Selling paintings in Nanded
Nanded is a major Sikh pilgrimage city on the Godavari with a substantial visitor economy and a settled local population. Trade rises and falls with the pilgrimage calendar more than with any other factor.
The langar and the visitor trade keep a standing demand for catering-scale pots, burners and seating that a city this size would not otherwise have, and it comes onto the market in bulk. Away from that, households here stay put for years, so a listing is usually a real clear-out rather than an upgrade.
The old city around the gurudwara is a knot of narrow lanes where a car simply will not go, so anything sizeable has to be walked out to the ring road. The newer colonies across the Godavari are ordinary driving.
Nanded, in Maharashtra, has around 560,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Nanded

What paintings are worth
What lifts the price
- Artists with an established auction record
- Canvases with no tears, flaking or overpainting
What pulls it down
- Prints and reproductions mistaken for originals
- Flaking paint and craquelure needing conservation
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.
- Do not clean, varnish, retouch or reframe. Amateur cleaning removes glazes permanently and is the most common way value is destroyed.
Photograph
- The signature close up, legible
- The surface raked with side light to show texture, craquelure, and any damage or repair
Put in the description
- Dimensions of the work, and separately with the frame
- Condition of the surface and support, including craquelure, tears, flaking or previous restoration
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.
