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

A Corpus Christi is a depiction of the crucified body of Jesus Christ, traditionally carved from wood, ivory, or cast in metal, and widely produced for devotional art across Europe.

European sculptors in the 17th century frequently utilised dense hardwoods such as boxwood, fruitwood, walnut, or oak, which permitted fine anatomical detail and resisted wear over time.

Authentic period carvings display evidence of hand-tool marks, natural timber shrinkage along the grain lines, hand-forged fixing points, and a layered surface patina formed through age.

Displaying the piece on a modern bookshelf, mantelpiece, or console table against a neutral backdrop highlights the historical craftsmanship and provides architectural contrast.

Maintain the item in a stable humidity environment away from direct heat sources, clean gently using a soft dry brush, and apply a light coat of microcrystalline wax to guard against drying.
