For Resellers

Sell hand-painted originals without a workshop, a stockroom or a catalogue photographer. We paint and ship; the customer relationship stays yours.

Two ways to work with us

• Wholesale. You buy at trade price and resell at your own. Volume tiers from ten pieces, better again above fifty. Standard terms for established accounts.
• Dropship. You take the order, we paint it and dispatch it straight to your customer — unbranded packaging, your delivery note, no mention of us in the box. You never hold stock or handle a return that isn’t yours.

What you get to sell

Around forty thousand works by twenty thousand painters, all in the public domain, each with a photograph, verified title, date and holding museum. Product data is available as a feed so you are not retyping a catalogue. Ten sizes per work, two finishes and twenty-two mouldings mean one work is over four hundred sellable variations.

The honest constraints

These are painted objects, so lead time is ten to twenty working days and cannot be compressed by paying more — the layers have to cure. Every canvas is unique in the way handmade things are: two paintings of the same work are the same painting, not the same object. Say so to your customers; it is the reason they are buying.

We do not sell the same painting to two resellers in the same town without telling both. If you want exclusivity on a range or a territory, ask — it is negotiable, and we would rather agree it in writing than discover the clash later.

How trade accounts work

• Trade pricing from ten pieces, and a further tier above fifty. Quoted per project, not per item.
• One point of contact from the first quote to delivery, and the same painter across a series so the set hangs together.
• Proofs before production. You approve a photograph of the first canvas before the rest are started.
• Any size, including formats outside the ten on the site — we paint to your wall, not to a catalogue.
• Free shipping worldwide, insured, on a schedule agreed with your fitters.
• Invoicing on account for established partners, with VAT handled for EU businesses.
