St. Dominic Press Registry
Certificate of Authenticity, Official Registry & Lifetime Guarantee
At St. Dominic Press, we believe that sacred art deserves a level of reverence that extends far beyond the print itself. Every work that leaves our atelier is treated as an archival document, meticulously crafted to be a timeless heirloom passed down through generations.
1. Certificate of Authenticity
Every print is accompanied by an official Certificate of Authenticity. This document serves as a formal guarantee of:
-
Museum-Grade Materials: Confirmation of the use of genuine Hahnemühle Museum Etching paper or Daguerre Canvas.
-
Archival Pigments: Assurance that the inks used are rated for maximum lightfastness and color depth.
-
Unique Identification: Each print is assigned a dedicated serial number, cross-referenced with our internal archives.
2. The Official Registry
To ensure the long-term value and provenance of your artwork, we maintain the St. Dominic Press Registry.
-
Provenance & Traceability: Every serial number on your certificate corresponds to a unique entry in our digital registry, documenting its origin.
-
Ownership Confirmation: In the event of loss or damage to your physical certificate, our registry allows us to verify the authenticity of your piece.
-
Collector’s Value: The Registry ensures that St. Dominic Press works are recognized in the art market as authentic, archival-grade reproductions.
3. Lifetime Archival Guarantee
Our commitment to quality is eternal. By utilizing materials that adhere to the strictest museum standards (ISO 9706), we guarantee:
-
Fade Resistance: When displayed away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity, our prints are lab-tested to remain vibrant for over 100 years.
-
Chemical Stability: We exclusively use acid-free and OBA-free (Optical Brightener Additive) materials to prevent yellowing or degradation over time.
"Art is a bridge to the Divine. Our mission is to ensure that this bridge remains stable, vibrant, and timeless."
