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 table chair or settle table, is a dual-purpose piece of furniture featuring a backrest that tilts forward over the armrests to form a tabletop, often incorporating a lift-up seat with storage beneath.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from solid hardwoods such as oak or walnut, utilising traditional joinery techniques including mortise and tenon joints, hand-carved decorative panels, and turned wooden supports.

Authentic examples typically exhibit hand-carved detailing, historical wear along the folding hinge mechanisms, natural age-related patina, and timber contraction or tool marks consistent with period cabinet making.

A monks bench serves as a functional addition to an entryway, hallway, or boot room, providing hidden storage for everyday items while functioning as both a seating area and occasional side table.

Maintain the wood by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a natural beeswax polish annually along the grain, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber cracking.
