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 is a dual-purpose piece of seating furniture historically featuring a high back and a storage compartment beneath a hinged seat lid. Popularised during the 19th-century revival movements, these items were designed to maximize hallway space while offering sturdy seating and concealed storage.

Traditional settles and benches from this era were constructed using solid European oak joined with traditional mortise and tenon techniques. Hand-carved relief details, panelled backs, turned arm supports, and heavy hinged lids are characteristic construction markers.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural wood shrinkage around panel joins, genuine oxidation within recessed carvings, and uneven hand-carved details. Inspecting the interior box for historic iron hinges, hand-cut dovetails, and secondary timber backing helps confirm period origin.

Place the bench in a generous hallway or entryway against a muted, modern backdrop to highlight the dark timber tones. Complement the heavy texture with simple contemporary accessories, minimal wall art, or neutral soft furnishings to balance the ornate carving.

Dust regularly using a soft brush to remove debris from intricate carved recesses. Apply a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year to maintain the timber finish, preserve patination, and protect the surface from drying out.
