What is My Antique Artwork Worth?


If you have a piece of antique artwork, you are probably wondering how much it’s worth. Maybe it has been hanging on your wall for years, or maybe you just picked it up at an estate sale last week. Either way, knowing more about it can’t hurt, even if only for insurance reasons, but especially if you want to sell it. As an antique dealer and buyer, at Sarasota Antique Buyers, we want residents of Orlando to know if they maybe have a hidden treasure hung on their wall, or in their attic.

The first thing to know about your antique artwork is if it is a print or not. To the untrained eye, it can be different to tell an original apart from a print. Where an original painting will have uneven paint on the edges and textured brush strokes, a copy will have clean lines and are usually flat. But, don’t be discouraged if you do have a print, as some can still be worth a considerable amount of money. Sometimes there are limited editions of prints done by well-known artists, which usually will hold a higher value than originals by lesser known artists.

Once you have ascertained whether or not your antique artwork in Orlando is a print, you should next find out who the painting is by. You can do this by checking in the lower corners for a signature. Keep in mind that many artists used a form of their monogram to sign paintings, so you may have to do some research if the name is not immediately obvious.

Even after all of this research, the best way to know how much your antique artwork is worth is to find an experienced and knowledgeable antique buyer and dealer in Orlando. Here at Sarasota Antique Buyers, we have over 22 years of experience in this business so you can rest assured that we will give you not only the best, but the fairest price possible. We know that just because something isn’t in the best shape, doesn’t mean it isn’t worth any money.
