Certificates of Authenticity
A Signature of Trust from Goodson Gallery
Every antique and artwork sold by Goodson Gallery comes with something more than history—it comes with confidence.
Each piece is carefully inspected and authenticated by founder and expert appraiser Michael Anthony Vallone. Backed by decades of knowledge and passion for rare artifacts, Michael ensures that everything we sell is genuine, historically grounded, and worthy of serious collections.
Our COAs – What You Receive
With every purchase from Goodson Gallery, whether it’s a painting, artifact, or piece from our History of Smoke collection, you will receive an official Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
This document includes:
- A formal description of the item
- Historical and contextual notes (when applicable)
- Signature from Michael Anthony Vallone verifying authenticity
- Item number and date of issuance
Your COA is more than a piece of paper—it’s a lifetime link to Goodson Gallery.
