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

Baroque religious sculptures are recognized by dramatic drapery, expressive facial features, and dynamic poses designed to evoke emotional devotion. Figures often feature gold leaf finishes combined with polychrome paint on flesh tones.

Sculptors typically carved figures from softwoods or hardwoods such as lime, pine, or walnut. A layer of gesso was applied to smooth the surface, followed by gold leaf gilding and oil- or tempera-based paint for exposed skin.

Authentic pieces show natural signs of age, such as wood shrinkage, fine cracking in the gesso, oxidisation of the gilding, and hand-carving marks along the reverse or undersides.

Designers frequently position these figures as focal points on dark wood sideboards, inside lit alcoves, or atop mantels to create historical depth within classical or maximalist rooms.

Gilt wood should be dusted gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush. Water and chemical solvents must be avoided, as moisture dissolves water gilding and damages historic polychrome paint.
