At Leipzig Galleries, authenticity is not simply a standard — it is our legacy. For over two centuries, our family has acquired, authenticated, preserved, and presented some of the world’s most significant autographs and historical documents. This heritage has established us as one of the foremost authorities in the field today. Every display we create is a fusion of expert craftsmanship and uncompromising verification, offering you the ultimate assurance: that your autographed memorabilia or historical document is, without exception, entirely authentic.  

 

HOW IT WORKS

​

Every historic document and vintage autograph entrusted to Leipzig Galleries undergoes a meticulous, multi-layered verification process. After establishing provenance, each piece is subjected to rigorous examination by our in-house forensic specialists and, where appropriate, corroborated by select third-party experts. This dual approach ensures a consensus of authenticity, with every signature measured against an extensive archive of verified exemplars.

Our authentication process integrates cutting-edge technology with centuries of expertise. Instruments such as the Video Spectral Comparator (VSC) allow us to scrutinise each detail with unparalleled precision — employing advanced magnification, infrared imaging, coaxial lighting, and side-by-side comparisons. These techniques can uncover erasures, masked or obliterated signatures, variations in ink composition, and other subtle indicators of forgery invisible to the naked eye.

For all modern autographed entertainment and sports pieces, authenticity begins at the source. Every signature is obtained through licensed signing sessions, conducted and witnessed either directly by Leipzig Galleries or by a certified, highly reputable third-party authenticator.

Our uncompromising standards and heritage of excellence have earned Leipzig Galleries a reputation as one of the most trusted names in the world of fine collectibles.

The Leipzig Galleries hologram is a hallmark of provenance and trust. Precision-engineered and tamper-proof, each hologram bears a unique identification number linked exclusively to the accompanying Leipzig Galleries Letter of Authenticity. This number is securely recorded in our private Authentication Database, where it can be verified at any time to reveal the complete provenance record and a high-resolution archival image of your piece. This uncompromising standard ensures that every Leipzig Galleries display is as secure in its authenticity as it is exceptional in its presentation.
