I have an Artistic Interiors painting numbered 175827. How do I find out the value of this painting?

It is a painting of yellow roses in an asian vase (I believe). In an oval gold painted wooden frame.I have an Artistic Interiors painting numbered 175827. How do I find out the value of this painting?
It always helps if you provide a link, with a photograph, of the painting.





But to be honest with you, the name Artistic Interiors #1 through #175827 strongly suggests that this painting probably doesn't have any real value to a collector. Chances are it is the type of 'decorative' art produced in masses by artists from Mexico or Europe, the type of painting that one of these artists does hundreds of, getting paid by the picture, to sell to some local wholesaler who in turn sells to department store retailers or 'art' store outlets like Aaron Brothers and these are sold as 'decorative' art.





That does not mean it is not a good painting or that the artist doesn't have talent. But. more than likely, it does mean that the painting will never be worth more than what someone paid for it at Wal-Mart or Aaron Brothers.





If, by rare chance, the artist has gone on to make a name for himself in the art world as a 'serious' artist then it might have some added value. But we can't know this if you don't provide a photo copy or at least the name of the artist.





Anyway, the true value of a painting is always in the joy it brings to the person viewing it.I have an Artistic Interiors painting numbered 175827. How do I find out the value of this painting?
Artistic Interiors sold paintings in the 70's and 80's in homes. I have a painting by Paul Yams, the most beautiful thing I own. We were told it was a 'collector', numbered, signed, and would go up in value. Can't find the ';Artistic Interiors'; company online, imagine they're gone.

Firstly, is the artist someone REALLY REALLY REALLY famous - they would really have to be to have over 175,000 copies of their work out there. Given the subject (and the billion or so similar pictures), it's pretty unlikely that it's worth more than the frame - unless it has been hand signed by the artist and you can prove provenance.





Sorry, I would guess that you have an old copy of a nice picture, just enjoy it for what it is and the pleasure it brings you.





You could take it along to an auction house or an art gallery (phone first to ensure that this service is free!), but I really suspect you'll get your heart broken to find it worthless.
