Selling paintings in Ichalkaranji
Ichalkaranji is one of the densest powerloom towns in the state and is widely called the textile capital of its region, with sizing, processing and weaving all concentrated in a town of modest size. Almost every household here has a connection to cloth.
Loom employment brings workers in from surrounding districts who keep minimal households and clear them when they move. The trade’s cycles move household goods along with them.
The town is compact and the market is the obvious meeting point. Loom areas are dense and busy with goods traffic, so a main-road landmark is easier for anything large.
Ichalkaranji, in Maharashtra, 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. Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Ichalkaranji
UPI has largely replaced cash for in-person handovers and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. Cash on delivery is still widely expected for anything posted, and it is worth deciding your position on it before you list.

What paintings are worth
What lifts the price
- Original frames appropriate to the period
- Canvases with no tears, flaking or overpainting
What pulls it down
- Flaking paint and craquelure needing conservation
- Unsigned works with no attribution
Working out what yours is worth
- Look closely at the surface — prints show dot patterns under magnification
- Photograph the signature, the back and any labels
Getting it ready
- Look for a signature and any date, including in the corners and along the edges under the frame rebate.
- Do not clean, varnish, retouch or reframe. Amateur cleaning removes glazes permanently and is the most common way value is destroyed.
Photograph
- The painting square on, whole, in even daylight without glare or reflection
- The complete reverse, including stretcher, labels and any inscription
Put in the description
- Medium and support — oil on canvas, watercolour on paper, acrylic on board
- The signature as it appears, and any date or inscription
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.

Is it oil or a print?
