Trust a work is what it claims to be.
Artists own the record — but everyone around a work relies on it. See how a verifiable, tamper-evident provenance registry serves your part of the picture.
Collectors
The biggest risk in buying art is a story you can't check: a confident attribution, a letter on gallery paper, a provenance that falls apart under scrutiny. Attesian lets you verify a work's certificate and history yourself, in seconds, before any money changes hands.
Lawyers & legal teams
When authorship or ownership is contested, the quality of the record decides the case. Attesian produces provenance that is append-only, cryptographically signed, and independently timestamped — a record whose integrity can be demonstrated rather than asserted.
Fighting art fraud
Most art fraud is a story problem: a forged certificate, a back-dated provenance, an image quietly swapped for another. Attesian is built so that each of those leaves evidence rather than passing unnoticed.
Insurers & appraisers
Underwriting and claims turn on documentation that can be trusted. Attesian gives you provenance and authenticity evidence that is signed, append-only, and independently verifiable — so the record itself isn't the weak link in a file.
Auction houses & dealers
A catalogue entry is only as strong as the provenance behind it. Attesian lets you attach a signed, verifiable record to the works you handle, so a buyer can confirm a lot themselves instead of taking the description on trust.
Conservators & restorers
A work's condition history is part of its provenance, yet treatment records are the first thing to get lost between owners. Attesian lets a conservation or restoration event be recorded as part of a work's permanent, append-only history.
Art logistics & storage
Custody is where provenance most often breaks: a work moves, changes hands, sits in storage, and the paper trail thins out. Attesian lets movement and custody be recorded as events, keeping the chain of custody continuous instead of guessed at.
Art advisors & interior designers
Your reputation rides on every work you place. Attesian lets you source and recommend pieces whose provenance and authenticity your client can verify independently — so your advice is backed by evidence, not just judgement.
Galleries & venues
Offer branded certificates and full histories under your own name, with lasting credit for everything you add.
