IDMETRY is a independent and impartial third-party certifier specialized in ultra-precise scientific analysis of artworks. Using our patented technology, we create a unique and unforgeable digital fingerprint of each analyzed artwork, enabling with certainty its identification over time.
No. IDMETRY does not provide artwork attribution services. We exclusively perform objective scientific measurements of the physical properties of artworks. While our data may serve as a valuable tool for art history experts in their attribution research, this is not our area of intervention.
Our patented technology analyzes up to 54 billion points per 11 square ft across 8 distinct parameters. This micrometric, multispectral, and multidimensional mapping creates a unique signature that is impossible to reproduce or forge. It’s the unique fingerprint of the artwork.
Our certification provides irrefutable proof in numerous situations:
As a neutral third-party certifier, our reports constitute objective technical evidence that can be used in legal proceedings, insurance appraisals, or dispute resolution.
Yes. Our ultra-mobile equipment allows us to operate anywhere in the world. We travel directly on-site to analyze artworks, thus avoiding the risks associated with transporting the artworks. The only requirement is that the safety of our technicians and equipment is guaranteed.
Yes. Our technology adapts to all artwork dimensions, from miniatures to monumental frescoes. The fact that an artwork is hung on a wall does not prevent its analysis thanks to our patented processes specially developed by IDMETRY.
In the vast majority of cases, we perform analysis directly on-site. However, in very rare situations, certain specific analyses may require moving the artwork to our equipped laboratory. We evaluate each case individually and always prioritize on-site analysis.
To ensure optimal quality of our analyses, we need:
Our technology is 100% non-invasive: zero contact, zero risk. We use no chemicals, no dangerous radiation. The artwork is never touched or altered in any way. This is one of the great advantages of our method.
Our pricing depends on several factors:
Every IDMETRY basic certification protocol includes:
