Owning an original Sam Toft is something rather extraordinary. These are the actual paintings — the ones Sam sat with, worked on, and brought to life with her own hands. Every brushstroke, every pencil mark, every wash of colour is exactly as she left it. There is nothing quite like living with one.
We are always thrilled when Sam entrusts us with one of her originals, and they rarely stay with us for long. Her work has found its way into the homes of collectors across the UK and beyond, and we consider it a genuine privilege to be part of that journey.
Sam returned to The Braithwaite Gallery in York on Sunday 20th September 2026 for our very special First & Finest Exhibition and Meet the Artist event. It was a chance for collectors to meet her in person and celebrate a relationship that has meant so much to the Gallery over the years. Original works connected to the event are among the most personal pieces we have ever had the pleasure of offering.
We have been honoured to support SNAPPY York, Macmillan, PAPYRUS and Mind through Sam's extraordinary generosity. Between 2023 and 2026, our PAPYRUS fundraising projects raised a final total of £18,984, which was donated via JustGiving. We are deeply grateful to the customers and artists whose generosity made this support possible. PAPYRUS entered administration in September 2026, so this information is retained here as part of our fundraising history rather than as a current donation appeal.
Following PAPYRUS entering administration in September 2026, the First & Finest exhibition draw supported The Jordan Legacy and its collaborative suicide-prevention work through One Voice One Hope.
We also occasionally offer secondary market originals, selling on behalf of private collectors. If you are looking for a specific piece or would like to be notified when new originals arrive, please join our mailing list or get in touch.
