works outright.
For collectors, families and estates who would rather sell a work once, to one buyer, than wait for it to find one.
Arts Bespoke buys modern and contemporary Indian paintings for its own collection, and pays for them outright. Where a work is better placed on consignment, the house says so and offers that instead.
Send photographs of the front, the back and the signature, with any history you hold. Within five working days you have a written view of the work and, where the house wishes to buy, an offer.

Questions we are asked
AB / FAQ
How quickly will I hear back?
Within five working days of receiving photographs you have a written view of the work and, where the house wishes to buy, an offer.
Is there a charge for the assessment?
No. Sending photographs and receiving a written view costs nothing.
Is selling outright better than selling at auction?
An outright sale is settled once the offer is agreed, with no wait for an auction date and no risk of the work going unsold. Auction can reach a higher price for some works, and the house will say so when it does.
What papers help the assessment?
Any bill of sale, gallery label, certificate, exhibition record or family recollection. Nothing needs to be complete.
What if the house does not want to buy the work?
The house may offer to place it on consignment instead, or name the house that should have it.
