Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Cartagloria frames are specialised liturgical altar cards designed to hold the canon prayers read by priests during Tridentine Mass in Catholic churches, predominantly crafted in Italy from the Baroque era onwards.

These frames were typically carved from native softwoods such as pine or poplar, coated with white gesso and red bole, and subsequently layered with genuine gold or silver leaf, often enclosing printed paper or parchment prayer texts.

Authentic historical examples exhibit signs of water gilding over a red bole ground, natural wood shrinkage cracks, hand-carved architectural details, and printed Latin text corresponding to traditional liturgical canons.

These architectural frames can be arranged as a curated gallery wall set in a hallway or placed on a console table as decorative sculptural statements that add classical grandeur to contemporary or eclectic spaces.

Dust gently with a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaners that could dissolve the delicate water-gilded finish or damage the underlying gesso and historical paper inserts.
