Frequently Asked Questions
This varies case-by-case but is very dependent on the artwork you submit and the quality of information you’re able to provide upfront. The truth is that many submissions we receive are not by established artists, thus the work is decorative and not possible to establish a valuation. If you are submitting work by an established artist then we leverage our own in-house expertise, as well as external data sources to assess and feedback usually within 1-2 business days.
Where a work has an established monetary value we will provide back a document confirming this estimated market price.
If you are submitting a single work then it usually takes 1-2 business days to review and respond. In cases where we may require additional information we will contact you within the same sort of time period.
There is many cases where works submitted are purely decorative. This is not to say they don’t have a monetary value, but typically this value is not significant. We review and respond to each and every submission, which means we leverage our time in this process. As a result, once you submit a work, we don’t offer refunds if your work has no clear value.

Unfortunately not, appraising artwork requires time and expertise. We also subscribe to a number of databases which help with the valuation process in some situations, and these databases incur annual fees.
Typically we can’t provide a certificate of authenticity. You should always try to seek certification directly from the artists or the gallery/collector that sold you the work originally.
What we do provide is an artwork valuation certificate which is valid for art insurance, shipping, mark to market, debt recovery etc. For corporate clients, we usually work with an excel template so the company retains a digital record of their assets and this is then printed off and signed by us for official records.
