Successful verification enhances a piece’s value and demonstrates a commitment to ethical art stewardship and cultural preservation. Authenticity through database checks is vital for upholding ethical standards and safeguarding cultural heritage.
All artifacts at Galeria ConTici are ethically sourced and legally obtained by mainly acquiring old family collections and Museum deaccessions. Our commitment extends to strict adherence to state and local laws, aligning with crucial articles such as “The Antiquities Act of 1906,” “UNESCO 1970” (ratified in 1972), and “UNIDROIT 1995.” Discover our perspective on navigating the ethical landscape of pre-Columbian art, ensuring that these treasures are preserved, respected, and understood in the context of their rich cultural histories.
