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

Produced primarily during the Spanish Colonial era, these sculptures represent sacred subjects rendered in hand-carved timber coated in gesso and finished with painted pigments and gold leaf detailing.

Artisans carved regional softwoods, applied multiple coats of plaster or gesso to smooth the wood, and painted the surface using mineral pigments alongside tempera and gold leaf accents.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-chiseled wood marks under the gesso, age-appropriate pigment wear, faint surface craquelure, and specific drapery modeling styles typical of regional workshops.

Placing the figure on a minimalist console table, inside an illuminated wall alcove, or atop a dark wood sideboard creates an engaging architectural focal point.

Maintain the object in a stable climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, central heating sources, and moisture, cleaning gently with a soft dry brush.
