Selling paintings in Chandigarh
Chandigarh is India’s best-known planned city, with wide roads, organised sectors and high average incomes. Goods here are typically better kept than the national average and the market is unusually orderly.
Government employment and a large student population both move on predictable cycles. Winters are cold enough that heating and warm clothing follow a clear seasonal pattern.
The sector grid makes finding an address genuinely simple and parking is available almost everywhere, which makes this one of the easiest cities in the country for collecting large items.
Chandigarh has around 1.1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Chandigarh
India Post, Delhivery and DTDC all offer nationwide coverage, and courier cost varies sharply between metros and smaller towns.

What paintings are worth
What lifts the price
- Signed original works with documented provenance
- Canvases with no tears, flaking or overpainting
What pulls it down
- Prints and reproductions mistaken for originals
- Unsigned works with no attribution
Working out what yours is worth
- Look closely at the surface — prints show dot patterns under magnification
- Photograph the signature, the back and any labels
Getting it ready
- Look for a signature and any date, including in the corners and along the edges under the frame rebate.
- Do not clean, varnish, retouch or reframe. Amateur cleaning removes glazes permanently and is the most common way value is destroyed.
Photograph
- The signature close up, legible
- The complete reverse, including stretcher, labels and any inscription
Put in the description
- Dimensions of the work, and separately with the frame
- The signature as it appears, and any date or inscription
Steady year round to a collector and decorator audience. Signed work by identifiable artists sells fastest; unattributed decorative paintings compete on subject, size and frame.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Common questions
Where can I sell paintings in Chandigarh?
List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. The sector grid makes finding an address genuinely simple and parking is available almost everywhere, which makes this one of the easiest cities in the country for collecting large items.
Is it oil or a print?
Look at the surface at an angle in raking light. Real brushwork casts shadows; a print is flat even when textured varnish has been applied over it. Photograph it that way and the buyer can see for themselves.
