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, often referred to as a hall settle, is a multi-functional item of furniture featuring a bench seat with storage underneath and a high panelled backrest, historically used in entryways and communal spaces.

These benches were predominantly constructed from solid oak, featuring hand-carved decorative panels, pegged mortise and tenon joinery, and hinged wooden seats revealing lower storage compartments.

Authentic period pieces display signs of hand-planing, subtle surface irregularities, wooden peg construction rather than modern screws, and natural patination or wear consistent with age.

Position the bench in a hallway or boot room to provide functional seating and concealed storage, balancing the dark timber with neutral wall tones and minimal contemporary accessories.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the timber patina, keeping it away from direct heat sources to prevent movement in the wood.
