Hello Theresa,

I’m sorry, but we do not sell the nameplates. I have sent you an email as well with some other information.

All 3 were professionally framed. One of the frames has an art label attached that has the name of the painting. There are markings on the liner that indicates to me that the other 2 frames had them at one time. I was told by the framer that these plates come from the company. Can you buy replacements?

Hello Mare,

That would really be a question for an art appraiser, but I do not think it would lower the value to the artwork. I am not an art appraiser, so I can not say with 100% certainty though.

About 25 years ago I took her to a Kinkade gallery they had at our Mall. They highlighted or enhanced one painting. Does that lower the value???

Hello Mike,

Because they are still available. They have not sold out. We only mark items as sold out once all of the certificates have been sold. Until that time, the piece will still show on our website as available to purchase.

It was purchased from an authorized dealer. Since ours is numbered 2/10, how is it possible to have these still selling on the website? I have compared the size and edition.

Hello Lorri,

A quick way to check the value of your painting is right here on our website and search for the title, size, and edition of your painting. You can use the search feature and type in your image name. If your limited edition piece is still available, click into it like you want to purchase it today. Select your same size, edition and frame to see what we sell it for brand new today. You can use that as a general idea of value. If you do not find your exact piece, it has sold out. You can then select another image that is available in your size and edition. You could then use what we sell your size and edition brand new for today as a general idea of value for your piece.

If you need a formal appraisal for your insurance company, there are many factors that are part of an art appraisal especially when a painting is sold out, including edition, size, frame choice, condition, image availability, and the local art market. The best source for assistance in obtaining a third-party appraisal is a local appraisal firm in your area. Local appraising firms understand the secondary art market in your region and have the ability to give you the best estimate of value for your Thomas Kinkade Limited Edition Artwork. Doing a search online for art appraisers in your area or reaching out to local art galleries are good places to start when searching for an art appraiser in your area.

The print number is 2336/2950. Is there a way to find its value?

Hello Brandon,

There is no place that you can check those numbers on our website, and we do not provide authentication services here at the publisher. That could just be the number on the seal, which is not searchable in our system. You could reach out to a local art appraiser and see if they offer authentication services and if they would be able to authenticate your artwork. A search online can usually find art appraisers nearby or reaching out to a local art gallery and asking if they have recommendations on local art appraisers is another good resource.

I recently received a painting from a condominium I purchased all the furnishings too. I believe it is an original Kincaid but not sure how to tell. It has a COA on the back with the certificate numbers reading: ADF 014656. How/where can I check these numbers and/or the painting to verify its an authentic Kincaid? Thanks!
