There are a couple of ways of finding out how much a painting is worth. There are some websites which offer free online valuations, to do this kind of valuation you need to:
Upload as many pictures of your painting as you can, these include pictures of any marks, details, stamps, signatures of artist and any condition issues which the painting may have. The better the quality of the pictures, the more likely the experts will be able to help.
Choose a category for the painting, examples would be clocks, medals, jewellery, classic cars.
Give a brief description of the painting.
Measure the height, width/diameter and depth of the item (Do not include base, frame or mount).
Select which currency the valuation needs to be in - GBP, USD, or EUR.
Finally include any other information which may be of help in valuing the painting; this includes country of origin, artist or manufacturer, date of manufacture and condition of the piece.
The other main route to take when trying to find out if your painting is worth anything is to visit an art specialist, who will perform an appraisal on the painting itself and be able to give you a clear indication in their mind of how much the painting may be worth.
There are many antique and art appraisers actively performing valuations these days, and a quick check in your local online or paper directory service should lead you to a few of them in your immediate area.
As with all valuations of any kind of product, make sure you take the painting to a few different appraisers to get all of their views on your painting. This will enable you to have a much clearer understanding of how much your painting may be worth.
