Simple from the start
How to sell art and collectibles online in Kenya
Photograph the work and its details
Photograph the piece in daylight, square-on and without glare, with the frame or base included. Add close-ups of the signature, the back of the canvas, maker’s marks, labels and every chip, crack, tear, stain or repair. For a set or a collection, show the whole group first, then each piece on its own.
Describe provenance and condition
State what the piece is, its dimensions, medium or material, approximate age and, where you can support it, the artist or maker. Say plainly whether a work is an original or a print. Share the provenance you have, such as receipts, certificates or gallery labels, describe any restoration honestly, and price by comparing similar works or getting a valuation.
Pack it well and meet safely
Answer questions and send extra photographs through Juuhudi. Wrap fragile pieces before the viewing, protecting corners and glass, and meet somewhere safe with room and light to inspect the piece. Agree who carries it and how, and confirm cleared payment before you hand it over.
On authorship and value
Let the evidence carry the value.
A claimed artist, age or rarity you cannot back up undermines the whole listing. Share the provenance you actually have, photograph the marks and the signature, and let buyers judge the rest.

Questions before you list
Selling art & collectibles on Juuhudi.
How much does it cost to list art or a collectible on Juuhudi?
Get started for free. Juuhudi takes no commission from the price you agree with your buyer. Full details are on the pricing page.
How do I show whether it is an original or a print?
Say which it is in the title. Add a close-up of the surface in side light, where brushstrokes and texture show on an original, and for a print give the edition number and whether it is signed. A signed, numbered print is still a print.
How should I price art or a collectible?
There is no calculator estimate for art, because its value rests on the artist or maker, rarity, condition and provenance. Compare sales of similar works or objects, and get a valuation for anything you believe is valuable.
Can buyers see my phone number?
No. Buyers contact you through Juuhudi messages, so you can answer questions and decide when or whether to share contact details.
What provenance should I include?
Whatever you can show: where and when you got the piece, receipts, certificates, gallery or exhibition labels, and letters from the artist. Say plainly when you do not know its history — a gap stated honestly reads better than a story nobody can check.
