Selling an original artwork in Trois-Rivieres
Trois-Rivieres sits midway between the province’s two largest cities and is one of the oldest settlements in the country, built on paper mills that have largely closed. It has a university and a preserved old quarter, and it is a working city rather than a commuter one.
The old quarter is compact and walkable and works as a meeting point, though its streets are narrow for anything large. Elsewhere driving is easy and parking is straightforward.
On old furniture from the historic quarter, check the joints and the feet rather than the surface. The building stock is genuinely old and damp reaches the bottom of things first.
Trois-Rivieres, in Quebec, has around 140,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Montreal, Quebec City and Laval are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Trois-Rivieres
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.

Getting it ready

- Signature and any inscription, transcribed as it reads
