How do you guarantee the authenticity of works?
Every work is delivered with a provenance record, conservator's condition report and certificate of authenticity. Works whose authenticity is doubtful are not accepted for sale.
Can I buy works in instalments?
Gallery sales offer 6-12 month instalments via partner banks or three in-house instalments. For auction purchases payment is made in one go within seven days.
What is the auction buyer's premium?
It is 22% of the hammer price at salon auctions and 20% at online auctions; 20% VAT is calculated on the premium. You can see the total in the calculator.
I want to sell my work; where do I start?
Send photographs through the appraisal form. Our specialists give a preliminary view within three working days; then on-site appraisal, reserve price and sales channel (gallery or auction) are set.
Do you ship abroad?
Yes; we ship insured in custom crates to Europe and the US. Customs documents and cultural-property checks are completed by us.
Can I try the work at home?
For gallery sales we offer up to seven days' trial at home, with shipping and insurance covered by the gallery (within Istanbul).
Can I visit the gallery without an appointment?
Yes; it is open to all during working hours. For private viewing and advisory we recommend booking an appointment.
Can I return a work I bought?
For gallery sales, returns are made within 14 days if there is a documented authenticity or condition problem. Return terms for auction sales are set out in the terms.
