ART AUTHENTICATION SERVICES:

Nothing is worth a good expert with tens of years of experience, but often it is recommended to ad some scientific evidence to what the eye see.

I would also stress that scientific analytics can not be hold as proof of authenticity alone. You need also to have knowledge on styles and preferably also some anthropological insight, since even in the old days items where made for decorative purposes, and that cheaters are becoming more clever everyday.
