Purchase Options + Locations + Terms

The majority of sales take place as a result of exhibitions. However, work can also be purchased from the studio and online, on a variety of platforms.

David has shown most often with The Scottish Gallery in Edinburgh, where a stock of work is currently held. Tatha Gallery in Fife and Moncrieff-Bray Gallery in West Sussex also keep available artwork on site. Art agents Antje Kiewell (of Artphilia) and Alex Hammersley (of Alex Hammersley Art) have worked with the artist on recent commission projects.

To reach the artist directly, scroll through the main Projects pages above (available works have an email link in their captions) or visit the Buying page linked on the above menu. The artist is happy to answer questions about any of these artworks; about availability, pricing, delivery, framing, hanging. More works are often available that are not listed on this website. Works must be paid for (or payment plan agreed) before delivery can be completed. The artist may also request a deposit depending on the value of the work.* Online purchases are processed using all major cards, Apple Pay, Paypal, Wise transfer and by instalment using Clearpay (Afterpay in the USA; for online purchases only). Payment can also be arranged via bank transfer.

David offers a range of delivery options: from personal delivery, to specialist fragile-goods and art couriers (depending on client budget). Works can be sent worldwide. Carbon offsetting is applied to each long-haul delivery at no extra charge. While returns are often possible via galleries, works cannot be returned or exchanged if purchased directly from the studio.

In all cases, you are purchasing an artwork which uses recycled materials and thus will carry signs of wear.

Certificates of Authenticity can be prepared on request. If you have previously purchased an artwork and require an authenticity document, please email: info@davidcass.art along with proof of purchase and an image of the work.

The artist ships works internationally, from his studios in Greece and Scotland. Neither the artist nor associated galleries are responsible for customs charges on purchases exceeding 135GBP. If you wish to make special arrangements for collection or delivery, please get in touch.

Refunds or exchanges are not possible on gift vouchers. Vouchers may only be redeemed against studio artworks and cannot be used during exhibitions.

Pay only for David's time

You provide the surface (or indeed wall – the artist paints murals too) and David will turn it into your own bespoke piece. The prices of many of his pieces are in part determined by where the surface came from, and how much it cost to source and purchase. Maybe you have an old table, a set of antique letters or postcards, a wooden drawer or tray – something that means something to you. Or, invite David to come and look around your barn / outhouse / basement / attic. This way, you only pay for his time.

Commissions + Terms of Sale

You pick the size and the subject: the artist is happy to travel. Cass has worked around Europe on commissions for private individuals, as well as businesses – notably Brooks Macdonald, Fraser Suites and Quartermile. Please read the below terms.

*General payment: if commissioning work, clients must be aware that if initial payment (whether arranged in full or by instalments) is not met within 30 days, the quote will increase by 5% for one month. If payment is still not met an increase of 10% for one extra month will apply; and thereafter the artist has the right to terminate the contract and keep any work produced.

*If sale is agreed on existing works, and payment is not made within 2 weeks, a deposit will be requested. Thereafter, the same rules apply as when commissioning work.

*Outcome of a commission: the artist decides when a commissioned work is complete, though requests for minor alterations are often possible at the artist’s discretion. It is important to be aware that when commissioning works for specific spaces (wooden/found works) the surface size that the artist sources may vary in size from any original discussion though will always be fit for original purpose.

Aftercare

Due to the nature of Cass’ works – his use of antique objects – the surfaces will naturally show evidence of their previous function. No artworks ever leave the studio without thorough termite investigation (in the case of wooden works). Wooden artworks may carry signs of past termite damage – rest assured that this has been carefully examined. Be advised that when bringing wooden items into your home, you should check your home for woodworm or dampness. These factors will of course influence your painting. Damp environments are not advised for watercolour works, or works on metal. Many metals used show evidence of age – this is welcomed by the artist and adds to the works’ concept – but to avoid rust from spreading it's best to keep in a dry and well ventilated environment. Watercolour works especially should not be hung in bathrooms. Works created from reformed plastics must not be hung in direct sunlight.

It is not advised to store any works wrapped. By wrapping works you may be sealing in moisture – which may cause deterioration to the surface of your work.

If your artwork has been waxed, you will be advised of this upon purchase. Waxed artworks will require extremely light buffing one or two times per year, and must not be wrapped for prolonged periods. The artist advises the delicate use of an extremely soft bristled (natural-hair) polishing brush. Some – but not all – watercolour works are partially sealed with the appropriate fixative. This provides a medium level of damage limitation but can not protect against (for example) spillages, exposure to steam, frost or surface scratching. David does not apply fixative to miniature works; please exercise caution when handling.

Of course, it’s your decision how to display or care for your work, but the artist must stress that these are fragile items. They will remain as stable as such works can if they are properly cared for. For more cleaning or dusting advice please contact David: info@davidcass.art.

Owners must be aware that any hanging and maintenance decisions are their own responsibility, whether the work comes fitted with hanging devices or not.
