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 monks bench is a dual-purpose piece of furniture featuring a bench seat with a hinged backrest that pivots forward over the armrests to convert into a table top.

Victorian craftsmen primarily constructed these pieces from solid softwoods like pine and pitch pine, as well as hardwoods such as oak, employing mortise and tenon joinery alongside panelled box bases for storage.

Authentic pieces display evidence of historical construction including hand-cut joinery, iron or wooden pivot pins, physical wear around the pivot mechanics, original chest hinges, and natural timber oxidisation on unvarnished areas.

Position the piece in a hallway or entrance space to serve as functional seating and footwear storage, or place it in a dining area where the pivoting backrest can provide an auxiliary table surface when required.

Dust the timber with a dry microfibre cloth, apply clear beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain to preserve the timber finish, and position the bench away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
