Returns

Because every artwork is custom produced and part of a carefully managed limited edition, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges.

If your artwork arrives damaged, we'll replace it promptly. Please see our Damage Policy below.

Editions & Pricing

Every Nick Mele photograph is released as a limited edition.

As editions sell through, prices increase at predetermined milestones. We believe in transparent pricing that rewards early collectors while preserving the integrity and rarity of each edition. Once prices increase, they do not decrease.

Certificate of Authenticity

Every artwork is individually editioned, marked with its edition number, bears the artist's signature mark, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity verifying its authenticity and provenance.

Damaged Shipments

Although uncommon, artwork can occasionally be damaged in transit.

If your order arrives damaged, please email info@nickmelefineart.com with photographs of both the packaging and the artwork. Once reviewed, we'll either provide a prepaid return label or ask that the damaged piece be destroyed before immediately producing and shipping a replacement.

Trade Accounts

We proudly partner with interior designers, art consultants, retailers, galleries, and home furnishing stores.

Trade partners are asked to maintain pricing consistent with the published pricing on Nick Mele Fine Art. Because prices may increase as editions sell through, we recommend confirming current pricing before quoting artwork to your clients.

To inquire about opening a trade account, please contact info@nickmelefineart.com.

Designer Showhouses

Showhouses have long been an important part of the studio's culture. They celebrate creativity at its highest level and give designers the rare opportunity to create spaces that are imaginative, layered, and deeply personal.

Nick has proudly collaborated with not only the finsihed product but worked with designers to provide artwork. It is a privilege to contribute to these projects. As an artist whose work has always been inspired by beautiful interiors, he has tremendous admiration for the designers who bring these spaces to life and is always honored when his photographs become part of their vision.

If you're designing a showhouse and would like to inquire about borrowing or specifying artwork, we'd love to hear from you. Please contact us at info@nickmelefineart.com.
