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

An 18th-century oak bench, historically referred to as a form, is a long wooden seating structure crafted from thick oak planks and supported by sturdy splayed or trestle legs, designed for communal seating in dining halls and domestic spaces.

These benches were built from solid native oak timber using hand-pegged joinery, mortise and tenon construction, and thick-cut planks that often display hand-hewn tool marks across the undersides.

Authentic period benches exhibit natural wear patterns, uneven surface contours from historic hand-planing, wooden peg construction rather than modern fixings, and deep oxidisation on unvarnished timber areas.

Position a long oak bench along an entrance hallway, pair it with a modern dining table, or place it at the foot of a bed to introduce rich timber tones and historic texture to contemporary spaces.

Maintain the finish by wiping the wood with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish annually to feed the timber and protect the natural patina.
