How do I find the value of an original painting?
1 Answer

To find the value of an original painting, experts generally recommend that you use the valuation services of a certified appraiser or experienced dealer. Although you can utilize the signature on the piece to identify the artist and then consult trusted online resources to see what other pieces by them have sold for in the past, many factors can affect how much a painting is worth, such as its condition, ownership history, size, materials and current level of demand for the artist's work. A knowledgeable professional can inspect your piece and take all of these things into consideration to provide you with an accurate estimated value. Explore a variety of paintings on 1stDibs.
