The Guild, an online marketplace for gifts and art has raised $2.5 million Series C in a round that included Dolphin Equity Partners.

Madison, Wisconsin based The Guild bills itself as the “leading source for artist-made home décor products shipped direct from artists’ studios to customers’ homes nationwide.” The company represents more than 1,200 artists working in media from glass, sculpture, and prints to furniture, lighting, and jewelry.

“Guild Sourcebooks” have a positive effect for the artist outside of the site, resulting in thousands of new art commissions for public and private spaces.

The Guild offers 12,000 items for sales.
