Certificates

Beare's has an unparalleled reputation worldwide for its expertise and integrity. Our certificate of authenticity which accompanies our instruments is an affirmation of our belief in excellence.

Our central position in the international market has led many musicians, institutions and dealers to seek the reassurance of our certificate for their own instruments. We are always ready to examine your property with a view to providing a certificate but this service is entirely at our discretion. We only write certificates for bows that we are selling ourselves.

If you are travelling some distance it may be helpful to let us see photos.

A set of good quality photographs will help us in making a preliminary evaluation. For information on preparing your photographs, click here.

To schedule an appointment please contact Frances Gillham by email or telephone +44 (0)20 7307 9666.

We are now able to provide a certificate checking service free of charge for a limited period.
