As expert, she studied and authenticated unique items of high heritage value, orphaned, unattribuated or indeterminate works, in various fields of European art. She did the inventory of private collections (one of them came from the former estate of the french painter Charles Georges Dufresne (1876 - 1938) composed of more than 1200 works of art, paintings and antiques). Another one came from the former estate of the french painter Guillaume Guillon Lethière, appointed director of the French Academy in Rome in 1807, whose collection included drawings and prints from the italian Renaissance in particular.
At the same time, Laure Chevalier has maintained a teaching and academic research activity . She has led doctoral seminars and conferences (art history, traceability and expertise methods), notably in the European NETCHER program, at the Ecole du Louvre and at the Institut national du Patrimoine (INP).
Finally, over the past two decades, she has been responsible for the rediscovery of five treasures of European art : two ancient sculptures, a Romanesque goldsmith's work, and a painting from the italian High Renaissance.
