fasteners of their jewelry. Pieces made in the 1950s often include the names of the designers Kramer or Mitchel Maer. Pieces from this period may also say "Dior West Germany" or "Made in Germany for Christian Dior." During the 1960s and 70s, the hallmark became "Chr.Dior." Since the 1980s, the brand's hallmark reads "Christian Dior" along with a copyright symbol and the manufacturing year. You may also find "Made in France" on modern hallmarks. Shop a large selection of expertly vetted Dior jewelry on 1stDibs.
