Vetting

Vetting is the process that aims to authenticate works of art and antiques. Each year every object that is presented on the Show floor at The Winter Show is vetted for authenticity, date, and condition by a committee of more than 120 experts from the United States and Europe.

As in past years, the Vetting Committee will examine all works presented at The Winter Show 2024 in person. All members of the Vetting Committee are authorities within their respective fields, and their impartial expertise affords the public the highest level of confidence in the fine and decorative arts offered at The Winter Show.
