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, also known as a hutch table, is a piece of dual-purpose furniture featuring a hinged top that flips up to form a backrest for a bench or folds down flat to serve as a tabletop, usually incorporating a box storage base beneath the seat.

Historically crafted from solid English or European oak, these benches feature mortise and tenon joinery, hand-carved panel decoration, turned wooden arm supports, and pegged frame construction to ensure structural stability.

Authentic antique examples exhibit evidence of hand-planed timber, irregular pegged joints, natural surface wear around the sliding arm pivots, and a deep aged patina rather than modern uniform stain finishes.

Position the bench in an entryway, hallway, or boot room to provide practical storage and seating, pairing the heavy dark timber with lighter wall finishes, contemporary artwork, or textured natural fabrics.

Dust regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood positioned away from direct heat sources to prevent shrinking or timber movement.
