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, is a multi-functional piece of historic furniture featuring a hinged top that pivots from a bench backrest into a tabletop, positioned above a storage chest base.

Traditionally, monks benches were crafted from solid hardwoods such as oak or walnut, using traditional joinery techniques and hand-carved decorative panelling.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved relief details, mortise and tenon joinery, natural wear around the pivot pins, and age-consistent oxidisation inside the storage compartment.

Place the bench in an entryway or hallway to serve as functional seating and storage, complemented by neutral wall finishes or heritage paint colours to accent the carved woodwork.

Maintain the oak finish by applying high-quality beeswax polish annually, dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, and placing the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent wood movement.
