Of course any certificate of authenticity, given by even the best specialist dealers, in any field, all around the world, is simply a piece of paper, however, ours is backed up with the fact we are the largest dealers of our kind in the world, with over 100 years and four generation’s of professional trading experience behind us,
Back in in the early 1970's one of my company's directors, Hugh Schofield, as my representative, with my friend and colleague Norman Lefton of British Antique Exporters, and Michael Keehan of Michael Norman Antiques formed the Brighton Antique Dealers Association, and together with a London Antique Dealers Association, they merged to form LAPADA. We were members for over 35 years, but when I semi retired I let my membership lapse. it is a fine organisation and still going strong, but best enjoyed for young energetic dealers interesting in going to meetings and partaking exhibitions
