This painting was purchased at a charity auction in New York in 2003. The artist, Sid Chidiac is an Australian/Lebanese artist living in New York. My wife and I are moving and would like to get an appraisal completed so the painting can be insured.
The size of the picture is 30″ x 21.5″
I can send more pictures highlighting brush strokes etc. if this is needed.
Thank you for your help.
This is a professional appraisal report provided upon request. It contains a detailed description and valuation of your artwork. This document also includes information about how to sell your artwork, and about the Valuation method we’ve used.
This report is designed to give you an appraisal value for the Art you own, whether it is a painting or other type of art. The information provided will help you to understand your piece and its value. It also provides an appraisal value in US dollars, as well as how to sell it. This report is not intended to encourage you to sell your art, rather it aims to provide information on your art’s value, so that you know what steps to take if you do wish to sell.
Description and history
To investigate this work of art, I used a specialized software to analyse if it is listed in a private database of millions of paintings. The software takes the picture as input, compares it with millions of other works in the database, and outputs whether it is an original scene or copy of a painting. This software will be useful later to determine the origin of the art piece. The results of the automatic recognition are not conclusive. If a match is found, it will be showed below.
We can see there isn’t any match, so I can conclude this piece is an original scene.
The author is Sid Chidiac. Born in Sydney, Australia and now a resident of New York City, Chidiac grew up in Lebanon. He is well known for his Chocolate paintings, but his paintings are in general, valuable and collectible.
This artwork is of exceptional quality. The composition is well balanced and the color scheme used by the artist is unique, attractive and inviting. I think this piece of art would be of interest to collectors and/or decorators. You don’t find paintings of this quality every day.

How to sell it
Antiques, art, and other collectibles are difficult items to sell online. This can take a lot of time. Be patient, but also make sure that the price you are asking for is the right one for your pieces of art. Consider the following tips on how to sell antiques and collectibles online. These tips will help maximize the price of your antique or collectible.
I would recommend selling it online, there are many ways to do this, for instance: Post an ad on Craigslist. Use eBay to sell antiques online. Post a listing on the Etsy marketplace. Sell with direct messages using Instagram. Create a website using Squarespace or WordPress. Use Shopify to sell via a website, POS and social channels. List your items on Bonanza.com, Facebook Marketplaces or Amazon Marketplace. The higher number of ads the better, if you don’t have time, I would recommend to start with Facebook, Etsy and Amazon.
The key to selling antiques on-line is to let potential customers know that you know what you are talking about. It’s much more difficult to sell something when the potential buyer can’t be sure it is authentic. Sellers should use a well thought out descriptive guides, like this report. A good lead generation service should be helpful in establishing these relationships with online buyers, and an effective way to do this is through a classified ads. If a buyer asks for more information, giving them some valuable facts well ahead of time will get you more sales because your reputation increases and real customers are the ones who ask for more details.
In order to sell your Antiques online, you will need to create a profile on the relevant forum (Etsy, Amazon and FB). Make sure you add a high-resolution image of the product (include at least 3 detailed photos) and add some text. The text should be informative and straight to the point, nothing fancy or fluffy.
Asking price is a big factor to sell your antique. If your asking price is too high (fancy company stickers, missing parts, or chip paint) you are unlikely to get many bids. If the asking price is too low it will cost you money for repairs, shipping, and insurance. As a general rule, I would recommend setting an asking price that is 80% of the value of this report, so you will make the listing attractive from the beginning.
About the valuation method
To value this item I have considered the results from past auction sales. Keep in mind that the final price can be different from asking prices that you can find on the internet. You can see ads on the internet with different asking prices. However, a very high asking price doesn’t normally find cash from a buyer.
That’s why our method comprises searching and comparing similar past sale results that had a buyer. That’s why we can provide an accurate estimation of this item.
For art pieces, remember that it isn’t the same a print, a limited edition print or an original art piece. If the artist can’t be identified, the value assigned corresponds to the quality and potential interest of the market for the painting.

Trying to determine likely interests and tastes of a broad market can be tricky. Works by a lesser-known artist may reveal greater interest to collectors than you might expect, but it is difficult to know without some market research. The same applies for artists who have works in the major museums or galleries but whose work doesn’t command large prices at auction or from dealers. Do not confuse print original limited edition. Be aware that the value of a piece of art is linked to the artist’s name and reputation. The quality of the work of art, its potential interest, are also major factors in its evaluation.
Quality art can be a good investment, but a large print or lithograph might not be as valuable. There are many different kinds of prints. An original piece of art has the highest value, followed by limited edition prints, which have a set number of prints produced.
I love the way you write and share your niche! Very interesting and different! Keep it coming!
It is appropriate time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to be happy. I’ve read this post and if I could I want to suggest you few interesting things or tips. Perhaps you could write next articles referring to this article. I want to read more things about it!
Hi there, You’ve done an incredible job. I抣l definitely digg it and personally suggest to my friends. I am confident they’ll be benefited from this site.
Thanks for your tips. One thing really noticed is banks along with financial institutions know the dimensions and spending practices of consumers and as well understand that the majority of people max away their credit cards around the trips. They properly take advantage of this kind of fact and begin flooding the inbox and snail-mail box by using hundreds of no interest APR credit cards offers right after the holiday season comes to an end. Knowing that should you be like 98 of American open public, you’ll get at the one opportunity to consolidate financial debt and shift balances to 0 annual percentage rates credit cards.
I抳e read some good stuff here. Definitely worth bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how much effort you put to make such a fantastic informative website.
I appreciate, cause I found exactly what I was looking for. You’ve ended my 4 day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice day. Bye
I am continuously searching online for tips that can aid me. Thanks!
I do agree with all of the ideas you’ve presented in your post. They are really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are very short for newbies. Could you please extend them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.
You made some nice points there. I did a search on the subject matter and found most individuals will agree with your website.
Thanks for the tips about credit repair on this particular blog. The things i would advice people will be to give up the particular mentality that they may buy now and pay back later. Being a society many of us tend to do that for many issues. This includes vacations, furniture, as well as items we wish. However, you must separate the wants from all the needs. When you’re working to improve your credit score you really have to make some trade-offs. For example you can shop online to economize or you can visit second hand outlets instead of costly department stores with regard to clothing.
