Are you thinking of selling original artwork? Established in 1972, we offer 34 years of experience in the art business. Loch Gallery offers a viable and safe alternative to auction houses, eliminating the risk of devaluation when a work publicly fails to sell. We have no hidden fees and our transactions are totally discreet.

Although specializing in Canadian artwork, we also have expertise with collectable early paintings from abroad. We are particularly interested in European, British, and American art, as well as "old master" works of all traditions.

When buying or selling valuable original works of art, we understand and respect the privacy of our clients. All sources of artwork are kept strictly confidential and transactions are conducted in a straightforward and professional manner.

We are pleased to provide references to support our professional reputation.

1. Please contact us by e-mail, telephone or the post. We will give you a preliminary assessment of importance and value of your artwork, based on photographs or digital images and a written description of the artwork.
2. After a fair market value has been agreed upon, we may need to examine the artwork for condition and authenticity. In this case, David Loch would arrange to meet with you to examine the artwork. This is made possible by the numerous trips he makes across Canada with no obligation to the client regarding his expenses.
3. Purchase options include outright purchase or consignment sale.
4. Commission rates charged by auction firms range between 20-30 percent of the final price paid by the buyer at auction. We place historic major paintings into important collections for a fee of 10 percent.
