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

Preserve the finish by applying natural beeswax periodically, avoiding direct sunlight, and maintaining stable indoor humidity levels to prevent wood splitting.

Positioning the bench in an entrance hallway or at the foot of a bed provides functional seating while introducing historical texture and warmth to modern minimalist spaces.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-planed surfaces, irregular tool marks, period-appropriate joinery, and natural patination and oxidisation acquired through decades of use.

These pieces were typically crafted from regionally available hardwood such as chestnut, oak, or walnut, utilising traditional joinery methods like mortise and tenon.

A settle is a traditional wooden bench with high backs and arms, originating in medieval Europe, designed originally to keep draughts away from inhabitants in unheated rooms.
