Banksy Welcome Mat, by Lord Lucas Roham on Jan 21, 2021 18:53:45 GMT 1, Hearing again that they'll be one more round of the Welcome Mats and then that's it.
2500 in total.
Keep an eye out for the last 500.

Good point. With Walled off hotel sections, they are all unique and made to be difficult to fake. Each has individual paperwork from the hotel. These mats will be pretty easy to copy, unless they give a COA.

There is proof of purchase. Things come inside the box.
Not sure we need to go any further and help future fakers.

LV Box, Receipt, GDP Tag, LW Tissue Paper, Email Receipt, Shipping Label on Box, Material Placement and execution of portions of Life jacket, size.
When you have posters selling for 5k with 0 providence I think these have enough going on to weed out fakes.

Each mat is also unique/handmade and comes with an invoice with the buyer’s info, address etc. Can’t see how the mats would be any easier to fake than a plastic wall piece. The wall pieces would be easier to fake imho. A simple mold and some paint is all you’d need.

Only asking because I’ve recently bought one but all I seem to have is a postcard. Should there be an invoice?

They are all unique with different markings front back and bottom. All this is photographed by the hotel so as authentication can be made without a doubt when presented with the paperwork.
They are very detailed also, in the sculpture and have little differences with rocks and knocks etc. You can't fake a wall piece, by design.
The mats arent designed like that. To be authenticated. They're a charity buy.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Woodey1001 on Jan 22, 2021 19:49:21 GMT 1, Thinking on it. Wall sections have about five layers of extra authentication compared to mats.
I don't see how they can be faked assuming the hotel will check it out for you.
I'd assume also when the hotel closes that pest control will take over authentication because of all the design to allow for that.
Mats - can't see any authentication at all 🤷 fakers dream. After the GDP giveaways of course.

Because of the design, to ensure Wall pieces can be authenticated. There's layers more than 5 of security to ensure each piece is unique and can be identified as the original piece. It's not by accident, clearly. Looking at other items i.e mats. It's sophisticated and so one must assume designed and run by pest control. A boutique hotel in the West Bank would not come up with that system for sure.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Woodey1001 on Jan 22, 2021 20:19:19 GMT 1, Another example on wall sections is the rock base that comes with walls. It's for authentication. Try and fake that broken bit of concrete when it's been photographed by the hotel with the piece. You can't.
They can be checked out quickly by just referencing photos and the receipt.

And on the moulded bases they knock out tiny stones from the base, paint them different colours. Tiny little differences. You can't use a mould to copy them. Each is unique.

Pest control will keep their distance from all the tat
It's in their interest to.
And I don't see the hotel authenticating either.
They should be viewed for what they are. Mats, wall bits, and box sets.
Things people bought to help other people out and as a reminder of the things we do with our lives.
Not stocks or shares.
Secondary Prices should be kept low to reflect this.

In the same way that walls are each unique the same can be said for mats. No two mats are exactly the same, and given that they're all numbered they could have easily taken a pic of each mat so they can match it up to the photo.

The Welcome Mats are like any commodity. It's the seller's job to put together a believable case to the buyer that the item being sold is real.
With the Welcome Mats you could throw in credit card statements, confirmation email's, the original box, tissue paper etc etc etc not really a big deal tbh

Wall pieces are hand painted, artworks. Tribute pieces to iconic street art. Official Banksy editions.
Not tat. Some of them painted by Banksy himself, some by other street artists.
Wall sections are different. Better than prints in many ways. Much lower editions.
Mats.. very high edition. More a charity thing.

The postcard is fairly meaningless to be honest. I bought some cushions last month and they both had postcards included and the same morse code tissue paper as my WM came with.

Not so much with the mats, but they are for charity. Not commercial pieces like the wall sections sold from his own shop.

There is no difference in artistic value, apart from hand painting and much lower editions on wall sections.
Both commercial editions, sold from source. Banksy/PC do not view them as tat for sure. They weren't selling them at £10 a pop!

I get the feeling PC views wall sections and mats very similarly. Neither will ever get a COA, they're both authentic banksy designed/licensed piece, and they'll likely never command the kind of $$$ that limited edition prints will command.

Oh yeah. It's obvious the artist never touched them. Just some tat sold in the West Bank to random tourists who spend £500 on a random bit of plastic... Bore off
