About Us

The business originally started by selling framed paintings to the gift and furniture trade in 1978. This later developed into mainly selling unframed paintings to the art trade and rapid growth continued making it one of the largest suppliers of paintings in the UK during the mid Eighties.

The high interest rates of the late Eighties and early Nineties deeply affected the business and the turnover dropped substantially. A decision was then taken to move the business into the retail sector. Over the following years other radical changes were made including moving to smaller and more suitable premises and later ceasing all trade sales. This has resulted in a highly specialised business that has numerous of contacts within the art trade and can advise customers with authority.

How can Just Paintings offer original paintings at such low prices?

Most galleries selling original work have the paintings from artists on sale or return. This is great for these galleries as all unsold paintings are returned to the artist. The only problem is that many artists have to load their prices to cover paintings that are unsold; they also have to pay the cost of framing them all and storing all unsold paintings between exhibitions. Frequently artists try to save money by framing their own work, but naturally the standard is very rarely to the level of preservation that we use. So ultimately you pay dear for a painting in a poor quality framing job.

At Just Paintings we have a totally different policy. All paintings in stock are owned by Just Paintings. Every painting that we like when delivered to us is paid for immediately. Many artists find it is better to sell batches of paintings at a lower price than to wait for individual sales at higher prices. The savings we make are passed onto customers in the form of lower prices and a larger choice of stock by those artists. Also all paintings are framed for their long term protection.
