Preserving Your Certificate of Authenticity
Your Original comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) to verify its originality and limited status. To ensure the long-term credibility and value of your artwork, it’s essential to properly preserve this certificate alongside your print.
Why It Matters
The COA serves as official documentation that your artwork is the artist's original. Keeping it intact and in good condition helps maintain the artwork’s value for future collectors, galleries, and appraisers.
Best Practices for Preservation
- Store Together: Keep the COA in the same location as the original but in a separate protective sleeve to prevent damage.
- Avoid Direct Contact: Use acid-free, archival-quality folders or sleeves to prevent paper deterioration.
- Document Ownership: If you frame or store the original separately, take a digital scan or high-quality photo of the COA as a backup.
- Frame with Care: If you display the COA, use a UV-protected, acid-free frame to prevent fading over time.
- Secure Storage: Place the COA separately in a fireproof or waterproof document holder for added protection.
By safeguarding your Certificate of Authenticity, you preserve your art work's historical and artistic integrity, ensuring its lasting significance for future generations.

Each Portrait of Love original artwork is sold unframed. This allows you to select a frame that fits your design preferences. For optimal preservation and display, we recommend a frame with acid-free matting and UV-protective glass to maintain the integrity of the artwork.
To preserve the integrity and longevity of your original, follow these care guidelines:
Handling & Display
- Always handle the original with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves to prevent oils or dirt from transferring onto the paper.
- Avoid bending or rolling the original, as the paper texture can crease easily and not fully flatten once damaged.
- Frame the original with acid-free matting and UV-protective glass to shield it from environmental wear while allowing the texture to remain visible.
Storage & Preservation
- If not immediately framed, store the original in a flat, archival-quality portfolio to protect against dust, moisture, and light exposure.
- Keep the artwork in a climate-controlled environment, away from humidity, direct sunlight, and fluctuating temperatures that could cause warping.
- Avoid adhesives or tapes that may leave residue; use archival corners for mounting.
By following these care instructions, you ensure that your art retains its rich texture and timeless presence, allowing future generations to appreciate its beauty and cultural significance.
