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 chest, is a multi-functional piece of furniture originating in the seventeenth century. It features a hinged top that folds down over the armrests to convert from a high-backed seat into a dining or side table, often incorporating under-seat storage.

These benches are constructed from solid hardwoods such as English oak, utilizing traditional mortise and tenon joinery alongside hand-carved decorative relief panels. The bench seat usually lifts on iron or brass hinges to access a spacious storage coffer beneath.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut joinery, pegging, natural patination, and functional wear around the tilt mechanism and armrest support pins. Look for relief carvings, heavy solid timbering, and historical wear patterns along the base and seat edges.

An oak monks bench functions in a modern hallway or entryway, providing both seating and concealed storage. It can also be placed in a dining area or wide landing, serving as a functional focal point alongside neutral decor or modern lighting.

Dust the wooden surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish along the wood grain twice a year to preserve the timber finish. Keep the bench away from direct heat sources and damp conditions to prevent warping or cracking of the solid oak panels.
