NOTE ABOUT DECORATIVE ART

Sometimes there will be original paintings, pottery, sculptures and other forms of art in a home. This art may have been collected from small galleries during vacations or from artisan markets and craft fairs. Most of the time this art will have a decorative value verses a collector value. This is because the artist is usually not nationally or globally known. If the artist has a significant following that is regional, then it is best to try and sell the art within that region.
