Resell at a fair price, without the auctions
Major international auction houses and local salerooms alike charge high fees on both sides (seller and buyer) and guarantee no outcome; consumer platforms like Facebook Marketplace expose you to unqualified buyers, scams and rock-bottom prices. With L'Original, your work is first evaluated and authenticated, then shown to real collectors, including on Artsy, which reaches collectors worldwide, while keeping control over your reserve price.
Evaluation and authenticity guaranteed by experts
Every piece proposed for resale in Tours is reviewed by our evaluators: market estimate, provenance and authenticity checks. You know exactly what you hold and what it's worth before any sale.
An international network of buyers
Your work isn't limited to the local Tours market: our collector network spans Canada, France and the United States, shipped from Montréal to France. More qualified buyers means a better price for your patrimony.
Are you the artist? Sell your work and join the gallery
Looking to sell your own paintings in Tours and exhibit in a gallery? There are several ways to sell your art: online marketplaces like Artsy put your work in front of collectors worldwide; the most reputable galleries in North America bring credibility, guidance and a network of serious buyers. L'Original combines both, a recognised physical gallery in Montréal and an online shop, shipped from Montréal to France.
For an artist, joining a gallery like L'Original means access to qualified collectors, exhibitions and a fairer share of every sale than the classic commission (often 40 to 60%). You can apply as an artist and present your work directly.
