Can I buy Allingham paintings on the Internet?
Yes, but be very careful. If you are dealing with the website of an established auction house, gallery or dealer, your transaction should be safe, but there is no guarantee the picture will be genuine. While reputable dealers will generally use their best efforts to be honest and protect their reputation, they may not be an expert in Allingham’s works, and simply offer the picture based on the style and signature. This is true whether on the Internet or not. Be sure to read the rules and return policy carefully. If you are buying on the Internet from someone you do not know, be extra careful – getting a refund from a stranger may be much more problematic!
