At Antikarts, provenance and legality are not secondary mentions. They belong to the documentary framework that allows a piece to be evaluated correctly.
Review before publication
Whenever provenance, former collection, sale history or acquisition information is available, it is reviewed before publication and presented cautiously in the record.
Constant vigilance
We avoid any presentation that would trivialise uncertainty, missing context or sources incompatible with the lawful and intelligible circulation of cultural goods.
