Client confidentiality

LLC "In Consulting" - observes complete confidentiality in relation to the client and the services provided to him. We accept objects for examination from the owner or his representative. Only in the case of an assessment, we will ask you to provide us with information about the owner or provide a power of attorney for the right to represent his interests. In other cases, we are not interested in information about the owner, we issue conclusions and objects to the one who signed a research contract with us. And in any case, customer information is stored in a closed database, access to which is limited even for company employees.

We exclude the contacts of experts with the client, leaving the data about him confidential.

We take from all our experts and employees a nondisclosure agreement about research and results for each specific sample.

We do not provide information to clients about our previous work. We can only confirm the authenticity of the opinion we issued earlier.

Before you go to us

Think about the purpose of your visit.

For example: if a picture has been hanging in your home for many years or a piece of jewelry has pleased you, and you are not going to sell it, inherit it, or insure it - continue to admire it, you do not need to contact us. After all, we often find out about our illnesses after visiting a doctor, before visiting - we, as a rule, are healthy.

If you really need to find out the truth - come to us.

About the sale of works of art and antiques, they say that it is not the works themselves that are sold, but the papers on them. Without expert opinions convincing for the art, antique market, a painting signed by Shishkin is perceived as unknown when a written work by an unknown author or a Faberge product without an expert opinion is just a trinket.

So, you want to visit us

First of all, you need to make an appointment for a preliminary consultation, which will be scheduled at a convenient time for you in our office.

It is necessary to bring the product itself to the appointment (we need the dimensions, technique, the alleged author, the estimated date of creation).

During the preliminary consultation, the expert determines the list of works that must be performed to identify the product, in particular:

If it is obvious to the consultant that the work is not valuable, and the cost of expert work may exceed its market value, you will be advised not to think about its value or authenticity anymore and not to waste money. However, if you insist on carrying out a complex of technological research, we will carry it out, because the client's desire is the law for us.
If the examination is advisable, you will be advised, depending on the specific situation, to conduct:
- preliminary examination. Its result is the opinion of an expert who specializes in a given direction or an author. The cost of the preliminary examination will be included in the cost of the subsequent examination, if any;
- technological expertise that will determine the time of product creation;
- art criticism expertise, if the technological expertise has already been carried out or its conduct is inexpedient for the above reasons. The price of art criticism is negotiable. It is determined by an art expert, and we agree on it with you. We can confirm the expert opinion of an art critic presented by you, if the expert indicated in this opinion is present in the list of experts accredited by us and the results of the technological examination carried out by us do not contradict the data of the art criticism examination.
If a complex of examinations has been carried out, or, taking into account the exceptions in the above cases, only art history - you can order us to evaluate the product. You will need an appraisal if you intend to sell or buy products, inherit, insure or receive a loan secured by it. The price of assessment services is calculated individually for each specific work only after a complex of examinations has been carried out.

We would like to note that for each product or work of art, the list of possible examinations and their cost will vary. To clarify the cost - contact us in advance.
