Frederick Charles Art - Fine Art Dealer

Friendly sales men until you change your mind then wont listen and are rude

I bought 5 art works through Frederick Charles, tempted by the optimistic profit forecasts at a time of very low interest rates for savers. It became clear after Covid that the company had little interest in selling my pieces so I was forced to withdraw them and try auctions. I have made a substantial loss by doing so, especially in one case where it is clear I was hugely overcharged when I bought it.Although there are staff who actually care the company seems primarily interested in pressurising punters into purchases by quoting selected and favourable performance figures and then forgetting about us.Don't waste your money and don't venture into it unless you know more about art than I did.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff

Really friendly staff.

Cold call to a vulnerable patent resulted in 1000s transferred for art". Not possible to view the art with out having to pay extortionate fees. The art was then conveniently moved to another location miles away from where it originally was. Without informing my parent. Currently dealing with Action Fraud. Please note the company is 50k in debt and you are unlikely to get any money back from them.Good luck"

Fredrick Charles where do I start. Selling art work to lonely older people with a nice pension pot, question is where do thay get there source. Father paid £80k basically because of the phone calls to buy an investment. Mixed paperwork and paintings change but very poor records. Missing painting and still no contact. Hopefully I get an answer to this as waiting months for an answer.
