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 Swedish box bench, often referred to as a kokssoffa or storage settle, is a traditional piece of Scandinavian seating furniture designed with a hinged or removable seat that reveals a deep storage compartment underneath.

These benches were predominantly constructed from locally sourced softwoods such as pine or spruce, joined using mortise-and-tenon construction, and finished with layered milk paint or oil-based pigments.

Authentic 19th-century painted finishes display natural wear patterns around high-contact areas, such as armrests and seat edges, alongside soft chalky textures and visible wood grain where the paint has naturally eroded over time.

A Swedish painted bench works effectively in a hallway, entryway, or dining space, where its historic blue paintwork can be paired with neutral linen cushions, natural timber flooring, and simple modern art.

Care for painted finishes by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or excess water, which can destabilise flaking paint or damage underlying timber.
