About: 

Italo Scanga (1932–2001) was an Italian-born American artist recognized for his contributions to postmodern sculpture, painting, and mixed-media assemblage. After immigrating to the United States in 1947, he studied at Michigan State University and later taught at several institutions, including the University of California, San Diego.

Scanga’s work often combined found objects, religious iconography, and references to classical and folk traditions, creating layered pieces that blended personal history with broader cultural themes. He is associated with the Funk Art movement and developed a distinctive practice that integrated wood, glass, and metal into sculptural forms, frequently addressing spirituality, mythology, and identity.

SebastianCharles Shipping Policy

🚚 Shipping Info – The SebastianCharles Way

Heads up! We like our shipping process just like our auctions — secure, insured, and smooth. Here’s how it all works.

📦 In-House Shipping (We’ve Got You Covered)

We offer in-house, fully insured shipping for the following categories:

  • 💍 Jewelry
  • 🪙 Coins
  • 🍴 Sterling Silver

Each in-house shipment includes full insurance, a signature requirement, and a $10 handling fee added to your final shipping cost.

🏢 All Other Items → Shipped via UPS

For everything else, we partner with a trusted local UPS Store for professional packing and shipping. When your items are ready, UPS will send you an invoice directly for payment and shipment tracking.

🔄 Third-Party Shipping or Pickup?

No problem — just let us know within 2 days of the auction closing if you plan to:

  • Use your own shipping provider
  • Arrange for a third-party pickup

We'll make sure your items are ready to go when they are.

🔐 Address Rules (We Take Fraud Seriously)

To protect our buyers and our business:

  • We require that all shipments go to the registered billing address on file with your payment method.
  • If you need your item shipped elsewhere, payment must be made by wire transfer.

💵 Declared Value & Responsibilities

All items must be fully insured and declared at full purchase value — no exceptions. The buyer is responsible for:

  • Packing & shipping charges
  • Duties, taxes, and import/export fees

🌍 International Buyers

We love global collectors! But due to varying customs laws, international shipments are reviewed case by case and must be pre-approved by our team. Email us to discuss options before bidding.
