Used paintings in Chandrapur typically sell for ₹2,550 to ₹38,500 (about $27 to $405). A painting is worth what can be established about who made it, so photograph the signature, the reverse and the stretcher — and never clean or revarnish it before selling.
Selling paintings in Chandrapur
Chandrapur is a coal and power district with large open-cast mines and one of the biggest thermal power stations in the state, and a well-known tiger reserve on its doorstep. It is also one of the hottest cities in the country in summer.
Mining and power station employment moves households on transfer and contract cycles, which clears complete sets. Coal dust and extreme heat also shorten the life of appliances, so they turn over faster than elsewhere.
Industrial colonies and the city market are the two recognisable areas, so agree which. Summer heat here is severe, so an early morning or evening slot is sensible rather than fussy.
Chandrapur, in Maharashtra, has around 320,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Chandrapur
Negotiation is normal and expected rather than a sign of a difficult buyer. Price with a little room in it and say whether the price is firm.

What paintings are worth
What lifts the price
- Artists with an established auction record
- Original frames appropriate to the period
What pulls it down
- Prints and reproductions mistaken for originals
- Water staining and foxing on works on paper
Working out what yours is worth
- Look closely at the surface — prints show dot patterns under magnification
- Search auction results for the artist’s name
Getting it ready
- Photograph the reverse before anything else. Labels, stamps, inscriptions and gallery marks on the back are often where attribution comes from.
- Look for a signature and any date, including in the corners and along the edges under the frame rebate.
Photograph
- The painting square on, whole, in even daylight without glare or reflection
- The signature close up, legible
Put in the description
- Medium and support — oil on canvas, watercolour on paper, acrylic on board
- Dimensions of the work, and separately with the frame
Collection is far safer for anything sizeable or framed. If posting, use corner protectors, a rigid double-walled box and a face-protecting board, and never let bubble wrap touch the paint surface directly.
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.
