Professional Art Valuation Services

The value of a piece of art is largely based upon the artist [who they are], the size of the work, the medium of the work [i.e., oil on canvas], the year of creation, and any provenance.

We aim to identify these elements as part of the valuation process. Making an assessment is then based upon experience/knowledge of the art market, and access to external auction databases.

In many cases the artist may not be well known or have any auction record to work from. We will do our best to provide a fair and accurate assessment.

For small submissions of 1-2 works we can typically respond within 2-3 working days depending on the quality of the information and images provided.

For larger valuation jobs it will depend on many variables such as how many works, whether those works are in singular or multiple locations, and the ease/convenience in which you are able to allow us to access those locations.

Many artworks may just be defined as decorative. This means that whilst they may have personal or sentimental value, it would be difficult to really assess the value.

If you aren’t sure about the artist and the artwork value, you can consider still submitting in order to find out. We aren’t able to review for free.

No, unfortunately we can’t provide a certificate of authenticity. This should be provided to you via the gallery or individual who sold the work to you.

What we do provide is an artwork valuation certificate which is valid for art insurance, shipping, mark to market, debt recovery etc.

In cases where we are able to do a site visit and view the works in person we may be able to provide verbal confirmation on the authenticity of the work. We can also provide introductions to leading auction houses such as Christies who may be willing to review and further authenticate the work if you are looking to sell it via auction.

Sorry, we are unable to check any artworks for free.
