Appraisal of artworks and resale policy

Do you offer a consignment or resale service for artworks?

Galeries d'Art Beauchamp focuses primarily on representing its artists and selling their work.

We do not specialize in the resale market and do not offer a regular consignment service.

In exceptional cases, however, we may consider works originally purchased from our galleries, provided they are of particular interest to our clientele and align with our current needs and selection.

Each request is reviewed on an individual basis, according to very selective criteria. Therefore, the initial purchase of an artwork from one of our galleries does not guarantee its eligibility for consignment.
For any other resale inquiries, we recommend contacting an auction house or an establishment that specializes in the secondary art market.

Artwork Appraisal

Can you estimate the value of my painting?
We do not offer appraisals to the general public. Valuations are a professional service reserved for our clients and require seeing the artwork in person.

Is a photo-based appraisal sufficient?
No. The condition, authenticity, and other physical criteria can only be properly assessed in person. Appraisals based on photos have no legal or insurance value.

How much does an appraisal cost?
For our clients, a formal on-site appraisal starts at approximately $200. This price includes condition assessment, market research, and a written valuation report.

I’m not a client; can you still appraise my artwork?
We do not appraise pieces that were not purchased from us. However, we can direct you to a qualified third-party appraiser.

Selling Artwork: What You Need to Know

We often receive emails asking, “Can you buy back my painting?” Here’s our professional approach to resale, and how it differs when you purchase through our gallery.

Do you buy back artworks?
Our gallery does not directly buy artworks from clients or the public. This business model is not viable and would prevent us from offering the personalized service our collectors deserve.

Is the consignment service open to everyone?
If you purchased your artwork from one of our galleries, we may be able to help resell it through a consignment agreement. Here's how it works:

• The artwork must be verified as purchased from us

• We assess it based on the artist, condition, and season

• If accepted, it is displayed and promoted like any other piece

• You receive a share of the final sale price

This premium service is reserved exclusively for our collectors.
