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

Originating in the Ottoman Empire, low upholstered bench seats were adapted in nineteenth-century Britain as practical storage trunks that provided seating for grand reception rooms and bedrooms.

These pieces typically feature solid timber frames such as mahogany or pine, upholstered in heavy fabrics like silk velvet, needlepoint tapestry, or damask, often finished with passementerie fringe and turned wooden feet.

Authentic period pieces usually display hand-stitched upholstery, traditional webbed internal structure, original brass hinges, hand-turned wooden feet, and occasional maker stamps or labels attached to the frame.

An upholstered storage ottoman functions as a central coffee table alternative when topped with a wooden tray, positioned at the foot of a bed, or placed under a large window.

Keep historical fabrics away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, vacuum gently using a soft brush attachment, and consult a specialist textile restorer for cleaning or repairing delicate passementerie fringe.
