Selling at auction can be unpredictable and expensive. Auctioneer's commission can sometimes eat up half the final price paid by the purchaser. Selling to Burlington avoids these commissions - vendors gain the benefit of an immediate fixed payment.

How to sell to your painting to Burlington

The first step...

...is to email or send us clear photographs of the painting itself, the reverse of the canvas and a close-up of the signature as well as any labels or inscriptions. If you know where the painting came from originally that might help us to assess it. We also need the dimensions of the canvas, but not the frame. If a painting appears to be a work that we would like to buy, we will either visit you in person, or advise on the best way to have it sent to London. Final agreement to purchase will always be subject to personal inspection. Evidence of your ownership of the work will also be required, for example original purchase receipts or probate documents. If the ownership is shared then written permission is required from all parties.
