FAQ’s
What guarantee of authenticity will I get?
Firstly, we have a reputation to protect so we would never sell any piece of art that is not thoroughly validated. Each artwork is either signed by the artist and/or accompanies by a certificate of authenticity.
What makes a print ‘Limited Edition’?
An artwork is reproduced as a print in a limited number. This can be as few as five or as many as 500 and each print has a unique number. When this edition is sold out, no more are printed.
The artist will decide how many of their pieces are printed and how many of each one are produced. Each print will also be signed by the artist. If the artist is dead the master printer will sign the prints.
Due to the limited number available chosen from popular artists, they constitute an asset to your collection.
How will my art purchase be transported?
If you purchase a piece of art you’ll want to get it home safely. Whether you live in the UK or overseas you can ask us to organise the packing and shipping of your artwork, we can do this on your behalf. This includes working with professional packers, sea and airfreight agents and customs brokers to ensure your artwork is protected and secure every mile of the journey.
If you wish to do this independently, it’s essential that it is correctly packaged and stored in ideal conditions to avoid damage.
Can my art be stored?
If you’re building a portfolio of artwork and don’t wish to display it all in your home, it can be stored - but this must be done professionally to protect your investment and ensure it retains its value.
We can offer state-of-the-art, high security storage to guarantee the safety of your art.
