Used original artworks in Jodhpur typically sell for ₹5,000 to ₹77,000 (about $54 to $810). Original art sells on attribution and provenance, so say exactly what you know about who made it and where it came from — and nothing you cannot support.
Selling an original artwork in Jodhpur
Jodhpur sits on the edge of the desert and has a long-established trade in furniture, textiles and handicrafts, much of it made for export. Genuinely distinctive wooden and decorative pieces appear here far more often than elsewhere.
The old city inside the walls is narrow and difficult for vehicles, so anything large is collected from outside. The newer areas are open and easy to drive.
On wooden furniture, ask whether it is solid timber or veneered and check the joints. The export trade here produces both, and the difference in value is considerable.
Jodhpur, in Rajasthan, has around 1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Jaipur, Kota and Bikaner are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Jodhpur
Demand climbs ahead of the festival season and again in the run-up to wedding season, when clothing, jewellery and home items all move faster.

Working out what yours is worth
- Photograph the signature, the reverse and any labels
- Note the medium, dimensions and any damage
Getting it ready
- Photograph any signature, and check the back for labels, gallery stamps, inscriptions or exhibition stickers.
- Measure the work itself and the frame separately, and note the medium: oil, acrylic, watercolour, print.
Photograph
- The full work straight on in even daylight, no glare, no flash
- A detail of the surface showing brushwork or print texture, plus any damage
Put in the description
- Medium and support: oil on canvas, watercolour on paper, print and so on
- Provenance: where you acquired it and any documentation, plus condition
Medium, subject and attribution: “Original Oil on Canvas, Coastal Landscape, Signed, 60x80cm”. Say “signed” only if it is, and describe the signature rather than naming an artist you cannot verify. Framed or unframed belongs in the title too.
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.
