Are unsigned oil paintings worth anything?

1 Answer
Are unsigned oil paintings worth anything?
Whether unsigned oil paintings are worth anything varies. Even without a signature, a painting can potentially be identified by a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer. Once the artist is known, the value of the piece can be determined by its condition, size, historical significance and other factors. If an artist is unidentifiable, the potential selling price will likely depend more on its aesthetic appeal. Shop a large collection of oil paintings on 1stDibs.
