Does this craft sculpture come with a certificate of authenticity or artist signature?
That’s a great question, and I’m glad you asked it early. It shows you really care about the piece and its value. When it comes to this craft sculpture, the answer depends on the specific work you’re looking at.
For our handcrafted, limited-edition sculptures — yes, absolutely. Each one comes with a signed certificate of authenticity (COA). This certificate includes details like the artist’s name, the edition number (e.g., “5/50”), the date of creation, and a physical or embossed stamp from the studio. Many of these sculptures also have the artist’s signature discreetly engraved or painted on the base or a hidden area of the piece. That signature is part of what makes it original.
For our one-of-a-kind, original sculptures — the COA is always included, and the artist’s signature is either on the sculpture itself (usually on the underside or back) or hand-written on the certificate. We take provenance seriously because it protects both your investment and the artist’s legacy.
For standard, open-edition craft sculptures (like some decorative pieces in our collection), a formal certificate may not be provided. However, you’ll still receive a purchase receipt that clearly describes the piece and its origins. Some of these pieces include a maker’s mark or studio stamp, but not always a full signature.
If you’re purchasing a specific sculpture right now, I can check its listing details and confirm exactly what documentation and signature it includes. Just let me know the item name or number. Either way, if you ever need proof of authenticity for insurance, appraisal, or resale, I encourage you to keep all paperwork — and if it’s a missing COA, we can often arrange a replacement letter from the artist’s studio for a small fee.
Does that help clarify? I’m happy to walk you through the paperwork for any piece you’re interested in.
