Private sales
We can source prices and broker a sale directly, keeping the transaction fair and timely from first offer to settlement.

Brokering a private sale
We can source prices and act as a broker, so that a transaction is carried out fairly and promptly and the shipping and any customs charges are kept reasonable. Our fees are typically 0%, and on rare occasions 2.5-10% where a sale is complex — said in advance either way. Settlement is usually instant, and on some occasions we can hand deliver works with your attendance if required.
Extra services

01
Valuation services
Please write to us with the specifics and we will be happy to advise pricing based on results from a specialist art price database.

02
Shipping and customs
We are based in London but have previously listed, sold and shipped all types of artworks globally. Whether it's a rolled print held inside a tube, a medium sized photograph inside a glass frame, or a large canvas work that needs to go flat, we have the necessary experience to advise the safest and most cost effective transport method.

03
Banksy prints and originals
Specialists in pest control documents, Banksy valuations and global shipping through Banksy's preferred courier. We have negotiated original and print sales at top auction houses with a great reduction in seller's fees.

04
Hockney prints and editions
Etchings, lithographs, screenprints and the later iPad editions — and, most often, the question of whether what you own is a signed edition at all, or one of the posters printed from the same image over sixty years. We place the work against its publisher and catalogue entry first, then advise on where and how it should be sold.

05
Hirst prints and editions
Spots, spins, butterflies and the foil blocks, in editions running from a few dozen impressions to several thousand — and, most often, the question of which of them you actually hold and whether its certificate can still be produced. On a Hirst the paperwork places a work more reliably than the sheet does. We identify the edition and its publisher first, then advise on where and how it should be sold.

06
How to sell
Three steps, and the first takes a few minutes with a phone. Photographs of the work, its reverse and its signature; then a written identification and valuation with the comparable results set out behind it, so you can see the reasoning rather than take a figure on trust; then a choice between auction and private sale, with the terms negotiated rather than accepted as published. A valuation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
