Selling an original artwork in Dewas
Dewas sits on the Malwa plateau and has an unusually specific industrial base: the country’s bank note press is here, alongside substantial pharmaceutical and engineering industry. It is close enough to a much larger city to be shaped by it.
The industrial area and the city market are separate, so agree which. The highway to the larger city nearby is the easiest reference point for anyone travelling in.
On appliances from a staff colony, ask the age rather than the condition. Colony households keep things well and for a long time, so the appearance understates the years more often than not.
Dewas, in Madhya Pradesh, has around 290,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Indore, Bhopal and Jabalpur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Dewas
India’s second-hand market runs heavily through direct conversation — buyers expect to message, negotiate and ask questions before committing, and a listing that answers those questions up front sells noticeably faster than one that does not.

What original artworks are worth
What lifts the price
- Original frames appropriate to the period

Working out what yours is worth
