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 flip-over bench, also known as a reversible bench or tram bench, features a backrest mounted on a pivoting mechanism allowing it to swing from front to back. Historically used in churches, chapels, trams, and school halls, this seating design provided flexible directionality for gatherings.

These benches were commonly constructed using heavy cast-iron sideframes and legs for stability, paired with durable timber seats and backrests such as pitch pine or oak.

Authentic period examples feature cast-iron legs with original casting marks, heavy pitch pine boards displaying characteristic tight grain patterns, and hand-fitted metal pivoting hardware showing signs of natural age and wear.

A pair of flip benches works effectively positioned along a long dining table, placed in a spacious hallway, or utilised in a commercial cafe setting to add an industrial aesthetic.

Clean timber surfaces with a soft damp cloth, followed by periodic applications of natural beeswax to nourish the wood. The cast-iron framework can be maintained by lightly wiping with microcrystalline wax to prevent oxidisation.
