About this Gig
I provide professional research on artworks, antiques, historical objects, manuscripts, photographs, documents and collectibles.
I can investigate an objects history, attribution clues, provenance, inscriptions, dates, makers and historical context.
Depending on the package selected, research may include:
Identification and historical research
Artist, maker or author research
Provenance investigation
Analysis of signatures, inscriptions, stamps and labels
Historical and cultural context

Online archival and bibliographic research
References and citations
My approach is evidence-based. I distinguish documented facts from hypotheses and clearly indicate when a conclusion cannot be established with certainty.
This service is suitable for collectors, dealers, auction professionals, galleries and owners wishing to better understand an object before selling or cataloguing it.
Please provide clear photographs and any known information before ordering when possible.
Important: This is independent historical and documentary research, not an official authentication or financial appraisal.

FAQ
What types of objects can you research?
I can research artworks, antiques, manuscripts, historical documents, photographs, books, collectibles and other objects with historical or cultural significance.
Can you identify an unknown artist, maker or author?
Yes. I can investigate signatures, inscriptions, labels, stamps, stylistic characteristics and documentary sources. However, identification cannot be guaranteed when the available evidence is insufficient.
Do you research provenance?
Yes. Provenance research can include previous owners, collections, exhibitions, auction records, archival references and other documented traces when information is available.
What do you need from me?
Please provide clear photographs of the entire object and close-ups of signatures, inscriptions, labels, stamps, markings and any accompanying documents. Dimensions and any known history are also very useful.
Is your research an official authentication or appraisal?
No. I provide independent documentary and historical research. My findings may help establish attribution, history or provenance, but they do not replace a certificate from an officially recognised expert or a formal financial appraisal.
Can you research rare or unidentified objects?
Yes. Unidentified and unusual objects are welcome. I can investigate available clues and compare them with museum collections, archives, auction records, bibliographic sources and other relevant references.
Can you guarantee that an object will be identified?
No. Research results depend on the available evidence and documentation. When a definitive conclusion is not possible, I will clearly distinguish established facts, possible interpretations and unresolved questions.
