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.

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

Originating in 18th and 19th-century Scandinavia, painted settle benches were designed as functional seating solutions, often featuring pale painted finishes to maximize light inside homes during long Nordic winters.

These benches were typically constructed from native softwoods such as pine or spruce, joined with traditional mortise and tenon carpentry, and finished with milk paint or chalk paint in pale grey, cream, or white shades.

Authentic examples display genuine age-related wear to the painted surface, layered paint over hand-carved timber, pegged joinery, and characteristic Gustavian motifs such as fluted legs, carved dentil rails, or spindle backs.

Position the bench in an entrance hall, along a wide corridor, or at the foot of a bed, pairing its distressed neutral finish with natural linen cushions, woollen throws, or modern architectural artwork.

Dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoid wet wipes or chemical detergents, and maintain stable indoor humidity levels to protect the timber and historic painted finish from flaking.
