Pawn My Art

Our highly trained specialists and network of industry experts from some of the leading galleries and auction houses ensure we provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date valuation. The most important factors are:

ARTIST AND PIECE
We consider information about the artist and piece, such as the title, year/period created medium.

PROVENANCE
Any purchase information or papers ownership history will help us provide you with a valuation quicker. In some cases, we can only offer you a loan estimate if there is some purchase or previous ownership history.

CONDITION
Restorations, repairs, rips, tears, surface damage, fading or any other damage can all affect the value.

MARKET VALUE
We consider the current supply/demand balance and any information we can locate from auction, gallery and private-sale records about recent comparable sales.

We also check fine art against loss and stolen registers as part of our due diligence.
