When was the last time you really looked at your art collection?

You might be sitting on something valuable… or simply something ready for its next chapter 👀

At CHG – Services, we help you understand what your art is truly worth and what to do next. Here’s when an appraisal can make all the difference:

✨ Downsizing your home?
Not everything can come with you — we help you decide what stays, what goes, and what it’s worth.

✨ Inherited artwork?
Before selling, sharing, or keeping pieces, it’s essential to understand their value and market appeal.

✨ Fallen out of love with a piece?
Reselling art isn’t always straightforward — timing, strategy, and conditions matter. We guide you through it.

✨ Moving interstate or overseas?
Can’t take everything with you? We’ll help you explore the most practical and profitable options.

💡 With 50+ years of experience in the Australian art market, our Gallery Director will guide you through a professional appraisal so you can make confident, informed decisions.

📍 Appraisals available:
✔️ In-gallery (bring your artwork in)
✔️ Online (simply email us images for assessment)

DAVID BESCHI | EXHIBITION | OPENS TODAY 20TH MARCH - 17TH APRIL

It is with great pleasure to curate this fine collection of David Beschi's watercolour paintings. The artistic skill at this premium level of control of the medium is rare today!
David's knowledge and imagination of everyday places, urban settings with people, overseas travel and observations make the content of the exhibition most fascinating for the viewer. We recommend a gallery visit to see the collection to closely study how David has used the medium in a range of applications to achieve some very individual effects and patterns.
The watercolour is a perfect medium for the artist's impressionistic style and note each painting reflects a balance of light, tone and expression.
Art selection advice available. Please telephone or text 0418 492 259 to arrange.
Yours in art,
Mark Widdup
CHG Director
