Selling an original artwork in Falkirk
Falkirk has two remarkable pieces of engineering a short distance apart: a rotating boat lift that replaced a flight of locks, and a pair of thirty-metre horse-head sculptures beside the canal. It made cast iron for two centuries at a foundry known worldwide.
The two canals cut across the town and the crossings decide how long a journey takes, so it is worth naming the side you are on rather than only the street. The wheel and the horses’ heads are what everyone navigates by.
On foundry or industrial tools, ask what they were used for. Genuinely heavy-duty equipment is in private hands across this district and its working history is what sets the value.
Falkirk, in Scotland, has around 35,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Falkirk
The UK has the deepest second-hand habit of any of our markets — charity shops, car boot sales and online resale have been mainstream here for decades, so buyers arrive already comfortable with used goods and already know roughly what things are worth.
