What Determines a Painting’s Value?
Understanding what makes a painting valuable is an art in itself. Here’s a glimpse into what we look for when evaluating your paintings:
The Artist’s Signature
A signature can unlock a painting’s identity. Is it a known artist? A hidden gem? We’ll help verify authenticity and research the artist’s history to determine if your piece is a masterpiece in disguise.
The Provenance
Every painting has a story, and its history adds to its value. With our expertise, we’ll uncover whether your artwork has links to notable owners, galleries, or exhibitions.
Style, Subject, and Period
From Renaissance classics to modern abstracts, a painting’s era and artistic style play a significant role in its worth. Let us guide you through identifying its historical and aesthetic significance.
Medium and Materials
Original oils, watercolours, or limited-edition prints, each medium has its own value. We evaluate the materials and craftsmanship to provide a clear picture of your painting’s worth.
Condition and Restoration
Cracks, fading, or past repairs can impact value, but the right restoration can breathe new life into your artwork. We assess the condition and guide you on steps to improve its potential.
