Selling an original artwork in Orange
Orange sits high enough to have genuine cold winters and occasional snow, which makes it cool-climate wine and apple country, and there is a large gold mine on its doorstep. That gives it both an agricultural economy and a mining payroll, which is an unusual combination.
Driving is easy and the centre is compact. Winter here is real rather than nominal, so for anything being collected in the colder months it is worth agreeing a daylight time.
On anything stored in a shed over winter, check for damp and for frost damage. It gets genuinely cold here, and water that has frozen inside a pump, a hose or a motor does damage that is invisible until it runs.
Orange, in New South Wales, has around 42,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Orange

What original artworks are worth
What lifts the price
- Original frames appropriate to the period
- Sound surfaces with no flaking or overpainting
What pulls it down
- Unsigned works with no attribution
- Flaking paint and craquelure needing conservation
Working out what yours is worth
- Search auction results for the artist’s name
- Note the medium, dimensions and any damage
Getting it ready
- Measure the work itself and the frame separately, and note the medium: oil, acrylic, watercolour, print.
- Do not clean or restore it. Amateur cleaning destroys value far more often than it adds any.
Photograph
- The full work straight on in even daylight, no glare, no flash
- The reverse, showing any labels, stamps or inscriptions
Put in the description
- Medium and support: oil on canvas, watercolour on paper, print and so on
- Signature and any inscription, transcribed as it reads
Slower and more considered than most categories, often weeks. Well-documented pieces with clear provenance sell far faster and higher than vague ones.
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.
