La Petite Mort Gallery

La Petite Mort Gallery is proud to announce a new collaboration with local art appraiser, Jennifer Cartwright. We have joined forces to provide our clients with a unique service, which aims to facilitate in the sale of Canadian artworks that you may be considering for resale.

Jennifer offers to independently appraise those artworks considered for resale, while LPM will act as your virtual art dealer and will offer selected artworks for sale in our web gallery. Costs for appraisals are based on the level of research required while costs for dealer services are offered on a lower than average commission fee of 35%.

Developed out of a need to better assist our clients with this often overlooked aspect of collecting and deaccessioning artwork, we hope you find this new service as exciting & refreshing as we do.

Please contact the gallery at guy@lapetitemortgallery.com or 613.860.1555
