[Eugene]

Are we talking low tech tools or high tech? X-rays and spectrometers or jeweler's loupes?

 

[Claire Yeon]

Technology and Jane Austen today?

I am oddly reminded of one of my all-time favorite quotes from a client: an elegant, elderly, well-dressed woman driving a nice car who once said to me, "Honey, if there are two things I know, it's roses and dynamite." I would love to read her autobiography.))

 

[Chase]

I sat through an entire course on art identification.

 

[Claire Yeon]

Proving something is a forgery is relatively easy. Proving something is genuine, not so much.

 

[Chase]

The check list is long, and combinations don’t always create certainty

 

[Chase]

Roses and dynamite... sounds like the prelude to a nobel prize speech.

 

[Eugene]

Or a band or song.

 

[Chase]

Or cheap wine targeted to millennials.

 

[Eugene]

Point.

 

[Claire Yeon]

Or cheap wine targeted to millennials.

I would drink it.

 

[Eugene]

So what is the process for checking a suspected forgery? I'm sure there's skill, but what's in your toolkit?

 

[Chase]

No, @Claire Yeon, only good wine for you.
