Ranges you can reorder, and that stay yours
Two things importers get burned on: the reorder does not match the first batch, and the range they developed turns up on a competitor's shelf. We fix both in writing.
- Volume tiers
- To 200+ pieces
- Exclusivity
- In the contract, not in an email
- Reorders
- Same named painter
- Delivery
- Rolled, several pieces per tube
- Seasonal ranges
- 6–24 pieces, first concepts in 2–3 weeks
- HS code
- 9701
The reorder problem
A range sells, you reorder, and the second batch is not the first. In almost every case the cause is the same: a different person painted it and nobody told you. We archive every commission against the painter who made it, and send the reorder back to that painter when you ask for them.
Exclusivity in writing
An original series developed for you is not sold to another buyer, and the reference material is archived rather than circulated. This is standard in our contract — you should not have to negotiate for it.
Freight is the hidden cost
Rolled canvas prices on a fraction of the volume of stretched work and several pieces travel in one tube. We cure before rolling, interleave with glassine rather than plastic film, and roll face-out on a wide core, because canvases rolled early crack along the curve and the damage appears weeks later at your end.
Developing a range
Tell us the price point, the size band and the rough direction. We come back with concepts from our own painters within two to three weeks, and you own what you commission.
Questions buyers ask
What are your volume tiers?
Tiers run to 200+ pieces. Note that tiers apply to repeats of one image — twenty different images is twenty separate commissions, not a volume order.
Will you sell our range to someone else?
No, and it is written into the contract. Reference material is archived rather than circulated.
What HS code do hand-painted works fall under?
9701. The classification turns on whether the work is executed by hand, not on the medium. Confirm duty treatment with your own broker.
How many pieces fit in a tube?
It depends on size and texture. For 60 × 80 cm flat work, several. Heavy texture needs a wider core and fewer per tube.
