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.
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.
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.

A box settle is a high-backed wooden bench equipped with an integrated storage compartment beneath a hinged seat, traditionally placed near hearths to block draughts in country homes.

Settles were typically constructed from durable regional hardwoods such as elm, oak, or pine, using mortise and tenon joinery reinforced with wooden pegs rather than metal screws.

Authentic pieces exhibit distinctive wide-grained elm timber, hand-planed panel backs, peg construction, and natural wear patterns on the seat edge and feet.

High-backed settles work well in entryways, boot rooms, or dining spaces, serving as architectural anchors when contrasted with contemporary textiles and minimalist decor.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually along the wood grain to protect the timber without stripping original patination.
