What we take
Originals, prints and posters — as long as they are preloved and yours to sell.
Yes please
- Original paintings and drawings — oil, watercolour, acrylic, pastel, ink
- Prints — etchings, lithographs, screenprints, giclées, published photographic prints
- Posters — exhibition, film, travel, music, theatre, advertising, wartime
- Signed or unsigned, framed or not
- Roughly £10 to £999
- Things with a bit of age and history — inherited, handed down, or bought long ago
Not for us
- Anything you had printed yourself, or had made for you. Reselling a genuine
published print is lawful; running one off is not.
- New work by living artists selling their own output. This is not a gallery
or a shop window; there are far better sites for that.
- Anything likely worth more than £1,000 — that belongs at a specialist auction house
- Anything larger than 95 × 60 cm, or heavier than 5 kg unframed
- Anything containing ivory, including frames and inlays
- Anything you do not have the right to sell
Original, print or poster — you choose, we check
The first question on the listing form asks which of the three it is. That is not a test.
If you are not certain, choose what you believe and carry on — the close-up photograph
settles it, and we will tell you free either way.
What we will not do is let something go on sale labelled as an original when it is a print.
That protects buyers, and it protects you: a work sold as an original that turns out to be a
reproduction is refunded out of money we are still holding for you.
On prints and posters especially: it must be preloved. A genuine
published print or poster that you own and are reselling is fine, and that is most of what people
have. A reproduction ordered from a print shop is an infringing copy whatever it sells for, and
we cannot list it.
