FAQs
Do you provide appraisals or opinions of value?
1
No. We review submissions only to decide whether to make a purchase offer, nothing more.
We're a Colorado-based business. Every transaction is documented with a written offer and bill of sale. We pay by business check - never cash or peer-to-peer apps.
How do I know Linseed Fine Art is legitimate?

What kind of art do you buy?
3
We buy original American fine art — paintings and works on paper by artists with an established sales history. We specialize in Western, Southwestern, and Native American work, but we consider pieces across many American styles and periods.
That's common with inherited work. Submit what you have — photos, any markings or signatures, whatever history you know. We'll take it from there.
What if I don't know who the artist is?

Why do you make only one offer, and do you accept counteroffers?
5
We make a single offer to keep the process simple and pressure free — and no, we don't negotiate or revise offers. You're free to accept or decline.
We meet at a location that works for both of us — a coffee shop, library, or other convenient public spot near you is ideal. In some cases a home or other private location makes more sense, and we're happy to accommodate that. We just ask that the artwork be accessible and ready for inspection when we arrive — removed from walls and in a ground-level, well lit and easily reachable location.

Where do we meet?
Most submissions receive a response within 3 business days. If we make an offer and you accept, we work to complete the transaction within a few weeks — exact timing depends on location and scheduling on both sides.
How long does the process take?
7
It could be the artist, condition, subject matter, or current market. We may not always be able to say specifically, but we'll always respond.
