Guide to filling out the Estimate Request Form :
Photographs of both the front and back of the painting as well as any detail photos taken close-up provide us with essential initial information about your work of art.
Description of the Painting :
The Support: is it a work on canvas or on panel? (other possibilities are copper, marble, stone)
The Medium: does it appear to be done in oil? (most Old Master Paintings are but other possibilities are tempura, gold leaf)
Signature: is it signed? A photo of the signature or any marks, stamps, seals on the front or the back of the work can give clues to the painting’s history.
Size: ideally dimensions should be taken just of the work without the frame
Provenance: if possible, tell us the history of the painting if you know it. At what date it was acquired and any information about previous owners should you have it.
NB: all information regarding clients and their works of art is confidential.
Condition: it is also helpful to know if you know of any restoration or cleaning that may have been done to the painting as this can modify its appearance.
Documents: any additional documentation on your painting is always welcome (exhibitions, catalogue raisonné etc)
