Within the Netherlands, artworks are shipped by PostNL using registered and insured delivery.

International shipping is also available. We generally use DHL or a comparable carrier. Shipping costs depend on the size and weight of the artwork and the country of destination. Please feel free to contact us for a shipping quote.

For shipments outside the EU, import duties, import VAT, customs charges or other local fees may apply. Where applicable, these costs are the responsibility of the recipient.

Yes. If you prefer, you can arrange collection and delivery with a specialised art courier yourself. We have had good experiences with Easy2Send, but you are of course free to choose another courier service.

How can I pay?
Payment can be made by bank transfer, iDEAL or, where applicable, in cash upon collection or delivery.

Why is VAT not shown separately on the website or my invoice?
Our second-hand artworks are sold under the VAT margin scheme for works of art. The price shown is the total price of the artwork; no additional VAT is added. Under the margin scheme, VAT is not shown separately on the invoice. The invoice will state “Bijzondere regeling - kunstvoorwerpen” (special scheme – works of art).

Can I return an artwork?
Yes. You may notify us within 14 days of receiving your artwork that you wish to cancel your purchase. You then have a further 14 days to return the artwork. The artwork should be returned carefully and, as far as possible, in the same condition in which it was received. Any reduction in value caused by damage or handling beyond what is necessary to assess the artwork may be deducted. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer.

Do you also buy artworks?
Yes, we regularly purchase artworks. If you have an artwork you would like to sell, please send us a few clear photographs, the artist’s name, the dimensions and any additional information you may have. Based on this information, we can assess whether the work may be of interest to us and contact you to discuss the possibilities.
