Jenna Burlingham Gallery makes buying art straightforward and enjoyable
Thanks to our extensive collection of Modern British and Contemporary art, we can offer paintings, prints, sculpture, and ceramics from established artists, lesser known names and new makers. Whether you are a first time buyer or a regular collector, looking at one or many works, we are always happy to offer advice on framing, conservation, delivery, placement and installation. We have a breadth of medium, styles, and genres, so for those seeking help and suggestions, please ask via email info@jennaburlingham.com, or phone +44 1635 298855, Monday to Saturday, 10am to 6pm (GMT).
Visiting the Gallery
We have two large buildings next door to each other in the village of Kingsclere (RG20 5NQ) and a further loft and cottage in the same courtyard. As well as the many gallery rooms, the loft and cottage are also used to display artworks, as illustrated on the 'Gallery Tour' tab of this website. The complex of buildings totals over 4,000 sq ft, with 10 rooms in the main gallery alone.
Visits can take anywhere from a few minutes to over two hours and you are welcome to either make an appointment or visit unannounced. We have plenty of places to sit and you can either walk around on your own or ask us for a tour. We have an array of drinks, some wonderful loos, and a wealth of places to eat and visit nearby (again, see our website suggestions)!
It is always helpful to see paintings in person and so do let us know if you are planning a visit to view something specific. There is the odd occaion that an item may be out of the gallery and we can usually ensure it is back in time.
If you cannot make it to the gallery, then we can often arrange for you to see artworks elsewhere or borrow them in your home. It is very simple to organise as we have a weekly van run that covers much of the UK - please contact us for details at info@jennaburlingham.com or +44 1635 298855.
There is a wheelchair ramp available that will allow entry to all our ground floor gallery spaces, though we do not have any ramps or lifts for first floor rooms.
Exploring the Website
Everything on the website is for sale, unless it is listed as 'Sold' and shows a red dot beside the title.
Everything on the website is framed, unless 'Unframed' is written before the medium.
Clicking on an artwork will open further details, including a large image, a description, its history, literature, and a framed image showing the presentation.
Our artworks can be accessed in two ways from the navigational bar: 'Artists', a list of creators by surname, and 'Artworks', individual works sorted into six categories, which can be further narrowed by size or price.
Our Artworks categories are: 'Modern British', secondary market originals, largely created in the 20th century; 'Contemporary', primary market works by our living artists; 'Prints', editions by Modern British and living artists; 'Sculpture', 3-dimensional works of art in a range of media; 'Ceramics', objects by potters and studios including the Aldermaston Pottery; 'Under £5,000', all works from any period or media available for under £5,000.
Once on any category pages, you can Sort by 'Price low-high'. You can also limit to Price Ranges of 'Up to £1,000'; 'Between £1,001 to £5,000'; 'Between £5,001 to £10,000'; 'Between £10,001 to £50,000'; or 'Over £50,000'.
From any Artworks category, limiting to a Size Range of 'Small' is for works under 60 cm wide; 'Medium' is between 61 and 122 cm; 'Large' is 123 to 213 cm; 'Very Large' is anything over this.
All dimensions showing are the artwork itself - the support, e.g. canvas, board, paper, etc. - and do not include the frame.
A search function can be accessed using the magnifying glass symbol on the navigational border at the top of every page.
If you would like framed dimensions - or further images - of anything, then do ask as everything is to hand. Please contact info@jennaburlingham.com or +44 1635 298855.
Buying Art
Buying directly (and instantly) from our website is a simple process available for anything with a 'Purchase' button. You are not obligated to buy in this way and you can also always buy through an online enquiry.
All Modern, Print and Ceramics under £5,000 are available for online sale directly through the website. All Contemporary works under £8,000 can also be bought in this way. The price is listed above the Purchase button.
Clicking Purchase will add the item to your cart and you can either 'View Cart & Checkout' or continue shopping, adding further items to the cart to a value of £8,000.
If any works, or your total, are over £8,000 then we will require you to contact the gallery to confirm your identity before proceeding with a sale. This is required by the Government under AML regulations, much like an estate agent or banker.
There is no additional VAT on any of our works. We operate the margin scheme and so VAT is included in the price shown. The price does not include any additional delivery costs or export tax.
If you would rather discuss any works with us before purchasing, please click the Enquire button or email/call the gallery direct. We are always ready to advise on international sales and logistics. Contact info@jennaburlingham.com or +44 1635 298855. We aim to respond as soon as we can.
Payments within the UK
Paying online for items in your cart simply requires you to enter your contact information, a shipping address, and card details for payment to be processed using Stripe.
You will receive an automatic email from us to confirm the sale and soon afterwards, our logistics specialist will be in contact to confirm delivery options, as below.
For purchases made outside of this online system, through enquiries, we will send you an invoice that includes our bank account details for paying in GBP.
We can, by request, send a payment link that will allow you to settle online using a debit or credit card. Most cards are accepted and we can advise on any surcharges.
If you would like to pay in instalments, we can usually arrange this and then deliver the artwork(s) once settled.
International Payments
We make international sales on a regular basis and pride ourselves on our efficient logistics support.
If you would like to settle in USD or EUR, then we have accounts to pay in those currencies.
As above, payments can be made online, if preferred, by account transfer, or via a payment link. Most global cards are accepted and we can advise on any surcharges.
For all non online purchases please contact info@jennaburlingham.com or +44 1635 298855. Phones will be manned from 10am - 6pm GMT but do leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as we are able.
UK Deliveries
Mainland UK delivery is free for all purchases over £800
A UK delivery will most often be via one of our trusted specialist art couriers to your door within one week, though often quicker.
Our logistics team will contact you via email to arrange a suitable time, often a Tuesday or Wednesday if you are based in London.
Artworks will be inspected and amended before they leave us, though there maybe some marks or scuffs on frames, particularly if they are older or original examples.
Artworks travelling with our couriers will be wrapped in a single layer of strong bubble-wrap. We re-use most of what comes back to us, so the packaging may have a few nicks and scuffs. The bubble-wrap can be recycled with bags and other soft plastics at larger supermarkets.
Though we try to avoid postal services, some small deliveries may be sent using these third-parties, though we will always let you know.
If, for any reason, you are not ready to take delivery immediately, just let us know and we will put your items safely aside until you are ready. However, if it is to be over 3 weeks, please discuss this with us.
US and International Deliveries
We regularly ship to the USA, Europe and elsewhere. We work with a small group of trusted shippers at all price points. If you are considering one or more works and would like to know the shipping cost in advance of a decision we are happy to provide competitive quotes. Works are released after payment and delivery is arranged as quickly as possible thereafter.
After Buying
All our works are authentic and come with the guarantee of the gallery. However, if you would like any paperwork reiterating this, e.g. a Certificate of Authenticity, we are happy to provide you with one. You will need to request this as it is not a usual part of our process.
We operate our tax on the Margin Scheme, so there is no VAT to pay on top of quoted artwork prices and none that can be claimed back. For more information please click
here.
Selling Art
If you have a painting, print, sculpture, or ceramic that you would like to have valued for sale, interest or probate, do let us know.
We are always keen to source Modern British artworks from collections and have a flexible and straightforward approach to both consignments and purchases.
Advice can be given with no obligation and we will often arrange visits to see works first hand.
Feel free to ask if you have specific questions or need recommendations. Please contact info@jennaburlingham.com or +44 1635 298855
