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 referred to as a chair-table, is a convertible furniture item featuring a tabletop secured by pivot pins that swivels vertically to serve as the backrest of a bench.

Traditional 18th-century examples were constructed from solid native timber, predominantly oak, using mortise and tenon joinery, wooden dowels, plank tops, and turned legs with reinforcing stretchers.

Authentic period pieces display signs of hand-planed woodwork, irregular turned supports, natural wear around pivot points, and historical iron or timber securing pegs.

A monks bench acts as a practical focal point in a hallway, boot room, or dining area, providing dual-purpose seating and tabletop functionality alongside contemporary neutral fabrics.

Solid oak furniture requires regular dusting with a dry lint-free cloth, an annual application of beeswax polish, and placement away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement.
