FAQs
Pawning vs selling your fine prints & photographs
Pawning allows you to retain ownership of your valuable prints and photographs while accessing quick funds. Unlike selling, pawning at New Bond Street Pawnbrokers in Mayfair, London offers the flexibility to reclaim your items once you repay the loan.
What types of fine prints & photos do you lend against?
We offer photograph loans in London against a wide range of fine prints and photographs, including limited edition prints, signed photographs, and rare vintage prints. Our print and photo pawnbrokers specialise in works by renowned artists and photographers.
Where will you value my prints or photographs?
For high-value items, we offer in-home evaluations. Alternatively, you can bring your prints or photographs to our secure Mayfair location for assessment. We’re highly conscious of the delicate nature of these items and take utmost care in handling them or accommodating appraisals that won’t impact the work.
How we value your prints & photographs before securing a loan
Our expert appraisers use auction-based print valuations, considering factors such as artist reputation, rarity, condition, and current market trends. We also collaborate with leading auction houses to ensure accurate assessments that are transparent, fair, and accurate.
How much can I pawn my print or photo for?
Loan amounts vary based on the item’s value. As Mayfair print pawnbrokers, we strive to offer competitive rates when you borrow against art prints or photographs.
I want to pay my loan earlier - will you charge me any penalties?
No, we don’t charge early repayment penalties. You can redeem your loan at any time during the agreed term to regain possession of your cherished prints or photographs.
How long can I pawn my print or photograph for?
Our standard loan term is between 2 to 7 months, but this can be flexible based on your needs.
What will happen with the prints or photographs if I don't pay my loan?
If you have issues repaying the loan, we may sell the item to recover the loan amount. However, we always attempt to contact clients before taking this step and try to find a solution that suits both parties.
What papers do I need to pawn my fine prints & photographs to you?
Bring any available provenance documents, certificates of authenticity, or purchase receipts. These can help in the valuation process and potentially increase your loan amount.
Can I renew my loan agreement against the same print or photo?
Yes, loan renewals are possible, subject to interest payments being up to date.
Will you carry a credit check?
No, we don’t perform credit checks. Your print or photograph serves as necessary collateral for the loan.
Will my prints & photographs be stored securely and maintained?
Absolutely. At New Bond Street Pawnbrokers, we store all items in climate-controlled, secure vaults. Our team includes art conservation experts who ensure your prints and photographs are appropriately maintained throughout the entire loan period.
