The Process
How Consignment Works From Fredericksburg
Upload Photos
Photograph your artwork in Fredericksburg — front, back, signatures. Even phone photos work. Or email t@austingallery.org.
Free Evaluation in 48 Hours
We research every piece — artist, provenance, condition, market — and respond with an honest assessment within 48 hours.
Insured Shipping Arranged
We arrange professional packing and insured shipping from your door. For significant collections, we coordinate pickup logistics or a meet-in-the-middle drop-off.
You Get Paid
We photograph, market, and sell to collectors nationwide. When a piece sells, you receive payment within 14 days.
One honest note on logistics: our in-home appraisal visits are limited to the Austin metro, within roughly an hour of Austin — Fredericksburg sits outside that radius. Everything starts with photos, and for significant collections we coordinate pickup logistics or a meet-in-the-middle drop-off rather than asking you to manage shipping alone.
The Local Picture
Fredericksburg Is an Art Town — Which Changes What's Hanging in Its Homes
Fredericksburg punches far above its size in the Texas art world. The Main Street gallery scene, sustained by wine-country tourism and a serious regional collector base, has made the town a working art market for decades — Texas landscape painting, Western and wildlife art, bronzes, and contemporary work all sell here year-round. People who live in and around Fredericksburg have been buying from those galleries, and from artists across the Hill Country, for a long time.
The result: gallery-quality inventory sitting in private homes. When those collections need to move — a downsize, an estate transition, a ranch property changing hands — the local galleries aren't the natural outlet, because most of them represent living artists and sell new work rather than reselling private collections. Consignment fills that gap: we evaluate what you have, honestly, and put the pieces with market value in front of collectors nationwide.
Downsizing in the Hill Country
Many Fredericksburg-area sellers are retirees moving from a larger home or ranch property to something smaller — with decades of collecting that won't fit the next house. We evaluate the whole collection from photos, take on what has market value, and let it sell on its own timeline after your move. Payment follows you wherever you land.
Estate Transitions
When a Hill Country estate passes to the next generation, heirs often live elsewhere and can't sort a collection room by room. Photos are enough for us to evaluate everything remotely, and we can work with your executor or estate attorney on the rest. Our guide to selling inherited art covers the practical questions.

An Honest Comparison
Main Street Galleries vs. Consigning With Us
Fredericksburg's galleries are good at what they do — representing working artists and selling new work to the collectors and tourists who walk Main Street every weekend. If you're an artist seeking representation, or you own a piece by a painter a local gallery actively shows, start there. That's an honest fit.
Reselling art from a private collection is a different job. It needs research and pricing for the secondary market, buyers beyond one town's foot traffic, and a cost structure that doesn't punish you if a piece takes time to sell. That's what consignment with Austin Gallery provides: nationwide collector marketing, zero upfront fees — commission of 50% under $10,000 and 40% at $10,000 and above, from the sale only — and unsold work returned at no cost. Our pricing methodology is published at how we value art, and full terms live on our main consignment page.
