Description

Proof of authenticity is one of the most important ways to help sell your design investment for more on the secondary market.

Certificates of Authenticity help to reduce the depreciation of collectible furniture, art and lighting by creating a official, shared record of origin, otherwise known as provenance.

Each official Rarify Certificate of Authenticity is personalized.

Our certificate includes an encrypted, digital record protected from editing, and an optional physical paper copy, with the following information:

  • Signature of a credentialed design historian and our CEO
  • Date of purchase
  • Buyer and seller names
  • Order confirmation number
  • Description of the item, its condition and its value at time of purchase

The following is also included whenever applicable:

    • Year or era of production
      • Manufacturer information
        • Letter of existing provenance
          • Available documentation or images supporting existing provenance
            Details

            When do orders ship?

            You can see estimated lead times under "Delivery", above.

            Newly made items ship from a warehouse or are made-to-order. There may be a lead time depending on the piece. We'll keep you updated if there is.

            Vintage items are all in-stock and ready to ship.

            What is Freight shipping?

            Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.

            Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.

            Freight shipments can take longer and are more costly than regular mail, but help to prevent damage to furniture during delivery.

            Is everything authentic?

            Rarify's entire collection is evaluated by credentialed experts for authenticity. We strive to only list an item for sale if we're certain it's authentic. Our team reviews every piece.
