When you buy an expensive painting in a brick-and-mortar gallery, you go to see it in person and decide on the spot whether or not to invest in it. In the case of online sales of lower-priced works, it's not worth the trip across half the country. How do you do that when you are buying on the "basis" of a photograph? When even the artist doesn't want to take the risk of "blindly" sending a painting to a prospective buyer and expecting the money to arrive immediately? But neither does a buyer who doesn't send money up front because he's not sure what the work looks like in real life. How to solve this?
That's exactly why we, ORIGINAL GALLERY, are here. A guarantee for both parties. The buyer shows his serious interest by sending money from his account to ORIGINAL GALLERY. We will keep it in a deposit and send information to the artist that his work has been purchased. The artist sends us the work and we check it to see if it matches the photo, if it is damaged, etc. We then hand it over to the buyer. The artist looks at the work and has the option not to confirm the purchase. In this case, ORIGINAL GALLERY would refund his money and send the work back to the artist. However, when he approves the work and confirms the purchase, we release the amount to the artist (it is the price of the painting less our commission of 35% of that price) and send it to his account. Neither party risks anything in this way.
You can create your profile - and thus your virtual gallery - for free on ORIGINAL GALLERY. You can display as many of your works as you like. Whether you want to offer them for sale or just display them. We will bring the public into your gallery and allow you to show and offer your works to the general public.
Registering and then uploading your work(s) is a simple and quick process, anyone can do it.
The price listed for each work for sale is final for the buyer, no additional fees are payable on top of it.
ORIGINAL GALLERY's commission is 35% of the sale price of the work. (We need this commission, among other things, to bring prospective buyers to ORIGINAL GALLERY to purchase artworks.) The selling artist therefore receives 65% of the sale price for the work sold.
The contractual relationship is between the selling artist and the buyer. ORIGINAL GALLERY acts here as an intermediary (similar to a real estate agent in the case of real estate sales). Furthermore, as a guarantor of the delivery of the work in the advertised quality on the one hand and of the money on the other.
Once the interested party has paid the required amount through ORIGINAL GALLERY's payment gateway, the work is blocked for sale to other interested parties. The artist has 5 days to physically deliver the sold work to the Original Gallery (address Rybnice 100, 513 01 Háje nad Jizerou). Our curators will inspect and photograph the work and arrange for its delivery to the buyer.
The buyer has the following 14 days to make sure that the work is free of defects or to return it and withdraw from the purchase.
If everything is in order and the buyer confirms the work is intact, ORIGINAL GALLERY releases the funds to the artist and sends them to the artist's account.

We review works reported as inappropriate. This paragraph is more about us than about you. When a work is reported as inappropriate, we check it to see if it violates our Terms of Service. Reported works are therefore not automatically removed by the system. If we remove your work after checking it, please know that we had a reason to do so. You should take our warnings seriously. Take a deep breath, read our Terms and Conditions and try to see them from our point of view. If you find other works on ORIGINAL GALLERY that violate our terms in the same way, please report them so we can check them as well.
