Buying guide

Start with what draws your eye

A few details to consider when choosing a thangka.

Provided by the owner

Subject and composition

Look at the central figure and the arrangement of surrounding details, as well as colour and proportion across the whole painting.

Measure your intended display area and allow room for framing and space around the work. Confirm the exact dimensions before purchase.

Choose a display method suited to the material and framing. Avoid direct sunlight, moisture and frequent contact with the painted surface.

Once you have chosen a work, confirm photographs, dimensions, framing, the total cost and delivery arrangements.
