Shown on this product · Sticker tag (adhesive, under the base)
A lot is labelled the moment it is accepted, and that label is the one thing that follows it through the warehouse, the studio and the viewing room. Putting identity on the label means the object's file is attached to the object at every handover, rather than travelling beside it in a system somebody has to reconcile.
Why this recommendation
Vera Certificates
Create connection beyond the sale
- The lot number, bound to the object rather than to the catalogue page
- The catalogue entry, and the condition report as written
- The consignment and the sale, with the chain that preceded them
- Each handover inside the house — intake, photography, viewing, despatch
- The sale it was offered in, and its date

Catch swaps at every handover
Anyone holding an item can check it at any handover, no app needed. A swapped one opens a different certificate.The check does not need a counter or a customer. Identity is on the object and the tap needs no app, so an item can be confirmed at any handover by whoever is holding it. A swapped item opens a different certificate, or none.
Stay in every resale
A resale is a transfer of the certificate, so the money and the ownership move together, on your terms.A resale is a transfer of the certificate, so the handover happens on your infrastructure rather than around it. An owner lists the item from its certificate and the sale completes inside it, so the money and the ownership record move together. The buyer arrives as a known owner, the sale is visible while it happens, and the terms are yours to set.

Why now
Every lot must be checked.
Nothing travels with it.
Are you prepared?
Stolen art and money-laundering rules are converging on auction houses. For example, lots are checked against a stolen-art register, and large sales need checks on the buyer too.
