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.
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.
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.

Trestle benches from this period feature a long plank seat supported by shaped end supports, often joined with timber pegs or mortise and tenon joinery. They were designed for functional, communal seating in rural kitchen and dining spaces.

Craftspeople commonly used dense hardwoods such as cherrywood, oak, or walnut, securing components with timber pegs and through-tenons. These joinery techniques provided long-term structural stability without reliance on metal fasteners.

Authentic pieces display natural timber shrinkage, hand-planed surface textures, and a warm surface patina developed from age and wax polishing. Look for visible peg construction, hand-cut joinery, and minor structural variations along the edges.

Arrange them alongside a long refectory or farmhouse dining table to offer flexible seating for gatherings. Alternatively, position a single bench in a spacious entrance hall or at the foot of a bed as a practical decorative surface.

Dust the wood regularly using a dry, soft cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish once or twice per year to preserve moisture. Keep timber seating away from direct heat radiators and excessive humidity to prevent warping.
