19. Artist`s Resale Right

Artist's Resale Right (ARR) is a royalty payable to a qualifying artist or the artist`s heirs each time a work is re-sold during the artist`s lifetime and for a period up to 70 years following the artist`s death.

Following the introduction of the ARR Regulations, Gilding’s has decided an amount equal to the resale royalty will be collected from the buyer of a work of art covered by these Regulations. This will then be passed to the relevant collecting agency.

Resale Royalty applies where the hammer price is £1,000 or more. Resale royalty does not apply when the hammer price is less than £1,000. The total amount of Resale Royalty on any one sale or lot shall not exceed £12,500.

The Resale Royalty amount is calculated as follows:

Royalty for the portion of the Hammer Price

From £1,000 to £50,000 (GBP) = 4%
From £50,000.01 to £200,000 (GBP) = 3%
From £200,000.01 to £350,000 (GBP) = 1%
From £350,000.01 to £500,000 (GBP) = 0.5%
Exceeding £500,000 (GBP) = 0.25%

Invoices will be issued in Pounds Sterling. From 1st April 2024, the Resale Royalty will be calculated in GBP (£ Sterling).

Each time you bid on a lot covered by the ARR, you agree to pay an amount equal to the resale royalty, if you are the successful bidder. This amount will be added to your invoice.

Lots that may be affected by ARR will be identified by the symbol “§" next to the Artist Name in the Title, or lot number in print catalogue form.
