Advice on Selling Your Art Work

Impartial professional advice is invaluable when deciding where to sell works of art, as is advice regarding the presentation of your painting (framing, cleaning etc). The example below is a perfect illustration of this point.

This important work by Barrie Cooke was sold at a Dublin auction room in November 2001, for £2,500.00. It was subsequently cleaned and reframed – greatly enhancing its presentation– and resold in March 2002 at another Dublin auction room less than three miles away.

Placed in the appropriate auction room the painting made a staggering five times its original cost (£14,500), in this instance a difference of £12,000.

Our fees are 7% + VAT (21%) for such work.

We act solely for you. We do not take commissions from auctioneers and pass all inducements/commission directly back to you the client, often   leading to substantially reduced auctioneers fees.

We have consigned major works of art to leading auctioneers in Ireland and abroad, including work by J. B Yeats and Harry Kernoff RHA (1900-1974), an example of which is illustrated opposite.
