Documents / Certificate of Authenticity

Document Type

Certificate of Authenticity

A certificate of authenticity is the document that turns an object into an asset. Gilded Artworks generates archival-quality CoAs with decorative gold borders, artwork thumbnails, edition and medium details, and dual signature blocks for artist and gallery. Every certificate carries a unique certificate number and can be linked to NFC/QR verification, so a collector can confirm it in seconds — and you never answer "is this real?" by email again.

Best for: Galleries issuing CoAs with every sale, and independent artists who need collector-grade documentation without a designer.

Questions, answered

What makes a certificate of authenticity legally credible?

A credible CoA names the artist, title, year, medium, dimensions, and edition; carries a unique certificate number; and is signed by the artist or an authorized gallery representative. Gilded Artworks includes all of these by default, plus optional NFC/QR verification so the certificate can be validated against your registry.

Can I add my gallery logo and branding?

Yes. Your gallery name, logo, and contact details are applied to every certificate you generate. The layout stays gallery-grade — branding is integrated into the design, not pasted on top.

Do certificates work for limited editions?

Yes. Edition size and edition number are first-class fields, displayed prominently on the certificate alongside the medium and dimensions.

What paper size do certificates print at?

A4 (210×297mm) — the size collectors expect for framing and archival filing. US Letter is available for US-based galleries.
