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

Originally designed for communal dining halls in monasteries and manor houses, refectory benches feature long, narrow seats supported by sturdy trestle legs to maximize seating efficiency.

French provincial benches frequently utilise regional hardwoods such as fruitwood, oak, or walnut, chosen for structural stability and a tight timber grain.

Authentic period benches typically exhibit hand-carved mortise and tenon joinery, wooden peg fixings, and uneven surface wear consistent with age along the stretchers and seat edges.

Long wooden benches can be positioned alongside a large dining table, arranged in an entryway, or set along a wide corridor to add grounded natural wood tones.

Regular dusting with a dry cloth followed by a sparse application of natural beeswax polish maintains the wood moisture and preserves the natural patina.
