Selling an original artwork in Dallas
Dallas is a corporate relocation city, and that is the single most useful thing to know about buying used here. Households arrive and leave on job moves rather than seasons, so good furniture and office equipment come onto the market steadily all year.
The metro area is enormous and organised around highways, so agree which side of it you are each on before anything else. Parking is easy and most people expect to collect by car, which makes furniture straightforward.
On office furniture, check the gas cylinder on a chair and the mechanism on a sit-stand desk. Both are the parts that fail, both are expensive to replace, and neither shows in a photograph.
Dallas, in Texas, has around 1.3 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Houston, San Antonio and Austin are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Dallas
Distances are the real constraint. State plainly whether you will ship or collection only, because a buyer three states away will otherwise ask.
What original artworks are worth
What lifts the price
- Documented provenance and exhibition history
- Sound surfaces with no flaking or overpainting
What pulls it down
- Overpainting and amateur restoration
- Water damage on works on paper
Working out what yours is worth
- Photograph the signature, the reverse and any labels
- Search auction results for the artist’s name
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
- 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
Pack flat with corner protectors and a rigid board either side, and never let the glazing sit against the surface. Consider removing glass entirely before posting, as it breaks and cuts the work.
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.
