Consult a professional appraiser who has expertise in the type of item you own. They’ll carefully examine the piece’s materials, craftsmanship, maker’s marks, hallmarks, and signs of age or wear to determine its authenticity.

You can also visit reputable antique dealers, auction houses, or museums that offer appraisal and authentication services. It’s a good idea to gather any documentation, receipts, or provenance details you have, as these can support the authentication process.
