Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

During the 16th century, carved wooden sculptures adorned with gesso, gold leaf, and paint were prominent across European churches and private chapels. These pieces served both devotional functions and expressed regional craftsmanship, bridging Late Gothic traditions with Renaissance stylistic movements.

Sculptors typically used seasoned hardwoods or softwoods such as lime, oak, or pine. The carved wood was coated with gesso (a mixture of binder and chalk), overlaid with gold leaf (gilding), and painted with natural mineral pigments bound in oil or egg tempera.

Authentic period carvings display signs of natural age, including shrinkage cracks along the grain, uneven tool marks from hand chiselling, micro-craquelure in the paint, and historical loss or wear to the gilding where underlying bole or bare wood is exposed.

Architectural and religious carvings act as statement focal points when displayed on a minimalist console table, a stone fireplace mantelpiece, or mounted within a clean-lined modern gallery wall to create historical contrast.

Dust gently using a dry, soft feather duster or soft camel-hair brush to avoid flaking fragile paint or leafing. Keep the object in a climate-controlled room away from direct sunlight, dampness, and strong heat sources.
