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

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and periodically applying quality beeswax to nourish the timber without sealing the surface.

It can be positioned in a hallway or living room to provide both functional seating and hidden storage, contrasting effectively against neutral modern walls and minimalist decor.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-tool marks, timber shrinkage, patination, type of fixings, and the historical construction methods appropriate to the claimed era of manufacture.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as English oak, utilising traditional joinery techniques like mortise and tenon joints, panelled construction, and wooden pegs.

A monks bench, traditionally known as a settle table, was designed as a multi-functional piece of furniture for medieval and later period homes, featuring a pivoting back that folded down to form a table.
