Questions
Due to the complexity of art logistics, all sales are final. However, if the artwork arrives damaged or significantly different from its description, we will work with you to find a suitable solution, such as a refund or replacement. We provide detailed images, condition reports, and provenance information before purchase to ensure full transparency. We strongly recommend inspecting the artwork immediately upon arrival and reporting any issues within 24 hours.
We work with specialist art handlers and trusted couriers to ensure that artworks are securely packed and transported with the highest level of care. Artworks are typically shipped in custom-made crates or reinforced packaging designed for their protection. If an artwork arrives damaged, please document the damage with photos and contact us immediately so we can assist you in resolving the issue.
We highly recommend adding insurance to any high-value shipment (typically for artworks over £1,000). The cost of insurance will be outlined and included in your shipping quote. While we rarely encounter issues with shipping, insurance provides additional security in the unlikely event of loss or damage. If you choose to waive insurance, you assume full responsibility for any risks during transit.
We offer a range of shipping options depending on the artwork’s value, size, and destination. Standard delivery is handled by trusted art couriers, while high-value pieces may be transported using specialist fine art logistics services. Expedited shipping may also be available upon request.
Yes, we ship worldwide. International shipping costs vary depending on the destination, size, and value of the artwork. Any applicable customs duties, taxes, or import fees will be the responsibility of the buyer. We can assist in providing necessary documentation for a smooth customs process.
For international buyers, local customs duties or import taxes may apply. These vary depending on the country of import and are the buyer’s responsibility. We recommend checking with your local customs authority for specific rates. If you need assistance estimating these costs, we can help guide you through the process.
We source artworks from reputable sellers, collectors, and galleries, ensuring that every piece is vetted for authenticity. Many artworks come with a certificate of authenticity (COA) or provenance documentation. If you require additional verification, we are happy to assist with independent authentication where applicable.
Absolutely. We provide high-resolution images, detailed descriptions, and condition reports upon request. If you require additional photographs, close-ups, or a video of the artwork, we are happy to accommodate.

Framing is not included unless otherwise stated. However, we work with a network of bespoke framers across London, offering a wide range of styles and price points to suit different preferences.

Our commission is capped at 10% maximum of the final sale price. Depending
on the value of the artwork, commission rates may be lower, and for high-value sales we are happy to arrange custom agreements. This ensures flexibility while always keeping your net return in mind. Get in touch for more information.
The timeframe depends on the artist, demand, and market conditions. Some works sell within days to clients actively searching for them, while others may take longer to find the right buyer. We provide regular updates throughout the process.
