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 cassapanca is a traditional Italian wooden bench with a backrest, armrests, and a hinged seat concealing a storage compartment beneath. Originating during the Renaissance in Florence, these benches were designed as multipurpose furniture for grand residential reception halls.

Historically, high-quality hardwoods such as walnut and chestnut were favoured due to their durability and fine grain, allowing for intricate hand carving. Construction relied on hand-cut dovetail joints, mortise and tenon joinery, and iron hinges.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age such as hand-tool marks, natural wood shrinkage around joints, uneven wear on footrests, and original iron hardware. 19th-century revival examples feature deep classical motif relief carving, including mythological figures, acanthus leaves, and scrolls.

Position the bench in a spacious entrance hall or along a wide hallway to establish a bold focal point. Pair it with neutral stone flooring, modern wall sconces, or minimalist artwork to balance the heavy architectural carving.

Dust regularly using a soft lint-free cloth, avoiding liquid spray cleaners. Apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually with a soft brush to protect the carved crevices and preserve the natural patina, keeping the item away from direct heat sources.
