We acquire liturgical silver pieces, sacred imagery, candlesticks, and processional heritage of historical value. Operating with expert appraisal across Spain and internationally, we offer direct, discrete, and professional service.
The true value of a religious piece depends on specialized factors: hallmarks, artist attribution, the condition of the polychromy, or the purity of the silver. Our appraisal is conducted by experts who understand the nuances of the sacred art market.
Inquire about a piece«A 19th-century monstrance and a 20th-century one may look similar at first glance. The market value of one relative to the other can be very different. That is what we know how to evaluate.»
Not every seller arrives with the same situation or needs. We work with very different profiles, and the process adapts to each one.
Heritage being renewed, duplicate pieces after a donation, or enseres no longer used in worship. We manage these transactions with the discretion required by an institution. No intermediaries, no unwanted publicity.
Obsolete silversmithing, retired imagery, incomplete or damaged altar sets. We value the set even if not all pieces are of interest, and advise on what is worth preserving and what has market potential.
You have inherited religious pieces and don't know exactly what you have or what they are worth. This is the most frequent situation. No prior knowledge is required: we identify, date, and value each piece clearly and without technical jargon.
Collections being reoriented, pieces that no longer fit the collection line, or simply stock seeking a specialized buyer. We know the market and can close transactions quickly and reliably.
We also operate with colleagues in the sector for pieces outside their specialty. The service is professional, agile, and frictionless. Discretion is mutual.
It is not necessary to have a full collection. If you have a single piece and want to know its value and market potential, consult us. The inquiry carries no commitment.
We do not provide generic appraisals. The price of a religious piece depends on specific variables that can only be appreciated with expertise in the sector.
In silver and noble metal silversmithing, the hallmarks of contrast, city, and silversmith largely determine the value. We know how to read and interpret them.
We distinguish between the Olot school, Italian imagery, polychrome wood carvings, and modern resin reproductions. The value difference can be highly significant.
We evaluate whether the finish is original or subsequent, if it is fire gilding, galvanic plating, or lacquering. This directly affects the value and restoration possibilities.
We know the difference between a piece with potential in the collector market and one with active demand in brotherhoods. This allows us to provide realistic appraisals.
Every transaction follows a clear process. No improvisation, no ambiguity. This is how professionals work.
Send us photographs of the piece via WhatsApp: front, back, base, and any visible detail, mark, hallmark, or inscription. Professional photos are not necessary. Good light and several angles are sufficient for a first appraisal.
We study the photographs and provide our technical appraisal: piece identification, approximate dating, observed condition, and market value range. This appraisal carries no commitment on your part.
For pieces of significant value or when photographs do not allow a definitive appraisal, we arrange an in-person review. We travel when necessary at no additional cost.
If the piece is of interest, we formulate a concrete and reasoned offer. No pressure or artificial deadlines. You have the time you need to decide with all information on the table.
Once the proposal is accepted, we manage collection and payment quickly and discreetly. Payment is made via bank transfer or cash, as you prefer. For institutional transactions, we can issue the required documentation.
Institutional Management
Certain operations — full collections, brotherhood heritage, or assets from liquidations or inheritances — are managed privately and personally.
If you represent an ecclesiastical institution, a confraternity, or a family with relevant religious heritage and desire a confidential appraisal, please contact us directly. Inquiries are handled strictly privately, without social media posts or data sharing with third parties. Discretion is an integral part of our service.
