Orientdig has established a robust system to ensure that all antiques and paintings purchased through its platform are authentic and of the highest quality. The process involves several key steps:
Every item listed on Orientdig undergoes thorough scrutiny by a team of seasoned experts in art and antiques. These specialists possess deep knowledge in various historical periods, art styles, and materials, enabling them to spot even the most subtle signs of counterfeit products.
Provenance or the documented history of the art piece is meticulously researched to verify its authenticity. This includes tracing the ownership history, previous sale records, and any exhibitions it might have been a part of. This helps in establishing a clear and continuous history of the item, which is crucial for authenticity.
Orientdig employs advanced scientific methods such as X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and infrared spectroscopy to analyze the materials used. This helps in determining the age of the items and whether they are made from materials consistent with the period they are claimed to be from.
A dedicated quality assurance team conducts random inspections on the items. This group works independently from the verification team to ensure that all aspects of the item meet Orientdig's quality standards repeatedly and consistently.
After verification and purchase, items are carefully packed using materials that protect against environmental factors and are handled with utmost care to prevent any damage during transit. Each package is insured, providing additional security to the buyers.
Orientdig believes in empowering its customers by providing them with knowledge and resources. This includes detailed guides on how to assess the authenticity of antiques and art, which helps buyers make informed decisions and recognize genuine articles.

Through these meticulous steps, Orientdig not only ensures the authenticity and quality of each item but also maintains a high standard of trust and satisfaction among its clientele.
